The Hindmost {Markson}

Chapter 22

(*Author's POV)

Shortly after the Kang siblings left Jackson and Mark also decided to go. While on their way back Jackson explained what was said to him to Mark. How Jackson's mother found out about Lizzy and that they were expected to come back to HongKong by tomorrow.

Also how Yejin caught on to this demanding that the younger was supposed to return back to Korea right after; if not then what he thought was a budding relationship would be completely chopped off.

"...And I don't know what I should do." Jackson spoke softly after having vented to Mark as they both had arrived back at the apartment building.

After hearing and computing all this information Mark pondered what he should say in response to Jackson. He had three options in his head.

One to encourage him in his pursuit of mending things with either girl. Two to stay neutral and tell him that he should follow his heart. Or three...tell him that both girls were too much trouble and to move on.

"...Well, it does seem complicated." Mark replied not feeling up to choosing on one of the three just yet. All the while they made their way to the correct apartment number.

"Yeah what do you think we should do hyung?" Jackson asked. This surprised Mark a bit.

"We?"

"Yeah you're coming with me aren't you? I mean you're free to do what you like." Jackson rambled a bit as they both arrived at the apartment door.

"Of course." Mark nodded as they arrived at the apartment and he opened up the door. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was concerned as they had left their place unlocked not having a key.

"Okay cool." Jackson replied as they both made their way inside taking off heir shoes.

Both feeling very tried they headed straight for the couch. Jackson collapsed onto it laying face down horizontally. Mark watching the younger get comfortable just stood there for a moment since he also wanted to rest but there was no space left.

"Oh sorry." Jackson said seeing this he lifted his feet up allowing a space for Mark to sit.

Mark chuckled a little but took the spot gratefully. And once he was sat down Jackson laid his legs back down on the older's lap. But just as Mark was going to scoot up more Jackson flipped his body so he was laying on his back.

"Sorry do my legs bother you?" Jackson asked wiggling his feet which laid on Mark's right thigh.

"It's fine." Mark replied unsure if he should casually lay his arms on the younger's legs or not.

"...Hyung...I believe you're doing it again." Jackson said staring at Mark's face. He was getting this familiar awkward feeling from Mark.

"What?" Mark shifted his wavering eyes to Jackson.

"I know you're normally quiet but if you want to say something I won't get mad." Jackson spoke with sincerity.

"Me?...I'm just worrying about you I guess." Mark spoke honestly eyes shifting away and he softly glared at the ground.

At hearing this Jackson sat up and took his legs off him and sat on the couch sideways looking at the older.

"I'm sorry I didn't want my problems to become troublesome for you." Jackson said as he placed his hand on Mark's mid-thigh.

"No, they aren't troublesome at all. You're...close so I just figured it was okay to worry." Mark struggled to express his feelings in neutral words.
