Chapter 2
Mark peeked out, sighing at the sight of his Mandu curl up into a ball on his couch with a tears stained face.
It had already been an hour since he practically dragged the big baby into his apartment which happens to be next to the younger's since he had already planned on staying close by the younger as a way to fill up the time they lost while his away in L.A so he rented the apartment beside the younger when he found out it was vacant.
It just didn't occur to him that he will return back to a crying Jackson, something that he rarely witness so of course he freaked out when the younger just kept on crying without saying even a single word.
Sighing, Mark took out the warm glass of milk from the microwave before returning back to his living room and offering his big baby the glass.
As Jackson look up, he instantly feels bad when he saw the worried expression on his usually calm and cool Dimsum.
"Thank you, Dimsum." Jackson thanked softly, giving the older whose right now already plopped down beside him a small smile.
"Now, can you tell me what happened to you?" Mark questioned slowly, seriousness clear in his voice as he give the younger his full attention.
Jackson hesitate for a bit because he didn't want to burden the older with his situation but when he saw Mark's concerned face, he knows he couldn't keep anything from the other.
"You know Jinyoung, right?" Jackson question, earning a nod from Mark who somehow got the feeling that things might be connected to the said person.
Of course Mark knows who's Jinyoung, the very person that Jackson would mention in their every e-mail or skype session. Park Jinyoung, the love of Jackson's life, Mark knows at least that much.
"He accused me of being his stalker earlier this morning at the office in front of everyone when I just tried to pass his birthday cake.
Usually I would understand if he chase me away from his desk to avoid other's eyes but today, he just seem so different, like as if the Jinyoung I know change in just a week span.
With all the judging eyes looking my way, I kinda of just left work and returned back here but I couldn't even enter my own apartment.
I found out from Mi Sook Imo that he took over the renting, claiming that I moved out and asked Imo to keep my belongings over at her place.
When I heard everything, I couldn't comprehend what I did wrong to deserve all this. I just somehow end up venting my anger at that stupid door." Jackson explained, resting his throbbing head due to all the crying on Mark's shoulder.
"Wait..that means all these while you guys dated in secret?" Mark questioned in shock after processing the younger's words.
"At least at work, we did. He told me that he wasn't comfortable about revealing our relationship to our colleagues since I was the one that got him into the company, he didn't want rumors going around saying that he got the job through connection." Jackson added, snuggling closer to the warm & fuzzy older who somehow lessen his pain.
"Seriously? How could you date a guy like that for four years? He's just outright selfish." Mark scolded, shaking his head at how his silly Mandu endure that Park Jinyoung.
"I know, hyung. He can be selfish but still his my Jinyoung." Jackson muttered, clearly knows that Mark didn't mean to hurt his feelings with those words but somehow it did stings him a bit.
Mark wasn't stupid, he instantly noticed the hurt in the younger's tone but still he can't go soft on Jackson especially after seeing him in this state.
