Cold ~ Markson

Epilogue

The next week was pretty hectic. Jackson tried to talk to Mark but Mark would just walk away with teary eyes. Mark stayed home from school for 2 days before he actually felt well enough to even try going to school. Even when he got there he barely talked to anyone.

Considering that he was a popular kid that every girl swoons over, everyone had noticed his sadness and had kept asking him about it. That was until he got fed up at lunch.

He stood up on top of the round cafeteria table that they sat at and looked out at everyone.

"LISTEN UP! I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!" He yelled out above the crowd and everyone looked at him.

"I'M A HUMAN. I HAVE FEELINGS. OKAY? I'M NOT SOME OBJECT THAT YOU CAN TREAT HOWEVER YOU WANT. I AM NOT ANYONE'S PROPERTY. THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO HOLDS MY HEART. SO STOP TRYING TO ACT LIKE YOU ALL ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. NOW STOP ASKING QUESTIONS AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" He yelled before sitting down and eating his food. The cafeteria was silent. Even his friends were silent. Nobody knew what to say, they had never seen Mark act that way. After a few minutes of silence Mark got up and walked out of the cafeteria and to the bathroom.

"Mark?" Someone said as they entered the bathroom cautiously, hoping not to upset the boy any further.

"What do you want? You already hurt me enough." The other boy heard Mark say from the corner of the bathroom.

"I know..." Jackson said trying not cry.

"No. No you don't. You don't know how much pain I am going through right now. I've loved you since 4th grade. 4TH FUCKING GRADE JACKSON. I hate you for making me love you. I hate you for this pain in my heart. I hate your perfect smile, and your dark brown eyes! I "hate" you so much! But as you can CLEARLY see, the worst part is...I actually don't hate you at all!" Mark yelled at the top of his lungs as tears continuously streamed down his face.

Jackson pushed Mark up against the wall and pinned his hands beside his face. He leaned in so their faces were almost touching and stared deep into Mark's eyes.

"Mark. I'm gonna say this once and you're gonna listen closely. I ran, yes. Because I didn't know what to say. I've been in love with you since I've met you and I'm not just going to let you get away. Not again." Jackson said sternly and stared straight into Mark's deep chocolate brown eyes.

Jackson pressed his lips against Mark's in a soft and passionate kiss. He pulled away, but was soon caught off guard when Mark initiated a kiss quickly and passionately on his lips. They pulled away and rested their foreheads against each other's.

"I've been waiting so long to be able to do that." Mark laughed.

"Will you please just be my boyfriend already?" Jackson said and Mark pecked Jackson's lips.

"Of course. Now can we please go back to the cafeteria? I'm starving!" Mark yelled and they intertwined their hands before walking back to the cafeteria.

Jackson gestured to his friends to come over to Mark's table and they smiled at them before going over. Mark went up to buy food and came back to sit next to Jackson with the whole group.

"SoOoO did y'all finally figure it out?" Youngjae said and they both laughed.

"We sure did." They said at the same time before lovingly looking into each other's eyes.

Everyone in the cafeteria had been watching them walk together. And their intertwined hands didn't go unnoticed.

Now the whole school knew that their beloved school crush, Mark Tuan, was indeed gay. And that none of them could even stand a chance because he had Jackson...and Jackson was all that he wanted.
