Chapter 3
That it's how Mark ended up in the cafe, seating at the table beside Jackson's with his back to the younger's, that way he won't feel like he is disturbing the couple but still close enough to give Jackson support.
Jackson feels his heart beats faster as each minute pass by, dreading whatever that coming his way especially after witnessing the scene earlier.
The moment he spotted Jinyoung walking into the cafe, Jackson feels his heart drops and instantly he feels sick.
"Hey.." Jackson greeted, tried to at least but he knows how awkward it was just by the way the younger roll his eyes at his greeting before taking a seat opposite of him.
Neither one speak first after they ordered their drinks, just looking at each other like as if waiting for the other to start the conversation first.
'Jinnie, can you explain to me what is going on?" Jackson decided to talk, something at least or the tension might just kill someone.
"Don't you get it by now, Jackson?" Jinyoung questioned back, amazed that the older still didn't get the message even after all these.
"No, I don't because I didn't do anything wrong to deserve all these. What did I do that until you had to treat me like this?" Jackson rebutted back, disappointment clear on his face as he look at Jinyoung's nonchalant expression.
"You didn't do anything wrong, I just deserve someone better." Jinyoung replied, luxuriously sipping his newly arrived coffee in between words.
"What?" Jackson exclaimed in shock, in disbelief at how shameless the younger sounded.
"Isn't it funny how you still blindly believes that I love you? You are such a fool, Jackson Wang. All these years, the only reason I was even by your side is because you gave me everything, even yourself. Of course, I wouldn't reject free services and here you are, believing that I'm into you." Jinyoung chuckled, unbothered by Jackson's crushed expression.
Jackson wanted to just punch the life out of the so called human in front of him right now but his body wouldn't move, like as if it frozen up with those words.
"I'm sure by now, you got what I mean. Let's just break up, there is no reason for me to be with you anymore. I deserve somebody better than you, you are not much of a help anymore anyway." Jinyoung suggested like as if it's the most casual thing to say while eyes busy on his phone screen.
"If you gonna hurt me like this, why didn't you just reject me four years ago when I confessed?" Jackson questioned, his heart throbbing at the thought of how happy he was when his confession got accepted at that time but just to find out now, he was just being make used by the younger.
"You think if I rejected you at that time, you will ever get yourself a boyfriend? Please, you are just a pathetic nerdy loser in everybody's eyes. It was me who makes your final year of college a breeze so don't start complaining now." Jinyoung smirked in amusement when he noticed the clear hurt in Jackson's eyes.
Jackson couldn't believe it that the person he loved with all his life just sees him as a worthless piece of trash instead.
"If that's all, I'm out of here." Jinyoung exclaimed, getting ready to leave but pause for a while to put the cake box that he had bring along earlier on the table.
"Eat this, I think you need it more than me." Jinyoung mocked, smiling at how Jackson looking at him in utter disappointment.
Of course Jackson is aware of the box content, it was very same birthday cake he baked for the younger this morning, untouched.
