Chapter 6

"Did you just called me, baby?" Jackson questioned in awe, he has been around the older for as long as he could remember but he never hear that term of endearment out of Mark's mouth before.

"Aren't you one?" Mark replied, rolling his eyes at Jackson's face of amusement before walking away to grab some spoons from the kitchen for their ice-cream.

"Hey, I'm not a baby." Jackson complained, trailing after the older while pouting away.

Mark ignore the puppy that's sulking behind him, plopping himself on the couch before opening the big tub of ice cream.

"Mine!" Jackson shouted in excitement, running towards the older before snatching and hugging the tub with pure love.

"Yes, very adult like of you." Mark mused, passing the younger a spoon before he start digging in with pure happiness.

Seeing how Jackson enjoying the treat, he smile in relief before getting up and opening their favourite tracks on, loudly to enjoy while munching the snacks that he gotten earlier.

"This is heaven." Jackson commented happily, enjoying the background music with his ice-cream while stealing a few chips in between from Mark.

It might seems weird if others sees the situation now but that just how it has been for these best friends, music and snacks are the things that free them from everything including stress.

Hours passed by as the boys chilled while listening to old tracks that bring back the memories they share growing up, their trouble making days.

"Who would have thought you came back?" Jackson suddenly exclaimed, resting after finishing his tub of ice-cream, head on Mark's lap.

"Why? You don't think I would?" Mark questioned back, wondering why the younger said that.

"Well, you had a good life back there. Being the youngest professor around, what more can you ask for?
Basically, you are living your dream there, I don't see any reason for you give up on it and come back." Jackson explained, earning an understanding nod from the other.

"If you put it like that, it's kinda of true but still my family is here including you. It just make more sense that I return back home to be with my loved ones." Mark exclaimed, fingers unconsciously playing with Jackson's hair.

"For that, I'm thankful, Ge. I don't know what would happen if you weren't here." Jackson thanked, smiling softly to the older that he had always admire and respect so much.

Mark return the smile, patting Jackson's head lovingly, at times like these he was glad Jackson was apart of his life.

The warm and touching moment was disturb by the door bell ringing, which cause Jackson to immediately jolt up and pause the track that is playing while Mark headed for the door with full of curiosity.

The older wasn't expecting to see an annoyed Jinyoung when he opened the door, wondering why Jackson's ex is here at this timing.

Wherelse Jinyoung who was ready to shout at them for disturbing his rest, couldn't speak a single word when he was greeted by the english speaking stranger instead of his ex.

Sensing that Jinyoung kinda of struggling to converse with him, Mark turn around before calling out 'baby' for his Mandu again.

"Baby? Again?" Jackson muttered to himself, looking at Mark weirdly but then he realize the situation, it must be that so called human being at their door right now.
