I opened the door to our house and stepped in. My phone showed the time 5.37PM.
"I'm home" I sang by the door and Jackson came running in the hall.
He attacked me with a hug and I almost fell down.
"You are late, I was worried" He pouted.
"Sorry, I was just too deep in a converation with Bambam. He's now working in the same company as I am."
Jackson's face lit up. "Wow really? I didn't think he was into office work."
"Me neither. I thought he worked at the club?" I raised my eyebrows.
"He doesn't anymore. I called him one night to ask where he was and he cried 'I'm never coming to that place again'. I don't know why he was like that nor what happened. But I do know that he quit after that."
"That sounds weird.
"Can you ask what happened tommorrow when you go to work?"
"I don't know... Aren't you guys best friends? If he didn't tell you then I'm pretty damn sure he ain't gonna talk about it with me."
"I think you're right."
I nodded and made my way to the living room, Jackson following me. I sat down on the couch and he laid on the floor, turning on our tv. "There is room for two people, I'm not that fat." I mumbled.
"I know, and you are not fat." Jackson didn't look at me, just kept his eyes on the oh-so-interesting nature document or idk.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and found three new messages.
Unknown: hi :)
Unknown: its josh
Unknown: wyd im bored
I looked over at Jackson and responded to Josh.
Me: Hi Josh
Me: I'm watching tv with

Josh: he said ur skilled and that u look good
Me: oh really?
Josh: yeah
Josh: i think he likes u
I gasped.
No, he doesn't like me. He just doesn't. He's not gay. There is no possible way of him liking me.
Me: no way
Josh: lmao yeah he does
Josh: i ship u lol
Me: no please don't, I'm
actually already interested
in someone
Josh: oh
Josh: who?
Me: ugh nevermind just forget it
Me: i'm just saying that

in a romantic way
Josh: okay
Josh: if not in a romantic way,
in a sexual way?? ;))
Me: no...
Me: just drop it, Jimin is
just a friend to me
Josh: yeah i got it, i was just
teasing u
"Who are you texting?" Jackson had turned around on the floor.
"Josh" I said. Jackson's expression changed.
"Who is he?" His voice got lower. Was he jealous?
Dammit what do I say? I can't tell him I dance... He'll ridicule me.
"He's a friend I met at the gym" that's not the whole truth but atleast I'm not lying!
"When did you meet him?"
"Two days ago."
"When you refused to let me come with you? Did you want to meet him without me knowing? Are you guys dating?" Jackson sat up.
"What the hell Jackson? Why do you care so much?"
"I just... Ugh just forget I said anything."
"No, Jackson, I just want to know what the fuck is going on"
"How about you tell me what the fuck is going on. You go out every evening and I don't know where you are, you don't tell me or let me come with you! I want to spend time with you but you're always busy nowadays. And then you text a guy when I finally get to be with you"
"Again, why do you care so much? I have a life you know, I have my hobbies, I have my job, I have my friends."
"You wanna know why I care?" Jackson raised his voice and got up.
"Yes I fucking do!" I got up aswell.
"Because you're my friend and it pains me to know that you rather spend your time with others instead of me!"
"Are you serious? Wow." I hissed.
"Yes I fucking am." He hissed back.
I sighed and turned around so my back was towards him. I was angry, was he trying to control me and my freedom?
"I just want to spend time with you because..."
I closed my eyes tightly.
"...because I fucking love you, Mark." His voice cracked.
