"in your face!"youngjae shouts as he watches jaebum beat jinyoung. since he was pregnant he didn't want to take the risk of hurting the baby so he didn't play. jaebum smiled back at youngjae and jinyoung rolls his eyes.
mark sat next to youngjae, a frown on his face as he looked down at his phone. he wished jackson would call him, or hell at least text. his thumb caressed over jackson on his lock screen. he really missed him.
"what's wrong? you look like you would have a pretty smile, please smile,"chen and lay watched as ara went over to mark. mark frowned a bit and put her on his lap.
"i'm sorry, someone i really love is gone,"he says. she tilts her head and puts a thinking face on, making her parents laugh.
"well, if they really love you they will come back. that's what mommy always tells me!"ara says, pointing to chen. mark smiles and she squeals.
"see! you do have a pretty smile!"
"thank you, you do too,"mark says softly.
"can i see the someone you love?"she asks curiously. mark nods, grabbing his phone and showing her his background. it was a picture of jackson with his arms around mark. mark had the biggest smile on his face. they were happy.
"he looks like he loves you very much. everything will be okay,"ara says, wrapping her arms around mark as a tear fell from his eyes. she wiped it away and grabbed his hand, dragging him to the game section and giving him a few tokens.
"ara is a smart girl,"youngjae says, rubbing his stomach and sitting down next to lay and chen. he was about 5 months in now, meaning school was coming up. also meaning there was only 4 more till jaebum and him would see their baby.
"when do you find out the gender?"chen asks, lacing his hand with lay. youngjae smiles and thinks back to what the doctor said.
"we are gonna keep it a surprise,"youngjae says. the baby's room will be white with ocean patterns since the boy's both loved the ocean.
"can we help you decorate?!?"chen squeals. he had so much fun decorating for ara that he'd love to do it again. youngjae nods, that was a project to do before school time, why not get it all ready?
"we can do it sometime this week."
"we kept all the things from ara's baby days, you could use them if you'd like,"chen smiles. youngjae's eyes widen as he hugs the elder. tears spilled out as he was getting emotional. he didn't know there would be so much help and he was truly thankful for the two parents.
"awh looks like your hormones are insane today,"chen laughs and youngjae returns one with a smile as he sniffed, wiping his tears. a loud boom is heard as jaebum got a strike, winning the game.
"suck it!"jaebum yells, looking at youngjae who had raised his eyebrow. jaebum mutters out a sorry as yugyeom throws a fit. he stomps his foot and goes over to bambam, pouting and pretending to cry.
"you two are such children jesus,"youngjae says as ara comes back with mark. he had a lollipop and some fake jewelry on from the games they played. ara smiles and adjusts her princess crown.
"how was it princess?"chen asks. she starts explaining how mark was amazing at basketball, making the older smile for once in a long time. youngjae smiles but gets interrupted by a call from jackson.
he gets up, going outside and answering, immediately asking what was wrong. jackson let out a cough, a loud yet weak cough.
"y-youngjae. tell him i love him please,"jackson mutters out. youngjae's heart felt as if he was running a marathon. jackson sounded so sick.
"jackson what's going on?"youngjae panics. jaebum walks out and sees youngjae's wide eyes. he holds up a finger and puts jackson on speaker.
"youngjae please. j-just tell him i love him,"jackson pleads. youngjae replies with an okay. jackson smiles from the other side of the phone before his vision started to fade. the phone drops as jackson passes out on the floor of his apartment kitchen.
"jackson?"
"jackson where are you?!?"youngjae screams into the phone. jaebum takes the phone, making youngjae slump into his arms and start to sob. jaebum had tears rushing down his face too. but he had to be strong. his hand trailed down youngjae's back.
soon enough the rest of the boy's and ara came out to find youngjae crying into jaebum's shoulder. they didn't expect jaebum to be crying either so they knew it was serious.
"what's wrong?"
"jackson,"mark's heart dropped at the thought. what's wrong with jackson? youngjae turned his head to mark and saw the older become shaky.
"y-youngjae. what's wrong with jackson?"
"he's gone mark,"mark lost it. his body gave out and he fell to the ground, his head hitting the concrete and a pool of blood surrounding it. youngjae screams and starts crying more as jinyoung rushes over, hoseok calling 911. ara was crying in her dad's chest.
"he loves you,"
