A/N:  Only one chapter to go after this. And I'm sorry but I have the feeling my writings don't go without angst! ^-^ Still, hope you all like it! Also, thanks to everyone who comments, gives hearts. I'm so grateful for that <3

  The first thing Jackson saw when he woke up the next morning was Mark, cuddled against him, still asleep with a smile on his face. What happened yesterday came flashing back and Jackson buried his face in his pillow, not wanting to face the consequences.
They really did it again. And the worst it meant Jackson was able to switch too. And the alpha wasn't sure if that was good or not.
After debating in his head what to do, the younger alpha got up, quietly going to the bathroom, feeling that he was still sore from yesterday's activities.
He quickly jumped into the shower, getting rid of all the dry cum. They had been so tired yesterday, that they hadn't even cleaned up. Probably because Mark had to knot him. Best and worst twenty minutes Jackson had ever had.
After Jackson had showered he looked into the mirror observing his neck looking for any marks the other could have left. And really there were a few purple bruises and even a small wound. And...and that near...
Jackson was freaking out. Mark didn't? The other alpha marked him. Thinking back to yesterday, he could remember it. But in the heat of the moment, Jackson hadn't complained or even cared.
Why did Mark do it anyway? It's not like they had feelings for each other. THAT'S NOT IT!
Quickly Jackson put on sweatpants and a hoodie, not caring about his appearance. He couldn't stay here. Jackson couldn't stay in the same room as Mark.
When he left the apartment, only his car keys in one hand, he made the mistake to look back, seeing Mark still asleep, looking so peaceful and happy. That one sight tore his heart apart, still, he left.
It's not right. Abnormal. No matter if they switched or not.
Jackson always had that one person he always could come to if he had a problem. His best friend Namjoon. Still, normally they didn't show up at each other's home so early in the morning.
"Can you put on a shirt?"
"Sure." Namjoon was still half asleep and he quickly got himself a shirt.
When he came back Jackson was pacing in the room still full of mixed feelings after the whole thing.
"Okay, what's your excuse for annoying me so early."
Namjoon wanted to be angry at Jackson, for being woken up that early, but when he saw the others worried gaze and the state the alpha was in, he immediately got worried as well.
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, it's just..." Jackson was a mess not able to tell his friend about it.
"Me and Mark..."
Namjoon tried to encourage Jackson to go on.
"You what?"
"I can switch too and I slept with Mark, again," Jackson said the whole thing in one quick sentence, but the other alpha understood him anyway.
"Is that, that bad?"
"I...he..." Jackson quickly pulled his hoodie down, showing Namjoon the mark, at his scent gland.
The other eyes widened.
"Wow...you two...are mates now?"
"NO. I don't know..."
"Okay, calm down, Jackson." Namjoon offered the alpha a seat and they sat in silence, helping Jackson to calm down.
"Now tell me what happened."
"To be honest I have no clue. It was a heat of the moment thing." Jackson yelled frustrated burying his face in his hands.
"Calm down. And please be quiet!"
"Do you have someone over?"
Namjoon blushed immediately.
"It's just Jin, we met and..."
Under any other circumstance Jackson would have started to tease the other about it but now there was no time for that. Of course, he was happy when Namjoon found his mate. And there was the word again. Mate. Was Mark his mate? Jackson didn't mark the other alpha so they weren't right? It wasn't too late.
"...however, just tell me exactly what happened!?"
"Okay..."
"And leave out the dirty details, it's too early for that." Namjoon cut him off, letting Jackson tell him everything that happened yesterday.
"So you just left him at your apartment?"
Jackson knew that that was an asshole move, but he didn't see another chance.
"You know..." Namjoon stood up, thinking about everything carefully.
"Do you remember when Mark joined the company?"
The younger was careful with his question, not knowing how the other would react, but Jackson didn't answer. Namjoon decided to push him a little more.
"You were so excited to work with such a talented hyung. You told me so much about him since day one..."
"Stop it." Jackson's words were only a whisper, but his clenched fists were saying enough.
"Then you started to hate him all out of the sudden. You picked fights with him. You wanted to show that you're better than him."
"Stop it!" Jackson glared at the younger.
"When I remember clearly Mark was together with that omega girl at that time, so I wonder..."
"STOP IT"
Jackson jumped up, growling dangerously at the other.
"Shut up!" His voice wasn't that loud anymore, but Namjoon could see how much his statement had affected him.
"Jackson. You should think about your feelings."
"It's abnormal..."
"It's just love."
Jackson had always admired Namjoon for seeing things so simple.
"I don't love him."
"Did you love him?"
Jackson didn't answer. He doesn't love Mark! Definitely not!
"Go and talk to him. I'll go see if you woke Jin up. Just think about your feelings, Jackson. Don't make a mistake you will regret."
Mark couldn't believe it when he woke up to an empty bed. Jackson was gone without a note, leaving nothing. And it was his apartment.
He messed up. Mark messed up. He scared Jackson off. He is such a jerk, how could he mark the other alpha? Was he crazy?
And the worst thing was that at this moment, something was really clear for Mark. It was his fault that he lost the first person, he really was in love with.
He had never understood why Jackson had been nice at first and then started to be an asshole. So he had tried to hate the other alpha, he even had truly believed that he did.
But he always had been a little worried about the other alpha. When they had to work long.
And there was this feeling that Mark has had since a year ago. The time Jackson hasn't been at work because he was in his rut.
Mark knew that he could switch for some time. He had been to multiple doctors. It's normal for some alpha's they said. He only thought he wanted Jackson to feel good because of his omega behaviour.
But he knew that this wasn't true. He had fallen in love with Jackson Wang and he completely ruined every chance he ever had.
