Lost Souls {hiatus}

5. Soulmates: part 2

Third Person POV

Mark and Yoona walked to school together, laughing about the stupidest things that seemed funny to them at the moment. They entered the school after a few minutes of walking, Mark turned to Yoona "if you want I could introduce you to the rest of my friends at lunch" he scratched the back of his neck, looking sheepish. Yoona laughed "hopefully they don't run into a wall again" she smiled at the memory. "hopefully that won't happen again" he joked.

After their classes, Yoona and Mark walked into the Cafeteria. Someone waved at them from a table with four other people sitting there. They walked over to them and sat down "guys this is Yoona, the girl I was telling you about" Mark smiled at her, in the background one could hear a faint "aww cute" that sounded as if it came from Bambam, he was looking at them expectantly. They ignored him, still smiling at each other.

"Yoona this is Jaebum, Jinyoung, Bambam, Yugyeom and... You already met..Jackson" Mark pointed at everyone when he said their names and when he got to Jackson he paused and said his name somewhat sourly as if he had just eaten a lemon.

Jackson stood up, his eyes held hurt and betrayal "dude why are you being like this?" he sharply inhaled "I did nothing wrong" his tone was getting desperate. Mark stepped forward "I have a right to be angry, Jackson" he spat "you're going to ruin everything if you stay on this path, I told you...I told it was her!"

"I can't help it, it's not like I chose this!" Jackson choked out. "Do you think I would really do this if I had any say? You are my best friend Mark!"
"Don't. I don't need your excuses right now" Mark said, his voice getting softer.

"you have no rights over her Mark! Don't act as if you own her all of a sudden!" Jackson snapped at Mark "just because of what you did for me all those years ago when you met me, doesn't mean you can control me or my feelings" Jackson continued, his voice getting louder. Most of the cafeteria was looking at them now. "I have more rights then you'll ever have," Mark said quietly, his voice sharp.

Yoona stood up "I may not understand what is going on but you both need to calm down and talk this out rationally right now" her voice held a certain commanding tone that made them both snap out of their state.

"I would have been better off if I never accepted your help in the first place," Jackson growled. "I wish you just left me alone"

"So it's me again, why you gotta be like this Jackson?" he sighed "forget it" Mark stormed out of the school. Yoona picked up her bag and said a quiet "nice to meet you" to the rest of the group, who just sat there looking shocked.

Jackson POV

I watched as Yoona ran after Mark, I wish it was me she was chasing after. I sighed, sitting down "its always going to be Mark" I mumbled. Jinyoung spoke up "What the hell happened between you two? A few days ago you guys were inseparable" I scoffed "things change...I guess"

"Is it because of that girl... Yoona?" Bambam questioned. I just nodded my head, looking down at the ground.
"Will you tell us what happened between you and Mark?" Jaebum asked,

I took a deep breath before explaining to them "when Mark first introduced me to Yoona, I touched her hand... And I saw it"
Jaebum gasped "really? You- wow" I just nodded again. Jaebum asked, "do you see it all the time now?"
I shook my head, and choked out a small broken "no"

Jaebum sighed sadly "that means her heart belongs to someone else"

I could only think of one person, "Mark"

Bambam looked at me with empathy "even though I don't fully understand what's going on, I want you to know, Jackson, that I know exactly how you feel, and I'm here for you whenever you need." Bambam sounded completely different from his usual self. Yugyeom looked at Bambam in astonishment. "Wait really? You found your soulmate!? W-Who?" He exclaimed jumping out of his seat a little, he was clearly excited, Bambam just looked at him sadly "that's a story for a different time" he explained. Lightly brushing off Yugyeom's questions.
I felt as though something was off about what Bambam said. The way he looked at me just now, seemed similar to the way I look at Yoona. But I won't dwell on that. I'm just worked up.
