'He's beautiful'

-------

Jinyoung walked pass the lines of fruit stalls as he looked around, searching for the best looking bananas.

He was too distracted that he accidentally bumped onto someone. "Oh! I'm sorry" Jinyoung apologized.

"No no no, it's okay!" The man smiled as he lightly waved his hand signaling Jinyoung that there was no need to say sorry.

"I really am sorry" Jinyoung continued as if he didn't get the meaning of 'it's okay'.
"Gosh, did I hurt you?" He kept on worrying as he observed the other male; spotted a visible bump on his tummy.

"No I'm fine. I'm okay. You didn't hurt me. At all." The other stated, assuring Jinyoung that he was truly fine.

"Wait... I think I know you. You're new around here right?" Jinyoung confidently asked as he placed his right hand on the guy's shoulder.

"Um, yeah. We just moved in yesterday to a-"

"I know" Jinyoung cut his words. "We're neighbors! I live accross your house"

"Ah.. I was wondering how did you know all of that. So I guess you were there when we moved..?"

"Your car and the truck drove pass me. I was walking, on my way home from here and... I didn't mean to be a creep but I did observe you guys from my house. I am sorry for that."

The shorter guy nodded as an indication of him digesting the information he got on why this black haired man knew about him and his new house.

Enough nodding and processing, he looked at Jinyoung and stuck his hand out,"I'm Mark".

Jinyoung shook his hand and introduced himself.

Feeling like an old friend reunited, they clicked and started to explore the market as they joke around and sometimes ask about the pregnancy; how old was the pregnancy- turned out Jinyoung's was a month older than his new friend's-, has the baby started kicking yet, what gender was the baby, and many more. Mark's baby's gender was still unknown and Jinyoung told him that his husband gave an idea on making the children as friends or maybe someday as best buddies, greeted by a cute giggle from the other. He agreed anyway.

They spent a fun time together in the market and it was time for them to go home. As soon as they were back at the entrance, Jinyoung realized that Mark also walked to go to the market.

"Wait .. you walked here?" Jinyoung asked as he furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Mark.

"Oh yes! I found out about this market on the last time we checked the house and I really wanted to go here since yesterday because it's not that far from the house.. but I was too tired sooo..." he shrugged before he continued, "I went here by foot since Jackson already off to work and I thought this will also be good for my and the baby's health. Morning walk, you know" Mark explained and they walked side by side heading home, carrying their groceries.

Jinyoung was silent. Mark walked alone to the market while his husband, Jackson, gave him a ride when it was only 200 meters left to the market.

Jinyoung gulped and asked another question to keep the conversation going.

"Why didn't you ask your husband- err.. what was his name again?" Jinyoung had to put an act there, as if this was really the first time he heard the name Jackson from his wife, Mark.

"Jackson.." Mark nodded as he answered Jinyoung.

"Yes. Jackson. Why didn't you ask Jackson to take you with him, dropped you off at the market?" He continued.
