After School | Markjinson

After learning hiding does nothing on Instagram, Jackson just simply blocked Mark and Jinyoung. He's barely left home and has barely talked to anyone except his friend, Eric, who angrily came to his apartment after at least 7 missed calls and of course Namjoon.

That was a week ago. 

On Christmas, he didn't leave bed. The presents he bought for both Mark and Jinyoung sat in the corner of the room, he glanced at them from time to time and felt pain; He missed his two lovers, but he still stayed away. 

For Mark and Jinyoung, Christmas just didn't feel right without Jackson. The presents they bought for him brought a wave of sadness anytime they looked at them. 

They might not have broken up but it feels like it.

Christmas passed. On the New Year, Mark and Jinyoung hung out with various friends at a small party. Jackson was forced out of the house by Namjoon and Eric, they hated seeing Jackson so down but there was nothing they could do as Jackson didn't tell them anything.

For now, just like the rest of his break, Jackson was alone in his bed. His phone rang twice today and he didn't bother glancing at it but then the sound of his door opening and one voice hit his ears instantly. 

"Jackson Wang, get out of your room and stop being an emo depressed bitch!" 

"Kim Namjoon, get the the fuck outta my house!" Jackson yelled back.

"Not happening until you tell me what's wrong!" Namjoon yelled back, "Plus I'm forcing your ass out of the house." Namjoon knocked on the door to Jackson's room, "Are you decent?"

"Yeah." Jackson simply replied, sitting up on his bed. Namjoon opened the door and stood in the door seal, "Nice Squirtle pajamas." 

"Thank you." 

"As I was saying, you're coming with me. We are going out, somewhere. Doesn't matter where." 

"What if I don't wanna?" Jackson more told than asked. 

"Then I'll call Shownu and he'll throw you into my car." Namjoon threatened. 

"Yeah you know just give me fifteen minutes."

The mall is where Namjoon ended up dragging Jackson, they sat in the food court eating. Countless people where swarming around them eating or rushing to various stores to exchange unwanted Christmas gifts. 

"So are you gonna tell me what's wrong with you? Did something happen with Mark and Jinyoung?" Namjoon asked, slurping up some noodles.

Jackson sighed and threw his fork down, "I haven't talked to them or seen them." 

"Why? Isn't that the reason you left Hong Kong early? You wanted to spend the holidays with them." 

Jackson closed his eyes and whispered, "Do you think...I'm a bad person because I'm dating my students? Do you think I'm using them? Do you think I'm twisted and disgusting?"

"Jackson, I'm the one who told you to do them." Namjoon whisper screamed. 

"I love them." Jackson sighed, "I love them so much." 

"Then why are you hurting them and yourself by staying away from them?" Namjoon asked sincerely, "Did you think about what you've done to them? They probably think you want to break up with them."

"But I don't want to hurt them, that's why I'm staying away-"

"You're hurting them more by staying away!" Namjoon said rather loudly, earning a few passing glares. "Where did you even get the idea that you are hurting them by loving them?"
