"Jinyoung," Jackson nudged the other's elbow, receiving a glare in response.

"What do you want?" He rolled his eyes.

Jackson ignored his behavior and continued, "Do you want to go on a picnic with me?"

Jinyoung frowned, "What, no."

Jackson pulled his hands together, "Please. It'll be lots of fun."

The other just shook his head, claiming that Jackson would "drag too much attention as an idol's boyfriend."

"What if I let you meet Jaebum?" Jinyoung froze in his seat, his cheeks barely turning a shade of pink.

He never showed it, but Jinyoung was an avid fan of Jaebum. He had every single song downloaded onto his phone and every album and poster stashed safely in his room.

"Wait really?" Jinyoung asked, and Jackson smirked, realizing that he hit the jackpot.

"Yeah."

Jinyoung sighed, his cheeks remaining pink, "Okay. Fine."

Mark opened the door to Jaebum's part of the apartment.

"Jaebum hyung?" He called, walking around the corner to see the boy snoring on the couch.

The boy sighed before pushing the idol off the sofa.

"OW!" Jaebum yelled, as his head hit the ground. He opened his eyes and glared at Mark.

"Seriously, Jackson?"

Mark grinned cheekily, "I was wondering what days you're free."

Jaebum raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go on a picnic."

The idol stared at the younger before doubling over in laughter, "I haven't been on a picnic since I was five!"

Mark rolled his eyes, starting to get annoyed, "Is that a yes or a no?"

"No!" Jaebum exclaimed, "It's childish. Plus, we'll be out in the open and fans will bother us."

"Listen," Mark reasoned, "Imagine this as the title of an article: 'Jackson and Jaebum strengthen their bond through a picnic' or something like that. That'd be great for our reputation!"

Jaebum chuckled, "Really, Jackson? Since when have you been into picnics?"

"Just thought it'd be a good idea. I'll treat you to soondubujiggae if you go~!"

Jaebum's eyes lit up. If there was one thing that the idol was sure of, it was that he loved soondubujiggae.

"You know what? Deal!" Jaebum held out a hand, and Mark shook it eagerly.

Playing cupid was kind of fun.

Mark skipped back into his room and called Jackson. After a few rings, the other picked up.

"Jackson?" Mark said.

"Yeah," the speaker of his phone let out.

"I succeeded! Let's have that picnic Saturday by the Han River. You know where, right?"

"Yeah, I got Jinyoung to agree by saying he could meet Jaebum. Apparently he's like in love with that guy." Jackson chuckled.

Mark laughed, "I've never actually met this Jinyoung guy. It'll be fun~!"

"It will definitely be, haha. Sometimes, I can't tell if he's annoyed 24/7 or if he's just like that."

Mark smirked, "He'd be perfect for Jaebum."

Jackson nodded eagerly, though Mark couldn't see it, "Yeah."
