[ON HOLD]Skaterboi (Markson)

*Jacksons POV
I sigh as I enter my first class. I was a bit upset that Mark once again skipped out in school. I wanted to see him even though I saw him last night.

It was nice that he chased after me after school. I felt better about the whole thing. And I know I just have to be patient and hold out still.

Jinyoung was staring at me so I looked back at him with a questioning look.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I ask as I start to pat it.

Jinyoung shakes his head. His face somewhat serious.

"Jackson. Are you dating anyone?" He suddenly asks.

My heart dropped. He didn't know, right?

I feel myself start to sweat under his stare. I swallow and was about to answer before the teacher walked in and started to get on with the lesson.

"We're not done with this conversation." Jinyoung whispered and looked over to the front.

Shit.
——
Lunch rolls around and I quickly made my escape and to the bathroom. Excited to see Mark but nervous about Jinyoung.

I open the squeaky door and look around. I see Mark leaning on the wall next to the entrance.

He looks at me and smiles. I close the door and jump in his arms. I hear him chuckling as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Did you miss me that much?" He asks as we pull away to look at each other.

I pouted. "Yes!"

He laughs and shakes his head slightly. Then he kisses me. I loved it. His lips were soft and there was slight hint of lemonade lingering.

We pull away and I felt relaxed.

But then Jinyoungs question came to my mind.

And then the thing that Mark mentioned about being watched yesterday.

"Jinyoung asked me if I was dating someone. Do you think that he was watching us yesterday?" I spoke up.

Mark was taken by surprise at my sudden comment.

"I don't know. But did you say anything to him?" He asks, holding on to my hands.

I shake my head.

"Not yet. He's probably going to ask me at lunch or later after school." I say.

"Say you're not." Mark says, tightening his grip.

"I can't lie to Jinyoung." I whisper.

Mark exhales and nods. He knew that Jinyoung and I share a special friendship. One were we tell each other everything and can never lie to the other.

"I don't want to do this. But knowing Jinyoung, he will be pushy about it. So tell him to come over to your place."

He pulls me to a hug again. His arms tightening around me.

"We'll tell him together." He whispers.
——
I nibble on my thumb as I pace back and forth in my room. Mark hasn't arrived yet and Jinyoung was on his way.

I sigh and sit on my bed. I didn't think that this would be happening. I mean I wanted it to happen but I wanted to tell all our friends not just one.

I jump as I hear the doorbell ring. I rush downstairs and to the door.

I let out a sigh of relief as I see Mark nibbling on his candy cigarette.

"Not here yet?" He asks as he enters. I shake my head and close the door behind him.

"He should be here soon."

He nods and walks to the couch.

"You don't look nervous." I comment as I see how calm he looks.

He laughs. "I'm scared shitless. I can just hide it well."

I nod. Of course he can.

I was about to walk away from the entrance when I hear a knock.

"He's here!" I whisper shout. Mark gets up quickly from the couch. His eyes wide and nervous.

I take a deep breath and open the door. A smile on my face as usual.

"Jinyoungie! Come in!" I say and pull him in.

He grunts at the force and stumble a bit.

He looks up at sees Mark standing there. "Mark hyung?"

The elder waves with smile. "Hey."

Jinyoung takes his shoes and coat off and walks a bit closer to Mark.

"Alright, what is this about?" He asks looking between us.

I bite my lip and look at my hands, fiddling with them.

"Jinyoung, let's have a seat." I say and motion to the couch.

Jinyoung doesn't say anything and seats on the sofa. Mark and I walk in front of him and sit on the coffee table.

I notice Marks leg bouncing up and down at a crazy speed. He really was nervous.

"Jinyoung. Earlier when you asked me about if I was dating someone." I started.

I look at Mark and he looks at me. Nodding for me to continue. That it was okay.

"I am." I say and look back at the boy sitting in front of me.

Jinyoung didn't seem surprised. But a smile evaded his lips and eyes shone with happiness.

"So I was right!" He exclaims.

"What?" Mark and I say.

He laughs and shakes his head. "I saw you guys yesterday. And I started to ask myself questions and then came to the conclusion that you two were dating."

I look at him shocked.

"So you knew!?" I exclaim getting up.

He laughs and nods.

Mark lets out a breath.

"But why haven't you said anything yet? How long has this been going on?" Jinyoung asks looking at us.

"5 months." Mark spoke.

Jinyoungs eyes widen. "5 months?! And you've kept it for this long Jackson?!"

I put my hands up in defense about to say something until Mark interjected.

"I asked him to keep it a secret."

Jinyoung looks at him.

"I wasn't ready to let anyone know. I'm still not ready. I only made this exception because I know you'll push Jackson to his limit."

Jinyoung chuckles.

"True."

Mark smiles softly. "I do hope you understand and keep this whole thing a secret."

Jinyoung nods with a smile.

"Of course. Your secret is safe with me."

1 down. 4 more to go.
