It had been a week since the two pairs had not met each other. Jinyoung and Jackson were only able to contact each other after school. Their plan to meet in the middle of night failed since Mark’s parent put him on the third floor and right beside their room. Jackson once tried to visit his love, but because of his fear of height, he failed after only ten steps up the rickety ladder he had found.

“Jinyoung, come out son. Mark is waiting outside.”

Jinyoung opened the door lazily since it was yet another hard day for him.

“I’m going first, Mama.” Jinyoung said before pressing the elevator  button to go to the first floor. Once he reached at his destined floor, he saw Mark sitting inside the car, waiting for him like days before.

“Morning,” Mark greeted him, and the younger just mumbled through his lips as he sat in the passenger seat. Somehow Mark knew Jinyoung would not answer him well that morning.

Jinyoung just looked outside the window, oblivious to the ride and Mark could not help but wonder whether Jinyoung really hated the thought about getting married to him.

“Do you really hate the idea of both of us getting married to the point that you despise me now?” Mark joked, and that received the younger's attention.

“Hyung… I’m not despising you. It is just that I miss Jackson so much. We never left each other's side up until last week.” Jinyoung pouted.

“Don’t worry. I promised Jackson to let him drive my favourite car this evening to take you out, and I myself will go on a date with Bambam after his piano class,” Mark patted Jinyoung's head and smiled reassuringly.

“Really? Hyung!” Jinyoung jumped on his seat in happiness.

“Park Jinyoung, I’m driving and please stop holding onto my arms,” Mark smiled as he scolded the younger, causing the lovable wrinkly smile to form again.

Mark arrived at Jinyoung’s school and he spotted Jackson with his bodyguards standing near the gate.

“Baby…” Jackson called out but the bodyguard dragged him back when he wanted to approach Jinyoung.

“I missed you,” Jinyoung said and Mark found them to be so cute.

“Here,” Mark winked at Jackson while throwing the car key. The younger caught it easily and shared a smile with the American before pushing his bodyguards slightly back in irritation when they tried blocking him from catching it.

"Have fun. I'll see you later," Mark whispered to Jinyoung, before flagging down a taxi and going off to work.

Jinyoung couldn't focus inside his class, since the only thing mattered to him was Jackson Wang.

“Park Jinyoung?” The teacher called and Jinyoung was surprised to see Jackson standing at the door. “Jackson said you need to go to the principal's office.”

Jinyoung stood up, worried. However when Jackson threw him a cheeky wink, he smiled in relief and excitement, quickly running out of the class.

Jackson and Jinyoung ran out from the school through a back entrance that had been unguarded and fortunately discovered by the older boy. They were laughing as they drove away.

“How did you escape from your bodyguards?” Jinyoung asked.

“Thanks to my athletic body, I was able to climb out the bathroom window by the ceiling.” Jackson smiled proudly but Jinyoung frowned.

“Babe, be careful. Don’t do anything dangerous.” Jinyoung held Jackson's hand and Jackson smiled. He always loved this side of Jinyoung.

“Sorry, I won’t do that again," Jackson lifted the younger's hand a kissed the knuckles twice. "So, today what are we going to go? Where does my cute lover want to go?” Jackson turned to look at Jinyoung questioningly and with loving eyes.

“I’m going to do anything as long as I’m with you," Jinyoung replied back, feeling warmth spread in his body at Jackson's contact and his soft romantic side that was uncommon. He supposed the distance really made Jackson crave for him, and that made him smile and want to make Jackson feel at his best.

In a while, Jackson brought Jinyoung to the most unexpected place in the cold weather.

“Are you sure about hiking, babe?” Jinyoung asked, making an unsure face with a sigh.

“You know no one will be around, and that means the whole place will be only with me and you," Jackson said in a seducing voice.

Jinyoung ended up following his lover and it was true that no one was doing hiking in this cold weather.

“Baby, come here,” Jackson said when Jinyoung was walking right in front of him.

“What do you want to do?” Jinyoung complained, shivering. Yet still he walked toward's Jackson like a moth to flame.

Jackson turned Jinyoung around and put his hands around Jinyoung's waist. He started pushing Jinyoung slightly so that the younger started walking, while he put his head on Jinyoung's shoulder.

“This is how we should hike a hill together,”Jackson whispered hotly and Jinyoung giggled.

“Now I feel like it's worth hiking if it is like this,” Jinyoung turned his face sideways and kissed Jackson's cheeks.

“I miss you so much all the time,” Jackson said sadly, and Jinyoung kissed him again to try and show that he felt the same.

Jinyoung wanted to stay this close to Jackson forever. It felt safe and exciting like the first day he and Jackson met.

Mark was back from his work just as Bambam had finished his class. Mark was waiting with a cab right in front of Bambam's Piano school. Bambam was guarded 24/7 just like Jackson, to the older's dismay. Maybe their parents got alerted about Jackson running away and using Mark's car.

“Hyung, I’m going to run right inside the cab, so make sure the driver is ready to step on the accelerator!” Bambam sent the message and soon Mark replied with a ‘count till three’.

Bambam bowed at the bodyguard who was beside him and ran with full speed into the cab. They were laughing when the bodyguard started to chase them.

“Sir, please take us to a crowded area,” Mark smirked as Bambam giggled beside him.

A few minutes later, both of them were right in front of Dongdaemun.
