A Hard Day

"Mark, we've got to get going if you don't want to miss the flight." Mark groaned. He couldn't find his key necklace. He thought it was in the back of his closet with the other hidden things. He wasn't going to leave without it. He needed that necklace. Mark rummaged through all the boxes in the closet, yet he still couldn't find it. Where could it be? There was no possible way that he threw it out. He wouldn't have. "Mark, we have to go now." No, he wasn't leaving. Not without that necklace. He threw clothes and boxes out of the closet. He should've had Mark clean out the closet when he had the chance, but there was no way he would let the younger see his secrets. Especially that necklace. There were some things that no one needed to see. Jackson walked into Mark's room. He was shocked at what he saw. There were things scattered all over the older's room. Jackson took a deep breath. He worked hard to clean this room, just to have his work squashed. Mark was still searching through the closet. He didn't hear Jackson come in.

"Where is it? Why isn't here?" Mark was getting desperate. That key was the only thing he had left. He wasn't going to leave it behind. Jackson sighed, walking toward Mark. What was the older looking for? He sat down next to Mark, looking into the closet. He knew Mark told him to never look inside the closet, but he was curious. 

"What are you looking for? We have to get going." Mark jerked to look at Jackson. He narrowed his eyes slightly. He pushed the younger away.

"Go away! I told you not to look in the closet." Mark pushed Jackson away again, but the younger didn't move away. "Go away! Go away! Leave me alone!" Mark couldn't let anyone look inside his closet. It held to many dark memories for him. Except that key. It was the only good thing that he had left.

"Mark, just tell me what you're looking for. I'll help you." Mark shook his head. He had never let anyone know about the key. Not even Peniel or Jinyoung. And he wasn't ready to let anyone else know about it.

"It's nothing. Jus take the bags to the car. I'll be out in a minute." Jackson nodded, standing up. He didn't know what Mark had been looking for, but it must've been super important. He left the older to search for whatever it was he was looking for.

-

Mark found the key in the very back of his closet. He gave a sigh of relief as he clasped the necklace around his neck. He gripped the key in one of his hands. It was the only think he had left of Youngjae. Before Mark became an artist he had dated a boy named Youngjae. They had been dating for almost a year before Youngjae decided he wanted be an actor. He gave Mark the key on their tenth month anniversary and the next month Youngjae broke the news. The younger broke up with him and became an actor. Mark had watched a lot of Youngjae's dramas and he was glad the younger had pursued his dream. He just wished Youngjae  hadn't of left him in the dust. He had kept the key because he wasn't ready to let go of Youngjae. That key was the reason he wanted to become a singer in the first place. He always wore it when he went overseas and during video shoots. But he would always throw it back in the closet with everything else from his past. He sighed, standing up from his spot on the floor. He could re-think his life choices later. He was going to be late.

Chapter 40: I LOVE THIS STORY AND IM TOO LATE FOR THIS asdfghjkl

Chapter 40: I know the deadline passed for this, but I want to gove my own input as well.

1. Markipooh! He caught my attention since I first started liking GOT7. He reminds me of me in so many ways and that just intrigues me.

2. I think so far this is ny favorite story. I love the whole setting and the gradual progression of manager and idol to boyfriends. I can't wait to see how their relationship develops in the sequel.

3. I've been listening to GOT7 all of 2016 after I became their fan in January. I'll have to say my favortie songs are She's A Monster and Forever Young. Although I love a lot of their other songs too. They are always on repeat.

4. I enjoyed reading this story because of the way you describe Mark and Jackson and how you paced everything to bring them together. Even though Mark seemed like a jerk at first, Jackson was able to get to know the real Mark hiding behind all those walls that he built and made him a much better person in the end.

Chapter 40: Great. I love q&a XD

1) My current bias is Mark but Jackson and slowly crawling to my bias list.

2) I love hearing you out and making you mine.

3) My fav song now is homerun, save me- bts, beautiful liar- vixx, back again- knk, and mostly monster- exo.

4) Why I like (mostly love) this story? Ofc because of the way you portrayed Markson characters in there. I love how sweet was Jackson and Mark's stuttering problem got better day by day. I love when this story is not complicated and the characters knew how to handle their problems. I love how you're not rush this story, you kept it slow from stranger to friends then lover. Tbh, when I reread this story I still squealing at the kiss part haha XD

Chapter 40: 1: Markie - Pooh^^ Just because of the cuteness he has from aegyo to his giggling self X3

2: Hearing you out - Making you mine. I just love the way how you set Mark's personality and Jackson's want of getting closer with Mark. A beautiful markson story for sure^^.

3: My favourite song in 2016 currently is Block B's Toy, but my favourite GOT7 song has to be magnetic, have you tried listening to it? It's AMAZING!

4: Why I like this story? I LOVE this story! I just love how the connection between the two is so cute. And the moments when Mark actually feels for Jackson (eg. Mark feeling sad for Jackson from having to leave his mother) and the moments when Jackson cares for him (eg. Comforting Mark while he was melting down about Youngjae). Those moments are the cutest. Overall, I love this story because of the connection and bond and how the story was built. A beautiful story <3

Chapter 40: 1. Got7 Bias: Mark & Jackson (it was because of Jackson that I am an Ahgase now, and it was because of Mark that makes me getting deeper and deeper into Got7, and it is because of Markson that makes me so in love with these two human beings and all seven of them).

2. Favorite Story of u: Hearing you out - Making you mine. It's just simply because of the story and the Markson u built in it, I love it.

3. Current Favorite kpop song of 2016: Homerun (so cute, and recently because of the Markson moment - chin touching - during performance of this song in FlyInUSA, I just can't keep myself from screaming). And I'm hoping/waiting for WOLO in their next album :))

4. Why did I like this story: how Jackson helps Mark to live better - overcome his past & fall in love - & because the story gets my curiosity.

Chapter 40: 1. I have two Bias Mark being my top followed by Youngjae. 2. I've read all your stories but A hard day is my favorite cause it was the first one i read and also the way you made Jackson is actually how i see him. 3. Oh god thats a hard one cause Got7 is my favorite group but Exo Monster just has stuck with me and might take my top song which would push error and beautiful liar out which have been tied forever now and Monster might break that tie. 4. It was written really well and I was able to imagine the story in my mind and it had me coming back wanting more. It also helps that i'm a huge Markson fan. Also having Mark have walls and having Jackson break them down was how I imagine it would happen, Jackson is such a caring person and Mark having walls up is like myself so i was able to relate to it so much and always wish I could have someone like Mark has Jackson. :)

Chapter 40: 1)My bias is Mark he's just so sweet and adorable

2)This one or making you mine although what's a kiss? Is a really good story as well

3)U-kiss stalker, Nu'est overcome, and Got7 magnetic have all been on repeat for the longest

4)I like how raleal it feels they way you walked us through the story how it took time to progress. I also like the characters personalities and how Jackson made Mark break down his walls at a very realistic pace. How its one of the very few pics that makes Mark the jerk

Chapter 40: I think it's pretty interesting too so I'll answer your questions^^

GOT7 bias: Wang Jia Er aka Jackson Wang. There's no way I'll tell you why because it would take me to write a Bible hahahahah :) but what I can say is: he's the light that bright in the middle of yhe darkness*_* I know is cheesy but I'm speaking about Jackson so... why not? Hahahahah

Favorite story... Hum, I had to go to your list of stories only to remember that "Hearing you out" and "Making you mine". Those were incredibly awesome, and cute. But Ilike this story too D: it's just the others were more like what I like to read hihi

Favorite kpop song right now? I don't know hahahahah I've got the chance to know MONSTA X.... and I can keep listening "Honestly" without getting bored. But I loved the new songs of BEAST. And all of GOT7's songs so... I can't choose!!!!!! -_- (I'm being honest)

Why? Hummm it's a good question. Maybe because the way their relationship make them change for the better, Mark the most, and because it's a Markson fic! (?) Okno I'm rambling right now hahahahah

So... I'll keep waiting for any update :)
See you! ^_
