A Hard Day

"Sorry sir, but we're closed for the day." Namjoon called out to a man standing in the middle of the open door. He was getting ready to cose the doors and clock out.

"Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm looking for my friend. We came in together and he just disappered." That's strange. He hadn't seen Jackson since he asked him to refill the Butter Wax display, but even that hadn't been filled. Maybe they had gotten mixed up together. Though that didn't sound at all like Jackson. He had never been known as the type to mess around with the customers during work hours.

"Hm. Well you can stay around here until he shows up. But if you don't mind, could you close those doors." The man nodded. He slid the stoppers back into their up right postions and closed the doors. Namjoon clocked out of his regiester and took off his string tag. "Jackon!" Namjoon called out for his friend. He honestly should have kept a better eye on his co-worker. 

"I'm coming!" Jackson called out to Namjoon. He wasn't ready to tell the younger that he wouldn't be working here anymore. They worked so hard to be ble to get a job at the same place during the same time. He sighed walking a head of Mark. It was surprising for him to be calling his favorite idol by his actual first name, but that what the older wanted. Once the two entered the shop floor a man with dark haired, dressed smiliarly to Mark, shouted out.

"Mark! There you are! Where have you been? Do you know what Jinyoung would have done to me if I didn't get you back safely. I would be six feet under. Do you ever take others feelings into consideration. I had a heart attack. Aish! Take care of your friends before you go wandering off." Mark chuckled softly.

"Stop worrying so much. I'm fine. I was just taking care of a few things." Mark slyly looked over at Jackson before turning back to Peniel. Jackson coughed at the short look he was given. As if he wasn't embarrased enough by the older. 

"I can see that. Can we go now. Sungjae and I have a date." Mark smirked at the older. He was always trying to rush Mark when they were handing out if Sungjae was involved.

"It's fine. You go ahead. I'll head back later. Go spend time with Sungjae." Peniel didn't hesitate to take that oppurtunity.

"Really? Are you sure? I mean I can just," Mark shook his head.

"Just go." Peniel noddde, heading to the door.

"I'll see you later, Mark. Let Jinyoung know." Mark waved at the older as he ran out the door. He truely loved Sungjae more than anything. Mark turned to Jackson. The younger was currently staring at the other male behind the counter. He wondered what was going on there. By the way Jackson acted it looked as if the younger was single but maybe he wasn't. That was a little sadening. Mark was known for messing with the single managers and making them feel uncomfortable. He was hoping that Jackson would be the same way.

"Jackson come clock out. We have to lock up soon." The boy behind the counter looked up at them. He smiled slightly before looking back at the register in front of him. Jackson sighed. He really really didn't want to tell Namjoon that he wouldn't be working with him anymore.

"You better tell him now instead of later." Mark mumbled. Jackson looked at the older. He frowned as Mark flicked his head in Namjoon's direction. "It's better that way." The younger sighed, going to the counter to finish business.

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! ^_
