Something was up. Mark had entered their room after a short visit with Yugyeom to Yugyeom's parents' house. He'd been gone for only three days, still there was something different. He couldn't put his finger on what.
Nothing looked different, everything was the same as when he left. The bed covers where the same as before, the hoodie he left on the headrest is still there. That's when he noticed the tall white candle on the window sill. It was burning so Jackson couldn't be far away. First now he noticed the sweet vanilla scent the candle filled the room with. That was the difference.
"You like the candle?"
Mark looked towards the doorway where Jackson was standing, a sweet smile dancing on his lips.
"I do. How come it's there?"
"I thought the smell was fitting for our room."
"It is, we should definitely keep it."
Jackson nodded. "You should blow it out though, 'cause I'm bringing you out tonight."
"Thank you!", Mark cheered and did as he was told.
"Anything for you, babe."
Mark kissed Jackson's nose. "Love you."
"You know I love you too."
