16. Roof
Love, Sweet LoveWord count: 202
_____________________________
When Mark felt like he needed some space after schedule's done, he'd usually find himself on the roof of their dorm building. The building wasn't tall enough to be considered a skyscraper, but it had a couple of floors, giving the roof a view of other Seoul buildings.
Mark didn't come to the roof necessarily to stare at other buildings but rather for the silence. No one else used to go there, therefore he was alone and could make summaries of what had happened during the day. He wasn't in need of control or anything, but it was a way for him to keep memories alive.
There would be a few times where Jackson would join him and as much as Mark loved being alone, he loved being with Jackson more. Jackson knew Mark needed the silence and didn't speak to him until Mark started the conversation. That made Mark love Jackson even more - he was so understanding and didn't push someone unless it was important.
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"For always understanding even when you don't understand."
"I have no idea what that means, but if it helps you then I don't think I need to understand."
