Mark never really wanted to learn how to drive. He found it useless for a person like him who would always prefer the city life rather than the country life and therefore use more public transport as a way to get around, which in many cases was better both for nature and for himself as in public transport working better than driving a car himself. Nonetheless, he had tried to drive back home with his dad. He had almost ran over a bird and decided not to sit behind the steering wheel again.
How wrong he had been. Jackson, who was fully capable of driving wanted Mark to try his car. In all serious matters. Mark thought he had been joking but when Jackson raised an eyebrow when Mark burst out laughing at the request, Mark realized he wasn't joking at all.
"Don't be so nervous, you said you drove a car before."
"Yeah, I drove about two metres then realized driving wasn't for me."
Jackson laughed. "Sounds like you were overreacting to me."
"I was not overreacting! I almost drove over a bird!"
"Markie, calm down, that happens to everyone."
"Why drive when there's public transport?"
"It can be easier."
"Nope. Here in Seoul it's easier to get by either by foot, bike or by any type of vehicle that is not a car."
"Whatever you say darling, whatever you say. Just try going forward."
Mark did as he was told but stopped immediately as the car jumped forward.
"You know what? Let's forget this all happened and we can go home and watch some TV. Sounds good, right?"
"You're unbelieveable.", Jackson laughed out. "I'm glad you at least tried."
