Jaebeom were still light hearted when he finished his work for today. He actually finishes his work on time and today is the first day he can get home early on 5.30 pm. Jaebeom were looking at his phone when he bump into someone and make the person fall but luckily he managed to catch the person.

"Dont worry, its my fault too." Jaebeom

"Oh my god!! You are Lim Jaebeom right? I am so sorry Mr Lim. I did not see where I look." 

"Its fine. I need to go now." Jaebeom excuse himself.

The person bow to him and when he saw Jaebeom already gone he smirk.

"Nice meeting you Jaeebom shi."

Jaebeom went to his favourite coffee shop just around the corner from his office. Like usual he order then seated near the window his favourite spot.

He is waiting for his drink when hisphone rings.

Jaebeom smile when he saw the caller id

"Have you settle your issue with Jinyoung?" Mark

"Well I am an expert right?" Jaebeom

"Wow, your fiancee is so cute." Mark

"Shut up Mark." Jaebeom

"Are you blushing right now?" Mark teased Jaebeom

"No." Jaebeom said while he clear his throat

"You are blushing, you always make that voice whenever you blushing." Mark laugh.

"So will you finally tell me why you call me now?" Jaebeom

"Well, I actually want to ask you to go to Lotte Mall. I am so bored and I think want to find the new game that I saw a few days ago. Will you go with me Jaeeb?" Mark pleading with his cute voice.

"How do you know,," Jaebeom

"Well I am your,," Mark

"Friend." Jaebeom

"Good boy." Mark laugh then he calls off the phone call.

 

 

Jackson and Jinyoung just arrive at their destination after an hour long bickering where they should have gone too.

"You should have decided where you want to go before you ask me to accompany you! You idiot." Jinyoung

"I want to ask your opinion okay." Jackson

"So when I said my opinon you totally reject it. Why?" Jinyoung

"Your idea is so boring" Jackson

"So why did you even ask for my idea then?" Jinyoung said annoyingly.

"Dont get mad at me! I just ask okay, why did you get so work up huh? Does Mr Fiancee forget to kiss you or what?" Jackson

"The hell are you talking about?" Jinyoung

"Are you still a kiss ?" Jackson

"Yeah I am so what?" Jinyoung

"So I am still your first kiss?" Jackson

"Stop it please." Jinyoung

"I am so touched." Jackson

Jinyoung just give Jackson his infamous eye rolls and hit his arm

"Ouch!! Why you always so violent huh? Poor Jaebeom he will always get hit from you or do you think he will like it? Maybe he has a kink?" Jackson smirk

"Yah, why does your words become so ual when I did not even said anything or do anything, you are so ." Jinyoung

"Well that what she said." Jackson said while laughing and running away when Jinyoung already swing his arm to hit Jackson.

 

 

"Jaeeeb, dont you think I am crazy?" Mark

"Why?" Jaebeom

"I spent almost 100,000.00 won for games only." Mark

"Nah, its your hard earned money. You deserve it. You can buy and spend it with anything you want." Jaebeom

"Thanks again even when you look so out of order at that games shop." Mark laugh

Yes, Jaebeom with his suits wondering behind Mark look like Mark's bodyguard for a reason.

"Dont worry about it. I just accompany you not that I have to buy you like you always ask me too." Jaebeom

"Yah, that is one time when I really want that extra extra rare kind of figurine and I dont have enough money at that time. By the way I already want to pay you back but you are the one who refuse so its not my fault." Mark said while put his tounge out playfully while walking backward.

Jaebeom just laugh looking at his friend and he took Mark's arm when he saw someone running towards Mark.

"You okay?" Jaebeom ask while checking Mark

"I am so sorry." the strangers keep apologize.

"Why are you running inside the mall?" Jaebeom said after he is sure Mark is fine.

"Jaebeom?" Jinyoung come towards them while panting.

"Jinyoung? Why are you panting?" Jaebeom

Jinyoung still look at Jaebeom and Mark. The way Jaebeom held Mark waist closely to him make something stir inside Jinyoung heart.

"Jaebeom? Yo man! Its me, Jackson." Jackson sadi while take Jabeeom and hug him

"Jackson? Ouh sorry I did not recognize you. Well you look different. You look less rich that before." Jaebeom

"Hah, you are still funny man. Yes I look normal right? Well I am just going to the mall not any occasion so I just wear something simple." Jackson

"What are you guys doing here?" Jinyoung

Jinyoung felt a little relieved when Jackson separate the best friend from each other.

"Well, Jaeeb here accompany me to buy some game." Mark

"Some? Its look like you buy a lot." Jackson look at the shopping bags both from Jaebeom and Mark hand.

Mark just smile.

Jinyoung come closer to Jaebeom and try to make a space within Mark and Jaebeom.

"Well why are you running in the mall Jackson? I thought it was a teenager or what, turn out its a full grown man running around the mall. You are interesting Jackson." Jaebeom amuse with Jackson antic.

"Man, this is first time people said I am interested when I give them lots to handle. To answer your question, I was running away from your fiancee. He want to murder me." Jackson

Both Jaebeom and Mark chuckle while Jinyoung just glare at Jackson.

Jinyoung try to wrap his hand around Jaebeom arm but Jaebeom just flinch away while frowning at him.

"What?" Jaebeom

"Nothing." Jinyoung

Jinyoung actually feel sulky when Jaebeom flinch away from him but then after Jaebeom put the other shopping bag from his right hand to his left hand, Jaebeom hold his hand.

"What?" Jinyoung

"Give me your hand." Jabeeom

"Why?" Jinyoung

"Just give me your hand." Jaebeom

Jinyoung took Jaebeom's hand and after a few seconds there is someone yelling Jaebeom's name.

"Mr Jaebeom." Mrs Park

"Ahh, Mrs Park. Nice to meet you here." Jaebeom

"Well me too. How is your father?" Mrs Park

"He is fine Mrs Park, do come to our house and visits him when you are free. I am sure my ftaher will love it.'' Jaebeom

"You know after you reject my son, he is literally being sulky and since he heard about your engangement. He really dont want to meet you." Mrs Chan

"I am so sorry Mrs Park but I already told him that I dont love him." Jaebeom

"So you are totally in love with your fiancee?" Mrs Park teased

Jinyoung look at Jaebeom and waiting for his reply. He knows that Jaebeom told their guest at the party that their engangement is purely out of love but still Jinyoug want to see how Jaebeom react.

"Stop it Mrs Park. You know I would never do this if I am not in love." Jaebeom smile at Mrs Park and also give a squeeze at Jinyoung hands.

Jinyoung knows that this is all an act bit still he feel shy when he heard the word love come from Jaebeom's mouth. Jinyoung only look at their intertwine hand when Jaebeom keep talking to Mrs Park.

"Okay Jaebeom, I need to go now. You know how my husband is when he is hungry and frankly your fiancee is lucky having you as his future partner. I saw how you grew up and to tell you the truth I am also a little sad when your father rejected our proposals." Mrs Park

"That is such a big copliment coming from you Mrs Park. Do tell Hyungsik hyung to come and hang together with us." Jaebeom

"I dont think he can hahahahahaha, he is still cant cope you already engange with another man" Mrs Park said ans smile at both Jaebeom and JInyoung.

After Mrs Park left, Jaebeom quickly let go of Jinyoung hand. Jinyoung miss the warmness of Jaebeom's hand but he just follow the flows.

"Whoa who is she? She really adore you man." Jackson

Jinyoung just realize that there are not alone and see how awkward Mark stand beside Jackson.

"She is my father's childhood friend. She always be there with my father and their son Hyungsik hyung is a reliable hyung for me." Jaebeom

"One of your admirer I see." Jackson

Jaebeom just chuckle. While Jinyoung cant say what does he feel right now.He just saw someone praise his fiance and another guy totally sad after being rejected by Jaebeom. Jinyoung dont know whether he is mad or happy. He is a little bit angry seeing how he maybe have a new rival? But at the same time Jinyoung just realize how Jaebeom did not reject him. Jinyoung knows that Jaebeom just listening to his father but as Jinyoung observe Jaebeom. He is the kind of man who have his own opinion and Uncle Junho also told him that he will prioritize Jaebeom happiness than any other things. So frankly speaking Jaebeom did not reject him and JInyoung is happy even when the reasons is because  of Uncle Junho but he still here beside Jaebeom as his fiancee.

Jinyoung smile with that thought. He did not notice how Jaebeom, Mark and Jackson is looking at him.

"Yahh. Jinyoung? Earth to Jinyoung!!" Jackson

"Huh?" Jinyoung

"Why are you smiling like a creep?" Jackson

"No I am not." Jinyoung

"Yes you totally are. You look like a serial killer that found his prey.Its so scary." Jackson

Jinyoung kick Jackson legs.

"Yah Why did you do that? See Jaebeom? Your fiancee is barbarian.He do physical first then talk. I bet you will have a hard life with him, you are still just his fiancee go and save yourself! Dont say i did not warn you." Jackson said while dodging Jinyoung's arm that try to hit him.

Mark and Jaebeom just laugh.

"If I cut him off then who I should get married with?" Jaebeom chuckle

"Maybe me? We totally can get married." Mark jokes

Jaebeom laugh louder when he listen to Mark's word

"Euww no, bro..." Jaebeom still laughing

Jinyoung was totally freaked out when he listen to Mark's word. He then look the way Mark smile slowly faded when Jaebeom rejected his playful invitation, and Jinyoung knows what that face is, the face of a dejected guy but its only a few second when Mark also laughing with Jaebeom. He saw everything, when Mark's body become froze a little when he heard Jaebeom's word. Then Mark acts like nothing happen, Jinyoung become more curious.

"Yes you are right man, I am free for now but sorry man even though you are hot but I am not into man." Jackson said

"Well for the first time I am glad that Jinyoung is my fiiance, I dont think I can handle you Jackson shi." Jaebeom

"Dont be formal man, I hug you for 2 times now we are pratically best friend." Jackson

"Urmm sorry, I am his and only best friend." Mark said then hold Jaebeom left arm

Jabeom look at both Mark and Jackson simultaneously.

"You guys will be a perfect pair if you guys dating. A silent guy and an obnoxious man urgh like a a drama. But unfortunately Jackson is straigh while Mark here are happy with his girlfriend." Jaebeom

"Ouh you have girlfriend?" Jinyoung

"Ah, yeahh," Mark

"Where is she? We should meet." Jinyoung

"Dont bother, she is still a mystery even for me. We never meet yet because she is living far away from here." Jaebeom

Jinyoung look at how uncomfortable Mark looks when they talk about his girlfriend.

"Ehehehehe, one day I will introduce you guys." Mark

"Urm we need to go now, so till we meet again Jackson?" Jaebeom

"Where are you going?" JInyoung

"To Mark's house." Jaebeom

"Why?" Jinyoung

"Just, hanging out? I dont want to go back now and I also missed Milo." Jaebeom

"Who?'' Jinyoung

"My dog." Mark

"He actually adopted this cute dog just a month he moved from America. Talk about commintment" Jaebeom

"Stop Jaeeb." Mark playfullly hit Jaebeom

Jinyoung look at the pair friend and then to Jackson who was looking at him while furrowed his eyebrows. Jinyoung know that look, Jackson are asking what the hell is happening. Jinyoung just shrug and nod when Jaebeom and Mark says bye then left.

 

"The hell Jinyoung? Do you see that guys face? What his name again?" Jackson

"Mark, Jackson his name is Mark." Jackson

"Its the same guy we saw right? At the party? I thought I already drunk when I see his the love look from his eye that night and now whoah, does he have feeling with Jaebeom?" Jackson

"I dont know Jack, why do we even have this discussion?" Jinyoung tried to ignore the topic.

"Dont you see the way he cling towards Jaebeom and Jaebeom also look like fine when Mark do that. I thought he hate skinship when he flinch away everytime I hug him." Jackson

"Everyone flinch when you hug them." Jinyoung

"But fo you see his reaction? Like why does he look at Jaebeom like Jaebeom is the only guy in this world?" Jackson

"Does he? I think its normal right?" Jinyoung

"Normal my . They both look like a couple more than you and Jaebeom. Do you always see him?" Jackson

"No Jack, its like our third or fourth meet, Why?" Jinyoung

"Do they look like that everytime you meet them?" Jackson

"Yeah, practically speaking" Jinyoung

"No wonder you misunderstand things between them. They look like a married couple. Look the way Mark eyes smiling whenever he see Jaebeom smile." Jackson

"I dont know what to things anymore. Jaebeom already said he does not have feeling towards Mark so I will go with the flow." Jinyoung

"How about Mark? Have you ask him?" Jackson

Sometimes Jinyoung wonder how does his obnoxious friends also have a sharp eye and smart. Jinyoung never think about Marks feeling (well because its not his feeling so why bother) but the way Jackson word make him thinking more than when he should do when he do his quiz. Does Mark have feeling toward Jaebeom? He does not right? They are only have platonic relationship right? 

Then Jinyoung mind flashes with the way Mark smiling towards Jaebeom, the way he talk, the way his hand touches Jaebeom's even thought its subtle but yeah Jinyoung can see his pretty finger brushes Jaebeom hands. Everytime Jaebeom laugh out loud, Mark also laugh automatically. Like he is a robot that will laugh when Jaebeom laugh. The way Mark sofltly calm Jaebeom when the other day Jinyoung visit the office on lunch hour and see Mark with Jaebeom having lunch and then Jaebeom were freaked out when he thought Jae hyung lost his important file. Mark is the only one who brave enough to go to Jaebeom and pat his back while try to calm Jaebeom. But they only friends right?
