"Club" Mark repeated skeptically "As in loud music, smoky atmosphere, sweaty bodies rubbing against eachother in a confined space?...um no thanks" he crinkled his nose and dived onto his bed "I have a date with this" he said cuddling his pillow. 

"Who said you had a choice?" Jinyoung had his head in the closet when he spoke making his voice muffled "I only get to go if i bring you" He looked at the two shirts he had in both hands deciding what Mark should wear "Here" he threw a shirt and a pair of jeans at Mark and went over to pull him on his feet when he didn't get up.

 "Jnr.  pleeaase just leave me alone. o?" Mark whined.

Jinyoung crossed his arms over his chest "who took care of you last week when you caught that cold?..oh wait for it,   me!!" pointing at himself "Oh and who had to sit painfully through Frozen with you 21 times?...aha me again!!".

Mark sat on the bed and burried his face in his hand in frustration as he listened to Jinyoung pull the bestfriend card on him. "And who was there when Jack..." He couldn't finish his sentence with Mark screaming "Ok!! Ok!!...i so hate you right now" as he jumped up and began changing into the clothes Jinyoung picked out.

"I hate you more,love" Jinyoung grinned "You owe me and i'm collecting, fair game...and red does wonders you" he walked over straightening Mark's shirt here and there as Mark's Glare slowly turned into a grin.

Jackson sat in the VIP section of the club surrounded by his friends, he was being the mood maker of the group as usual , cracking jokes and playing the fool. He hadn't been out with the guys in a long time and he was going to ditch them again until Bambam told him who was joining the party. He knew Mark wasn't going to want to see him but there was no way in hell he was leaving him alone with these predators, not with the way Yugyeom and Jaebum openly flirted with Mark who was obviously enjoying the attention. Mark hadn't spoken to him in two days and he missed him, he missed him so much he felt he would go crazy. He had tried to make things right but he wouldn't even let him apologise, on the night after the incindent in his office he'd gone to take him home as he always did but had seen him leaving with Yugyeom, Mark knew he would come but left anyway. Every time he'd tried to talk to him, he wouldn't even look at him let alone stay and listen, when he'd try to hold his hand Mark had snatched it away and walked away, next thing he knows he's all touchy with Yugyeom. He hated Mark for making him jealous like that. He turned to see who Bambam was waving at and put on a bright smile which quickly faded and turned into an awkward some-what smile when his eyes met with that of a straight faced Mark, he sunk back into his seat as the guys battled over who was going to sit by Mark. Jinyoung sandwiched himself between Bambam and Jaebum who had sat back down at a loud cough from Youngjae when he had gotten up to meet Mark. Yugyeom dragged Mark to sit between him and Youngjae putting him face to face with Jackson. Laughter filled the table, everyone was having a good time except Jackson who was furious at the way Yugyeom was all over Mark, what hurt him more was the fact that Mark was obviously liking it, he downed his glass in one shot, one after the other. 

Mark stole glances at Jackson and liked the fact that he was getting a reaction from him, his face hurt too much from laughing at Yugyeom's not soo funny jokes. Yugyeom was a sweet boy who always treated him good and he hated leading him on but he loved the way Jackson got jealous that he couldn't help himself. It had started harmlessly by him indulging Yugyeom maybe a little too much in the presence of Jackson but now the poor boy was all over him, calling him every minute, even showing up at his house, he knew he had to draw the line soon and he felt sorry for using Yugyeom. Jackson had now had too many drinks and was becoming hysterical, he was dancing on the table and let out a silly giggle as a very drunk Bambam tried to get him off it, they both fell back into their seats and burst out laughing at how much it hurt. 

"I should take him home" Jinyoung was saying to Mark as he dragged Bambam to his feet "call me" he mouthed to Mark trying to hold Bambam steady as they left the club. Jaebum and Youngjae followed shortly practically having to  carry Yugyeom out with them because he wouldn't let go off Mark "Please take care of our Jackson" Jaebum winked at Mark. Jackson laughed hysterically slapping his knee "he...said...take care of me" poniting at a departing Jaebum, his laughter quickly died down as his face became serious " You" pointing at Mark " are really, really, reaally terrible to me" hitting his finger on the table at every word to emphasise his point. Mark looked back at Jackson with a concerned face feeling guilty as Jackson broke into a sob " Do you like Yugyeom?" Jackson said reaching for another bottle and accidentally knocking it over and spilling the contents into Mark's lap, he started to giggle, he was an emotional wreck, laughing and giggling one minute and crying the next. " aieshh...I'll clean it" he came around the table to sit by Mark spilling more drinks on him in the process. 

"I'll do it" Mark said removing Jackson's hand from his lap.

"No, no... i spilled it so i'll clean it" he said angrily "it's my mess so i'll fix it" he yelled "why won't you let me fix it?" he started to sob again "Just let me fix it...let me fix us...please" he said dropping his head in Marks lap and sobbing, Mark patted his back gently regretting his actions. Jackson lifted his head and smilled into Marks face " I'm going to kiss you " he announced giggling again, he shot up from his seat and yelled "I'm going to kiss him !!" pointing at Mark, he puckered his lips and began making smooching sounds as he leaned in toward Mark whose face turned red from the embarassment of everyone looking at them. Jackson stumbled and fell onto Mark's chest lips still puckered "I want to fall asleep here" he said quietly leaning into Mark and wrapping his arms around his waist. Mark made small bows at the people staring in apology " aigoo" he sighed, gently patting Jackson's head.

Jackson lay in his oversized bed surrounded by plush pillows slowly waking up to the smell of cooking soup and the low murmur of the television tuned to the weather forcast. Was his mum here? His house only smelled like food when his mum was in Korea. He kicked his expensive looking satin comforter off him and shuffled to his extremely large bathroom eyes still half closed, his head felt like someone was splitting it in half with an axe. He came out a few minutes later all washed up and still feeling terrible from that splitting headache, he threw on a pair of black lounge pants and a black v-neck tshirt. "Mommy!" he scurried down the long flight of stairs toward the kitchen " Mo..." he stopped in his tracks when he saw the all too familiar figure standing behind the stove. "Finally. I almost called 119. I thought you had fallen into a coma or something" Mark said turning away from the soup he was stirring " How do you feel?" he pulled back a chair at the dining table and gestured with his hand for Jackson to sit down.

"I feel like " Jackson sat down.

"Here. Drink. it'll help with your hangover"Mark handed him a bottle of medcine.

"Thank you..."he paused meeting Mark's eye " for everything" his face t
