Chapter 11

“Hey Mark!” Peniel greeted his friend before inviting him to take a seat on the couch located at the corner of his small office.

“How the preparation going on?” Mark questioned after side hugging his friend and settle down on the couch, can’t wait to see the result.

“Good, I already faxed most of the evidences over to my best friend, Hyunsik who is a police officer and he had agreed on helping us with this case. I will just need to show you these before submitting the last bit of details over to him.” Peniel replied, passing over the reports that he had readied for the young president.

Mark couldn’t help but to mentally curses as he scan through the reports, seeing all the digits being manipulated.

“Just like you expected, the ones that you found are the original reports that wasn’t submitted, instead these are the reports that were submitted. The digits are manipulated to be higher than the original costing for each project which explained why Im Jaebum seems to have extra cash banked into his account after almost every project, he has been embezzling from the company fund.” Peniel added before seeing a very unreadable expression appeared on Mark’s face.

“Did you check up on Park Jinyoung?” Mark questioned, wondering if his suspicion on Jackson’s ex was spot on, after all they are lovers so there is a possibility he is involved too.

“Yes, he indeed has been the one helping Jaebum with the deals including changing the digits in these reports.” Peniel confirmed his guess before pulling out the folder that is full of all the dirt he got on Park Jinyoung.

“Good, let’s proceed as planned then. We already got more than enough evidences.” Mark decided, earning a sharp nod from Peniel, gathering back all the reports into a folder.

“Well, I got to go. See you later.” Mark exclaimed after checking his wristwatch, remembering that he will be joining his parents for lunch back at the mansion.

They said their goodbyes before Mark drove off to the Tuan’s mansion, in his head already planning on how to break the news to his parents especially his Pa.

When he arrived at the mansion, Mrs Tuan had greeted her son with a big hug at the door before leading Mark over to her husband whose was in the living room, busy reading the newspaper.

“Pa.” Mark greeted, the older Tuan look up and smiles before signaling his oldest for a hug which his son gladly accepts.

While chatting away with his Pa, Ma had announced that food was readied and the family of three proceed to have their lunch, catching up with each other on how their days has been so far.

It was soon time for desserts, Mark’s favourite time but he decided it’s the appropriate time to break the news to his parents.

“I actually has something to tell you, Pa.” Mark started, putting down his half eaten pudding with a serious expression.

“What is it, Yi En?” Mr Tuan questioned, while Mrs Tuan wondered what had gotten her oldest to be this serious.

Mark took a deep breath before breaking the news about their vice president and design department chief slowly but clearly, making sure that his parents knows his check through everything thoroughly and it wasn’t some silly assumptions or accusation.

“How dare them?” Mrs Tuan exclaimed in displeased after hearing the full story from Mark, shaking her head at how somebody like them is working for her husband.

Meanwhile Mr Tuan just nodded, not really shocked by the news which of course surprised his son since he was expecting his Pa to at least flipped out at the news.

“Pa, did you already expected this?” Mark questioned when he realized that it was his Pa’s intention for calling him back, to dig out on what is going on behind his back.

“Of course, you never dissapoint me, Yi En. Still as genius as ever.” Mr Tuan replied, smiling at his son who by now was annoyed that he gotten tricked by his father.

Mrs Tuan couldn’t help but to smile seeing the pouting Mark, feeling blessed to have this wonderful son of hers.

“Don’t sulk. I only did what the best for us, after all your Ma and Ka Yee has been missing you too much for the past six years.” Mr Tuan said, knowing clearly Mark feel tricked by him but it was the truth, he wasn’t well to continue taking on the president role while his wife and his youngest has been missing his oldest for far too long.

Mark looked at his nodding Ma, instantly feeling sorry for leaving his parents for way too long as he got up to hug his parents.

“I know and I’m glad to be back,” Mark exclaimed before pulling his parents into a group hug, feeling so loved right now.

“So do you have a way to deal with them?” Mrs Tuan questioned after pulling away from the hug, curious to what will be those people fate with her son in charge.

With Mark smirking deviously at them, his parents was more than sure that their son has something up his sleeves.

 

*************************************

 

Jackson was busy joking with Youngjae, making their way tothe resort dining hall for lunch like instructed earlier by Jaebum, starving after playing at the beach for the last few hours.

They ended up bumping into their grumpy chief, who is also heading towards the same dining hall as them.

“What is up with him, so grumpy?” Youngjae questioned, whispering over to Jackson while eyeing Jinyoung who was walking beside them with his earpiece on, annoyance clear on his face.

Jackson just shrugged his shoulder, acting like as if he didn’t know but in actual fact he was sure that Jinyoung was pissed because his new boyfriend didn’t pick him to roomed with but instead picked their office boy.

Without him realizing, Henry had spotted him and was heading his way, smiling at him which of course gained, both Jinyoung and Youngjae’s attention.

Henry greeted him with a bow which he awkwardly returned due to the two pairs of eyes watching them, hoping his assistance manager didn’t open his mouth and said that word but nope, it won’t happen no matter how hard he hoped.
.
“Presi..” Henry’s words got cut as he quickly covered the other mouth, earning a surprise look from Youngjae while Henry stares at him lost.

“I need to ask him something, I will see you at the table.” Jackson exclaimed before dragging Henry away from his best friend and ex.

Of course the duo that was left behind couldn’t help but to feel that Jackson is acting totally weird today, like as if he is hiding something.

“I’m so sorry, Hen.” Jackson apologized, the moment they were out of the duo’s sight, feeling bad for his lost assistance manager.

“It’s fine, I probably shouldn’t have try saying that word in front of them.” Henry exclaimed, smiling sheepishly when he finally remembered at how Jackson didn’t like being called president in public eyes.

Jackson just nodded, feeling bad that his staffs as to keep his identity a secret just because he didn’t like how the attention will be on him if they knows he owned this five stars resort.

“Actually, Mi ge asked me to look for you. He tried calling your number but couldn’t get through.” Henry informed, remembering why he was looking for Jackson in the first place.

“My phone died earlier and I didn’t bring any charger. Why is he looking for me?” Jackson explained, sighing at his own stupidity for forgetting his precious charger out of all things.

“He actually wanted to know if you want the head chef to prepared anything specially for you since mostly prepared for the buffet is seafood, we can deliver it to your table.” Henry questioned, remembering the important question due to their president’s allergy.

“I will be fine as long as I avoid the prawns and just call my room if he needs to talk to me later.” Jackson exclaimed, didn’t want to troubled his already busy head chef.

“Alright, sir, I will informed him.” Henry nodded, smiling at his boss before disappearing like magic making Jackson chuckled, wondering from where did the other learn those ninja skills of his.

As Jackson got closer to the dining hall, he overheard  a very familiar voice almost shouting coming from the seating area not far from the hall entrance.

Out of curiosity, he hides himself behind a pillar before peeking at what seems like a heated argument between his ex and his current boyfriend.

“Babe, why you acting like this? It isn’t you to start shouting like that.” Jaebum calmly exclaimed, grabbing hold of Jinyoung’s hands before massaging it to calm the other down.

“Why did your ignored me for the past few days? Do you know I almost go crazy waiting for you to return my calls?” Jinyoung hissed in anger, pulling his hands out of Jaebum’s hold.

He had enough, he needs to know why Jaebum is acting weirdly or he might just go bonkers at this rate.

“Babe, I was busy with work. I’m sorry, it was only for a few days. I’m all yours now.” Jaebum exclaimed, still trying to keep his cool because it was true, he did ignore Jinyoung so that he can focus on his Bambam.

“Work? I’m busy too, Why can’t you even text me?” Jinyoung snorted, annoyed by the fact that Jaebum used work as an excuse when they both know that he was the one working his off to make sure nobody caught on with what they are doing.

“Can you stop it already? What more do you want? Stop whining like a child.” Jaebum barked at him, losing his cool as he runs his hand through his hair.

Jinyoung was stunned, he didn’t expect the other to start barking at him like a crazy dog.

“Enough, Park Jinyoung. I have no time for your whines and complaints. Talk to me once you are sane again.” Jaebum hissed, staring at Jinyoung before walking away from the speechless chief.

Jackson sighed, witnessing that scene didn’t make him feel good at the least but he knows Jinyoung needs to be taught a lesson so that he won’t go around hurting others without a care again.

He continues his way into the dining hall, joining Youngjae and Bambam who was seated at a four seater table, eating and chatting away.

After their delicious lunch, the desk neighbours decided to head back to their room to rest before attending the dinner party later, their vice president had announced about it before everybody left the dining hall.

While chilling on Jackson’s bed, chatting about random stuffs, the duo didn’t failed to noticed their chief who was in a dazed while seated on his own bed, still having his earpiece on like before.

They shared a worried look, questioning each other about Jinyoung with their eyes.

Their silent conversation was disturbed by the ringing of their room’s phone, Youngjae answered it before passing it over to Jackson.

“Yes.” Jackson answered while checking if any of his roommates was listening in on him but luckily they didn’t.

“About the party later, do you need me to be there, sir?” Zhoumi questioned after greeting his boss back, wondering if the younger might need him tonight.

“It’s fine, you should rest.” Jackson replied, whispering when he noticed Youngjae looking at him weirdly.

With a simple ‘alright’ their call ended but unfortunately it wasn’t really the end as Zhoumi keeps calling in almost hourly to discuss about the party especially with the fact that the Tuans is joining them, everything needs to be perfect.

As the phone rang for the fifth time for the last four hours, Jinyoung picked up the call that has been annoying him for the past hours.

“Can you stop calling? What do you want?” The annoyed chief barked into the phone causing Jackson to quickly snatch it from his ex and glared at the messed up Jinyoung.

“I’m sorry.” Jackson apologized into the phone before walking away to the balcony, his roommates curious eyes watching him.

“No, sir. I should be the one apologizing, I must have gotten your friend annoyed.” Zhoumi apologized, feeling bad for disturbing the said person peace.

“Don’t worry about it, he is just having a bad day.” Jackson exclaimed, sighing at how crazy looking his ex looked like right now.

“I will make sure this will be my last call, I’m wondering if you want us to serve Mr and Mrs Tuan their favourites for today’s event.” Zhoumi questioned, the last thing on his check list before preparation is totally complete for tonight’s event.

“Yes, please. It’s been awhile since their last visit here. Also can you please give me a call once they arrived, I will like to welcome them.” Jackson replied, smiling at the thought of seeing Pa and Ma again tonight.

“Of course, sir. I will contact you immediately once they are on their way.” Zhoumi exclaimed, jotting down the reminder on a memo pad.

Their call finally ended before he return inside taking a seat beside Youngjae who is  just surfing through the channels out of boredom.

“Who is that?” Youngjae finally questioned, couldn’t stand his curiosity since that voice definitely didn’t sounded like Mark.

“Just a friend.” Jackson lied, praying hard that Youngjae won’t probed in for more answers.

“You are weird today, don’t tell me you are this resort mysterious owner or something?” Youngjae teased, eyeing the older suspiciously which got Jackson flustered instantly.

“Just kidding!” Youngjae exclaimed, laughing at Jackson’s face turning red at his spot on joke.

Without the best friends realizing, Jinyoung who seems to be playing games on his phone was indeed listening in on their conversation.

“Owner?” Jinyoung questioned in his head when suddenly a familiar image flashed in his mind.

Jinyoung just remember where did he saw this resort logo before, it was on an envelope that had stick out in between the pile of documents on Jackson’s desk back when he went into their shared study secretly to steals the older’s proposal while he was asleep..

“It can’t be, right?” Jinyoung exclaimed in his head, finding the idea itself it’s absurd because there’s no way somebody like him can own this fabulous resort.

*************************************

Jackson takes a look into the bathroom mirror once more, making sure he looked fine and decent for the party.

It really amazed him at how good he look in blue actually since he usually stick to his usual black,white and grey colour scheme for his style.

His wearing a long sleeved metallic blue button up  shirt, layered with a baby blue jacket and pair up with a navy blue formal pants.

With a satisfied smile, Jackson exited their shared bathroom and approached the younger who’s already taken aback by his transformation.

“Wow, the ladies’s eyes will be busy tonight.” Youngjae teased which earned him a smack at the back from the embarrassed Jackson.

Youngjae chuckled, sticking his tongue out at the older before escaping to the bathroom, probably to change into his own outfit for the party.

While styling his hair, Jackson realized that his ex was missing from their shared room, making him wondered where did Jinyoung go.

His thoughts was distracted by the phone ringing, causing him to quickly pick it up.

“Yes.” Jackson answered, expecting it to be Zhoumi since the party it’s gonna be starting soon and the Tuan family are probably reaching soon.

“Sir, they already arrived about ten minutes ago. They are currently resting in the usual suite, they said that they will meet you at the hall later.” Zhoumi informed, relaying Mr Tuan’s message to his president.

“I see, thanks Ge.” Jackson thanked, feeling a bit bump about not being able to welcome them but his sure Pa needed some rest after that long ride here.

Right on cue as he put down the phone, Youngjae appeared out of the bathroom, looking quite charming in a simple white tee, black leather jacket and dark blue jeans.

“Jae, you look awesome.” Jackson commented, giving the younger two thumbs up which cause Youngjae to blush a bit since he never heard that kind of praises about him before.

Jackson smile, realizing how cute his best friend could be before they both do a final check on their hairs.

“Where is Mr Perfect?” Jackson questioned, as they were heading out of their room.

“He left while you were changing, he already got readied while you were sleeping just now.” Youngjae replied as they walked towards the lift.

Jackson nodded, remembering how he had fallen asleep while watching some sitcom with Youngjae earlier and he had only waken up about five minutes before changing which explained why he wasn’t aware of his ex presence at that time.

As they reached the event hall where the party is taking place, they noticed that most seats are still empty and only their department table had Bambam and Jinyoung awkwardly sitting together in silence.

Seeing how the silence seems to be a torture from Bambam’s expression, they quickly headed for the table and join the poor office boy.

They chatted away, trying to filled up the silence while Jinyoung just fiddled around with his phone, couldn’t be any less interested in their conversation.

Luckily, more staffs started coming in and soon almost all of the tables for different departments are filled up with their respective staffs which include the three ladies in their department, eyes totally ogling at Jackson just like how Youngjae predicted earlier.

“Hyung, it seems like we are seated next to the boss table.” Youngjae whispered, nudging Jackson to look over at the round table beside theirs, Jia already seated there probably waiting for their vice president.

Before Jackson had a chance to respond, the three ladies squealing caught everyone's attention and soon everyone’s eyes are on Mark Tuan who had just walked through that hall doors, heading straight to Jackson.

Jackson couldn’t denied at how stunning his Dimsum looked tonight even with such a simple look, a long sleeved mint green button up shirt, layered with a white jacket and pair up with a navy blue jeans.

“Hey baby.” Mark greeted casually, hands on Jackson’s shoulder before giving the younger his charming smile which only earned envy looks from the ladies watching them.

“Hey, you came.” Jackson exclaimed, returning the smile before grabbing hold of the hand that was on his shoulder, entangling their fingers with each other.

“Hey Youngjae.” Mark greeted the younger with a high five. which Youngjae gladly returned before smiling at the older.

“How is your day so far?” Mark questioned in english, just to make it more private since they are surrounded by others.

“It was fine, I had a lot of fun with Youngjae. We hanged out at the beach earlier.” Jackson shared excitedly which caused Mark to nod before pinching Jackson’s nose.

“Hey, what was that for?” Jackson pouted, rubbing his red nose while Mark chuckled at how red the younger’s nose is.

“Sorry, I just can’t resist it. You look so cute when you are excited.” Mark apologized, feeling bad after seeing how the redness won’t go away, he might had pinch a bit too hard.

With the english conversation going on in front of him, Jinyoung couldn’t help but feel nauseated seeing how they shamelessly acting affectionately in front of others.

“Aren’t you going to your table?” Jinyoung questioned, putting that conversation to a stop before all eyes were on him as he looked at Mark hard.

“Shouldn’t you be joining your department ? The event it’s about to start.” Jinyoung exclaimed once more directing it straight to Mark as he checked his wristwatch.

Mark smirked, ready to repliy the other but a familiar voice stopped his every intention before he turned to greet the person that just arrived by their table for the night.

“President Tuan.” Jaebum greeted, bowing at Mark which caused everybody to gasp in shock at the scene unfolding in front of them including the dumbfounded Jackson and baffled Jinyoung.

“Jaebum shii, it seems that everything went by smoothly.” Mark replied, smiling at the vice president who return it back with a fake smile.

“Yes, sir. We are enjoying ourselves.” Jaebum exclaimed, looking at the still stunned spectators as he mention the word ‘ourselves’.

“Good.” Mark replied before turning to look at Jackson who is looking at him for some explanation.

Mark smiled, the younger cheeks before leaning in, whispering into Jackson’s ears.

“I will explain everything later.” Mark whispered in english before joining Jaebum and Jia at the table beside them, seated not to far so that Jackson will still be in his sight.

Jackson couldn’t help but to wonder, what is going on because he have no clue at what to expect tonight.

Jaebum looked at the interaction, praying hard that Mark isn’t Jackson’s new boyfriend but from seeing how Jinyoung is turning pale by the minutes, he has to be the one..

The vice president sighed, just when he thought he could destroy Jackson something must be in his way.

Just when everyone thought the atmosphere had settled down, the Chairman make his way into the hall with his lovely wife before they head straight for their table.

Jaebum and Jia immediately jolted up to greet the pair while Mark helped his Ma settle down beside him.

“Where is Ka Yee?” Mrs Tuan whispered over to her oldest, can’t wait to hug her youngest.

Mark turned, glancing over at Jackson whose beaming when he saw Mrs Tuan noticed him, trying his best not to let his tablemates caught him.

Mr Tuan who noticed at how excited his wife is decided that it’s the best time to reveal their relationship to the public since they got nothing to hide anyway.

“Ka Yee.” Mr Tuan called out, causing everyone nearby to looked around wondering who is he calling out for.

“Yes, Chairman Tuan.” Jackson replied awkwardly which cause all eyes to set on him.

“Come here and join us.” Mr Tuan invited, which cause Jackson to instantly reject while trying his best to avoid the puppy eyes shooting out from Mrs Tuan.

Mr Tuan smiled, knowing clearly that the younger actually feel awkward especially with everyone eyes on him so he decided to get up and approach the younger over at his table.

“Come, you don’t want to keep Ma waiting, right?” Mr Tuan urged, knowing that Jackson will eventually gives in for the sake of his wife.

Jackson hates it when Pa used his beloved Ma against him, with no choice he decided to ignored all those eyes watching them and follows Mr Tuan over to the other table.

“Ka Yee, seat here.” Mrs Tuan exclaimed excitedly, asking her youngest to take over Mark’s seat while her oldest seated himself beside the now stiffed Jackson.

Mrs Tuan asked him to loosen up, don’t worry about others and enjoyed tonight fully with them.

The party soon started with music playing, delicious foods and drinks served, everyone seemed to have somehow moved on from the whole president and Jackson scene but not Jaebum and Jinyoung because the shocked was too much it could last them a century.

While everyone still enjoying and in good mood, Mr Tuan decided it’s the best time to took the chance to thanked all of his staffs for working so hard all these while.

As he got up on the small stage located at the right end of the hall, everybody’s attention where on him as the music instantly started playing softly in the background instead.

“I would like take the opportunity tonight to thanked you all for working so hard, if it wasn’t for all of your dedication throughout these years, the company wouldn’t be celebrating its thirtieth anniversary next week. Thank you so much, everyone!” Mr Tuan thanked sincerely causing everyone to clapped and cheered, feeling glad that their hard work paid off in the end.

“I would also like to introduce someone who had just joined the Majestic family recently. Our new president and also my son, Mark Tuan.” Mr Tuan continued after the clapping died down before calling out for his oldest to join him on stage.

Mark quickly head towards his Pa, bowing to the crowd before giving them his charming smile, making every single lady in the hall goes wild while the men could sigh at their defeat for having a total icy charmer as their new boss.

“And also, I would like to introduce someone very  important to the Tuan family, somebody who is already like a son to me, Jackson Wang.” Mr Tuan added, looking Jackson way which cause all eyes to follow suit which just make the situation worse for him before the crowd started mumbling among themselves.

“Go on, Pa is waiting.” Mrs Tuan encouraged her youngest before Jackson nodded, ignoring all the eyes as he head for the stage to join Pa and Mark on it.

“I hoped that everyone will accept and follow along well under Mark’s guidance, just like how you did with me. Thank you and enjoy yourselves.” Mr Tuan wrapped up his speech, all three bowing to crowd as they cheered, excluding Jaebum and Jinyoung 

The duo quickly shared a look, totally mind blown by the fact that Jackson Wang is related to the Tuan, in fact well loved by the chairman and his wife.

Jaebum feel stupid for not being able to read the situation going on at their shared table, totally failed at picking up how much Mrs Tuan actually dotes on Jackson this whole time.

Where else Jinyoung’s mental just breakdown, totally didn’t expect the guy that he dumped were actually related to his own boss family and it isn’t helping the fact that his current boyfriend is their new boss.

Mark’s words from that unforgettable brunch replayed in his mind, causing him to shiver in horror realizing what the other meant when he said he can destroy him.

Mr Tuan returned to the table with the ‘couple’ trailing behind him, settling back down at their previous seats while Jaebum eyed them.

“President!” A voice greeted, bowing with a few staffs whose carrying the special dishes that Jackson requested.

Everyone eyes including the peoples over at Jinyoung’s table were set on Mark upon hearing the greeting but instead got another surprise when an unexpected person responded instead.

“Chef Yi.” Jackson greeted his head chef awkwardly, nodding to the said male and his other staffs.

“The dishes that you requested earlier for Chairman Tuan’s family is ready to be served.” Chef Yi informed before signalling the staffs to place the dishes on the table after receiving  a nod from Jackson.

“Thank you, Chef Yi.” Jackson thanked before the head chef walked away with his staffs, leaving them to enjoy his dishes.

“That’s so sweet of you, Ka Yee. Thank you.” Mrs Tuan exclaimed, her youngest’s cheeks lovingly before Jackson scooped some of her favourite for her.

“President?” Jaebum questioned out, couldn’t stand the curiosity that bubbling him after seeing how the chef and staffs treated Jackson with so much respect.

“Ah, yes. I forget to mention about Jackson being the owner of this resort.” Mr Tuan exclaimed, finding it interesting how Jaebum got so interested over a greeting.

“But doesn’t this belong to the Wang Gro…” Jaebum was about to reason but cut himself off when he finally realized that Jackson actual freaking share the same family name as the infamous Wang Group that is well known internationally.

“Yes, it does and Jackson is the sole heir to Wang Group.” Mr Tuan explained which cause almost everyone mouth to hang open upon hearing the news, didn’t expect that the very same person they used to ‘bullied’ around is actually a rich heir.

Jackson could only smile awkwardly, mouthing sorry to Youngjae and Bambam for not sharing the truth with them before.

Where else Jinyoung don’t know what to think of anymore, he literally dumped a rich heir for a embezzling jerk, way to go and destroyed his own life.

While the news is still trying to set in, a group of people walked in before approaching Jaebum over at their shared table.

“Im Jaebum shii.” A man which appeared to be the head called out the vice president name, which earned a confused look from Jaebum but replied with a short ‘yes’ nonetheless.

“You are under arrest for embezzling and selling out company information.” Hyunsik announced, showing his police badge before signalling two of his men to the panicking male.

“What? No! ” Jaebum exclaimed before jolting out of his seat, trying to run away but unfortunately Mark got a grip on his shoulder before he could even run.

“Let me go! Do you even have any evidences against me?” Jaebum barked at the officers who is holding on to him while the crowd watches their chic vice president turned hysteria.

“Don’t worry, we have more that enough evidence against you.” Hyunsik replied before signalling his men to bring the hysterical man out of the hall before approaching Jinyoung whose breaking out in cold sweat after watching his lover got handcuffed by the police.

“Park Jinyoung shii, you are under arrest for being an accomplice to Im Jaebum’s crime.” Hyunsik announced before once again signalling two of his men to the male that already breaking down.

Jinyoung quickly run towards Jackson, begging him to save him but the officers eventually caught up and handcuffed him.

“Jackson, please save me!! I was wrong, please!!” Jinyoung continuously begged while crying as the officers dragged him out.

“Thank you, Hyunsik.” Mark thanked the officer, feeling great that the case is finally over.

“No problem, Mark. I will call you once everything settle out at the station.” Hyunsik replied, smiling before exiting the hall after apologizing for disturbing the party.

The party goes on even though everyone was busy talking among themselves about the scene they just witness including Youngjae and Bambam.

When the party finally ended later that night, the Tuan pair headed straight for their suite to rest, Mark had brought Jackson out by the pool to chat while Youngjae had invited Bambam over to his room since his roommate had just been arrested.

“Hey, are you alright? Mark questioned after seeing his big baby dazed out, not speaking a single word since they took a seat by the pool ten minutes ago.

“Is that the reason why you asked me if I ever hope of patching things up with him?” Jackson questioned back, finally talking as he look at the older seated beside him with an unreadable expression.

Mark nodded, sighing before filling in on the whole story to the younger who was left speechless by the time he was done.

“I’m sorry if witnessing him being arrested was too much for you.” Mark apologized, seeing how the whole thing seems to have shook Jackson up pretty badly just from him dazing out like this.

“Don’t be, Dimsum. He deserved it for betraying everyone trust on him including mine. If I were you, I would have done the same thing. I was probably shook up by the fact that somebody as prideful as him, begged me to save him in the end.” Jackson exclaimed, smiling sadly thinking about how his ex thrown away every single ounce of pride and ego in him just to begged him, a person that he cruelly dumped without even feeling guilty.

Mark nodded, rubbing circles on Jackson’s back to comfort the gloomy younger before Jackson leaned in resting his head on the older’s chest, their free hands entangled together.

The best friends just enjoyed the peace, watching the moonlight shining brightly on them.

Where else back in Youngjae’s and Jackson’s shared room, Youngjae is desperately trying to comfort the sobbing Bambam while mentally cursing himself for bring up about how him and Jackson is aware of the younger relationship with Jaebum.

He almost banged his head on the wall but luckily, he heard their room door unlocking before Jackson walked in with Mark trailing behind him.

He quickly signalled for help which Jackson immediately comply, taking a seat beside the messed up office boy while Mark seated himself over at the other bed, still facing the trio on Jackson’s bed.

“Bam.” Jackson called out softly, wiping the poor boy’s tears before rubbing his back up and down to soothed him.

Luckily for helpless Youngjae, Bambam slowly stopped sobbing before quickly wiping his own tears, feeling a bit embarrassed for suddenly bursting out just like that at this point.

“Jackson hyung, I’m so sorry. You are so nice to me but instead I betrayed your kindness and friendship by spreading all those rumors about you blindly without knowing about all the bad things that JB has been doing behind my back.” Bambam apologized, feeling really stupid for going along with his boyfriend of three years to bring down someone as sweet as Jackson.

To say Jackson wasn’t shocked by the confession, it’s a lie but right now he can’t even get angry at Bambam because he was blindly pulled into Jaebum’s sick game without knowing anything including how Jaebum was two-timing him with Jinyoung.

“Don’t worry,Bam. Everybody makes mistakes, just make sure you don’t do it again.”Jackson exclaimed before ruffling the office boy’s hair and smiling widely at him which caused Bambam to realized how lucky he was to be friends with someone angel-like like Jackson Wang.

Mark and Youngjae smiled watching both of them, feeling relief that everything is cleared up today.

 

*************************************

 

Time passed by as everyone returned back to their usual routine in the company, it’s already been a week since the trip and even though there are still people talking about that incident, most of them are pretty much over it including Jackson, Youngjae and even Bambam.

Jackson is currently busy leading the department temporarily, working on the perfume ad after finding out the truth from Mark about how the deal actually falls through since Kevin is actually a senior of his and all the details that was passed on to Jaebum and Jinyoung previously was part of his plan to trapped them.

Wherelse Mark has been super busy, running back and forth between the company and police station this past week.

Today was one of those rare days that Mark actually managed to stayed in the office,sorting out the documents and files.

While busy scanning through his new stack of documents, the young president heard a knock which cause him to instantly invite the person in, thinking that it’s probably Jia with a new batch of documents.

“Seems like somebody is busy, should I leave?” A voice teased, a voice that Mark had missed so much causing him to instantly looked up and beamed in happiness.

“Yugyeom ah.” Mark shouted out before jolting up and glomping the laughing younger who has pretty much missed his lovable hyung so much.
