Chapter 9
Right Way to Move OnMark's POV
It has been a month since first day of classes and me and Jackson have gotten closer ever since. I mean, I do remember cutting and going to a picnic with him and then on the evening, we went to a bar. After that, I remember nothing. I kept asking Jackson what happened but Jackson just said that I got drunk and said some crazy stuff. My questions is what crazy stuff have I blabbered to him that the day after, he looked kinda pissed at me.
But the day after, he kept a close watch on me and hang out with the group often now just to be with me.
I wonder what exactly happened.
And during the days that passed, I saw myself slowly falling for Jackson. Suddenly I wanted to see his smile and to hear his laugh beside me. I wanted his presence to be around me and I would be lying if I said that I didn't like him following me everywhere I go. So maybe I was really starting to like that idiot.
"Pssst. You alright?" I was at the library studying something in Calculus when Jackson decided to come out from nowhere.
"Yeah." I said and looked at the example again.
"Well, you don't look alright to me. Having a hard time?" Jackson asked and looked at the lesson that I was studying, "Oh. Didn't I tell you I'm good at math? Let me show you my skills." Jackson boasted and started to explain one equation.
I was paying attention because no lie, Jackson was a good teacher. Then something caught my eye.
I looked at the entrance and saw two people that I hated to meet.
Jaebum and Youngjae.
Youngjae looked like he was telling Jaebum a story but Jaebum obviously wasn't listening.
He kept eyeing the whole place and when his eyes was on my direction, I quickly looked away and paid attention to Jackson... who I didn't notice that he stopped talking and was staring at me.
"Him?" Jackson asked me. He probably noticed my change of expression.
I just nodded and eyed the book once again.
"Mark." A very familiar voice said my name and I couldn't bring myself to look up so I just hummed.
"Do you have time?" Jaebum asked and this time, I looked up.
"What, why?" I asked him.
"Well... I want to talk with you about... stuff..." Jaebum said while scratching his neck.
"Okay, sure." I said and arranged my things. I looked at Jackson, "You gonna stay here?"
"Uh, no. I'm gonna... go ahead, I guess. See you later." Jackson hurriedly said and was gone.
I finished arranging my things and when I looked at Jaebum, he was looking at me with sad eyes.
"Let's go." I said, ignoring eye contact. Maybe I feel pity.
"Can I... Can I carry your backpack?" He suddenly said between the silence. I guess everyone already went home because it's beyond 5pm.
"I can carry it myself, thank you." I said and tightened my hold on my backpack.
We stopped at the locker room.
"So what do you want, Jaebum?" I asked him when I was sure we were alone.
"You stopped calling me JB." He randomly stated and I eyed him, confused.
"Uh, so? Is that the thing that you want to discuss
