You were appalled and embarrassed at the same time. Mark can't judge you for this. He's your best friend, there's no way he would. After a few moments of awkward silence, you spoke up. 

"Mark, I had a guy over at my apartment today. It was just a Tinder hook up." You explained calmly. 

Mark paused, but he seemed to believe you. 

"Do you have makeup in your bag?" he asked. 

You nodded, and he walked off to go get it for you. This is why Mark is the best. He always has your back, but you did lie to him. You do feel bad for that, but you know he would be pissed if he found out about you and JB. He came back and handed you your concealer and red lipstick. He knows you so well that he knows what you use to cover hickeys with. You remember in high school when you had to cover up a hickey on his neck. Mark wasn't a hoe or anything, but this girl that he had a crush on was a slight hoe. She hooked up with him once and then never talked to him again. High school kind of sucked, but anyway, you had shown him how to properly cover up a hickey. The red from the lipstick cancels out the dark blue/purple hickey color, so then the concealer hides it better. 

"Thank you," you said, taking the makeup and going into the bathroom. 

"I remembered the lipstick trick," he said, leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom. 

"Nice, "you chuckled. "Hey, did anyone else notice the hickey?"

"Umm, I don't think so? Except for Jackson. He's the one that told me to tell you about it."

"Oh? So you didn't notice it at first?"

"No, he whispered to me. He didn't want to make it obvious."

"That's nice of him."

You finished covering up the hickey and handed Mark the makeup. 

"Now, I have to pee." You said closing the door on him. 

You heard Mark chuckle before you closed the door. You smiled to yourself. You know your best friend is the best, and you really can't imagine anyone ever taking his place. After you were done, you walked back into the tv room area. The boys were arguing about something. 

"A HORROR MOVIE??" Yugyeom frowned. 

"It's not even that bad," Jaebum said. 

"Yuyyeom is just a SCARED LITTLE BITCH," Jackson teased. 

You laughed and sat next to Yugyeom. You always had a soft spot for him. He's like a big baby. He's tall and intimidating but also immature. You are also slightly older than him. 

"Jackson says that now, but during the movie, he will be screaming his lungs out. I guarantee it," you say, confidently. 

Jackson makes a face at you but winks afterward. Yugyeom and BamBam laughed at your comment. 

"If you guys aren't quiet during the movie I will actually murder all of you," Jinyoung said calmly. 

Youngjae burst out laughing, which of course, causes everyone else to laugh. Youngjae has the best laugh, and it's contagious. 

"Whoever talks during the movie has to jump into the pool," Mark said, grinning. 

"That's easy for you to say because you litERALLY DON'T TALK," Jackson said. 

"I like the idea, let's do it," JB said with a smirk. 

He looked at you, and you blushed a bit. Bambam put his head on your shoulder, and fake snored. You giggled and poked his cheek with your finger.  

"I call the couch for the movie!" Youngjae exclaimed.

"Nah, let's do rock, paper, scissors," Jinyoung said. 

Everyone agreed. After the first round, Jaebum and Jackson lost. The second round, Mark and Jinyoung lost. 

"So the four losers get the floor, and the four winners get the couch," Youngjae said happily. 

"As long as I get to lay on Jinyoung, I'm happy," Jackson said.

Jinyoung glared at Jackson for a moment, but he couldn't hold in his laugh. Jackson grinned. Yugyeom sat next to you, and then BamBam sat on the other side of you, next to Youngjae. Mark sat on the floor in front of Yugyom, Jackson in front of you, then Jinyoung, and Jaebum on the end. Everyone started watching the movie, keeping the no talking rule in mind. Halfway through the movie though, people started doing their own thing. Mark was focusing on watching the movie, Jackson and Jinyoung were fooling around with each other, and Jaebum fell asleep next to them. BamBam held your hand underneath the blanket and would squeeze it whenever a scary scene happened. You could tell he was trying to not act scared, but he was. Yugyeom ended up cowering behind you, making you giggle every time he did it. 

Towards the end of the movie, almost everyone had fallen asleep. Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, and Jaebum were all leaning on each other, slumped. BamBam ended up falling asleep against Youngjae, who was clutching a pillow, sleeping as well. You were too busy watching the movie to go to sleep, and Yugyeom was too scared. 

"Y/N, is everyone else asleep?" Yugyeom asked, half his face covered in the blanket you were sharing. 

You nodded, and then a scary scene in the movie came on, and Yugyeom gripped onto you. You now have your arm around him. A scary pop-up scene came on, and he buried his face into your chest. You started playing with his hair a little bit to calm him down, and it seemed to work. 

"Y/N?" he whispered. 

"Yeah, Gyeomie?" you answered in a sweet voice. 

He turned to look at you with a sheepish smile. 

"Can you come with me to get water?" He asked shyly. 

You nodded. Both of you got up slowly, as to not wake anyone up. You both entered the kitchen and you turned the lights on. 

"That movie scared you that bad?" You asked him, teasingly. 

"Shut up, y/n" he muttered, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge. 

"Woah, you're a tough guy now. Huh?" You loved teasing him. 

He stepped towards you, and you had to look up to look at his face. While he may be immature, Yugyeom is very tall, so he towers over you. 

"What was that?" he asked in a low voice, leaning down to your level. 

You giggled and poked his nose. He scrunched up his face and resumed drinking his water. You kept making faces at him, causing him to almost choke on his water from laughing. He put his water down and wiped his mouth. You giggled as he started dancing like a total goofball. 

"Stop showing off, Yugyeom," a husky voice said. 

You turned to see Jackson, walking into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes. Yugyeom just chuckled. 

"I have to go to the bathroom, " Yugyeom said, starting to walk off. 

"Do you need me to go with you?" you asked, jokingly. 

He mockingly laughed, but then preceded to sprint down the hall. Jackson just chuckled. He turned to look at you, with a quizzical expression on his face. 

"What?" You asked him. 

"You're interesting, Y/N," He stated. 

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you seem to have BamBam wrapped around your fingers. Jaebum kept staring at you before, and Yugyeom had his face in your boobs the whole movie. How did you do it?"

Your jaw drops. How is Jackson so honest about everything? How is he so aware of it all?

"Don't worry. The others don't notice these things. But I do."

He leans on the counter, next to you. He's somewhat eyeing you up and down. You make an effort not to do the same to him. His onesie is unzipped, and his six-pack is completely showing. You suppose you have some cleavage showing, but at least you have a shirt on under your onesie. 

"BamBam likes me, but I'm not using him for anything. Jaebum can look all he wants. And Yugyeom was scared to death of the movie." You said dryly. 

"Yeah, Yugyeom knew what he was doing though. If I had guts like him, I'd be doing the same thing." Jackson said, biting his lower lip. 

"I don't know what you're implying, but I haven't done anything wrong."

"I never said you did, Babydoll. I just told you what I see."

You smirk slightly at the nickname. Jackson seems to notice. For some reason, he seems to notice everything. He can read people like a book, and you don't know if you should trust him. 

"Does Mark know about any of it?" You ask curiously. 

"Nah, everyone's kind of oblivious. " He said honestly. "But I'm not. And I kind of want to know what all the fuss is about."

"What do you mean, Jackson?"

"I mean, you are gorgeous, but I want to learn more about you. I want to go deeper."

"What do you mean?"

"You like the attention from the guys, right? I can see that you do, but I have yet to know why. Are you not satisfied with something? Are you trying to get something?"

With each question, he moves closer towards you. You keep glancing at his body, then his face. You can't help it by now. He's so intimidating. 

"I'm not trying to get anything... I mean, I don't think so. I want things obviously, but I'm not trying to make guys fall for me."

"You don't have to try, it just happens. And I know you want things, but I can't give them to you if you don't tell me what they are."

You aren't even sure of what he is talking about now, though you have a slight idea. You've never been one to hook up with a bunch of people or anything before. In high school, you dated here and there, and you aren't a virgin. But you've never been one to toy with a bunch of guys. That's just not your style. There's something about this group though. They seem to want to give you a taste of each of them (or a few of them so far), and you can't hide the fact that you like it. 

"I don't know what I want, Jackson. I just want to do whatever I want, and whoever I want. I've always made barriers for myself, but fuck it. I should be able to do what I want."

"I understand that completely, you shouldn't have to hold back. If something you like is in front of you, you should be able to take it. You know, as long as it makes sense. Like if a guy you want is in front of you, if he's cool with it, you shouldn't hold back because of the rules you made in your own head. "

"Exactly! That's exactly how I feel. You really do understand."

"Now I see what all the fuss is about."

He smiled and is now looking directly at you. You can't help but look away. Being this open to someone who is not Mark is completely new for you. Jackson was able to open you up to fast. He places his hand under your chin and turns your face back to him. His hand stays in place, and you can't help but look at his abs once more. 

"Do what you want, babydoll," He said with a slight smirk. 

At first, you can't tell what he means. His gaze is so demanding, that you want to give in to him. You can't help yourself. He cocks his head to the side a little and takes your hand in his. He places it by his right collarbone, and let's go. You can't help the temptation. You then let your hand travel down his chest. He bites his lip again and smirks. You use your other hand as well, and trace down to his abs. How can Jackson be so demanding by saying so little? You simply want to please him, just from his gaze. 

"You like that, huh?" he says, watching your hands move up and down his abs. 

You just nod and bite your lip in agreement. Something about him is making you feel so subservient. His eyes say it all. 

He cups your face in his hands and pulls you closer to him. He looks down at you with a smirk. 

"Is there anything you want from me?" he asked. 

You don't know what to say. What do you want? Why are you doing this? You have no idea. You feel no control right now, but you like it that way. 

"If you're not sure, you can think about it, Babydoll. Just let me know when," he said, and backed away from you. 

He winked at you before walking down the hall. Yugyeom finally returned from the bathroom. 

"Y/N, why do you look like you just saw a ghost?" he asked with a chuckle. 

Jackson's words lingered in your mind. What did he mean by 'just let me know when'? That whole conversation confused you, but at the same time, it made perfect sense. And then he basically made you touch his fine ass body? What an interesting guy. 

"I'm good," you said, nonchalantly, "Let's go back to finish the movie."
