after the fansign, jaebum and bambam went over to mark to grab him before he got lost in the crowd of jackys.

"did you enjoy?" jaebum asked even though he already knew the answer.

"are you kidding me?? it was absolutely amazing," mark exclaimed.

they were back in jackson's room, waiting for jackson to come back from changing.

mark's smile has still not left his face, only growing even bigger once jackson stepped into the room.

mark got up and went to jackson.

"you're so talented jia-er."

jackson gave mark a cute smile, his cheeks slightly red.

"thank you," he replied while rubbing the back of his head.

bambam groaned,"stop flirting and let's go out to eat."

the four of them were now at a restaurant that jaebum, bambam, and jackson frequently visited, however a restaurant mark has never been too.

"the food here is so delicious, trust me,"jackson told mark.

mark looked at the menu, not knowing what to order.

suddenly a waitress came up to the table.

bambam, jaebum, and jackson already told the waitress their orders leaving mark to just say his.

mark hesitated, hating that everyone was looking at him and waiting for him to say his nonexistent order.

jackson noticed that mark was struggling to choose so he came to the rescue and chose for him.

"he'll get what im having," jackson told the waitress.

the waitress gave him a smile, collected the menus, then left to go to the kitchen to tell the cooks about their orders.

"thank you gaga."

jackson's heart fluttered as he heard the nickname that his mom gave him, but hearing it coming out of mark's mouth made him feel some type of way.

"so mark," jaebum started off,"tell us about yourself."

mark froze up.

once again, jackson responded for mark,"it's hyung to you, he's born in 1993."

"ahh sorry hyung," jaebum apologized.

"it's ok, i was born late anyways."

"when is your birthday hyung," bambam asked.

"mark's birthday is september 4th," jackson answered for mark again.

jaebum gave him a pointed stare,"oh, so your name is mark now? why are you answering the questions for mark?"

jackson blushed and apologized.

mark just laughed at jackson's embarrassment, not minding that jackson was answering for him. he wasn't going to lie, it made him happy, made jackson seem possessive of him, but of course, that's another one of mark's fantasies.

"what do you major in college?" jaebum asked next.

"oh even i don't know this one," jackson excitedly said.

"i major in (put major here whatever you want cause i don't know what to put)," mark finally replied back this time.

"that's interesting! what college do you go to anyways?" bambam said.

"california state university of fullerton."

after mark's answer, their food finally arrived.

"wow it smells so good," mark shouted inhaling the food's aroma.

"it tastes even better," jackson told him.

he watched mark taste the food, chewing slowly then moaning at the taste of the food.

jackson looked away quickly, face turning red.

jaebum and bambam tried hard not to snicker at their squirming friend.

jackson began to eat his food as well.

awkward silence hit the four.

"how's the food mark?" bambam asked.

"it's really good, the best i've eaten," mark said with his mouth full.

jackson smiled warmly at how cute mark looked with his cheeks puffed out with food.

jaebum decided to tease his lovesick friend.

"jackson if you keep staring at mark, your food is going to get cold."

mark choked on his food, making bambam quickly hand him his water to put the food down.

jackson patted mark's back, glaring at jaebum for teasing him and making mark choke on his mouth full.

"thanks," mark said in a raspy voice.

after the eventful dinner, they decided to go get ice cream.

bambam faked groan, "you know what," he whimpered as he put his hand on his stomach, "i'm not feeling to good, i think i'm going to have jaebum hyung take me home."

jackson began to worry for his friend, "mark and i can go home as well."

jaebum declined the thought, "it's ok jackson, go have fun with mark, i'll help bambam don't worry."

mark frowned, also worried about bambam.

" i can take a cab home, all of you must be tired anyways," mark told them.

bambam quickly yelled out no.

"it's fine, i'll just take some medicine and go to bed. let's go hyung."

as soon as jaebum and bambam left, mark and jackson's hearts began to sped up at the idea of being left alone together.

i'll think of this as a date, mark thought.

mark and jackson walked towards the ice cream shop in silence, both lost in their thoughts about each other.

suddenly, jackson grabbed mark's hand.

"my hand is cold," he said.

mark blushed and just held jackson's hand tighter.
