"What do you mean he isn't here?" Mark asks astonished.

"I'm so sorry loves, but he isn't here. He didn't board the plane." The old lady at the information point says.

Jackson's heartbeat races, he feels it beating in his chest heavily. His eyes become red, tears piling up in his eyes, slowly they are spilling. Some across his cheeks, dripping to the ground once they reach the end of his chin. Some rolling all the way down at his neck to be absorbed by his clothing. Mark pulls him in, hugging him tightly, his hand laying on Jackson's head supporting it, his arms wrapped around his precious boyfriend. His heart aches seeing Jackson like this. Jackson clutches his hands to Mark's sweater, breathing heavily and crying.

"Where is he Mark?" Jackson whispers. "He can't be gone right? He isn't gone right? He can't be." Jackson rambles on. Mark shushes him, swaying Jackson back and forth while still hugging him tightly. "We will find him babe, I promise."

"I don't know if that will happen Mark. This is so unlike my uncle. The always answers my calls and if he misses a call he always calls back, I can't believe it. Where is he? He can't just be gone. What happened to him? Did he get into an accident on the way to the airport? Oh my god Mark should I check my phone, maybe I can find something about an accident. May-"

"Jackson," Mark interrupts him, "baby, please, calm down. You're overthinking it right now. Your mind is in overdrive. Let's get home first okay? It's getting late. You need to rest and calm down, your health is important, okay? I will do anything to find him, okay? But let's get home first."

Jackson nods against the fabric of his sweater, not wanting to let Mark go. He can't handle the feeling of losing Mark too now, he needs to be hugged and protected from this. He needs that personal warmth from his boyfriend to feel safe. He feels violated, attacked by what just happened. He has so many worries right now, his head starts to ache from it. What the hell happened to his uncle?

"Come on baby, let's move. We're going to grab a taxi and get home." Mark says softly. It makes Jackson even cry more to hear how much his boyfriend cares right now. Everything is aching and he can't seem to stop crying. His throat is closed off, his breathing getting a little irregular, his eyes are hurting from crying, his head aches from thinking. It's all too much.

Mark notices Jackson isn't going to move at all, he is crying more than before. Mark decides to pick him up. Mark isn't that strong but he can carry Jackson for a while, atleast until they get to the taxi.

"Jump on my back babe, I will carry you." he says. Jackson obeys and walks around Mark and with a little help of Mark himself he jumps on his boyfriend's back. He buries his head in the crook of Mark's neck and puts his arms around his shoulders, still crying softly. The tears keep on falling but he isn't as noisy as he was when he just started crying. He has become silent, all numb from the pain and the aching.

Mark walks them to the parking lot and a taxi arrives just in front of him. Mark sinks down to put Jackson on the ground so they can get in. Jackson gets in first and Mark gets in after, telling the driver the address of Jackson's apartment.

They drive in silence. Or well, not completely. Jackson is cuddled into Mark's side. Mark still shushing him and rocking him back and forth as much as he can. Mark gives him a peck on his forehead or in his hair once in a while, showing he is here for Jackson.

Jackson appreciates it but can't put it in to words right now. He is too emotional and everything aches too much to even talk. He has stopped crying, his eyes burning and hurting, his throat dry and his body trembling a little. His insides just hurt, everything hurts, aches and his feelings are all over the place. The whole ride he thinks about what possibly could have happened to his uncle. He keeps his phone clutched in his hand, because what if he calls but Jackson doesn't answer. Unfortunately his phone doesn't even ring once, he keeps checking it just to be sure, but no missed calls.

Once they arrive at Jackson's apartment, Mark pays the driver and thanks him. Jackson hops on his back again and he gives him the keys to the apartment. They walk up the stairs and luckily Jackson only lives on the third floor.

Mark opens the door and is met with Jinyoung who is reading a book on the couch, a blanket on his legs and his reading glasses on. His head perks up as he sees the two coming in and stares at them confused when he sees the situation the two are in right now. Mark walks up to the couch and puts Jackson down next to Jinyoung.

"What's going on?" Jinyoung asks, looking at Jackson. He sees the boy as red eyes and he looks pale, almost lifeless.

The question is enough to make Jackson burst out in tears once again. He buries his head in his hands as he leans into Jinyoung, who engulfs him in a hug.

"Hey, hey what's going on? Where is your uncle?" At that remark Jackson starts to cry even louder, he blabbers something Jinyoung nor Mark can understand, he is wailing. Jinyoung sways him back and forth trying to calm him down so Jackson can actually talk.

"H-he, and we, and then, sh-" Jackson tries to speak up but he isn't at all comprehending what is going on. His head almost bursting from the head ache and the tears rolling down his cheeks, his nose getting stuffed, so he can even barely breath.

Jinyoung looks down at him and then at Mark, who is rubbing his boyfriend's back in attempt to help him calm down. Jackson looks like he is about to hyperventilate and Jinyoung is not letting that happen. Jackson's breathing is getting more and more irregular and Jinyoung panics for a few seconds. Jackson's heart is beating out of his chest and he feels himself getting unwell.

"Jackson, listen to me, following my breathing okay?" The younger nods weakly, breathing heavily. Jinyoung raises his head up, which the younger had buried in his chest and looks at him.

"Okay, take a deep breath in," Jackson breaths in, looking at Jinyoung with glassy eyes, his breaths being cut with crying, "and take a deep breath out." He breaths out, stumbling a bit, still crying and tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Try again, follow me, take a deep breath in," Jinyoung breaths in deeply and Jackson follows, he breaths in almost steadily, "that's it now, breath out." Jackson breaths out together with Jinyoung and he feels his heartbeat slowing down. They repeat the action a couple of times and Jackson has finally calmed down and almost breathing steadily again.

"Are you okay now?" Jinyoung asks, looking for any signs of Jackson maybe passing out.

"I- I am okay." The boy answers. Jinyoung always had a calming effect on Jackson. He always knows how to calm him down and sooth him when he is crying so hard. Jinyoung knows it has never been this bad and that definitely means something is going on.

"Okay good, now slowly, tell me what happened."

"My uncle never boarded the plane. We looked everywhere for him, he isn't picking up his phone and I have no clue where he is. I am so worried Jinyoungie, I don't know what to do." Jackson breaths out, voice soft and desperate.

Jinyoung looks at Mark again, who is looking at his boyfriend still rubbing his back, soothing him. He returns his gaze back to Jackson.

"That's terrible, Jackson. Do you know why he didn't board the plane?"

"I- I have no clue." Jackson sighs. He is desperate, but tired. So goddamn tired, his head is literally about to burst into a million pieces and he is so tired from crying. He can't even think any more about it than he already has. He just wants to sleep.

Jinyoung notices he is tired and pulls him in to a hug. Mark lets it happen because he knows Jackson needs Jinyoung here. Whatever might happen in the future, Jackson needs Jinyoung to be there. Mark is okay with that, he has gotten to know Jinyoung and he admires how well he knows Jackson and how he always knows to sooth him. Whatever is going to happen in the future, Mark knows Jackson will need him and Jinyoung to be there.

"Let's get you to bed okay? It's almost 12am, we can talk about it tomorrow and we will see what we can do okay? For now lets rest." Jinyoung tells him, Jackson nods weakly.

They all walk upstairs, Jinyoung leaving Jackson and Mark by themselves when he has brushed his teeth and walks in to his bedroom. Mark and Jackson brush their teeth too. Jackson looks in the mirror and is met with an awfully pale human being who looks like he is about to fall down and not wake up.

They leave the bathroom and walk in to Jackson's bedroom. Jackson lets himself fall down on his bed, letting out a content breath. He needs this, he needs to sleep, with Mark beside him.

"Do you need anything?" Mark asks.

"Maybe some aspirin, could you get that for me?"

"Of course babe." Mark replies and walks back to the bathroom. He knows where Jackson stores his medicines and stuff like that. There have been times where they had a little too much to drink and needed to calm down their headaches with any medicine they could find. Mark looks around for the medicines, finally spotting the box with aspirin. He takes two out and fills a glass with water, then walking back to the bedroom.

Jackson opens his eyes and looks at him when he walks in again. It looks like the younger was already almost falling asleep himself. Jackson sits up slowly as Mark hands him the glass of water and the pills. He takes them and Mark sits on the bed, waiting for Jackson to finish. Jackson puts the now empty glass back down and lays on his side. Mark dips in to the mattress next to him and looks at Jackson, who is fighting to hold his eyes open. Mark strokes Jackson's hair, putting it on the side so he can look in Jackson's brown eyes.

"Go sleep baby, I love you. We will figure it out, I promise."

"Thank you so much hyung, I love you too. Please kiss me before I fall asleep."

Mark doesn't need to be asked twice and he leans in, cupping his boyfriend's face. He kisses him softly on his lips and Jackson kisses back weakly, his eyes closed. Mark pulls away and gets closer to Jackson, wrapping his arm around him. Eventually they both fall asleep.

Hours later, after a decent sleep, both of the boys are waking up. Jackson being awake first, his head still aches a little but his eyes no longer hurt. He gets closer to Mark, cuddling in to his side, he replaces Mark's arms so he can readjust himself to being as close to Mark as possible. Mark immediately strengthens his grip around him as he opens his eyes.

"Morning Markie." Jackson says quietly.

"Morning baby. How are you feeling?"

"My head still aches but I am okay."

"I am glad. Come on let's get downstairs, we can make some breakfast and discuss what to do okay?"

Jackson feels that heavy weight in his stomach once again, but nods anyway. Mark notices and kisses him, Jackson kisses back. Jackson feels his heart flutter and he moves his lips against Mark's. He loves the way Mark's lips feel on his, they are slightly chapped but that's okay, he kisses back nonetheless.

Mark back hugs Jackson all the way down the stairs, it makes Jackson giggle a bit. When they walk in to the living room, Jinyoung is sitting at the dining table in his rope, looking like an expensive CEO who is eating his breakfast. They both chuckle at it and Jinyoung looks up a bit confused but he laughs anyway.

Once they are all seated down, eating their breakfast, they hear a knock on the door. They all wonder who the hell would knock on their door at this hour but Jinyoung gets up, being the most dressed of them all. Jackson and Mark are both only wearing shorts and a tank top.

Jackson and Mark hear shushed voices but they can't hear who Jinyoung is talking to. They hear footsteps entering the apartment and a few seconds later the hallway door opens and they are met with two police officers. Two guys are standing there, a tall guy and a smaller guy, both looking at Mark and Jackson.

"Wang Jackson?" One of them asks.

"Yes? That's me." Jackson answers.

"We have news about your uncle."

All of them stare at the two with wide eyes in shock. What the hell is going on?
