The next few weeks of tour the boys were constantly busy and had little to no free time. In that time Mark updated his fan account as did jackson. However, no time was free when Mark wanted to speak with jackson, when Mark asked to speak someone would always interrupt them either for the schedule or in general. It made mark depressed because he had no way of knowing or showing how he feels, he assumes talking to jackson would be the best option. But it seems the world didn't think so and kept them busy and away from each other.

The stress from the tour was backlashing the group and they had multiple arguments and disagreements.
The fans didn't seem invested as much as they used to x or they made snide comments when they had a chance which led to many being thrown out of fanmeets.

The boys being busy had no time to check the feed on social media enough to understand what was going on so when they arrived in China many fans shouted one thing.

'#protectGot7' it shocked the stressed boys but made them happy, obviously jackson and Mark having to translate the majority of the comments both mean and kind. That was the only interaction markson had in these lonely months. But it wasn't their choice.

Finally thwy had a free day which was wasted away by sleeping and eating as much as they could before they end up skipping meals again. Mark being the few who slept in awoke early the next morning with his stomach begging for food so he made his way downstairs and to the kitchen where he met up with a tired and grumpy jackson, who smiled and nodded towards him. Being polite yet sleepy mark gave a small nod back and a half smile.

"good morning Mark, since we have free time what is it you've been wanting me to know?" jackson asked softly aware of how early it is. Mark smiled and nodded.
"I wanted to know how you feel about everything, from the situation beforehand and the course this tour is turning. Also I wanted to ask what you feel about me?" Mark explained jackson sighed.

"well about the situation, I don't regret it, about the tour I hate it, we're constantly fighting or arguing because we are stressed we're barely getting sleep and food and I'm sick of it, I know it's what we're used to but everything that's happened has made it worse and I feel its tearing our group apart and I don't want that, and finally I love you more than a friend" jackson stated and Mark gasped then smiled.

"I love you to u was worried that it would be a one time thing but I guess I was lucky enough not to have that happen, thank you gaga" Mark said a bright smile on his face.

They stared at each other before marks stomach rumbled and jackson handed mark a sandwich from his plate and mark ate silently yawning every now and then. After he finished he waved goodbye to jackson and kissed his cheek before yawning once again and heading to bed.

He landed softly on his bed and he was knocked out in seconds. Today was the best day he ever had and he knew he would be in high spirits for the rest of the day.

Having fallen asleep so quick he didn't notice jackson staring at him with a loving smile on his face before joining him in the bed and cuddling up to him.

It was a good day for him as well and now they can relax their hearts and focus on not tearing apart.
