"J-j-Jackson." I stutter.
"Hey." He greeted with warmest smile that I almost felt summer around the corner.

"Who are you?" Carl blurted out at Jackson perhaps still annoyed at me.

Jackson's face suddenly turned red and looked..scared?
"I-i I'm sorry. I ju-just-"
"Just what?" Carl almost exploded making the young man jump in fear.
"Carl relax." I say holding back my laughter. "Carl, This is Jackson. His friend was in the hospital for a while." I introduce Jackson.
Jackson then bowed, "my name is Jackson." He said. "H-Have a good day." He says as he turned to walk away from the situation he put himself in.

"What's with him?" Carl talks to himself confused.
"Wait Jackson!" I call before he could walk out.
"What's the matter?" I ask
"Nothing, I just stopped by to check up on you."
"Since you're already here, let me introduce you to Carl."
I look over at Carl who's glaring at the older man infront of him.
"Stop." I tell Carl between my teeth.
"I'll go get us something to drink." Carl says to probably calm himself down after the heart attack I gave him.
"Sit down." I tell Jackson who's still stiff.

"You're boyfriend seem to not like my presence. I'm really sorry. I'll call you later."
"He's just worried about me. Don't bother yourself." I say as I smile to him.
"How do you feel?" He asks
"I'm good. How did you know though?"
"Oh I came by earlier because I forgot my watch the other day, and then I coincidently saw you." He answers

"So it was actually you." I softly as as I nod to myself.
He looked at me as his eyes traveled through the length of my face and then he looked down his hands.
"I saw your boyfriend running towards you so I didn't find the need to approach you. I just didn't think he'd still be here now too." He said still looking down.

"Heh. Carl is my best friend. I was being yelled at a while ago for being careless that's why. But he's usually very nice." I say as I find difficultly in holding in my laughter.

"Y-your be-best friend?" He stutters as his eyes become a perfect circle.
"Yes.~" I say as I burst into laughter. "I wanted to introduce him to you when he comes back. But yeah."

"Oh he was so worried earlier, I thought he was your boyfriend." He says as he tries to hide his embarrassment.

"He's already in relationships." I say bluntly maybe because I was already pissed about how he plays and switches girlfriends as if they were under garments.

Jackson probably thought I made a grammatical mistake which I hoped he did as he didn't ask further questions.
.
"Here." Carl says as he hands him a coke.
"Thank you." Jackson says politely.
"Yeah." Carl replies as he rolls his eyes.
"Oh by the way Carl, Mr. Jackson is 2 years older than you." I tell Carl as his attitude started to get annoying.

"What?" He says shocked. "2 years?? Woah. You look 19." Carl blurts.
True though. Jackson looks much younger in casuals and more of a man in formals.
"Is that a compliment?" Jackson asks looking sincerely confused.

"How's Jinyoung?" I ask Jackson as I remove my lab coat and walk towards the exit the hospital.
"He's perfectly perfect."
"That's relieving. I'll head home now, Sir."
"I'll drop you since your friend left urgently."
"No, it's alr-"
"Please." He cuts me.

The walk home seemed shorter than usual. Time seems to pass by faster when I'm with him.
.

"Thankyou, Sir." I say as I turn towards the escalator.
"Can you stop calling me sir? It makes me feel like I'm already way too old when I'm only 3 years older.
"Heh, Sorry." I say as I blush.
"Aye, Lelyan," He speaks again making me face him.

"If you feel better tomorrow, can I take you on a date?"
