The moment they reached the parking lot, Mark went to take Eunji to put her into the baby seat at the back while Jackson put the bag in the seat beside her. Mark was about to open the driver's door to get in.
"I'm driving." Jackson interjected taking the keys from the door. Again, he didn't allow the other to reply as he slid in and motioned to the passenger seat for Mark.
Mark felt really bad now, he knew Jackson was exhausted, actually he didn't know how the man had managed to stay awake till now. He knew that Jackson didn't get a lot of sleep in the last week, he could see it in the other man's eyes. Why was he being so stubborn?
Mark stood near the window not moving, he definitely wasn't going to let Jackson drive in his condition.
"Jackson, please come out. Let me drive. I don't want you to-"
"Just get in the car, I don't have energy to argue with you." Jackson was being so aggressive and neither men like the way he was acting.
"Please, stop being difficult. I know you're really tired." Mark still pleaded.
"Would you like Youngjae to drive you then?" Jackson had not expected Mark to hear him, but the other did.
"What? Why are you-" Mark was stopped mid-sentence as Jackson opened the door and got out only to drag and put Mark into the passenger seat with a huff, before returning to the driver's seat and starting the engine.
Mark didn't know what had gotten into the younger, but he didn't want to waste anymore time arguing. He really wanted to get Jackson home as soon as he could so the younger could finally get his well-deserved rest.
The entire drive, Mark was really uncomfortable with the silence, which was something new. Jackson was sulking like a scolded child.
They were about to take the turn that lead to Mark's apartment when Mark stated that they should go to Jackson's first and that he would take Eunji home himself. But again, Jackson ignored him.
When they pulled into Mark's apartment, Jackson turned the car off and went to retrieve Eunji from the back.
Why was he acting so cold?
Jackson walked up to the door and waited for Mark, when the older did come, after him being so confused and then finally grabbing the bags, he quickly opened the door. Jackson went straight to Eunji's room to put her down, still giving Mark the silent treatment.
After he tucked the little girl in, not forgetting to give her a kiss on her forehead, he walked out and stood in front of Mark, still saying nothing. Mark couldn't take it anymore; he was not used to not hearing Jackson's soothing voice every five seconds.
"Jackson, did I do something to make you upset?" His voice was so apologetic.
Jackson didn't know what took over him, hearing Mark's sad voice had him snapping out his sulking thoughts. He immediately pulled Mark into a hug. The older's eyes went wide, this was the first time they had ever hugged.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that to you. You did nothing wrong, I'm sorry I acted like that." Jackson said softly as he held on tighter. Why was his body so content all of a sudden? His mind stopped all it's frustrating thoughts, as he breathed in the comforting smell of Mark's sent. Was is shampoo always mango based? Why hadn't he noticed that before? He loved mangoes. Jackson's hand unconsciously rode up Marks shoulders to play with the locks of hair near the older's neck.
Mark didn't understand what was happening. But what he didn't understand further was why his heart was beating like drum on his rib-cage, but the rest of his body seemed to melt into Jackson's embrace. He was so confused. But the moment he felt Jackson play with his hair, his eyes fluttered close and he couldn't think anymore.
