Mark's phone suddenly started vibrating. He lazily tried to find his phone, reaching it with his hand from the nightstand's shelf.
He glared at the phone's screen, being still to sleepy to see right.

"And unknown number?..." he said to himself with a raspy morning voice.
Then he picked up, putting the phone on speaker by mistake.

"Mornin' Marku~! It's me Jackson, the guy from the bar, your friend Yugyeom gave me your number." Jackson said excited.
"Goodmorning, I recognized your voice and don't worry about waking me up, it was about time for me to get up." Mark replied then he let out a slight yawn.

"I called to ask you if...you'd like to walk with me to uni this morning?"

Mark's heart skipped a bit and his sleepy mood suddenly dropped off when he heard what Jackson just asked.

"Yes, sure! I just need a bit to get ready, meet you at the main street?" Mark quickly managed to say.
"Okays!! See you there then, do you want me to bring some morning snacks or anything?" Jackson continued.
"Only coffee, if you don't mind."
"Okay, I'll be waiting you with coffee, take your time!" Jackson replied, then he ended the call.

"Man, this boy is surely a thing." Jaebum came from behind Mark's room door while he was laughing.

"You heard the whole convo?..." Mark said as he raised an eyebrow at him and he got out of his cozy bed.
"You put your phone on speaker pabo, ofcourse I did, hahaha-- Now hurry up, he is waiting for you." Jaebum said before leaving the room, still laughing.

Mark got ready and he was on his way to university, followed by Jaebum.
Jaebum found an excuse to leave Mark alone so he will only have Jackson's company.

"Hey, Jackson!" Mark greeted.
The blonde boy turned around, holding two cups of hot coffee in his hands.

"Heey~! Here's your cup of coffee, I hope you like caramel machiatto!" Jackson said as he handed Mark a cup.
"Yes, I like it, thanks! That's nice of you!" he smiled brightly. "Let's go to uni now." he continued after he took a sip of his caramel machiatto.

During the courses, Jaebum exchanged seats with Jackson, so Jackson would be able to sit next to Mark and get to know him better.
Mark knew that Jaebum's plan was to get him together with the 'handsome rapper.'

It was 14:00 and courses were done.
Jackson seemed to be in a hurry.

"Are you going at work?" Mark asked.
"Yes, I gotta hurry if I wanna eat something, I'm starving and I gotta be there by 15:00!"
"What do you say about this: you go to work without stress and I'll bring you snacks there, sounds good? This way I can repay for the coffee." Mark said.
"That's a great idea Markeu! Thanks for treating me! Meet me at the bar, I'll be in the staff's room." Jackson said before taking his backpack and leaving the class.

°~~~°

It was 16:00 and Mark was at 'Chris Brown' bar.
He saw Yugyeom around and asked him if he can go in the staff's room to find Jackson. Yugyeom allowed him without problem.

Mark entered in a large room where the employers kept their belongings while they were working.
His sight quickly stopped on Jackson's familiar figure.

"I brought some food, Jackson!" Mark gave Jackson some boxes, which contained chinesse food.
"You're my saviour! I really needed to eat something!" Jackson hugged Mark and started unpacking the boxes.

Mark was watching Jackson as he was eating. He looked handsome even when he was hungry.

"Aren't you going to eat with me?" Jackson said with his mouth nearly full.
"No, I just ate, I brought everything only for you." Mark smiled.
"Thanks again!" then he resumed eating.

"Jackson...since I don't have what to do this afternoon, can I stay at the bar while you are working?" Mark murmured.
"Sure! You wanna see me in action as a waiter?" Jackson joked.
"Maybe?" Mark replied as he started laughing too.

Said and done.

Mark was sitting at a table in the bar, he ordered a cup of wild fruits tea and he observed Jackson taking orders and bringing them to the customers.

Suddenly a boy with an innocent face, walked closer to the table Mark was sitting at and he asked:

"Would you like something else, sir?" the waiter said.

"No, thank you...but wait...you are Jackson's little brother?" Mark asked out of nowhere when the waiter was about to leave.
"Yes but who told you this...?" he shyly asked back.
"Your brother. Don't worry I am not a weirdo or something!" Mark laughed.
"Oh, sorry if I offended you! My name is Bambam." the boy bowed.
"I'm Mark, nice to meet you!"

"Bambam!! Junior said he needs you at the kitchen, hurry up and help him!" Jackson shouted, interrupting Bambam's conversation with Mark.
"I gotta go! The chef needs me in the kitchen. If you'd like to order anything else just call me or Jackson. Enjoy your time here, Mark!"

Jackson went over to Mark's table, right after Bambam left.

"Whew~...I told Youngjae to take the next customer's orders, I need a break and since you are here I can spend my breaks with you!" he said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This place is nice, Yugyeom did a good job, especially when he hired the staff." Mark smiled at Jackson while he sat beside him.
"I know, gorgeous guys like me are hard to find!" he let out a hyena laugh immediately followed by Mark's laugh.

"True, true, you're interesting to watch as a rapper and as a waiter too."
"Hope that you haven't got bored, I'll finish work at 9:00 pm."
"It's not long until then, I can wait." Mark assured Jackson.
"You should go meet our chef, Junior while I'm busy. He's back in the kitchen with my bro."
"Sure, I'll go meet him after you finish your break." Mark nodded.

While they were talking, Mark noticed that Jackson is thirsty and he gave him a sip from his drink.

"Thanks for taking care of me, Markeu!" Jackson smiled sweetly at Mark as he drank again from his drink.

When Jackson was done with his break, Mark went in the kitchen for meeting Junior.
Junior seemed to aslo be a nice guy, but he couldn't talk too much with him because he was really busy.

Later, when the clock hit 9:00 pm, Jackson's could leave the bar, right after he cleaned the bar along with Bambam and Youngjae. Mark also offered to help so they will finish faster.

After they were done cleaning, Mark phoned Jaebum to come pick him and Jackson up from the bar.

"Thanks for today, you're cute Mark!" Jackson said as he exited Jaebum's car.
"No problem, thank you as well!"
Jackson suddenly leaned his head down and left a peck on Mark's cheek before leaving, like a little reward for what he had done today.

"Promise me you'll come everyday at the bar from now on." Jackson smirked.
"We'll see about that" Mark glared cutely at him while he was smiling.
"Ok, then, see you at uni! And thanks for taking me home Jaebum-hyung!" then Jackson left.

"You're just too adorable together." Jaebum started annoying Mark again.
"When will you stop teasing me, Jae, hmm?" Mark defended himself again.
"When you two will be a real couple, I know you both have feelings for eachother is obvious!"
"To be honest...I do like him." Mark said as he lowered a bit his head.
"Awww love birds! So sweet!" Jaebum bursted into laughter.
"We're not that cheesy!" Mark blushed violently as he tried to hide his hot red cheeks with his palms.
