mark doesn’t bother with the door when his roommate enters, his front facing the wall as he curled up under his sheets. clothes are strewn everywhere after a whole day of schedules, which is unlikely because mark always picks them up (jackson’s included) and puts them away once he chances on them. it’s been a month since he started being withdrawn, often retreating into his room when they finish schedules, and he can feel it taking a toll on his relationship with the members. he mumbles a sleepy “you’re here,” when he hears the door click shut, barely looking up.
jackson enters the room half-naked, one towel wrapped around his waist and another over his shoulder. jackson always felt closest to mark, since they slept in the same room and their interests usually lined up together but ever since a month ago, mark had changed. he stopped playing along with him and every time jackson tried to initiate conversation, he was always shot down. nowadays, jackson just stayed quiet and when he hears the male speak, he replies with a simple “yeah, shower’s free if you want it.” after those words, he quickly starts changing, throwing a shirt and some boxers on.
