The group had hung out twice again after that day they went to visit Itsuki which meant they'd seen each other three times before going back home but before that seok wanted to see Itsuki so they made plans and stuck to it.
It wasn't he first time Jackie and Itsuki had met alone in person before making it a lot easier for Itsuki who arrived at the small café he and Daichi went a couple of times together and waited for the other.
Jack arrived early too and was surprised but happy to see Itsuki there too meaning they both had more time together.
Jack immediately hugged Itsuki and chuckled as he greeted
"Hello my child~"
Causing Itsuki to chuckle and say
"Hello mom~"
back with a wide grin.
They both sat down since Itsuki already ordered the drinks when he arrived not to long before so seok began by asking
"How are you doing after this week and with your Granny being away?"
Since he normally led the conversation until Itsuki got used to it because he was still a shy bean who needed bringing out of his shell.
Itsuki smiled before answering
"Surprisingly good. Your group of friends are really nice and it makes me feel better knowing that I already know you and Billie "
This made him smile as he genuinely replied
"I'm glad. Everyone really likes you and kito and Jun are already planning another trip up here to visit you. And Daichi of course but they've openly said they can harass Daichi anytime and they want to see you specifically to get to know you better. and the other was in on it too but he realised how busy his schedule was in comparison to the youngest's..."
Itsuki could see seok's eyebrows pushing together as he thought deeper about it and eventually replied
"I'd like to see them too but I'm not to sure yet if I'd be okay with just them. It's not that they aren't nice or I don't like them it's just... I wouldn't know what to say, I barely do now. Like how do you talk to people? How does one make friends?"
After taking a sip of his drink.
Jack joined in with the half rhetorical half serious questions by asking
"How does one accidentally date friends friend?"
Laughing lightly at the end.
Itsuki raises his glass to Jack and said
"Touché and the answer is ask Daichi . He appeared out of no where then stayed which I might've cried over..."
trailing off as a light blush spread across his face.
Jack smiles proudly, cooing internally way more than he was verbally because he didn't want to spook him with his internal screaming .
Instead he cooed
"My little Itsukie is so sweet and soft and delicate. I'm so happy you can admit that to me. And I'll be honest, I might've cried all that night when you told me you got a boyfriend. I was so proud and ready to threaten him if he hurt you. Which works out well because Daichi knows I'll stab a bitch."
Which started off sweet and ended sassy.
Typical seok.
Itsuki chuckled as he sang
"I love you jackie~"
Getting it back equally as sweetly as seok said
"I love you too Itsukiee~ I wouldn't stab a bitch for just anyone. I wouldn't want to risk their germs spreading to me."
Itsuki smiled sheepily as he asked
"You always make me laugh. You know that?" Wanting to make sure he knew and understood how appreciated it was since he knew him had formally been bullied over many things; one of which being his jokes.
All of the things he was didn't understand as jack was handsome, kind, funny, caring, charitable, cuddly, affectionate, sassy and a total cutie when in and out of little space.
Jack sassily replied
"That's my job. It's also a game between me, mom Jack , and dad Bill."
Causing Itsuki to laugh and asked
"Do you mean Billie"
Jack nodded proudly before stating
"Exactly. Dad Bill. Bonus points if you end up on the floor and triple points if we make Daichi laugh."
Itsuki started to day dream slightly as he commented
"Daichi has a really pretty laugh and smile..." Getting a small chuckle form Jack.
he smiles adoringly at his younger friend and honestly felt proud and happy for him.
But instead of showing how soft and emotional he was actually feeling he expressed it through memes by teasing
"Your whipped for him already. Oh my."
Itsuki whined
"JACKIE."
Because of this Causing both to laugh before Jack defended
"It's true. Anyways let's catch up Itsukie before I have to go. I want to know everything with you and Daichi . Make me bust a uwu."
And so Itsuki complied decided the best way to start was simply to say
"Okay well..."
The conversation quickly switched from topic to topics since here was so much and it was safe to say and uwu was busted before Jack left.
The goodbye was emotional but both were extra and easily attached so it was predictable but luckily for them both their boyfriends were there.
And that's where the seven parted there ways.
