Johnny stopped the party earlier than usual and all the guests filed out except for Mark, and Haechan. Jaehyun would've stayed too but he had a drunk Taeyong wrapped around him who he needed to take home.

The three of them sat in Johnny's bedroom, comforting Mark who hasn't stopped crying since and is yet to say a word.

Johnny sits next to him, his arm around him lovingly, while a concerned Haechan sits opposite. Watching Mark like this made Haechan really upset and he gets teary-eyed just looking at him.

"Mark? Are you okay?" Johnny asks, still holding and comforting the crying boy.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry Johnny," Mark stutters through his tears, his head still down, not looking at anyone.

"What are you sorry for?" Johnny hugs him tighter. "That guy is an asshole, I hope I don't have to see his face again."

Mark starts crying harder, thankful that Johnny is so kind to him.

Johnny looks up at Haechan and mouths "get some water" to him. Haechan nods and leaves the room.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" asks Johnny softly, looking down at Mark.

Mark figured it was about time he told them. He lifts himself up and nods. His face is red and blotchy and his eyes bloodshot. He's still crying a bit but he tries to be strong.

Haechan comes back in with some water.

"Here you go," Haechan hands the cup to Johnny before sitting back down again.

Johnny tries hard to hold in his laughter but can't contain himself and giggles a bit. "Haechan, this isn't a water cup, it's an egg cup."

Mark looks up at the tiny amount of water in the egg cup and laughs.

"Oh, I thought it was just a fancy cup. Sorry,"

"It's okay," said Johnny handing it to Mark. "Here, this will REALLY quench your thirst."

Mark smiles at the egg cup with about 30ml of water in and drinks it, making Haechan smile.

"You can just say whatever you wanna say about him. We won't force you to say anything if you don't want to," says Johnny, moving his arm off Mark as he sits up more.

"No it's okay," he sniffs, "I think I sh-should have said this to you ages ago."

The two listen intently to what Mark says, about how he met Yuta a couple of years ago when he was a senior from another school.

"I thought- I thought I just liked him normally, but- but I," Mark breaks down and starts to cry heavily, his head hanging down and his hands covering his face.

"It's okay," Johnny moves closer to Mark and puts his warm arm around him, comforting him. Mark leans into Johnny's hug and cries even more. "It's okay Mark, I love you so much, no matter who you like. I wish you could've felt comfortable enough to tell me sooner, it breaks my heart to see you like this," Johnny puts a hand on Mark's head and pats him, "it doesn't matter who your preferences are, we still love you lots, right Haechan?"

Haechan had no idea what they were on about or why Mark was crying so much, but he agreed anyway.

Mark sat up and continued his story.

"I liked him a lot. And I wanted to spend lots of time with h-him. He eventually told me he li-likes me too. I was really happy. But- but, he- uh he-."

"It's okay, take your time," Johnny said reassuringly. Johnny looked at Haechan and noticed how upset he was seeing Mark upset, even though he had no idea what was going on. He gestured for Haechan to come and sit next to Mark so he got up and moved next to him, making Mark pull a little smile.

"Mark? Ca-can I hold your hand please?" Haechan said, his voice stuttering because he was close to tears.

Mark smiled and held his hand out, which Haechan took gently and held in his two warm hands, gently stroking Mark's thumb. Johnny smiled at the two of them.

"He said that he liked me too," continued Mark, "I was really really happy. I w-went to his house and I was really happy to be there w-with him. We kissed and that was my first kiss. He wanted to do other stuff as well b-but I was so scared! I hadn't done that be-before.

"I didn't want to do anything further than that but he said it- it was okay and I d-didn't need to be scared. But it didn't feel right. And I asked him to stop but-," Mark begins to cry harder. "He wouldn't li-listen to me! He took off my pants and-and, I didn't know what to do! He started touching me, so-so I shoved him off me and ran away from his house.

"I didn't speak to him after that, I-I was too scared to. I know he wanted to go further than that but I didn't want to, I didn't even wa-want him to touch me. I felt so gross after..."
Johnny puts an arm around Mark as he continues. "He was a good guy then, bu-but now he-he's just an asshole. And I'm so sc-scared of him."

Haechan squeezed Marks hand and started to cry silently while listening to him.

"I- I know he-he wanted to have s-sex, but I just didn't want to. I'm gl-glad I got out before an-anything bad happened, but I'm still haunted b-by it."

Mark started to cry again but tried his best not to. Johnny hugs him tighter before speaking.

"That disgusting pig. I'll fucking kill him if I see him again," said Johnny who was infuriated.

Haechan still didn't really know what was happening, but he knew how angry Johnny was and how sad Mark was and concluded that he also hates Yuta.

"And he's got the fucking nerve to show up here asking for you!? That fucking scum. I knew there was something weird about him."

"I-It's okay Johnny, it's in t-the past now," Mark stutters, lifting his head up to look at Johnny, who was pissed.

"THIS ISNT OKAY!" Johnny stands up out of anger, "THAT GUY IS A FUCKING DISGUSTING RAPIST AND PERVERT AND IF I SEE HIM AGAIN ILL RIP HIS HEAD OFF!"

Mark had never seen Johnny so pissed before, it made him glad to have a friend like him. Mark looked at Haechan who looked at Johnny in fear.

Mark squeezed Haechans hand and looked at him. "He's not mad at you Haechan, don't worry."

Haechan looked back at Mark and nodded, even though he was still a bit scared of Johnny.

"Mark? I'm sorry I didn't help you..." said Haechan sniffling.

"Don't worry Haechan, this happened before I knew you," said Mark reassuring Haechan, "thank you though. And thanks Johnny, for stopping him from coming in."

"Don't worry about it! I wasn't gonna let him in anyway," Johnny says humbly, "next time I see him though I'm gonna rip him to shreds."

~ Johnny is such a good guy tho yes!!! he cares so much for mark it's so sweet

~ poor mark tho! he had to come out and say about yuta all in one day. 🥺

~the reason why he denied liking haechan at the start was because of what happened with yuta. and he felt like if he said he liked haechan then it would mean that he likes Yuta, which he doesn't.

~ thanks for reading tho!!!! sorry this chapter is so long, have this pic as a token of my appreciation  ;))
