Safe place (Markhyuck)

29

After a week of being miserable with Jaemin, Jeno decides he better hang out with Haechan, it's been a while and he doesn't want to ruin every relationship in his life. When he gets there Haechan is excitedly waiting on the steps for him.
"Oh my god I've missed you. I thought telling you my secrets would make it so I could see you more." Jeno hugs him and hums softly.
"I'm sorry. I've been such a fuck up lately and I feel terrible." Haechan pouts and pulls him to sit on the steps.

"Start to finish tell me everything." He scoffs and plays with the seam on his pant leg.
"Renjun he uh kissed me, I'm sure Mark told you most of this." Haechan nods, smiling softly.
"I want to hear your side of the story." Jeno looks down and sighs.
"His previous boyfriend was a monster, he told me all about him and of course I wanted to help him get his things so he didn't get hurt. He tried the day before and was hurt pretty bad. He was excited and he kissed me and there is something about him that pulls you in and I kissed him back. I felt awful immediately, for doing it but also for not hating it and telling Jaemin, the love of my life, my soul mate was so hard. I thought for sure he would hate me and lose trust in me but he was able to forgive both of us and I vowed it would never happen again." He chuckles dryly.

"We all three sat that night talking about it and everything else under the sun and of course we had beer but we were aware of what we were doing for the most part." He pauses again with a smile.
"Jaemin said that he wanted a kiss too, because if Renjun meant what he said about both of us being pretty then he deserved one too, so they kissed. It was just so, beautiful and hot so it didn't even bother me when it continued. I watched them kiss for a long time then you know it built up from there, things happened. There was touching and moaning and eventually we made it to our bed and Jaemin fucked him." He giggles a little.

"He panicked the next day, thinking I wouldn't be ok but I was, we were. One thing led to another and it happened again, and I just keep thinking that if I wouldn't have kissed him in the first place nobody would be hurt right now." He hangs his head and Haechan rubs his back.
"I don't believe that. First off I don't think you regret it at all and second You guys would have found a way to each other, I mean I keep trying to tell Renjun this too but he." He stops talking when he notices the surprise and heartbreak on Jeno's face.
"You've talked to him? He's blocked our numbers." Jeno says sadly.
"We just want to know if he's ok, I feel like shit for hurting him that badly that he can't even read our messages." He looks down to the ground.
"We've talked a few times, he's feeling better already and he's coming home next week." Haechan says softly.

"We never meant to hurt him at all but we weren't able to admit to each other how we felt, in fear of hurting each other. We still haven't really talked about it, we've both tried but its so hard." He puts his head in his hands.
"I miss him so much, I want him back. This time I'll hold him and kiss him more and love him. I know with all my heart that Jaemin feels the same. He's been a wreck, he misses him too. We both really want to apologize you know?" Haechan nods and taps his leg. He hugs Jeno as tightly as he can.
"I'm just glad everything is out in the open and I can have my best friend back. We need to be able to talk about our relationships and everything else so let's go, we are going tonight to get our matcha lattes at Mark's place and we will see if he's talked to Renjun today and I can show you how far I've come." Jeno looks proudly at his best friend and stands and holds his hand out which Haechan gladly accepts.

Mark is bored, it's been really slow tonight and he doesn't want to text Haechan since he knows him and Jeno were going to spend time together. He wipes tables down and turns quickly when the bell rings. He smiles when he sees Chenle and Jisung have come here on a date tonight.
"Hi guys, how is school going?" Chenle smiles and hugs him, he's grown quite fond of Mark since they've known each other and Jisung has already expressed his jealousy. Of course Chenle said he was being silly.
"School is school but you know that." Mark chuckles and goes to make their drinks when Jungwoo comes from the back.

"Mark can you please run over to the store for me? Our milk supplier doesn't come until 10 am and I won't have enough almond milk to get us through the morning rush." Mark quickly agrees and heads to the store, it's only a block away so it won't take long anyway.
When he returns with the 4 cartons he bought, his arms are aching but that doesn't stop Jungwoo from having him serve the booth in the corner. He grabs the matcha green tea lattes and heads over, grumbling under his breath how most people come to the counter to get it themselves. He puts on a smile and rounds the booth almost dropping the drinks.

"Haechanie?" He looks at the two and his heart swells. Jeno takes the tray from him and Haechan stands to hug him. He buries his face in Mark's neck, breathing in his scent and leaves some light kisses there. He looks up at him and Mark can't help but kiss him softly on the lips. It's doesn't last long as Mark knows he's at his work place. Haechan sits and pats the spot next to him and Mark automatically sits, forgetting he's still on shift. He looks over at Jeno who is weeping in his spot.
"What's wrong?" He asks grabbing his hand, thinking it's about Renjun again.
"Other than the obvious, nothing. I'm so fucking happy to see Haechan happy. I'm a little overwhelmed but so fucking happy." Mark and Haechan smile at him then Mark turns his attention to the younger.
"How are you feeling?" Haechan smiles and shows him his steady hands.
"I'm so good. Jeno and I are having such a good night, sharing our feelings and shit." Haechan says making the other two laugh.

"Mark I don't pay you to visit, you know?" Jungwoo asks.
"But I guess tonight I could possibly let you go early if they don't mind hanging with you." Mark laughs and stands up.
"No, this is their night and I need the money so I'll keep working ." He kisses Haechan softly again and starts to walk away.
"Have you heard from him today?" Jeno asks him, making him stop in his tracks.
"All I know for today is that he feels a lot better. He didn't say much else." Jeno nods.
"Can you tell him that we miss him, so much?" Mark nods and walks away solemnly. He secretly takes picture of the two in the booth and sends it to Jaemin and taking a chance of getting blocked himself he sends it to Renjun too, explaining how happy he is that Haechan has come this far. He doesn't know just how much this affects Renjun with his simple reply of "that's good" but he hopes it doesn't rub salt in his wound.
Haechan and Jeno stay as long as they can just to work on him some more. Mark introduces him to the sweet younger workers and he even talks a little to Jungwoo this time.

Jeno can't figure out if his tears that keep falling are happy or sad or a mixture of both. When Mark clocks out the two are there waiting for him but Jeno bids his goodbye to Haechan early.
"I'm so proud of you. I can't even express just how happy I am about your progress and the fact that you and Mark are so happy and I think you guys are great for each other." He hugs him.
"I'm going to go home from here, you walk with your man." He smiles softly at him and winks at Mark.
They walk with their fingers laced, arms swinging like silly kids and of course stop every now and then for a peck on the lips.
"I'm glad you and Jeno had such a good night, you guys needed it." Haechan nods and smiles happily.
"I should come to your work more often, you're sexy when you make coffees." Mark's face is immediately red as he coughs, not expecting that at all.
They kiss goodnight with the usual promise to see each other the next day.
