Mark is a bundle of nerves the next morning. It seems to be a common occurrence, one that he would find frightening if he had not become used to the wave of nausea that washes over him whenever he enters the University.
This morning, he decided that he would leave earlier than normal. He knew that Donghyuck arrived an hour earlier than when the university is set to open, and planned to arrive before Donghyuck to corner him for a chance to talk. The previous night he couldn't express what he wanted to through text. His apology wasn't as sincere as he intended it to be, and he was sure that if he hadn't already, he surely pissed Donghyuck off by the end of their conversation.
Mark decides to lie in wait by the vending machines. The school was fairly empty, aside from the few teachers and staff that mulled around. They ignored his presence, walking around with cups filled with steaming coffee, so he had no need to worry about being asked about his reason for arriving so early.
He fidgets with the hem of his jacket while he waits, picking at the denim using the nail of his index finger with his eyes trained on the door. He can see down past the steps, across the expanse of the parking lot. He watches pointedly, damn near jumping out of his skin at the familiar sight of Donghyuck's figure approaching the steps. He shifts from his slouch to stand up straight, nervously fixing his fringe when Donghyuck enters the building.
