Serotonin - Yumark˚

a couple days went by, (faster than mark's liking) but he was just glad they were able to finish the project. soon after everyone went home, jaemin saved yuta's number without him knowing and sent it to both mark and haechan in case they both 'needed it.'

mark didn't know what to do with this. his eyes scanned over the number saved into his phone repeatedly until he rolled his eyes and sighed. "maybe i should text him..." mark whispered to himself.

he hadn't heard from yuta since the whole study session and a growing curiosity grew inside mark, wondering what it was he was doing lately. the dude seemed to have no socials, or people in general who talked about him. no wonder he never recognized the boy.
the thought made him a little sad.

he wanted to be friends with yuta. but things weren't exactly going to plan.

especially not after that kiss.

mark shivered a bit, reminiscing about it. he still hadn't told haechan and jaemin about the kiss either. it wasn't necessarily their business, but it was eating mark up inside not being able to tell anyone. it's not like they would go around and tell everyone about it... well maybe jaemin. but he trusted them both to death, and he didn't think yuta really cared whether he told anyone.

he kissed him so that he would have a reason to drink during the game. not for any other reason. mark felt embarrassed but nonetheless grateful that yuta would be willing to kiss a dude for him.

mark sat up and paced around his room a bit before one again pulling out his phone. he took a deep breathe. why was he so nervous? it was just yuta. the boy he had just studied with. one little text shouldn't hurt.

mark opened up his messages and began thinking about what to send.

Yuta

hey, it's mark. the one you studied with a couple days ago,

mark palmed his head. he probably already knew what mark he was, he was the only mark in his grade. he erased the message.

Yuta

hey, it's mark. the dude you kissed lol

mark shook his head a laughed at himself. no way.

Yuta

hey, it's mark. i was just checking up on you and seeing if you would be at school tomorrow for the group project. haechan's going to be the presenter if that's okay.

sent.

mark reread the message a couple times sighing in relief. 'okay, that doesn't sound that nosey or creepy. just a friend wanting to check up on another friend. perfect.' mark thought to himself before launching himself back on his bed. he stayed there and looked at his phone, waiting for reply from yuta.

a ding woke mark up out of his accidental nap.
he sprung up, shook his head, and rubbed his eyes as he grabbed his phone, checking the notification. mark's eyes went wide in excitement. yuta had replied.

he unlocked his phone and sat up.

Yuta
