"hyung! wake up! we have something important to do!"

mark opened his eyes to see the image of someone straddling him, trying to wake him up. the moment he realized that the boy on top of him is not his boyfriend, he freaked out and kicked him off the bed, him falling on to the floor and hitting his head in the process.

"ow...my head..." renjun winced in pain as he held his head, eyes shutting for a moment. he opened his eyes after a quiet moment to see mark completely astonished, jaw dropped in shock. "oh finally, you're awake! i was trying to call you for probably 15 minutes right now."

"what the fuck are you doing in my apartment?!" mark screamed, covering himself with the blanket as if he didn't already know the intruder for 3 or 4 years. "i swear, i thought we were over our relationship-"

"that's not why i brought myself here, idiot," renjun said nonchalantly as he placed a finger over his lips, cutting him off. "he was gone missing and me along with everyone else were trying to find him."

"say what again?!" mark exclaimed, not ready to believe what he just heard. "he's gone missing?! why didn't you tell me this before!"

"hyung, calm down, we've been searching for him ever since we heard the news," renjun tried to calm the panicking hyung down, but to no avail. "it's fine, he must have not gone far."

"says you," mark scoffed as he feverishly picked up his phone and started calling his actual friends who would help in such a situation. "you don't even care about anyone but yourself."

renjun fell silent at the insults being spewed at him as he looked intently at mark who was trying to call jungwoo. after what it felt like an hour, jungwoo picked up the call, his voice raspy and out of breath. "i'll call you later, we have something to do right now-"

"hyung, is it true that he...went missing?!" mark was at the verge of tears as his voice faltered, worrying painfully about his safety.

"yes, we're trying to find him for 4 hours straight, we even called the cops, but we haven't found him yet," jungwoo said, defeat lacing his tone. he hung up immediately after, not ready to be the first one hear mark's heart break.

mark's phone almost dropped from his hands as he closed his eyes and sighed, tears flowing from his eyes. he collapsed on the floor, sniffling silently as he did. "this...was all my fault. i should have been there for him when i had the chance...why am i such an idiot..."

all words left his mouth as he cried his heart out, hands covering his face. he knew he would never get that certain person in his dreams, without having a catastrophe at one point or another, and fate wanted him to suffer.

renjun, on the other hand, looked lifelessly at the suffering hyung in front of him, crying silently at his suffering. he approached him, having no idea what to do or how to handle the situation.

all of a sudden, mark was brought into an embrace, the younger's hands silently and slowly caressing over his head, in a desperate effort to calm him down. renjun wrapped his hands around his nape gently, letting him cry over his shoulder.

mark, on the other hand, unexpectedly accepted the hug as he cried on to the younger's shoulders. he wrapped his hands around renjun's waist tightly, as if he was embracing the brunette himself. renjun's endeavour of calming mark down somehow worked, as his sobs diminished into occasional sniffles.

the moments passed by in pure serendipity...until mark realized who exactly he was embracing and spending his tears on.

he groaned as he pushed renjun harshly off, resulting in him hitting a table, knocking it off its place. "don't come near me..." he said bitterly as he started crying again. "i don't want to see your fucking face ever again."
