Bye, My First

The heck am I doing? It's so dry here. And, he is not talking that much.
Kim Jungwoo, get a hold of yourself.

That mental preparation was useless there. Jungwoo's heart was beating like crazy and he could hear it too. Bet Jaehyun can hear it too but that man was too calm and Jungwoo can't even read his face.
A knock was heard on the door and as expected, it was Haechan. "Ohh?? Jungwoo hyung!!" He came and hugged Jungwoo like a koala not letting go. Both of them sat down on the couch but Haechan was still holding Jungwoo. "Yah!! Let go. It's suffocating."
Jungwoo knows that Haechan wants to ask about Mark but he cannot. "Mark is with Renjun and Jeno Jaemin. You don't need to butter up to me. Anything else?"
Haechan was speechless as Jungwoo gave what he wanted. "Hyung, I don't think I can ever get over him."

"Get over who?" This time, it was Jaehyun who is talking. He didn't know anything about Mark and Haechan. He was completely clueless as he was too busy with Taeyong. At least that's what Jungwoo thought.
"Jaehyun hyung!" Now Haechan has to tell Jaehyun everything. Jaehyun knows Haechan too well that he cannot just lie to him.
"Hyung, don't tell anyone about this. Jungwoo hyung knows about it but you cannot tell anyone except you and Jungwoo hyung."

Without further delay, Haechan told everything about Mark. "It's not that complicated. It's not like you and Renjun are in a relationship. You can still fix it."
It's easy to say so but it's not that easy to fix it. "Hyung, it's not that easy." Jungwoo kept silent as he knows that it's not easy. Jaehyun and Haechan kept on talking about what needs to be done.
"Sometimes it's better to give up on something. It's of no use even if you try. You still cannot fix it. It is bound to fail anyway."
Jungwoo couldn't help but feel for Haechan. He is in the same situation as Haechan but different. Haechan still have a chance with Mark because Mark also feels the same way about Haechan.

Doyoung's room was filled with Yuta's blabbering. It was quite noisy. Taeyong was sitting still not moving an inch.
"Hyung, can you please quite it down?"
Doyoung can't take it any longer. Yuta kept on talking nonstop. "Can't you tell that I'm trying to keep the tension between you and Taeyong low? As soon as we arrive here, he's stuck to that couch and you're murmuring to yourself or more like you don't want us to here. If you don't want us here, then we'll leave."
Yuta was right about one thing. Doyoung kept on murmuring to himself. He wanted them to stay somewhere else because he's so stressed but what to do? Taeyong cleared out his room just for the other team and same goes with Yuta. "It's not like that. I just have a lot on my mind. Sorry. Feel free. I'll be in my room." Doyoung excused himself quickly before things get escalated. "I'll call Mark and let him know that we're coming to Renjun's dorm. I can't stay here any further. We'll just squeeze in his room."
Yuta did take Doyoung's permission before coming in his room but what's so wrong with them staying here for a few days? Yuta went outside to call Mark and it was Taeyong and Doyoung alone in the dorm. Taeyong knocked on Doyoung's door. Seeing that it was Taeyong who was standing in front of his door, Doyoung lost his speech and let him inside.
"Yuta called Mark and we'll be staying in Renjun's dorm, so don't worry. Sorry for troubling you and about Yuta." Taeyong turned the doorknob but a pair of arms that hugged him from behind stopped him. Taeyong slightly opened the door not knowing what to do. "Hyung, I'm sorry for acting that way. I shouldn't have." Doyoung burst out an apology. Taeyong, not knowing what to do, he just patted Doyoung's hand that was on his waist, "It's okay. We all have our bad days."

"Hyung, it's not about you and Yuta hyung staying here. It's about me misunderstanding you and Jaehyun. You are trying to help him but I ruined it." Taeyong turned his face to Doyoung and looked in his eyes. "Do you know that I don't have eyes for anyone but you? It has always been you and no one else. Jaehyun is just like a younger brother to me and you know it more than anyone." Taeyong tried comforting Doyoung as he knows how the younger must have felt when he learnt that Taeyong was just helping Jaehyun.
"I don't want those 2 years to go to waste. We have already come this far and I want to go on this journey with you by my side. If I don't have you, then it's meaningless....."
The door opened wide and there was Yuta. He was in shock. Eyes wide and mouth wide opened. "You two are in a relationship? You didn't even care to inform me? Ahh..... this wouldn't have happened if I had known." Taeyong was so confused about what Yuta was saying but Doyoung knew what he was talking about.

Meanwhile in Renjun's dorm, Jeno and Jaemin always stick to each other while Mark was in such an awkward situation. He wanted to strike a conversation but he felt that it was wrong and that he shouldn't talk to Renjun. It's like he has done something wrong to Renjun. "Hyung, I think you should talk to Haechan after all." Mark was really surprised when Renjun approached him but he act like he's not surprised and replied to Renjun. "Well, I don't think there's anything that's left to talk. He has already given his answer and I cannot change that. It's like he has already decided what he needs to do."
Renjun was not convinced at all. He kinda knew that Mark still wanted to have a chance with Haechan. "Hyung, if you keep on delaying like that, I don't think he's gonna be available for a long time. There's a girl in our class that's been hitting on him for quite a long time. She ain't giving up and hyung, you'll be late." Mark looked at Renjun with his eyes wide open. Renjun just nodded as if he's saying that Mark should hurry up. "Btw, why are you telling me that? Aren't you happy with Haechan?"
Renjun just scoffed at Mark and, "Pfft...hyung, do I look happy with him? It's just him who is happy because he's pestering me and teasing me. He's having fun just like that and moreover, he always talk about you, hyung. At the end of the day, it's always you, hyung. He always ends his conversation with 'Mark hyung'. He has not given up on you yet. He's just playing hard to get, hyung."

What???? What's with this kid? Why is he telling me all of this? All this time I was misunderstanding them. It was just Haechan pestering Renjun.

Mark was grinning from ear to ear. Renjun just looked at Mark and smiled to him.

Haha...he looks like a real kid. Lee Haechan, you should be happy that I did your job. Cowards.
"Hyung, you know what? You two are real cowards." Renjun went out of his room leaving Mark alone with Jeno and Jaemin.

Well, at least Mark and Haechan's problem is solved. All we need is Jaehyun and Jungwoo to go the right path.

Ah....you must be surprised about Taeyong and Doyoung. I'll get into details later on. Don't worry.
