"Wait..." She noticed his expression. "You're gonna make your solo debut?!!"

"Sh...no one knows!" He laughed. "And this wasn't what I was supposed to tell you!"

"What the fuck, Mark..." She leaned in for a hug. "I'm so proud of you. I don't think I say that enough, man."

"Aw, man. Thanks for this." He hugged her back.

"I love you so much." She ruffled his hair, pulling away.

Exchanging 'I love yous' was very normal between them, but when Mark heard them after so many years from her mouth, his heart picked a fast pace and his cheeks turned red.

"I love you more." He said.

"What was it that you wanted to tell me, though?" She asked.

"Hm? Oh...um, it's kinda embarrassing." He said.

"You know what's even more embarrassing." She asked. "That night."

"What night?" He asked, frowning.

"That night when you peed your pants in front of me." She said.

"Man, I swear to god!" He groaned. "I'm gonna choke you."

"Kinky." She smirked.

"Dude!" He threw a pillow at her.

"Sir, this is violence." She playfully glared at him. "Marko, what is it?"

"Um...okay, so" He took a deep breath. "I might've had a crush on you when I left Canada."

Tiffany stared at him with a blank expression. "Wh...what?"

"I actually had a crush on you when I left...I think it was since...we were 10?" He looked up at the ceiling and then at her.

She just looked at her laptop once and then grabbed a pillow and screamed in it.

"You okay-" He asked, and she looked up at him with a red face.

"I can't fucking believe you liked me back!" She squealed.

"Liked you back? What- yo! You had a crush on me too?" He asked loudly and she shook her head and screamed into the pillow once again.

"You don't still like me that way, do you?" She asked.

"What? Pfft, no." He said.

Ouch.

"Oh. Cool." She nodded.

"You?" He asked.

"Haha, no way." She laughed.

There was an awkward silence between them. Both of them were staring into the space, not daring to continue the conversation.

"Actually..." They both started at the same time.

"Oh, you continue." Mark chuckled.

"No, you go first." She smiled.

"Uhm...yeah, so-" He started, but this time a knock on the door interrupted them.

Tiffany awkwardly got up and opened the door revealing Mark's dad.

"Did I interrupt something?" He asked.

"No, no." Mark shook his head.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, uncle?" Tiffany asked.

"Yeah, I came to tell you kids to go to sleep. It's 2 am, you guys can talk later." His dad chuckled.

"Yeah, he's right. I...I should go and sleep." Mark hurriedly got up.

His dad nodded and walked away.

"Goodnight, Mark." She said, and he nodded.

"Goodnight, Tiff." He leaned in for a hug.
