Chapter five: what's going on here

Mark pulled his car in front of jaemin's house and as he was about to open his door and help the younger out, he heard him busting into fits of cry.

Jaemin really couldn't help it. He had been homeschooled for a while before going there. And it was for a good reason. His social anxiety was probably one of the worse. He always tried to be the best version of himself towards others, but these negative thoughts kept coming at him and consuming his mind.

Mark didn't knew what to do so he did the only thing that he could, hug jaemin and tell him sweet words until he calmed down. It worked. As always Mark was really close to jaemin and always managed to understand the younger even when words couldn't reach his ears. He always knew what jaemin thought.

That being from them knowing each others since a while as they're brothers started dating a long time ago.

« I'm sorry.. » the younger couldn't help but hug a little tighter. Mark felt it and returned the gentle squeeze he received.

The dark silver haired boy pulled jaemin off the hug and cupped his cheeks.

« You don't need to cry over this. People in school aren't important, what they say about you doesn't matter, you worth more than this and you know that. » Mark really tried to cheer up jaemin and to make him understand, he wanted to avoid having to do this again to see jaemin cry like this again.

« You know I hate when you cry » Mark stretched jaemin cheeks apart in attempt to make him smile, and as always with mark lee it worked.

« It hurtsssss » jaemin hissed and tried to get away from his grip.

Marked only laughed it off and let go of the other boy who only massaged his cheeks to sooth the pain away.

« Now let's go in, jaehyun must be worried sick. »
« You say this as if you never met Johnny and his daddy behavior. » Jaemin sulked and went on about how Johnny would go all protective mode on him and drive him to school for the next mont- no, years.

Mark chuckled and stepped out his car only to be met by his furious boyfriend.

« Babe what you doin' here ? » mark was genuinely confused at why and how donghyuck was in front of him right now with a look on his face that screamed „I'm gonna kill you".
« Don't babe me ! Why are you with this bitch huh ? Am I not enough for you !? That you have to be head over heels for the new kid ?? » Haechan bursted at him.

It was all pure misunderstanding. But try telling donghyuck that, he would certainly slap you across the face. But mark was ready to risk it all.

« It's not what it looks like, it's jaehyun and Johnny's brother. Aka the brother they enlever wanted you to meet because of your sassy behavior. » Mark was being harsh on his words but it was the only way he had to shut his boyfriend up.
« Well why did you just fucking kiss him ?! » Donghyuck was it his limit after what he saw from renjun window.

When renjun looked up the window he let out a loud gasp causing his best friend to rush next to him, to them it looked like jaemin and mark kissed when they simply were talking.

« I did what now ?! » Mark couldn't believe his ears. Did donghyuck had shit in his eyes ?
« Look he is like my brother okay ? The only thing I did was preventing him from having a panic attack in school in front of everyone. He's in special need you dummy, Taeyong Jaehyun and Johnny asked me to look out for him. » Mark really wanted to tell donghyuck about the problem with jaemin so called special needs. He simply couldn't, it was not his place to tell.

Jaemin got out the car when he heard Mark being angry. He didn't talk and just kept looking at the two others, now three of you have a proper look next to the tanned male. There standing was renjun, classmate, seatmate and jaemin neighbor.
