Change of Heart|MarkRenLeHyuck

Mark x Renjun x Chenle x Donghyuck

If we've read that MarkLe one-shot, then we know that posting lyrics gives me a little bit of anxiety so I'm just gonna say again, please don't steal them. Inspiration is fine but you know copying word for word is wrong so don't do it. I'm also not expecting to be the best so if the lyrics are awful to you, then they're awful to you. It's what I came up with, it's what you get. Carry on :)

Two years. It has been two years since that damn winter evening that seems to have been the catalyst for everything since then. Mark falling for Renjun, Renjun falling for Mark, Donghyuck watching and being supportive, that one night where Mark seemed to love him again, only for him to be even colder than the winter the next day, getting back together, hurting Renjun while Renjun tried to pretend it didn't hurt, falling for Renjun too in secret, meeting Chenle, competing with Chenle, and the most recent event: losing.

How had time gone by so fast?

How had any of this even happened?"

Donghyuck swears that one winter evening, they were normal. Him and Mark were hanging out like normal and Donghyuck decided to embarrass him by singing "It's the most single time of the year" over Justin Biebers "Mistletoe". Mark told him to stop because he'd make people think they should be dated, prompting Donghyuck to tease him about their failed for relationship for the millionth time because Marks reaction was so funny. And then Renjun had appeared, gloomy as ever, with their hot chocolates and Mark stared. Once Renjun had left, Donghyuck teased Mark again like the wonderful best friend he is and then he'd watch Mark and Renjuns feelings for each other bloom and he hadn't felt a pinch of hurt or jealousy. It was literally just watching his best friend fall stupid in love with a guy.

But that one winter night, he could feel a difference. He pretended it wasn't happening because it shouldn't have happened. Yet, Mark still made him feel warm and fuzzy and when Mark looked at him the way he did, Donghyuck didn't question, didn't even say a flat out "No" when Mark leaned in to kiss him. He had asked "Are you sure?" and Mark just smiled and kissed him. Only to disappear off the face of the planet the next day. Donghyuck spent a week enraged, swearing off anything to do with Mark left and right, cursing Mark and himself for being idiots, and then Mark appeared on his porch while it was snowing, begging to talk and by that night, they were dating again. 

Now, it's been two months since their second breakup and six months since he met his replacement. Chenle.

Donghyuck doesn't hate Chenle, well he tries not to hate Chenle, but at best, his feelings towards him consist of deep resentment and detestation. It is truly unfair. While Mark couldn't seem to handle him at any point, Chenle got away with everything Donghyuck couldn't. And at first, Donghyuck, could not, for the life of him, understand why. 

But then, Donghyuck saw the Mark looked at him change. Instead of pretending like he hated everything Chenle did, he started to smile and look happy. He started calling Chenle cute and he just let him in the way Donghyuck never got to be. Chenle, at least, had the decency to look apologetic and uncomfortable when he realized that Donghyuck was not exactly enjoying him be all over his boyfriend, but Mark had never asked him to stop.

A lot of words came out the day he ran into them last month, hand-in-hand outside the convenience store he'd just come out of. He unleashed it all on the sidewalk, completely blocking out the passersby. Chenle had looked shocked and sympathetic while Mark went through at least four emotions and ended on anger. And of course, he had to defend Chenle and maybe Donghyuck doesn't exactly blame him for that one but it had been such a slap in the face. Mark had truly let years of history go down the drain and Donghyuck had realized exactly how little he meant to Mark.
