If it can't be you

🌌Dream 29🌌

Days passed, the couple was just happy to be with each other.

Phuwin never fails to deliver and get Fourth to the university. Fourth was really happy, though he was also worried. Mark's been MIA for 3 days now. Come to think of it, the last time he so Mark was at the Mall's Food court.

He felt so guilty, he's been so happy spending time with his Faen that he forgot about his best friend.

He called Mark, the phone's not off but it's just ringing.

He decided to send him a Line.

<Fourthhhh> Hey my dearest Fuen, where are you?

Five minutes passed no response.

<Fourthhhh> Are you mad at me?

Still nothing.

<Fourthhhh> Don't be mad at me. I'm heading to your place after class. I love you, friend.

After sending the last Line, he decided to call Phuwin.

" Hey baby, what's up? Did your classes finish early and you need me to pick you up?"

"Hi Win, uhm... I called to say that you don't have to pick me up today."

"What? Why?"

"Uhm, I I want to visit Mark. He's been absent since Monday."

"Oh. I'll take you there."

"But..."

"I won't fight with your friend. I won't even go up.

I'll bring you there and wait downstairs. Don't worry about me waiting, you can call me or message me if your done, I can wait in a cafe or something."

"But I don't want you to..."

"I'm fine, i'd rather wait for you than spend time worrying and overthinking. Do this for me."

"Okay Win. Thank you."

During one of class break, Fourth decided to stay at the library. Mark wasn't at school and he did not want to make an effort to line up for a meal.

Out of nowhere, Gem suddenly showed up.

He was having a good and pleasant time with Phuwin, he did not want to ruin that if Phuwin found out that he interacted with Gem.

He attempted to leave but Gem grabbed his arm.

"Hey" Gemm said to Fourth.

"What do you want?" Fourth said coldly but not too loud.

"Your friend, where is he?" Gem asked. Fourth gave a psuuzled look.

"Friend... Who..."

"Your friend... It's not like you have many. The one who acts like your butler."

"The hell is your problem?"

"I'm just asking where your friend is, Mark. Where is he?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Do you know or no?"

"Hmmm, he's probably at home. I'm heading there after class.''

"I stopped by yesterday, there's no one home." Gem said softly.

"Maybe he is sleeping. I'll still check, if not I'll try hiss parents place." Fourth said absentmindedly, talking to himself more than Gem.

"Let me go with you."

"No!"

"The hell!"

"Why do you need to know where Mark is?"

"Not that it's any of your business but I do have something important I need to discuss with him."

"Call him."

"Let me just join you, don't make it a big deal."

"I can't Phuwin will take me, I don't want any troubles."

"Fine, I'll just follow you guys, I'll talk to Win myself. You won't get into troubles."

"Why can't you just call Mark?"

"He... He's not taking my calls."

"Hmmm, Meet me at the school gate later. I need to call Win."

After parting with Gem, Fourth decided to contact Mark again, he did not know what business Gem had with Mark, he did not want to unintentionally put mark in any troubles.

Mark phone, once again just rang but he did not pick up so Fourth just sent him a message.

<Fourthhhh> Hey, I'm really worried about you. I'll come by later okay. Oh Phuwin's brother wass looking for you, he said he'll come to your place. What'ss your deal with him?"

<M4rkisMark>I'm not at home, I'm okay, i'm not mad, I'm just busy. There's no need to come to my place.

<Fourthhhh> You are alive! Where are you. I'll come. Why aren't you answering your phone?"

<M4rkisMark> I was asleep, pluss I have sore throat. Don't call. Don't worry about me, I'll prob'ly go to school next week. I' just sorting through something. Don't tell Gem my parents address.

<Fourthhhh> Do you have a problem with him?"

<M4rkisMark> No. We were discussing some electives but I bailed on him, he is kinda mad. No biggie. I won't be messaging you for the time being. Let's talk Monday okay.

<M4rkisMark> Fourth, I love you, friend. Thank you for checking in on me. You are all I have.
