Renjun could feel his stomach drop. That familiar feeling of nausea creeping up, his stomach churning as he struggled to force down the lump that formed in his throat.

Why did Mark do this to him?

Why did he have to lead him on?

The way Mark would touch him, hold him, kiss him, talk sweetly to him, wipe his tears when he cried. Was that suddenly all for nothing? Did all of this mean nothing to him?

Renjun was stunned. His mind a mess as he couldn't find his voice. He couldn't find the words he so desperately wanted to shout. His hands wanted to punch him. Slap the man who hurt him so. But at the same time, those hands wanted to pull him in, tell him everything would be okay between them.

His eyes stung as he stared at Mark, tears brimming his vision as everything was suddenly a blur. Taking a step back, his back collided with the door, his hand finding the knob as he held onto it. He was hoping Mark would speak up, stop him from leaving. But what Renjun was met with was silence.

Marks words still rang loudly in his head, like a never ending record. Each time it played, it would only hurt him more.

"You're just a fling."

A fling. A fling huh?

Do flings kiss, hold hands, dance under the refrigerator lights, share clothes, meet each others families and friends, make love to one another, call each other pet names, and spend the night with each other?

Do flings tell each other "I love you?"

Renjun wanted to tell him all those things, but he still couldn't speak. His lips trembled as he stared down at the floor, his tears finally hitting the floor as he watched them form a small puddle by his feet.

Mark could see Renjun's tears falling as his heart clenched. Mark has made many people cry, but seeing Renjun cry because of him made his heart shatter. He wanted to wipe each tear that fell, but his body held him back as guilt and regret consumed him.

Opening the door, Renjun was met with the dark sky. The moon illuminated the night as Renjun took one step out the door. Rain poured down as it was already hitting the top of his hair. His shoes landing in a puddle as he took a shaky breath, goosebumps already taking over his body.

"I'll get my things tomorrow" Renjun whispered, his voice cracking as he spoke.

Mark felt his stomach drop, something he didn't think he would feel. It was as if he didn't want this to happen. He wanted to go back in time, change the things he said, and fix the damage he created.

But how could he possibly do that now?

"I'll have your stuff in boxes for you" Mark told him, cursing his mind at his harsh words.

But this was what he wanted right? He wanted the single life. He was never meant to be tied down to just one man.

He was a player, a fuck boy, he never dated before. So why would he date now?

But after all these years, all these moments, all these memories he made with Renjun, could he really let go?

"O-Okay. I guess we're done" Renjun whispered, the door slightly closing, Mark no longer seeing him as his heart rate quickened.
