Haechan quickly stepped backwards, covering his mouth to prevent himself from making any noise. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he didn't know what to do, either. His mind told him to run back to his friends and pretend as if nothing happened, so that's just what he did.

Mark didn't know what to do, either. When his and Sicheng's lips separated, his cheeks almost immediately went pink; he was glad it was dark and Sicheng couldn't see.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn’t have done that--I'm an idiot-" he quickly stood up from his laying position and brushed off his clothes. "I'm gonna go home. Can you tell Jae that I didn't feel good?" He asked and began jogging away. Sicheng tried calling his name, but Mark didn't bother to look back.

Sicheng's eyes fell on Mark's spot, seeing that he left both his Mandu trash and his Rilakkuma plushie that the brunette had given him. His dark eyes saddened and he just stayed laying down, watching the last of the fireworks go off.

Donghyuck met back up with his friends and Jaehyun by some stands that were selling souvenirs. He tried pretending that nothing had happened and that he just left to use the restroom, so he placed a fake smile on his face.

"Haechan, where have you been? You missed most of the fireworks!" Jeno scolded, pointing up at the sky that was completely dark once again.

Chenle tapped Jeno's shoulder. "He said he was going to the bathroom. Maybe he saw the fireworks from somewhere in that area?" He assumed, and Jeno just sighed. Haechan smiled to himself in relief, knowing that no one saw him going to see Mark.

"Have you seen Mark and Sicheng, Haechan? The show's over, so they should be coming back." Jaehyun looked aroundx scanning the crowd to see if Sicheng or Mark were visible.

Donghyuck shook his head. "No, I haven't seen either of them-"

"Mark home...went." Sicheng's voice entered the conversation, making everyone's heads turn to look at him. He was holding Mark's plushie in his arms, hiding most of his face so that just his eyes were visible.

Jaehyun cocked an eyebrow. "What? Why?" He questioned with an irritated tone.

"He say he sick..."

Jae sighed, scratching the top of his head. "I told him not to eat all that food earlier-"

"You sound like a mom." Chenle interrupted, and the boys broke out into a giggle. Jaehyun shot the young boy a cold glare. "I'm gonna go over to his house to check on him--I'll give this back to him, too." Jaehyun reached over and tugged on one arm of the Rilakkuma, but Sicheng just held onto it tighter.

"No!" Donghyuck suddenly interrupted, moving over to Sicheng and Jae, grabbing a hold of the other arm. "I'll take it--I'll check up on him, too." He mumbled, looking anywhere but Jaehyun and especially Sicheng.

The two older boys exchanged looks until Sicheng gave up the plushie. "Don't mess it up, please." He requested to Donghyuck, and the shorter brunette nodded.

"Why are you home so early?" Mark's mom questioned from her spot in the kitchen, looking over her shoulder to see her son walking through the front door.

Mark slipped off his shoes, placing them neatly by the door. "I didn't feel good, so I came home." He informed the woman, then walked off to his bedroom.

He shut the bedroom door behind him and threw himself onto his bed, digging his face into his soft pillow.

He can't believe what he did. What was he thinking?

He assured himself that he didn't like boys, but when he kissed Sicheng--it was as if some sort of firework inside of him went off. He was confused at this point, really. But, what made him feel worse was that he ran off, not giving Sicheng any time to process what had happened.

So there Mark sat, his face in his pillow with confusing and guilty thoughts bouncing around his head until he found himself drifiting into slumber, but was woken up at the sound of his mom opening his door.

"Mark, there's a boy at the door who wants to see you." She said, her head peeking into his room before she left. Mark's heart began racing. Was it Sicheng? He knew it wasn't Jaehyun, since his mom treats the boy like another son and would be talking to him nonstop.

It could be Jeno, maybe? Mark tried to make his anxiety go away by giving himself reassuring thoughts, but as he stood up, his legs began trembling.

He slowly made his way to the opened front door, dragging his feet across the dark hardwood flooring of his home. He looked at the floor as he approached the door and gave out a weak,"Hello?"

"Hiya." Donghyuck's familiar voice filled Mark's ears, making him quickly lift his head. He was greeted by his large plushie that covered most of Haechan's body, including his face, waving his arm which was the doing of the brunette, of course. Mark couldn't help but chuckle.

Donghyuck smiled behind the Rilakkuma, but it turned into a frown after he realised what he was here for.

He brought the plushie down from his face and his eyes met with Mark's. "Actually, Mark...I have something to talk to you about." He said, changing the atmosphere around the two rather quickly. Mark tensed up, and his anxiety was building up yet again.

What did Haechan see or do this time?
