Miracle, one in a million, or a magical coincidence. Whatever you'd like to call it but it was a fantasy you'd die to live.

One thing led to another and they started encountering more often. What used to be innocent and unexpected encounters, turned into planned up rendezvous. Of course, Jimin would never admit that he liked the company of the older. Mark would never deny that he did.

Three weeks after the incident they decided to meet up at the small café beside their school.

"Hey you" Mark flashed his notorious captivating smile towards the younger male who was sitting at a table in the farthest corner of the room.

"Hey you" Jimin's eyes had a sparkle in them, the older was mostly the reason behind it.

"Did you order yet?" Mark sat himself opposite to Jimin.

"No, I was waiting for you"

"Ah-did I make you wait too long?"

"No, not at all" The lavender-haired male chuckled and found it a bit amusing how Mark would worry about the smallest things.

Mark just nodded and started looking through the menu. He caught the younger staring at him and quite strangely, he just smiled back.
"Hey Jimin?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you like me?" The sudden question caught the younger off guard.

"Why do you say so?" He chuckled nervously.

"Because I think I like you too" Jimin's eyes widened. How could he say that so casually? But the older never ceased to amaze him.

"I-I-" Mark wasted no time grabbing his chin and crashing their lips together. Jimin was starstruck, mind-boggled and stupefied. It took him a few moments to process whatever was happening. But after getting himself together, he kissed back.

They were so deep into the kiss that they didn't realize when the waitress brought their orders to their table. She cleared her throat and said a nervous "Excuse me"

Both of them jerked away looking like a mess. Their lips were red but not much swollen. However, they were panting heavily to compensate for the time they almost forgot to breathe.

"Sorry" Jimin smiled a blinding smile and Mark just had his head low, clearly embarrassed. But none of them regretted any of it for even a micro second.

"So..." They were walking in the park with the sun about to go down, the incident from earlier playing on both their curious minds. Jimin never thought of himself as the one to like a boy but the world is a mysterious place.

"So..." Mark mimicked.

"That was..."

"Amazing" Mark wasn't so nervous anymore. He wiped his palms on his jeans, they had been sweating since they left the cafe.

"Mark?"

"Yes, Jimin"

"Will you go out with me?"

"It took you three weeks but sure"
Then they laughed like kids until the sun went down. They laughed like there was no tomorrow, like the moment would last forever and it did. Jimin would remember that day every time Mark crossed his mind long after he was gone.

The same night, Jimin introduced Mark to his mom.

She didn't take the news too well at first but calmed down some time later. Mark's grandmother already knew about Mark's sexuality and she absolutely loved Jimin.
