It was the same night; or, now it was technically morning as it was nearly three am, but Mark couldn't sleep. On the other side of the bed, Haechan was the complete opposite. He was tightly holding onto one of Mark's stuffed animals and curled up into a ball with the thick blanket on top of him.

Mark was awake from the thought of Haechan asking if he had tried talking to Sicheng and Jaehyun, which his answer was no. Now, the only thing he could think about was Sicheng's contact; still unused, sitting in his phone. Should he text him and apologize? He probably isn't even awake at this hour--Sicheng seems like the type of boy to go to sleep at 8pm.

But Mark picked up his phone anyways and turned it on, the bright light making him shut his eyes. He was worried that he had woken up Donghyuck, but the only thing the younger boy did was shuffle a bit and brought the blanket closer to his face.

Mark's assumption about Sicheng going to bed early was proved false. What in the heck could Sicheng possibly be doing up at three in the morning? Well, Mark couldn't say that about Sicheng, because here he was, wide awake when he should be fast asleep by now.

Mark put his phone down on his stomach so that the screen faced the ceiling--the phone's light dimly lighting up his room. For some reason the dim light woke up Haechan rather than the bright one as his eyes fluttered open and turned his body to look at Mark. "Why the heck are you awake?" he said, his voice soft as he was tired. His eyes fell on the open text conversation, and he scooted closer to his boyfriend. "Who are you texting this early?"

Mark shook his head slightly, looking at Haechan. "Oh, it's just Sicheng." He let Haechan gaze at the short text conversation since there was nothing to hide. "I just kept thinking about what you were saying about apologizing, so I just decided to do it no-"

"Do you still think about that kiss...with Sicheng?" Donghyuck's half lidded eyes were focused on the words 'we did kiss...'. "You stopped replying after Sicheng said that." He pointed at the message.

Mark's heart began to race. He did in fact think about it, but it was reasonable. Anyone would linger on the thought of their crush kissing them. However, Mark knew that he had to move on; he was dating Haechan now, but he just couldn't shake it off his leg.

"I do, but-"

Haechan's expression seemed hurt. Oh no. Mark thought to himself, and quickly sat up. "I mean-"

"You know Sicheng didn't feel the same, right?" Donghyuck cut Mark off, the room going dark again since Mark's phone had timed out. Mark bit his lip.

"He didn't feel the same about you. That's the reason why he seemed so calm about everything right after it happened. Sure, it might have seemed like he did the night of the carnival, but people can realise things, Mark. That's why he was able to move on so quickly and that's how he ended up with Jaehyun. He just didn't want to tell you because he probably didn't want to hurt you because like he said, he knew how you felt." His tone was so serious, and it made Mark feel bad. He turned away to turn on his lamp, both of the boys' eyes immediately squinted because of the light.

Haechan realised how serious he got and how quiet the room went, so he rolled back to his spot on the bed and muttered,"Sorry, I've been hanging out with Johnny a lot."

Would kissing someone else that I like more make me forget? He's my boyfriend, anyways... Mark was having a small conversation with himself in his head, trying to figure out the right thing to do to save the conversation.

"I can't let go of things unless something else tops that." The brunette spoke up, rolling on his side so now the two boys were facing each other. Their faces were so close, making Haechan scoot a bit backwards.

"Oh." He bluntly replied, but then his eyes widened. "Oh." He saw Mark's face go pink with embarrassment.

"Sorry." Mark awkwardly apologized, but before the older boy could turn away, Haechan scooted closer again, but this time closing the gap inbetween them, his hands finding their way to the sides of Mark's face.

Mark was freaking out. He had to force his eyes shut and shakily moved his hand to the small of Donghyuck's back before relaxing into the kiss. It was soft, slow, innocent, and it made both of their faces feel like they were burning.

When they pulled away from each other, neither of them moving their hands, the only thing Donghyuck could sputter was:

"Oh my god."
