Secret Touch | MarkBam |

Please read my author's note at the end of this chapter. There's an important poll I would like all of you to participate in.

Mark knew he spilled his secret to Jaebum, but he didn't know telling his friend would mean that he would be telling the entire school in the process.

Apparently Jaebum didn't know how to keep his mouth shut because when he walked into school the next day, everyone's eyes were on him. It was uncomfortable to say the least.

Everyone looked at him in a different way. Some stared with judging eyes and expressions, while others seemed shocked and surprised. Then, of course, you had the occasional boy look him up and down with a lustful glint in their eyes (but this was nothing new. The only difference was these boys now knew Mark preferred dick).

All of the pairs of eyes on Mark had him feeling anxious. Sure, people had always stared at him due to his status in school and extremely good looks but it was never to this extent. It was overwhelming and a little scary. So, Mark walked to his locker with his down and gaze glued to the floor.

When Mark got to his locker he sighed and let his forehead rest against the cool metal door. He closed his eyes and took in a breath of air before straightening himself up again and opening his locker. He needed to look confident so people wouldn't see him as weak. He would not be an easy target.

As he was grabbing things he would need for the day out of his locker, someone came up behind him and smacked his ass. The redhead stood frozen as his eyes widened in shock. So much for not being an easy target...

"Give me a call if you want to have a better time than you did with that last slut you fucked," Some random boy whispered in his ear before putting a slip of paper on top of the books in his hand.

Mark looked down and saw the paper that had seven digits on it. When he lifted his head up again the person was already gone.

The popular redhead had never felt like crying so much in his life.

"Hey Mark," The voice of his best friend -- if he could even call him that anymore -- came from behind him.

Mark used his free hand to quickly wipe away any tears that might have begun to form or slid down his cheeks. He needed to be strong.

"What do you want?" Mark turned around and scowled at Jaebum.

"You okay?" Jaebum asked with a concerned tone.

This is where Mark lost his composure.

"No, I'm not okay!" He let out an airy chuckle. "The entire school now knows that I'm gay and who I had sex with because someone couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut."

Jaebum laughed. Fucking laughed. "Oh, come on, Mark. It's really not that big of a deal!"

"Of course it's not a big deal to you! It isn't your private life that's the talk of the entire school."

"Why do you care so much? Seriously! BamBam is just another quick fuck of yours anyway," The dark haired make scoffed.

Without any warning, Mark punched Jaebum on the left side of his cheek, causing the boy to stumble back a few steps into the lockers. The loud clacking of metal resonated throughout the surprisingly empty hallway. Jaebum looked at his friend in shock while Mark have him a look that could actually kill.

The older walked over to Jaebum with his right fist at his side. He gripped Jaebum's collar and looked him straight in the eyes. "Let me make something very fucking clear right here and right now. Don't go spreading around people's secrets and expect to get off easy. And don't you ever call BamBam a 'quick fuck' again because he means more to me than you ever will." He let go of Jaebum's shirt and slammed his locker shut.
