Holding the can of soda firmly in his grip, Mark can't seem to take away his gaze towards the certain table, and a certain someone.

Days have passed, Mark wasn't so sure when this had started, but he could feel like the week is almost over and no progress has been made. He couldn't understand why, but he felt like this person was avoiding him on purpose. Every single attempt would fail.

Trying to bump into him across the hallway, this person would quickly dodge him.

Passing by their room and catching him staring by the window, their gazes would lock for a couple of seconds before the latter would look away with an attitude. Mark could actually list down all his plans and ideas in wanting to be associated with him. He can even make a book out of it.



Well, that was an exaggeration.



Nonetheless, he just doesn't get it. From being next to Donghyuck in line at the cafeteria, to going out by the front gates at the same time as Donghyuck the moment as classes would end. Even going to an extent, which Mark had tried once because of how desperate he is— going to the same park at night and catching him there alone.

Mark even had to lie about wanting to walk after they shared a conversation, but even that didn't last a minute before this person reasoned out that he needed to go back because his friends were looking for him.

He wanted to convince himself that Donghyuck genuinely doesn't know what's going on and everything is just a coincidence. However, Mark could tell, as if he could see right through him, that everything is on purpose.



"And it's so obvious." It raised more suspicion. Because if Donghyuck genuinely had no clue about traveling back in time, then he wouldn't act as if he needed to avoid someone just not to ruin something.



Because as far as Mark could remember, they would have been talking by now. This was supposed to be the part where they would start getting to know each other.

"What is obvious?" Shoving a spoonful of meal inside his mouth, Jeno followed his friend's gaze and his face immediately showed disgust. Not because of the food, but because of the scene where his friend is looking at. "Yeah, they are obviously dating."

Raising a brow, Mark diverted his attention towards the male that was eating. "I never asked for your opinion."

"I think that's a fact, Mark." Jeno said, gulping down his meal and drinking his water before continuing to talk, warning the other, "You have weird taste. Why are you going after someone who's obviously taken already?"

"I'm not going after—"

Mark was quick to be cut off by Jeno, "You know what's also obvious? You." He then pointed his finger at him, trying to slap some sense to this guy right here. "Cut the crap, Mark. Haven't you heard your name from the gossip around the campus? They think you're trying to steal that guy away from Lucas."
