once again | markhyuck

It was the time of the month where in their class, they would once again change their seating arrangements. It was so that the students would strengthen their bond as a whole. Some were cheering in excitement as they got to sit right next to their friends, but Jeno was part of the people who had their day ruined by the sudden change. Mark, on the other hand, was glad that he finally had to distance himself from his nosy friend. He couldn't focus on figuring this situation out.

He knows. Donghyuck knew that they traveled back in time.

But why did he act clueless? It was as if he had no idea what Mark was doing and treating him as if he was crazy.

Now that the truth is out, Mark can't let this pass. He needed answers, he needed someone to go through this problem with him. He needed Donghyuck.

"How do I get him to talk to me?" He has to come up with a plan. Since Donghyuck slipped and made it obvious about what he was hiding, Mark is a hundred percent sure that he's going to get ignored in every opportunity he gets.

But that wasn't enough of a reason for him to give up.

"Still on to Lucas' boyfriend, Huh?"

A voice snapped him back to his senses, disturbing him like every other day. Mark clicked his tongue and opened the book he had on top of his desk. "Go back to your seat, Jeno."

"You don't get to order me around." The said male told him, smirking at the chance he got once their teacher went out and gave the time to do whatever they wanted. "Now, explain."

"What is there to explain?" Uninterested, Mark turned his back just to avoid his friend from squeezing out some information in him.

"Come on! Since when do you ever keep secrets?" Jeno couldn't help but show a frown. Ever since the incident that one morning, he noticed how this guy right here always seems suspicious. "You are not even good at it. It's obvious you like Donghyuck."

Annoyed, Mark noticed a familiar person sitting on his opposite side. He then took this chance on trying to snitch his friend. "And you like Renjun—"

A hand quickly went over to Mark's mouth and shut him up in a matter of a second. However, a name was already mentioned. It caused the owner of that name, a Chinese transfer student whose seat is just a couple of rows ahead of them, to turn his head towards their direction. Luckily for Jeno, this person heard nothing else other than his name being called.

"May I help you?" Renjun, the Chinese transfer student in question, wondered why he was involved in their conversation.

Being blunt about it, "My friend wants to date you." Mark said without feeling a pinch of guilt that he just exposed his friend.

Jeno got flustered and defended himself immediately. He was shaking his hands right across his chest frantically as he denied that statement. At the same time, in a crisis, what the latter had said might also be true. "I... What? No... I mean, yes, but no... What I mean is—"
