Not even an hour into getting that idea, Mark was this close to giving up. "How can I even find him? He doesn't go to this school."

As far as he could recall, Lucas met this person outside the campus. Though they met while still having a relationship with Donghyuck, it wasn't considered cheating— well, at least that was what Lucas wanted to think at that time. The two of them were just able to click with each other's personalities and became friends.

"Such an asshole." Mark mumbled, remembering it made his face form to disgust. "The audacity he has in saying that he loved Donghyuck when he was able to find someone while being in a relationship with him."

That's the guy whom his husband still implies to be friends with even after what he had done? Mark can't help but have an argument with himself in his mind. It was probably already cheating for being interested with someone despite already having a boyfriend. But Donghyuck just gaslighted himself to think that he was enough, and Lucas just found someone that he deserves.

Tracks and thoughts were then stopped when he passed by a certain room that was filled with books and a quiet environment.



The library.



Right now, even though Mark was tempted to go inside with the assumption that this certain person might be there like he always would, he needed to find somewhere else to settle his thoughts.

"Damn it." But it was as if his own body had its own mind to demand. He dragged himself inside the library in hopes that he would see Donghyuck and get the answers he needed.

But it looks like someone else greeted him. A familiar looking student with her hair down, and eyes concentrated on the books she had on the table. Mark's gaze can't seem to divert his attention away from her. It wasn't him falling in love all of a sudden, it just caught his interest. Ever since he found out that he had traveled back, he never did once do something that could change the timeline. Sure, he would slip his words here and there but he would make sure he won't get caught. He was always able to find a way and reason out every unintentional mistake.

In the past, nothing ever happened between them.

They might have interacted, but only for a short while.

Mark felt something weird in his emotions upon seeing the girl that liked him. He knew it was her behind the letters he would receive every day. He would oftentimes see her pass by their room just to get a glimpse of him. He knew that this person has feelings for him, what now?



"Ko Eun?"



Hearing her name coming from someone with a familiar voice, the student looked up and had her eyes locked with the person standing right in front of her. "Mark?"

Now, what? Mark genuinely has no clue as to when, where, how, and why he stood right here. He doesn't know why he approached her and is now initiating a conversation with her. They weren't supposed to talk. Not here at the library, and especially not in this situation.
