Chap 22: Confession

Mark's POV:

"Hyuck!" I yelled out to him once he came into my sight again.

"Donghyuck! Wait up!" He turned in my direction. After a few seconds of staring at me with a look of distraught, he turned to his heels and ran towards the dormitories.

Don't avoid me, Hyuck..

I followed behind him as I tried my best to catch up with him before I lose sight of him again. He entered his dorm and slammed the door shut.

Knocking on his door, I planned out a whole speech to say to him.
Hi, Hyuck. I'm sorry I said that earlier, I didn't mean it. It's just that I'm a jealous bitch and couldn't contain my feels-

"What do you want?" A raspy voice softly asked from the other side of the door, causing me to melt on the spot.

"Hi, Hyuck. I'm-"

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

"Why? I'm just trying to apologize."

"You don't have to."

"But, aren't you upset at me for being a rudeass bitch?"

Soft sniffling were audible as I pressed my ears against the door.

"I am, Mark. Can you go away, now?"

"No, I won't until I get to talk to you properly." I stated as I took a seat infront of his door, leaning my back on it.

"Mark, it's late, I want to sleep."

"Alright, go ahead, I'll be right here until morning so talk to me once you wake up. Good night."

I leaned my back on the door as I crossed my legs, trying to get comfortable enough to fall asleep.
This is gonna be the worst sleep.

The door suddenly swung open, causing me to fall backwards and lie flat on the ground. Looking up, I saw Donghyuck staring at me with his eyebrows furrowed together in a sad expression.

"Come in, you idiot."
His face was puffy and his tanned skin looked pale. His eyes were watery as he covered his face with his sleeve, probably noticing me staring at him.

"What happened?" I asked while standing up and closing the door behind me.

"What do you mean?"

"Your face.. You look terrible."

"Wow, now you're calling me ugly? Geez, Mark, I thought we were friends." He joked while rolling his eyes.

"No, no, not terrible in that way. I think your beautiful. It's just that you look like you've been crying.."
I want to tell you how worried I get when you're like this, and how much shittier I feel when it's because of me that you're crying.

His face turned red as he stared at the floor, opening his mouth to speak, but closing it back after no words were able to come out.
"Stop lying to just make me feel better." He finally mumbled while fiddling with the strings of his hoodie.

"Look, I'm not lying, I mean it. I know it's because of me and what I said which is why you're upset, since you don't want to talk to me and all, but I'm really sorry for saying that. I'm so fucking stupid. I got scared you'll leave me and I panicked."

"It's okay, I guess.."

"Alright, I'll just say what I really intended to say, so listen closely."

He nodded his head as he stared into my eyes, hopeful of my words being the ones he wanted to hear.

"Donghyuck.. Aish this is gonna be so dumb, I already know it. Okay, here it goes. You know I'm not good with words. I'm not a smooth-talker. I'm so hopelessly dumb when it comes to love 'cause I don't know what to do."
I started off, trying not to chicken out halfway.
