"But then I'll be rejected to my face..."

"Have some guts. He's your friend he won't reject you to hurt your feelings,"

He nods typing something quickly and sending it.

I continue to dance as Mark walks back in, "Hey. What is it Jack? That Vante dude was super hot so this better be good,"

Jack frowns at the mention of Tae, "I-i just wanted to tell you something..." He mumbles looking at me for support.

I smile at him for support. As Mark sits beside him.

"Do you think you'd ever like me...?" He mumbles avoiding saying that he likes Mark himself.

"I already do. I've known you for as long as I can remember," He says nudging his friends arm.

"No. I mean like- more than friends..."

Mark tilts his head, "I guess. Why?..."

"I guess as in you would...?"

"I guess as in why are you asking?"

"I want to be more than friends," He blurts out quietly, barely coherent over the loud music.

Mark laughed petting his friends shoulder as if he had told a joke.

His face drops when he sees Jack's reaction, "Wait you're being serious?..."

"Y-yeah... Is that a no?..." He mumbles sadly taking a small gulp of his drink.

"Umm... I don't know how to react... I didn't even know you were gay...."

He nods solemnly, "It's ok. I get it, you don't wanna be anything more than friends with me,"

"I never said that Jack, I'm just... processing..."

He drinks half the glass trying to distract himself, "Can't you process faster...?"

"Umm ok," Mark says pausing for a few seconds before looking at his friend taking a deep breath.

He grabbed the back of his neck pushing their lips together.

Jack blushes immediately moving his lips against Mark's, resting his hand on  Mark's shoulder.

Mark pulls away after a few seconds, "Umm,"

"Is that a yes?" Jack asks nervously.

"It's a I need to think about this because this is kind of sudden,"

"Oh okay, um... You can go back to Vante now..."

"How about we head home?" He says with a slight smile.

"You sure...? You don't have to leave cause of me, I've been talking to him anyway," He gestures towards me uncomfortably.

I do a small wave to mark rubbing the back of my neck. Mark sighs, "We can talk about it when we are at home?"

"Okay, you should tell Vante you aren't coming back first though,"

"He'll figure it out. Only had a few minutes left anyway,"

"I'll tell him," I mumble trying to stop Jack from stalling, Mark nods, "This dude will do it,"

Jack looks towards me before looking down, "I'm sorry..."

Jack looks towards me before looking down, "I'm sorry..."

Mark gives me an annoyed look, "Was winking really necessary?"

I shrug smiling at him.

"Come on, we have to talk," Mark says gently taking Jack's hand, leading him out the club.
