Tapping lazily around on his phone, Jaebum was playing some random game he just downloaded recently. He was focused, trying to beat his highscore. Then, to his disgrace, something, or better said someone suddenly distracted him.

"What are you doing?" Mark, his best friend asked while he raised a brow. "Perhaps chatting with someone special?" He then smirked.

Why would he even think that? Jaebum rolled his eyes. Then again, it's Mark so why wouldn't he think that?

The younger paused his game, frustrated because he was so close. Then he looked at his best friend with a confused look. God how annoying Mark could be sometimes.

"What the hell did you just say? Ridiculous. You know i'm not that kinda guy." Jaebum shook his head. All of his attention then got to his phone again, starting another round.

"Ah, come on Mr. Grumpy! You could get any girl in this school with your looks!" Jaebum heard him but ignored him. Then silence. He was already reliefed that Mark finally stopped talking but of course he had to start once again. What non-sense would it be now? Can't he bother someone else?

"You know, I saw that Youngjae guy yesterday. Do you know what I did?" Mark laughed before continuing and Jaebum could already feel the anger boiling in him. "I pulled the good old foot prank. That dummy fell for it so easily! He's so stup-"

"Stop. It." Jaebum interrupted him, his voice sounding more threatening now. He put back his phone as soon as Mark mentioned Youngjae. He was ready to fight him. "You shouldn't do that. I warn you." Jaebum added, Mark shocked.

"Don't tell me you actually like that guy!" Mark suddenly bursted out laughing. Jaebum clenched his fist. He tried holding himself back from punching him or do even worse as he was not in the mood to get in trouble at that time.

"God damn it Mark! Just fucking listen to me once!" Jaebum instead, raised his voice. The whole classroom went as quiet as a graveyard in a matter of a second. Jaebum felt everyones eyes on him, but he couldn't care less. Right now it was just Mark and him.

Marks eyes widened. Jaebum seriously startled him this time, not daring to speak. Jaebum rarely let his threatening side show, but if he did, it meant trouble. Everyone knew exactly what he was capable of.

The older opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but not even one word was able to come out. The once cool and badass Mark turned into an innocent little deer. Exactly what Jaebum wanted.

No one was able to control Mark like Jaebum could. He may seem tough and threatening on the outside, but deep inside he was just as soft as anyone else. However, only Jaebum could reveal that vulnerable side of him. Of course he would take advantage of that.

The sound of the classrooms door opening interrupted the show. All attention suddenly went to the teacher who decided to show up, 5 minutes too late already.

The two of them didnt exchange even one word during class. A weird tension was between them. Jaebum knew though that this wouldn't last long, its not the first time he got mad at him after all.

On his way home, Jaebum made a visit at their local flower shop.

He greeted the cashier with a slight bow before going through the different aisles until he found what he was looking for. A bunch of roses in every possible variation placed in a massive pot. Jaebum took some, looking at them thoroughly to be sure to buy the perfect one, just for him

Then his eyes fell on the bright, yellow flower placed inbetween the others. Jaebum smiled as he carefully took it into his hands. It reminded him of the sun. The sun, which is blinding, just like the boy's gorgeous smile. This had to be the one.
