"Good morning!" Mark smiled brightly as he greeted his friends.

The trio were concerned, they were definitely surprised with Mark's sudden change.

"Are we going to die?" Jeno asked, leaning closer to Jaemin.

"Maybe but if we do, just know that I love you," Jaemin replied with a smirk.

"I-I know already.." Jeno felt his cheeks burning up at Jaemin's sudden confession. Jaemin only chuckled at Jeno's reaction, finding him cute.

"Morning?" Renjun replied, happy to see his friend feel better but he was quite curious about the reason why.

"Why are you all so quiet today?" Mark asked, taking his seat.

The trio got even more confused. The male that hated mornings and wished for them to quiet down was suddenly gone.

"What did you do to Mark?!" Jaemin exclaimed, shooting up from his seat and slamming his hands onto the table.

"I will not hesitate to-"

"I am Mark! What's going on? Why are you all acting so strange?" Mark asked, not having a single clue to as of what had caused his friends to be so suspicious of him.

"I'm pretty sure we should be asking you that," Jeno said, trying to calm Jaemin down after seeing the stares directed towards them.

"I'm just.." Mark looked at the male entering the room, forming a shy smile as he remembered their kiss.

Jaemin sharply turned towards the direction Mark was staring off to and saw Donghyuck.

He connected the dots. Donghyuck? Mark being happy?

"Holy shit," A cuss escaped Jaemin's lips.

"Oh my god, oh my god!" Jaemin became more excited as he realised what was happening.

"What's wrong with you?" Renjun asked, trying to stop himself from smacking the overly excited male.

Jaemin leaned close to Mark, "You're in love with Donghyuck, aren't you?" He asked confidently, knowing it was true.

Mark avoided Jaemin's eyes and looked away, "W-Well.. I-"

"We're not surprised," Renjun placed his hand on Jaemin's shoulder, lowering him down onto his seat.

"What did I miss?" Donghyuck asked, pulling a chair from their classmate's desk and sitting on it,

"Mark," Jaemin smirked, looking at Mark and back at Donghyuck.

"What are you saying?" Donghyuck smacked Jaemin, ignoring his red tinted cheeks.

"How's the flower?" Donghyuck asked, ignoring Jaemin's smirks.

"Its still growing, the stem is all over my back with a few of the smaller flowers blooming soon," Mark replied, quite concerned about how much more it could grow.

"You look pretty though," Donghyuck smiled, admiring the stem that was wrapped gracefully around Mark's ear with a smaller flower sitting on it.

Mark couldn't find an answer to his compliment, a soft shade of red appeared on his cheeks the more he thought about it.

The friends looked at each other cheekily, trying to hide their laughter.

"Are you two dating?" Renjun asked, more curious about their relationship now.

The two were surprised by such a question.

"O-Of course not!" Donghyuck stood up from his seat in denial.

Mark tilted his head in confusion, wondering if Donghyuck has forgotten about the event yesterday.

"We're just friends!" Donghyuck stormed out of the classroom.

"Donghyuck, wait!" Renjun left his seat to chase after the younger one, feeling bad for upsetting him.

-----

"Should I go search for Donghyuck?" Renjun asked with a pout, still guilty for upsetting Donghyuck.

"He'll probably just run away from you and that's coming from someone with experience," Mark replied, not any less concern than Renjun.

"I'm so screwed," Renjun smacked his head into the table, regretting doing so after the pain kicked in.

"Renjun, can we talk?" Renjun lifted his head up and saw Donghyuck standing behind him.

Hearing his tone, Renjun knew it wasn't going to be good but Donghyuck couldn't possibly be that mad at something so small, right?

"S-Sure!" Renjun got out of his seat immediately, almost losing his balance.

Donghyuck grabbed his hand and dragged him away from his friends.

Mark didn't like the way Donghyuck was holding Renjun's hand. He just didn't.

Without realising, he stood up from his seat as well. "Wait- Where are you going?" Jisung asked,

"I just.. have to go,"
