That same day around 1:55 Haechan, Mark, and Renjun were trying to get Jaemin to go to their planned destination. "This better work. I hate seeing those two fighting" Haechan said. "I love the way he cares about other people". Mark thought. Renjun noticed Mark staring at the orange haired boy and leaned over to him whispering, "You're so whipped bro". The brown haired boy tried to deny it but the only words that came out were, "You-You're kid-kidding me ri-right?". Mark facepalmed himself after his lame attempt to deny everything. "What are you two whispering about?" Haechan asked. At that moment Mark wanted to die, scared that he would have to tell him his secret.

"Mark's being a dumbass as usual" Renjun said. "I don't even want to know what he did this time" Haechan replied emphasizing 'this time'. "Hey!" Mark yelled offended. "Sorry baby" Haechan said. The other two stopped walking and faced the orange haired boy. Haechan quickly realized what he had said and his face became red because he was embarrassed. "Ba-baby?" Renjun stuttered. "Baby" Mark repeated, a small smile forming on his face. "Lets just go. Our classes our about to begin" Haechan said trying to change the subject. They continued walking to Jaemin's class which was about to end in a few minutes.

Although they had stopped talking about it, that word never left Mark's thoughts. His face started heating up so he looked down trying to avoid contact with the other two. "We're here". The three of them waited for Jaemin to come out of the classroom and once he did they quickly took him to the empty classroom where Jeno already was. "Guys can you let go off me?" Jaemin asked annoyed. "Not yet"

Chenle and Jisung were waiting outside of Jeno's classroom waiting for it to end. "Nana talked to me about something weird this morning" Jisung spoke. "Really? What about?" Chenle tilted his head. "He asked me if you've asked me out already" Chenle's face became red and he didn't know what to say. "What's that about?" "Uh I don't know. He's stupid like that. Just ignore what he said. Don't listen to anything he says because he's-" Chenle rambled on until Jisung placed a finger on his lips. "So seriously when are you going to ask me out?" Jisung asked, leaving Chenle flustered. At that moment Jeno came out of his classroom and the two quickly got a hold of him. "What the? What are you two doing?" Jeno asked but the younger males ignored him. "We'll talk about this later" Jisung said causing Chenle to gulp nervously. The  three arrived at the classroom and saw that Jaemin still wasn't there.

About three minutes later the other males arrived which consisted of an unbothered Renjun, a flustered Mark, a nervous Haechan, and an annoyed Jaemin. "What's with you guys?" Chenle asked. "Nothing. Lets just get this over with" Renjun replied. They pushed Jaemin in the classroom and quickly locked the door from the outside. "What are you guys doing?" Jaemin yelled from behind the door. "Its simple actually. Make up with Jeno and we'll let you two out" Mark answered. Jaemin scanned the room after hearing Jeno's name and saw him sitting near the back of the classroom. "You've got to be kidding me. He's in here too?!" "Gee thanks" "Shut up!" Jaemin yelled at the other male. "Mark let me out right now. I had something to do with Sanha during this period.""Sanha? He really is stealing my best friend" Jeno thought.

"Still can't let you out" Mark said. "Do it or I expose you" Mark gulped at his words and reconsidered trapping him in. "Don't do it Markie" Jisung said. "Sorry Jaemin. No can do" "Fine. Haechan, Mark has a crush on you" he yelled loud enough for Haechan to hear. "I have more secrets Mark. Let me out and I won't tell him" Jaemin threatened. "It's still a no". Jaemin sighed, "Okay. Have it your way. Haechan remember that day you woke up with a huge hangover?" "You mean the day we all got drunk? Yeah" "And remember those hickeys?" "Yeah" "That was Mark who gave you those" "I'm killing you after this" Mark said.

"Chenle unlock this door" "No thanks and you've got no secrets on me. Jisung knows I wanted to ask him out" the green haired boy replied. "Don't flatter yourself. I have more secrets" Chenle scoffed, "Yeah right" "Renjun, Chenle used to have a crush on you. I have secrets on all of you. Let me out or I will expose all of you". "We're leaving now. Don't even think about escaping. All the ways out are locked" Renjun replied although he was flustered by Jaemin's confession. They all left but an awkward silence filled the air. Jaemin groaned and went to sit by the window. He took out his phone and earbuds and listened to music to try to ignore Jeno.
