The next morning Jaemin was with Haechan and the older boy was fiddling with his fingers. He let out multiple sighs and paced around in circles. Anyone who saw him would be able to tell he was nervous. He sighed one more time and Jaemin grew impatient. "Would you hurry up?" "Okay. I'm going. Sheesh" Haechan said and rolled his eyes. He grabbed some flowers and a letter from his locker and walked up to Mark who was busy talking to his friends.

Jaehyun noticed him and walked to Mark faster than Haechan and reached him first. He put his arm around Mark's waist and kissed him. Everyone was staring at the two including Haechan. Tears started to build up in his eyes and he ran away, dropping the flowers and letter in the process. Jaehyun then released from the kiss and Mark pushed him away.

Jaemin picked up the objects Haechan had thrown and made his way to Mark. He tapped his shoulder and he turned around. Jaemin instantly punched him in the face earning 'ooh's from the students around them. "What the fuck Jaemin?". The said boy walked away furiously and searched for Haechan. Mark had no idea what was going on but before Jaemin had left, he spotted the letter he was holding and he saw what was written on the bright blue envelope; "To Mark. From Haechan. I miss you"

The older boy chased after Jaemin and hoped that he would lead him to Haechan. Fortunately, his plan had worked. He was outside, behind the school, at a garden he had never knew was there before. Jaemin walked closer to the crying male and Mark kept his distance but made sure he would be able to hear what they were saying.

"Nana. I'm too late" Haechan cried on Jaemin's chest. "I'm too late" he kept repeating. "Hyuckie just talk to him please" "I don't want to Jaemin. I don't want to see him. He's moved on" "At least give him the letter. You put your heart into it and he deserves to know how you feel" "Can you give it to him? If I see him I'll start crying again". Mark moved a little to hear their conversation better but ended up stepping on a twig that broke in the process and grabbed Jaemin and Haechan's attention.

They stood up and their eyes wandered to where they heard the noise. "Come out whoever you are!" Jaemin yelled. Mark sighed and revealed himself to the two. Haechan's heart hurt after seeing the older male. "Wait! Before you punch me again can you please tell me what this is all about? What do you mean too late? Donghyuck, I love you".

"Then who was that guy that kissed you?" Jaemin asked. "Ohh now I understand. This is all a big misunderstanding". "How?" "He kissed me to make you jealous. I tried pushing him off but he's too strong and I haven't moved on". "Hyuck he sounds sincere. Maybe he's telling the truth" Jaemin whispered and left the two alone.

Mark got closer to Haechan and grabbed his small and soft hands. The young boy sniffled and stared at the floor. He didn't dare look up but Mark had different plans. "Hyuckie look at me. Please". Haechan shook his head but Mark wasn't having any of his bullshit. He let go of Haechan's hands and placed his own on his cheeks and forcefully pulled his head up. Still Haechan was not looking at him.

Mark placed his lips on top of the youngers' but he refused to kiss back. The older boy pinched Donghyuck's cheeks causing him to open his mouth. Mark stuck his tongue inside and Haechan started to blush and kiss back. The young boy wrapped his arms around Mark's waist and pulled him closer. They kissed until they ran out of breath. They stared at each other lovingly before Mark spoke.

"Jaemin said something about a letter?". "Oh. We don't need to read that" Haechan said embarrassed and rubbed his nape. Mark went to get the letter and opened it up. "Markie I'm sorry about how we ended things. I was really hurt but I know I would really regret it if we broke up and never got back together. I love you and you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. Do you want to get back together? If you don't, it's alright. I'll understand but I would never be able to live with myself knowing that I lost the person I love the most". "Hyuckie of course I would want to get back with you. You're the love of my life". Haechan smiled and hugged him tightly. "I love you too Markie"
