"Come on, come on."

Mark was impatiently drumming his fingers on the steering wheel, waiting for the light to turn green. After the talk he had with his hyungs, Mark's now headed for Donghyuck's apartment, wanting to talk things out and get everything off his chest. In the back of his head, Mark's rationality was telling him to go home and talk the younger tomorrow. But Mark knew that he won't be able to sleep if he doesn't see the younger tonight. Just the thought of what they'll talk about, makes him feel both giddy and nervous, not knowing what kind of changes it'll bring in to their current pace of their relationship. That thought alone almost made him want to postpone this whole thing, not wanting the younger to feel awkward around him due to the mess known as Mark's feelings. However, he also knew postponing it will just let his jealousy grow and might even hurt the younger because of it. So, this has to be done now. And because, Mark wants to start officially pursuing the younger and call him his boyfriend. Even with the thought alone, Mark feels like his insides being invaded by butterflies, his heart beating erratically and pretty lips stretched to a big grin. Flickering his eyes up towards the traffic light, Mark noticed the red turned grin, making him smile widely and speeding to Donghyuck's place. In no time at all, he's already in front of the younger's building, hurriedly parking his car and making his way towards the entrance. The security guard, upon recognizing his face from the times he's dropped Donghyuck off, opened the door for him with a smile. Mark smiled back and thanked him, before jogging slightly towards the elevator. Once inside the lift, he leaned against the wall while waiting for Donghyuck's floor, trying and failing to calm his nerves and rapidly beating heart. Taking deep breathes, he recalled the his earlier conversation with the Taeten couple. Ten had looked like he wanted to smack him against the wall with how many times he asked the older if he's really feeling in love, or at least having a crush.

"Do you feel happy whenever Donghyuck's around?"

"Yea.."

"Do you want his attention on you and spend his time with you?"

"Yes."

"Does it make your blood boil whenever he's with Hyunjin or anyone for that matter?"

"It does."

"What do you feel when you think about Donghyuck being with someone else?"

Mark had to ponder Ten's question for a while, trying to gather his thoughts. After a while, he looked up at the couple with a sad smile.

"It hurts, of course it does. I don't want to see or even imagine Donghyuck being with someone else. I want him to be just with me, us two in our own little bubble."

He heaved a sigh, looking down on the table in front of him.

"But, if being in someone else's arms will make him happy, then who am I to get in the way of that? His happiness will always be my happiness. If that happiness will be the reason of my heart hurting for the rest of my life,then at least I'll know he'll be happy and be shining as bright as ever, even in the arms of someone else."

Both Taeyong's and Ten's hearts felt hurt at Mark's words, but also feeling proud at their baby lion's mature thinking. Before they could console the younger, however, he looked up, determination as clear as day on his yes.

"But I can't let that happen without at least trying to woo him off his feet."

Ten laughed at that, eyes twinkling as Taeyong sported a proud grin.
