Mark looked up from the ground, for the first time after he had left his university, and he sighed. His feet had brought him back to the park like always. When he was younger, when life was easier, he would visit the park everyday after school. He wouldn't be alone like today, he would have his 6 closest friends with him. They were all friends since they were little kids.
Mark followed the stone path through the park and sighed. He missed his time here. He missed playing with his friends. Although they all used to tease Mark 24/7. They would always call Mark names and sometime even treat him like a baby. But they were always there for him.
His friends were there when Mark had his first relationship. They were there when his girl friend confessed to have cheated on him (which didn't really affect him as he realised that he was no longer interested in girls). They were also there when Mark actually got his heart broken from his first guy crush. Even though they all made fun of Mark and played around with him for a bit, they also gave Mark hope for the future. Told him to forget about the past and happily move on to the future.
"Haha..." Mark laughed slightly as he remembered how he met each and every one of them.
He first met Donghyuck. Donghyuck was honestly a really loud kid. He was always talking and making jokes. The jokes that Donghyuck told made Mark feel something in his stomach. He always made Mark feel better after a stressful day, even though sometimes it was his fault that he was so stressed. He remembered the time when he visited the park for the first time and met Donghyuck at the river. The two were around the ages of 6 and 7. Donghyuck was so busy watching the ducks in the river that he fell into it. Mark saw this, since he had been staring at Donghyuck, and alerted his parents. They pulled Donghyuck out, and then the two became friends.
After that day, Mark and Donghyuck were always together, which is why they had been mistaken for being brothers once, or even boyfriends. Donghyuck had always been really affectionate with Mark, but when Mark came out to be into guys, the love he got from Donghyuck had increased.
Mark never really payed much attention to Donghyuck in that way until Donghyuck got himself into a relationship. the sight of another male touching Donghyucks lips with his own made Mark disgusted. Mark's heart ached (and he thought he was having a heart attack) and he wouldn't stop glaring at Donghyuck's new boyfriend.
Donghyuck, and basically everyone, noticed this and decides to break things off with the other guy. Mark didn't understand why he felt relief at this until Donghyuck then confessed to have feelings for him. Turns out Donghyuck was trying to get rid of his feelings since he thought Mark only thought of him as a brother.
