|You should know that I am truly sorry, sorry for the fact that I can't control my feelings for you.|

--Donghyuck--

A week has passed by and I felt worse than ever. I ignored Mark, not really because I truly hated him, but mostly because I was too scared to look him in the eyes.
Joy hasn't acted any less sweet to me, even if I was about 90% positive she knew it was me. I guess she did in fact change for the better. So today I decided to give her a chance as well.
I hesitantly made my way to her as her and her friends looked. She smiled while the others seemed a bit confused.

"Hey, Hyuck" she said, happily and I couldn't help but smile a little at her tone of voice.

"Hey...I just came to say sorry for how I have acted and...I hope we can...somewhat be friends or at the very least...get along?" I asked, stumbling over my words in the process. I wasn't usually the type to be nice to people unless I actually had a close friendship with them. She nodded, faster than I would've thought.

"I'd like that actually" she said, her smile never fading. I nodded and scratched the back of my neck rather awkwardly.

"Well I'll get going now" I said, showing her one more smile before walking off. I was a good distance away when I heard rushed footsteps and her voice.

"Wait! Hyuck!" I stopped and turned, Joy stopped in front of me as she handed me a paper with what seemed to be her phone number. "I'm throwing a party next week, Saturday, I hope you'll be there" she smiled bright before turning around and walking.
I stood there, looking at it confused before managing to smile.
Maybe it wasn't all that bad after all.

--Mark--

I saw Donghyuck heading my direction in the hallway, as I decided I should finally speak to him, hoping to finally get a word out of him. As he approached someone called for him, it was Joy.
She said something to him and handed him a letter. She went away again and Donghyuck seemed to look at the piece of paper in his hands. He smiled. Smiled in a way I haven't seen him smile at me or at anything before.

It felt weird. It was a feeling I couldn't describe at the moment itself...but now I know exactly how jealous I had felt.

I turned away, now heading towards class, maybe him ignoring me wasn't that bad.
Because I didn't feel like seeing him anyway...

--Donghyuck--

Days went by fast, I had spoken with Joy a lot. Jisung made plans next weekend with Chenle and Mark...well, I haven't really said a word yet...nor did he.
It was now the day of the party and I had already decided on going. I was pretty sure most people from school were already heading there as well, so I decided to dress up for this once.

My blouse was slightly see through and a few buttons were left loose, giving my chest a bit of exposure. I wore ripped black jeans under it and wore a jacket to cover myself a bit. I was honestly pretty exited about it. It would be one of the few party's I would actually go to.

I threw on a pair of shoes and headed out as well, checking my phone as I walked to her house.

A littly later I stood in front of a big house, music was heard from outside and the lights were dimmed. It was almost like an actual club, but then stuffed in someone's house. I gulped, making my way up to the door as I rang the doorbell.

Joy opened the door, a drink in her hand, she smiled at me. "Hyuck~ I'm so happy you're here! Come in~" she said and I made my way inside. Indeed, it seemed like almost the whole school was there. "Come~" she spoke and guided me with her to her friends and a small group of guys. "Guys, you know him right? Donghyuck" Joy said and her friends nodded while the guys gave me a small nod and a short introduction.
They didn't seem all that bad either.

I got handed a drink and we had the time to talk and dance along.

One of the guys was talking about an experience he had with a girl on a camping. Even if I was single as hell, I couldn't help but laugh along with the others.
I turned my head to the side and my smile faded, seeing Mark looking at me. He smiled, or smirked whatever you'd call it. I gulped, looking away from him and fidgeting awkwardly with my fingers.
But I couldn't help it.

I looked at him again, his stare hasn't left me yet, and I also couldn't help the fact that I stared him down as well.
He looked really good, making me turn red from even thinking about him.
He gave his drink to the guy next to him and went my way.

"...shit" I cursed under my breath, but the question was...did I actually mind?

"Is it okay if I steal Hyuck for a moment" Mark asked the others, who just agreed and went on with their conversation. Mark grabbed my wrist, almost dragging me into the crowd with him.

"Mark, I--" I was cut off by the sudden movement of him pulling me to him. As we stood there chest to chest, I stayed silent, feeling as if I was burning.

"You look stunning" Mark said and I looked up at him, he smiled...I smiled back.

You should know that I'm truly sorry,

Sorry for the fact that I can't control my feelings for you.
