--Mark--

A few weeks had progressed and Donghyuck seemed to be doing much better already. Although he was suffering from painful headaches, he was doing okay. He did gain some memories back, not much, and he clearly doesn't seem to remember my role in his life before the crash, but I told him I was okay with everything.
Even if he wouldn't regain much memories about me or this year in particular, I was still happy that he didn't seem to hate me.
After about a month, he went back to his normal self.

Jisung however, didn't seem to visit him often, as he stayed over at someone's house a lot. He didn't give me any information either, besides the fact that it was around a 2 hour drive.

So now I'm seated here in Donghyuck's room, sitting on his desk chair, waiting for one of us to speak up once more.

Silence. More silence.

"Hey Mark" he started, looking at me as I looked back at him, I smiled.
"Yeah?" I questioned, as I tilted my head to the side, waiting for him to go on.
"You know that I don't really...remember much about you" he said, before he sighed "well...what were you to me...like...actually".

Come to think of it, it was a really great question, even if I felt rather bothered.

"Euhm...well...we became...friends I guess, good friends even. I once found your list of people you'd wanted to take some...sort of...revenge on" I said, but he cut me off.

"Revenge?" He asked, I gave him a nod as I went through his stuff to find it while he came rushing over to me. Once I had found it and flipped through the first few pages, we were met with a list of names.
"I was only there with Joy, but...you became friends with her after it so I guess that that's okay now" I said and he listened. "And one day...I told you how I felt about you and you were...angry at me...and there was a party and we danced and then you--"

"Mark..." he stopped me once again, voice soft and sweet "h-how do you feel about me?".

I was taken aback a bit but took a deep breath and calmed myself.

"W-well I mean...I like you as in...more than just friends y'know..." I said, looking down at my hands awkwardly. There was more silence. "I don't want to force you to like me and I don't want you to feel awkward around me or anything...".

He didn't say anything so I looked up, seeing him smile brightly. It was a kind of smile that made the sun appear on a gloomy day.
"Y'know...there might be a list of people I don't like...but you are one of the people I do really like" he said, soon enough changing the conversation to a much lighter topic. I smiled however, feeling a kind of relief. At least he didnt dislike me.

As the ending of the school year finally came up and Donghyuck came back to school, prom was something everyone started to worry about. I was a bit worried as well. After a few days of practicing and worrying, I had enough courage to ask Donghyuck to go with me. So there I was, waiting for him to show up to school.

"Are you going to ask him?" Joy asked, smiling while I just gave her a simple nod. "Y'know, I have always quite liked you two together...at least...after I made up my mind and stopped being the stupid person I was" she spoke as I kept quiet and listened.
As Donghyuck entered the building she chuckled. "Goodluck" was all that she said before she walked away.

Donghyuck headed my way with a smile. "Mark~" he said, as if he was happy to see me.
"Hey, Hyuck" I said, going over the words in my head. "Hey I actually wanted to ask you something" I started once again, as he looked at me confused before he raised an eyebrow at me.
"And that is?" He asked. I sighed.

"Well...y'know Prom is coming up and I figured that...I don't have a date and you also don't have a date and everyone has a date and--"

"You're asking me to Prom?" He said, chuckling as I had rambled on. I mumbled a soft "yeah" and he smiled. "Yeah...yeah I'd like to go with you" he said and I smiled, brighter than I had ever smiled before. "Now let's head to History, dummy" he said, grabbing my hand and making our way through the hall.

I guess, seeing him smile happily...I realized.

He deserves the world and more,

Yet he chose me.
