| Stupid is my middle name |

---

"Jeno can I come home with you? I don't want to be home right now." Donghyuck pleaded as he grabbed on to Jeno's arm. 

"No, Donghyuck." Jeno softly pushed Donghyuck off of his arm. He didn't want to be around Donghyuck for long, he was afraid he'd slip and talk about Mark and Lucas.

"Please, Jeno?" Donghyuck begged again.

"Why do you want to come home with me?"

"Because."

"That's not an answer, Donghyuck."

"Because of stuff, Jeno. I just don't want to be home right now."

The boy looked really upset, which made Jeno feel bad. And he went absolutely soft for Donghyuck who was standing right in front of him.

So he gave in, "fine."

"Why'd you do that, Mark?"

The said boy lowered his head. He already knew Jeno was talking about him kissing Lucas without even directly saying it.

"I told you I was stupid, Jeno, didn't I? Stupid is my middle name." Mark slightly chuckled to himself then looked up at Jeno standing in front of him. "Does Donghyuck know?"

Why was Mark so worried about Donghyuck knowing? He shouldn't care. He didn't want to do this in the first place. Jeno forced him.

"Boys, get to it! Stop standing around!" Their gym teacher yelled at Mark and Jeno. "Sorry, Mr. Kim!" Jeno said and then turned to Mark, "we'll finish this later."

This is so bad. So, so bad. And he knows this, yet he does it. He just keeps on proving that he's stupid more and more, every day.

Jeno and Mark talked after gym class. Mark doesn't know why Jeno is taking everything so seriously. It's just a little crush Donghyuck has that'll go away soon, right? Obviously.

So Mark is being careless. He hasn't even properly asked Donghyuck out yet. This plan of Jeno's hasn't even started. Mark is free to do what he wants.

Currently, he's on his way to the janitor's closet. For the second time, very cliche, but it's the best they could come up with for the moment.

Mark knocked on the door three times in a pattern so the person on the other side knew it was him entering.

"Oh Mark, you're finally here!"

The big male pulled Mark towards him and closed the door, making sure the lock it with a spare key he found in the room.

He pulled Mark close, brushing hair that was covering his forehead out of the way. Then, he cupped Mark's cheeks and squished them, "I'm glad you don't like Donghyuck."

"What do you mean, Lucas?" Mark questioned and furrowed his eyebrows. "What I mean is," Lucas brought their two bodies together, "a lot of people ship you two. I'm happy you don't like him for the same reason you're happy I don't like Jungwoo."

Lucas whispered into Mark's ear, making him shiver.

Their noses were touching and Mark could feel the hot breath from Lucas. They finally connected their lips.

At the time, Mark didn't care if Lucas was leading the kiss or if he was. He just wanted to feel his lips on Lucas.

They separated and joined back together, multiple times. When they separated again, Mark whispered to Lucas. "Let's make this secret. I don't want Jeno to nag me all the time."

Lucas was confused as to why Jeno would nag Mark, but he didn't ask questions. He just nodded and impatiently reconnected their lips again.

Neither Lucas nor Mark knew why they were doing what they were doing, but they continued. Going into this, Mark knew something was going to happen. Good or bad, he didn't know. He just had that feeling that if he kept seeing Lucas, something would happen. But he didn't know what, so he shrugged it off.

Things escalated, Lucas was showing his very dominant side and pressed Mark against a wall that didn't have any cleaning supplies covering it. He moved down to the boy in front of him, kissing his neck.

The two heard the bell ring, and Mark having Mrs. Cho next, quickly pushed Lucas away. He straightened himself up and wiped his lips of the remaining saliva. The way Mark reacted already told Lucas he had Mrs. Cho, or else they'd be continuing.

While Mark rushed out of the closet, Lucas reminded him, "tomorrow, same spot, and let's do the period after!"

"Got it!" Mark yelled through the hallways while scurrying to his next class, ignoring the weird looks from the other students.

"Jeno, why's Mark rushing out of the janitor's closet like that?"

Jeno shut his locker and faced his boyfriend, "what do you mean, Jaemin?"

Jaemin shifted his weight from one leg to the other. Then, he shook his head, "he was in the janitor's closet, and I heard voices, didn't you? It sounded almost like Lucas." Jeno just shook his head.

"I doubt it. I mean, I don't what he'd be doing in there. But I don't think it's Lucas. I talked to him about that already."

Jaemin shook his head in disappointment. Jeno told him about his plan in order to 'make Donghyuck happy', and he didn't like it one bit. "I don't know why you're doing this Jeno."

"Because Jaemin, chill out. I know what I'm doing."

"Jeno, remember everything I'm about to say, okay?" Jaemin started, "this is stupid. Everything about your plan is stupid. For God's sake Jeno, Mark told you multiple times he didn't like Donghyuck, he likes Lucas. He told you multiple times that he didn't want to do it and the only reason why he's still doing it is because he's too kind. He doesn't know how to say no. This whole thing is going to blow up, drama is going to start, and Donghyuck will be left with a broken heart. You of all people should know how fragile he is! Why don't you stop everything now before shit goes down? Save yourself and others from heartbreak and drama. It isn't worth it."

The two love birds didn't realize they were standing there for so long until the bell rang again. "And now we're late," Jaemin huffed before stomping away to class.
