📖

Haechan peeks his head from the entrance door, but doesn't see Mark at the counter. He walks in the library, checking aisle by aisle until he notices a blonde glasses boy, rummaging through the shelf. Haechan gulps down as he walks slowly towards Mark. Seeing how the older doesn't notice his presences, he clears throat catching Mark's attention. He sighs and turns around, "Lucas, I told you I'm b-", he almost drops the book in his hand as he was shock to see Haechan.

"Hi..."

"Oh, H-Haechan. I didn't expect to see you." Mark adjusts his glasses.

'God, every time I see him, those memories keep appearing', is what both Haechan and Mark are thinking about at that moment.

"I- um- well, Lucas asked me if I can help him with....something..."

"Which is?" Mark raise an eyebrow, signalling the younger to continue. Haechan rubs his nape, trying to think of an answer that won't expose Lucas's request. "You know what never mind that, have you eaten? 'cause I haven't. Let's grab something to eat to fill our stomach cause food is good and gives energy to your body and brain and also taste very good unless you ate a bad one but then again a-"

"Yo yo, chill out kid. One sentence at a time."

Mark puts his hand up, signalling Haechan to slow down. It was as if he was rapping but talking. "Oh sorry-" Haechan awkwardly laugh. Mark puts the book in his hand into a slot between the books on the shelf.

"Let me guess. This is the favor Lucas asked you to do? Taking me to eat?" Mark glance at Haechan whose eyes are on the floor, swaying his body back and forth a bit. He nods, still avoiding eye contact. Mark crosses arm as he lets out a long 'hmmm', body still not fully facing Haechan.

"And why does he thinks asking you would make a difference in my decision?" Mark turns to Haechan with a raised eyebrow. Haechan panics at the question. Technically he doesn't know why Lucas asked him. They're not even a thing or even dating, so why would anything he says change Mark's mind? Haechan quickly thinks of answer that wouldn't show his truest emotion.

"Because he knows I will annoy you until you die if you don't put food in your stomach" Haechan says teasingly with a smile plastered on his face. Mark rolls his eyes, already annoyed by the boy's cheeky attitude. "I wonder if that's true." Mark turns his back to Haechan as he pushes the trolley slowly to the other part of the shelf. Haechan pout angrily, seeing how it was hard to convince this bookworm in front of him.

Seeing how there's no other way, Haechan walks faster than Mark stops in front of the trolley, causing Mark unable to walk with it anymore. Though more than annoyed or angry, Mark was amused. Mark lets go of the trolley's handle, crossing his arm as he leans his side to the shelf with a raise eyebrow. Haechan wasn't expecting such a reaction from the older so he was taken back for a moment.

He coughs slightly before putting both his hands on his hip. "If you won't listen to me, then I won't let you study at all ever whenever wherever whatsoever." He smiles, feeling like he won the fight by now. But Mark still wanted to play this game of his.

"Does that mean you'll follow me everywhere?"

"Everywhere!" Haechan answers instantly.

"Every day?", he continues.

"Every day!"

"Every hour and minute?", he asks again. Haechan nods with a confidence smile.

"Meaning you won't even go to class?", he raises an eyebrow at the younger. Though hoping the younger would say no, he said the opposite with a confident nod. "Yup!"

Haechan became confuse when Mark suddenly laugh, shaking his head. Did he say something funny?

Mark walks closer to Haechan with a sigh, "Well, since you won't let me study at all if I don't eat anything, I guess I don't have a choice, huh." He chuckles and ruffles Haechan's hair lightly. The boy couldn't stop a blush from appearing. His heart thumping.

I really do like Mark

"Come on then." He starts to walk when Haechan tug onto Mark's sleeve. The older look back to the younger with a puzzle face.

"M-Mark hyung. I....I've got something to ask." Haechan bit his lower lip, his eyes on the ground. Mark turns his body to face Haechan, waiting for the younger to say what he wants to say.

"A-are we...um...Is..is there...uhh wait- hm... You and me..li-like..you know..-" Haechan tries to find the right words to say but every time he creates a sentence, his mind would reject it and created a new and a better one but then reject that sentence and thinks of a better one and so on. Mark sighs causing him to stop talking.

"'Are we together?' 'Is there something going on between us?' 'You and me, are we an item?', Is that what you wanted to ask? " Mark lifts an eyebrow to Haechan, who refuses to look at him. He neither nods nor shake his head.

Mark lets out a chuckle and walks closer to the boy. Haechan sees that Mark was standing in front of him since he could see their shoes almost touching each other. He was startled when he felt a hand on his chin. Mark lifts his face slowly, causing the other to face him, eyes lock on each other.

"We could be if you want? Obviously, I have feelings for you that I can't deny anymore." He smiles warmly, staring at the younger lovingly. Haechan's eyes widen at the older's answer.

He likes me too?

Haechan could feel his heart exploding. Feelings he doesn't know what to call. "A-are y-you sure you're ok wi-with me, Hyung?", Haechan eyes blinks a few times, staring into the older's eyes. Hacehan needed the confirmation from the other so that he knows they both agree on this relationship. He doesn't want to be the only one wanting it.

Nonetheless, his question was answered when Mark leans closer and kisses his cheek softly, hugging the younger after. "I like you, Donghyuck.", he confesses.

Haechan's eyes widen, not believing his ears. He immediately hugs Mark back, gripping his back and burying his face onto Mark's shoulder. "I like you too, Mark." He says, holding back his tears that came out for reasons he doesn't know. Mark pulls away, chuckling when seeing the younger.

"Are you that happy that you're crying? Such a kid." Mark pinches his cheek playfully as Haechan rolls his eyes.

"Maybe it was a mistake liking you", he retorts. Mark laughs, ruffling the boy's hair until it became messy. "Too late! No take backs. You're stuck with me so get used to it. Plus, I know you enjoy it when I tease you." Mark smirks playfully. Haechan puff out his cheek, looking away, trying to make it look like he was annoyed but it was more like, he was embarrassed with what Mark said.

"Shut up", he says softly, making Mark smile even more. Mark pinches the boy's nose playfully. "Come on, let's get some food. I am kind of hungry."

Haechan blush lightly, following Mark from behind as he notices the older already making his way out the door.

"W-wait up!"
