Forgetful Angel (Johnmark)

Chapter 3

(Sorry I haven't been updating at all! I got a new laptop and now I have to share my work to the account on my phone so that I can copy it to Wattpad! This chapter focuses more on Jaehyun and his perspective on the whole ordeal. Anyways, enjoy!)

"And the last member to NCT is... LEE MINHYUNG! Congratulations!" Mark looked up in shock. There was an awkward silence until Doyoung's sobs echoed through the room. Mark immediately knew what was wrong. When they were sharing a room together, Doyoung told him how him and his brother wanted to debut together and hoped his brother at least got a spot. Mark looked over at Doyoung's brother, Donghyun, with an apologetic expression. Donghyun smiled back and went to go give his brother a hug before walking offstage. Mark went to stand next to NCT and tried to apologize over and over to Doyoung but the poor boy didn't want to hear it. He trusted Mark and he felt betrayed. "I'M SORRY!!" Mark screams as he quickly sits up. Jaehyun is by his side in seconds, holding Mark close as he sobs into his chest. "It's ok, you didn't know." Mark has told Jaehyun time and time again that he didn't mean to take donghyun's spot in NCT and admitted to having nightmares about it after Jaehyun, of course, found that out the hard way by cuddling with Mark one night.

Mark woke up with his body feeling heavy but definitely not like this morning. He looked to his side to see Jaehyun gone and when he walked out into the hallway to call for him, he suddenly heard yelling. He walked to the top of the stairs and looked down to see Jaehyun and Johnny going at each other's throats while the others watched. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE TREATING HIM LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT!" "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP, BOTH OF YOU!" Jaehyun, Johnny and the rest of NCT127, looked over at the staircase to see Mark with a tired yet annoyed expression. "Lion, go back upstairs-" "Don't try to sugarcoat shit, hyung!" Mark cuts Jaehyun off and glares into their souls. He then turns to Johnny and slaps him "Don't you EVER blame Jaehyun for your mistakes." Johnny stays silent so Mark turns to Jaehyun and grabs his hand before quickly dragging him upstairs.

"OH MY GOD. I'M AN IDIOT!" Jaehyun calmly pats Mark on the back as he sits down on the bed next to his sulking friend who's now face-planted into said bed. "At least you put him in his place." Jaehyun reassured with a small smile. "What you did was pretty badass." Jaehyun says and Mark turns his head to the side to glare at him. "You do realize I just ruined my only chance that shouldn't even be considered a chance to get back with my ex-best friend, right?" Jaehyun sighed "Then why does it even matter?" Mark suddenly sat up and grabbed Jaehyun by his shoulders "Why does is matter? Why does it matter!? The man I've loved since I met him hates me because I crushed his best friend's dreams into pieces without even trying. Then I decide it's a good idea to slap him in the face!" Mark informs Jaehyun like he hasn't been there for half of this whole mess. Jaehyun then goes quiet. Love? "You love him...?" Mark nods and Jaehyun can feel his heart drop to his stomach but hides any hint of sadness with a smile. Damn, love really is a bitch to deal with. Jaehyun wasn't the best either but he wasn't even that big of an asshole when he TRIED to hate Mark. He just didn't talk to him. Johnny has bullied poor Mark since day 1 and somehow Mark loves HIM!?? "I know you'll manage to get him one day. Maybe not soon, but one day..." Mark smiles and hugs Jaehyun "thanks, hyungie!" Jaehyun holds back his tears and hugs back. "Anytime."

Dinner was silent as usual for Jaehyun's half of the table since he sits with Mark. He subtly watches as Mark gives quick glances to Johnny and blushes while Johnny does the same thing but less blushing. There's still blushing and that's what pisses Jaehyun off the most. Everytime Jaehyun looks back to see if Mark's ok, his heart ends up tearing bit by bit. He suddenly feels a hand on his thigh, softly rubbing back and forth in a comforting manner. Jaehyun follows where the hand came from and is shocked to see that it's from Taeyong. While Mark was sleeping, Jaehyun got up and went to see Taeyong. He's been keeping his love for Mark in for too long and needed to tell someone. Taeyong was his most trusted friend other than Mark of course so he went to him. Jaehyun told him about the whole crush on Mark situation and Johnny happened to overhear and that's how the whole argument broke out. Taeyong must've caught his silent stares and automatically knew what was wrong. Taeyong had yet to apologize, let alone trust Mark but Jaehyun was his best friend and he was willing to set aside their differences to help Jaehyun. Jaehyun smiled sadly and put his hand on top of Taeyong's.

After dinner Mark and Jaehyun went into their shared room. "Mark, I'm going to hang out in Taeyong's room..." Jaehyun trailed off seeing Mark with his headphones in and responding with "mhm"s and "yep"s. Jaehyun sighed and snuck over to Taeyong's dorm. Mark finally looked up from his phone. "Goodnight, Jaehy- huh?" Mark looked in the bathroom connected to the room and couldn't find Jaehyun. He figured Jaehyun went to hang out with the other members so he shrugged and snuggled up in bed. Meanwhile, Jaehyun and Taeyong are in the middle of watching The Conjuring. Every jumpscare that came up made Jaehyun hide himself more and more behind Taeyong and cuddle up close to him. "Calm down, Hyunie. I'll protect you." Taeyong reassures in a mocking tone. Jaehyun slaps Taeyong's arm "Shut up! You'd be scared too if a creepy doll went crazy and tried to attack your child while you were off on a ghost hunt!" Jaehyun pouts but realizes that he's happy with Taeyong. God, he's missed this.

(adding a bit of Jaeyong to the mix since we can't just leave our knight in shining armor all alone! Again, sorry for the late update! A lot has been happening with Thanksgiving, finals, and Christmas so hopefully this will make up for it. Love y'all!)
