soulmate. markhyuck

one.

a fifteen-year-old donghyuck finally got all the courage he needed to confess to his best friend.

is it bad to fall in love with your best friend? the one that always be on you're side, the one that will make you laugh even in the worst situation?

the one person that you can cry with? or it'll just be ruined what you all had in the very first beginning?

but here he is, donghyuck managed to pull a smile as he walked close to his crush—best friend. "hey.." he nudges his best friend by his arm. "um.."

"are you okay?" he asked, and held both donghyuck's arms, tightly. "why do you seem nervous?" he crouched down, trying to meet the younger's face.

"pft... of course, I'm fine." he tries to form his cheerful smile and looks straight into the older man's eyes. "i just need to tell you something."

the older was silent but he was looking at the younger with anticipation.

"i..." the younger looked at the ground as hundreds of thoughts filled his head. he tried hardly to calm himself. "i... i l-like y-you." he instantly felt regret when he felt the hands on his arms loosen as he looked up.

his best friend was in shock, and his mouth trying to say something. "oh.." the older felt speechless, as he tries his best to form words "donghyuck... i-i'm not like that." mark said yet there was a hint of hesitation in his voice as he dropped his hands down and stepped back.

"what?" donghyuck rapidly blinked, trying to process the words that have been thrown to him. "mark!" he saw his best friend already running away.

as donghyuck closed his bedroom door, he plopped himself onto his bed, feeling all sorts of feels on his chest. what does he mean by that? the male thought as he stared at the ceiling.

"fuck." he mumbled and slapped his face only him and god knows how it hurts. now he has completely ruined his relationship with his best friend.

how can he talk to mark now? can he fix it all again? obviously, no.

no. he was supposed to be mad. if he's going to reject him, at least make it more reasonable.

maybe..  just maybe he's giving too much meaning to things that mark does for him—all the skinship he does with the older, the teasing they always do...

he gave too much meaning to things... the younger thought.

as the older opened his house, he was immediately greeted by his mom. "oh. i thought donghyuck's coming home with you?" her mom smiled and immediately frowned as he saw mark's smile immediately disappear.

"i.." he tried to form words. "i messed up.." that's not what he meant, donghyuck confessed at the wrong time, he was supposed to say 'i like you too' but fuck himself.

"what do you mean?" he walks closer to his son.

"y-you...you know i-i like donghyuck r-right?" he stammered as tears started forming in his eyes and his mother nodded. "but.. i also know dad wants me to like g-girls.

his mom grabbed him by his shoulder and buried his son's face on his chest. "let's wait for your soulmate."
