A month later

"Jaemin! Renjun!" Mark shouted, running up to Jaemin when he was walking home with Renjun. Jaemin and Renjun both turned around when they heard his voice and they both stopped.

"I need help!" He said, frantically. Jaemin was shocked, he looked like he really needed help. "Come to the cafe with me and I'll tell you what I need help with!" Mark said, dragging them both by the arms all the way to the cafe.

It's not like Jaemin and Renjun had anything to do that day anyways.

Once they all got there they sat down at a table and decided to get drinks before Mark started to talk to them about what he needed help with.

"So you know the way there is going to be a end of the year dance prom thingy?"

Jaemin and Renjun nodded. The principal of the school had announced that there would be a dance at the end of the year this year about three days prior to this. There was only a week till the end of the year of school for them, thinking about getting outfits, who they would go with was such a hassle already.

"Yeah, and?"

"I.. I wanted to ask Hyuck out at the dance, but I don't know how and if I should or not? I'm always thinking about him saying no!" Mark rambled on and on, he was practically sweating at this point he was that nervous and it was still a bit of a wait for the dance to arrive.

"He'll definitely say yes!" Renjun said, trying to make sure Mark didn't worry too much. Mark and Donghyuck really did have things for each other; they were always going out together, hanging around each other, etc. Of course he'd say yes.

"Yeah Hyuck definitely would, have you seen those eyes when he looks at you? They light up like stars." Jaemin added on, nudging at Marks shoulder teasingly, earning a slap from him.

"I mean.. I don't know if he really likes me the way I like him." Mark said, sighing while running a hand through his hair. Renjun took a sip of his drink and then remembered something, Donghyuck had told him something about a crush.. and Mark so obviously he did like Mark! Though, Renjun wasn't the type to just straight up tell someone somebodys secret (even if he didn't know if it was supposed to be kept a secret or not.) so he kept it to himself.

They kept trying to convince Mark that Donghyuck actually did like him back, but it was a struggle. He kept doubting it, which wouldn't be the right thing to do in this situation. It'd make him less confident and more nervous when the time came to ask him out at the dance.

I should tell him what Hyuck said, right? Hmm I don't know, Markhyuck is kinda my ship though.. Okay, I'll just tell him not to tell Donghyuck that I told him his secret. Yeah. Renjun thought, nodding his head at his thoughts and clearing his throat with a cough.

"Um... Don't tell Donghyuck I said this but, a week or two ago he said something to me about having a crush on you, I'm sure. So you don't need to worry! He definitely liked you back." He said, looking at Mark with a smile as his face lit up. Mark gasped, sitting back in his seat.

"You better not be joking, Renjun!"

"I'm not, I swear!"

Jaemin smiled as well, happy his friends crush liked him back, he was thankful Renjun had this information or they would've gotten nowhere and to the point where Mark just gave up and just decided to not ask Hyuck out. They were relieved.

"Really?! Oh my fucking god. I need to calm down. This is my opportunity to literally date the most fabulous, precious boy ever." At this point, Mark needed a fan, he was literally sweating buckets just thinking about it.

"Good luck Mark, Donghyuck is a hard one to please. So, you better get a suit and tie on and look your fucking best." Jaemin said, laughing a bit at the part 'Donghyuck is a hard one to please' and only because it was true. He was always picky with his food, picky in what clothes his Mother tried to buy him in the store; Jaemin knew this because Donghyuck always rambled on about how his parents tried to make him wear ugly cardigans.

"I'm literally going to wear my best suit, don't worry about it. Plus, when he's around me he's not hard to please." Mark said, taking a drink from his straw, finishing to the drink in one sip.

"Maybe for you, but I've known him for a long time and if I got him shit like a Louis Vitton bag, he'd tell me to bring it back and get him a pink one instead." The pink haired said, looking at Mark with a look that said 'Yes, it's true'.

Mark rolled his eyes and they all laughed together for another hour in the cafe, just talking about what they would wear to the dance, maybe if there was a king or queen (maybe even king and king or queen and queen) seeing as this was a prom king of thing. Mark definitely thought Jaemin and Renjun would win. They were actually surprised Renjun actually wanted to go, seeing as he was shy being around a lot of people but he said it would be okay if he was with Jaemin and his friends, which was nice.

When they all decided to leave and go home, Mark thanked them for convincing him and trying to make him less nervous about asking Donghyuck out.

"Thank you guys so much."

"No problem!"

"Yeah no worries, we'll see you at school."

They went in different directions now; Jaemin and Renjun one way and Mark the other way.

Lets hope nothing bad happens at the dance.
