Childhood friends

When will we get the truth?

Mark walked home, tired, and defeated. His best friend was ignoring him, and he didn't know what to do with himself either.

He's spent most of his life denying and hating these things, and now when he finally did something about it, it cost him Hyuck.

He didn't even understand what the hell happened that night. Did he do it because he liked Hyuck? Did he do it to see if he actually could like a guy?

Hopefully, no one knows what happened that night, no one besides Johnny, and now Hyuck knows that he likes him.

He's caused so many problems for his friends because of his denial. He's hurt his friends because of himself, but why can't they understand that he can't accept it? He can't be... gay. He can't! He's had girlfriends, he plays soccer! He's straight!

But if he's straight, then why did he do that to Hyuck?

Because he was drunk! Yes because he was drunk!

No, that's not true. He didn't do it just because of that, and he doesn't know what to feel about that, doesn't know what to do.

He's scared of talking to Taeyong, though the other had already been informed of Hyuck and his fight, but he couldn't tell him the reason why. 

When he arrived at his home, he went directly into his room and fell onto his bed.

He didn't like how he feels so lost and defeated. How lonely he feels when he doesn't have Hyuck.

He hated how the boy ignored him and how the team kept mentioning that night. He hated how he didn't know what to tell them because he didn't know what to tell himself. He wanted to text the younger so badly, but somehow he knew the other needs time. He'll come around just like how Mark always did.

"What's up, guys!" Tao's voice sounded as he caught up with Yuta and Sicheng as they were walking to class

"Nothing much" Yuta answered as he threw an arm over Sicheng's shoulder, possessive much Tao couldn't help but think "Is that so, I wonder what happened to the two of you at the party" Tao winked at them. The two shared a glance before shrugging "Nothing much" Sicheng muttered, but his burning ears told a different story "Right" Tao snickered

"Well, where did you go?" Yuta threw back "Probably to be with..." he stopped before continuing in a whisper "Sehun?" he threw Tao a smirk, who only shrugged but couldn't hide the smile "Well, you know..." he stuttered, causing the others to chuckle "No biggy Tao, go get some" Yuta winked "Oh!" Sicheng suddenly blurted out "That reminds me" he let out "Kris was seriously messed up that night"

"Yeah, he drank till he passed out, right?" Tao chuckled "Uhm" Sicheng let out, and Yuta threw the other a cautious glance "Right?" Tao spoke, and the other two exchanged looks again "Not exactly..." Sicheng let out, causing Tao to let out an annoyed breath "I knew it. They're being quiet about something" he muttered "Actually" Yuta interjected "If you listen to the gossiping, it's not like anyone is being silent about it"

This made Tao stop in his tracks and stare at the others "What do you mean?" Yuta shrugged "Everyone knows about it, but I guess they don't want you to know" at this comment Tao was fuming, why the hell wouldn't his best friend tell him what he did?! "Okay, but don't get pissed, I seriously don't know what they're doing, don't take it out on us okay?"

"I won't, but  I guess I need to talk to Kris very soon" the others nodded and the 3 continued to their class.

In there, Baekhyun was staring outside the window as sorrowful as always. It has to be Chanyeol Tao thought. It can only be him that has gotten him in the slumps like that.
