Mine || JohnHyuck - Markhyuck

Seven

Mark woke up to the feeling of hair poking at his chin, making him feel uncomfortable and itchy. He opened his eyes, finding nothing but darkness. But that's not what he noticed first. No, what made him freeze in his spot was the feeling of arms being wrapped around his body.

"What the hell?" Mark whispered.

He was about to make a move to push whoever this person was out of his bed, but was stopped when he heard a familiar voice.

"Stop moving~ I'm trying to sleep." The boy whined, tightening his gripping around Mark, adjusting his head (which was rested comfortably on Marks chest) to make himself more comfortable.

Mark felt his heart stop for a moment. Just a moment thought, before it started to beat faster, and louder, and very very noticeable.

"Jeez, why is your heart beating so fast?" Donghyuck snickered teasingly, a small smirk making its way to his pink lips which needed chapstick.

Mark could feel the blood rush to his cheeks, making them red and warm. He gulped as he felt Donghyuck's fingers start rubbing his ribs softly, gently, soothingly. Except it wasn't making Mark relax, it was making him panic, his head filling with thoughts.

The room grew quiet.

Before Mark made a move to ask a question. "Why are you here?" He asked after his heart and thoughts calmed down. It was only Donghyuck, his best friend. His annoying best friend.

Donghyuck didn't answer the question for a few seconds. "Because I felt lonely in my dorm." The boy whispered softly. "Johnny and Doyoung aren't home yet."

Mark instantly felt bad for the boy. Being alone in a dorm was pretty sad and lonely during the night. "Why didn't you just go to Taeil?" He asked, voice equally as soft. "I thought you didn't like me."

Mark didn't mean for it to sound salty or sulky. He was merely trying to make the atmosphere more humorous. But the moment those words slipped past his lips, he could feel the mood go straight down.

"Mark," Donghyuck sighed, leaning off of Mark to lie next to him instead, his head rested on the soft pillow. He stared at the ceiling, trying to look for the right words to say.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad or anything! I'm fine, truly." Mark said quickly. Except, he wasn't fine. His heart still felt broken and empty. But he wasn't mad. Just...sad.

"No no, I wanted to talk about this properly. Last time... last time didn't feel right." Donghyuck said quietly. He closed his eyes, and Mark could hear his gentle breathing.

Why was he suddenly feeling nervous?

"I lied." Donghyuck blurted out. Mark could feel his body go tense beside him.

"What do you mean you lied?" Mark asked with confusion written all over his face. He turned to look at Donghyuck, who he could barely make out the lines of his face. With the room still being so dark, he couldn't read what kind of facial expression the boy had.

"I mean that, I lied about not liking you back," Donghyuck whispered so lowly, so quietly that anybody wouldn't be able to hear him, but to Mark, those words were so loud in his ear.

Mark couldn't form any proper words, couldn't wrap his head around this new information. His head was running with so many thoughts, his heart felt confused. He had high hopes, but also felt betrayed.

"Huh?" Was all Mark could let out.

"I've liked you forever. But you couldn't see that. You couldn't see all the effort I've made to at least show you how much I've liked you." Donghyuck said with a quiet voice. "I've tried to move on. I forced myself to move on, and it didn't work."
