Summer Fight

Unmade decision

"What do I do?"

"I don't know what to tell you" Johnny voiced out seeing the clear distress Mark was under as he held his head in his hands.

"I know our friendship is probably beyond fixing now but there has to be something I can do" Mark said lifting his head up to look at his tall brunette friend in front of him.

"Well depends, how do you really feel about him?" Johnny asked emphasizing on the word 'you' as he put his hands on his lap leaning forward on the swivel chair in his room.

"I told you..."

"No you didn't. You told me how Haechan feels about you but how do you feel about him?" Johnny enquired shaking his head at Taeil who opened the door asking him to leave with his eyes.

"I mean... he's my closest friend" Mark says bringing Johnny's attention back towards him.

"You're avoiding the question" Johnny bluntly said seeing the panic in Mark's eyes increase.

"I'm not. I'm just..."

"Yes you are" Johnny raised his voice silencing Mark's stuttering.

"I'm guessing Haechan has liked you for a while now but have you ever stopped to consider maybe you may like him too" Johnny revealed making Mark more confused than he already was.

"I... I'm not gay"

Johnny couldn't help but roll his eyes at the younger boy he had come to think of as a brother. The guy was way too thick for such a complicated situation

"How else do you explain being jealous of Jeno and the other dreamies." Johnny said starting get a little bit frustrated at Mark's absolute cluelessness.

"I just wanted him to spend more time with me" Mark stammered out sitting straight up on Johnny's bed.

"Do you get jealous when I spend time with other's"

"No, but that doesn't mean I have feelings for him" Mark yelled out making Johnny raise his hand in mock surrender.

"I'm not gonna claim I even remotely understand what you're feeling." Johnny said reducing his voice to a much calmer term.

"Sexuality is complicated many people do found out at a young age but many don't. I just hope you don't rule that option out" He added putting a comforting hand on Mark's shoulder.

"What am I supposed to do?" Mark asked once again shaking his head in frustration.

"Talk to him, no matter what conclusion you come to, talk to him and clear things out once and for all. It's better for the both of you that way." Johnny said waving his hand to dismiss Taeyong who was about to walk in to the room. There was really no place for privacy in their dorm not even inside their own rooms.

"If you do find out that you don't just let him down slowly, you guys are not only best friends but also band mates and..." Johnny said being cut off by Yuta walking into the room uttering something loudly in Japanese.

"What the hell do you want?" Johnny screamed at Yuta making him stop in his tracks near the door.

"I was just looking for Taeil have you seen him?" Yuta asked with one hand still on the door knob.

"Yeah, he's right here" Johnny said before flipping him the finger watching him narrow his eyes at him.

"Real mature. Could've just said no" Yuta mumbled closing the door behind him. Johnny let out a sigh before focusing his attention on Mark once again.

"Just think about it okay" Johnny said patting his head lightly

"I mean how much more worse can it get" He added seeing a frown appear on Mark's face instantly regretting his efforts at lightening the mood.

"I'm just gonna give you some space" Johnny finally said going into the living room, embracing the chaos of the 9 member dorm they live in.
