LOVE STORY

THE PROGRESSION

When Vee came out from the shower, he saw several notifications from his friends. They're mainly chatting about the trip for the Engineering faculty. Vee decided to ignore it when he heard commotion from outside. He quickly wear his t-shirt and decided to check on the matter. When he opened the door, he saw Mark with a slightly older boy having an argument. 

"I don't want to hear anything from you P. We've ended it all right." said Mark, his face is tired.

" What? Why are you being difficult? You've always wanted my attention before and now that I've given it to you, you're playing hard to get?" asked the man. Vee furrowed his eyebrows.

" P, just go." sighed Mark. 

" You should stop being a bitch Mark. I've come back to you so what now? You suddenly moved on?" said the man while roughly gripped onto Mark's arm. 

" P' Pack! Let me go. Yes, I've moved on. Now, you can go back to your girlfriend. Let me go." said Mark, struggling to escape from the grip.

" Let him go dude. You're hurting him." said Vee, pulling Mark away from Pack.

" Wow, no wonder you've moved on. You've been spreading legs for this man huh?" accused Pack. 

" He's not like you P' Pack." said Mark. 

" Okay fine, I'll go. Just don't come back crying to me. And one more thing dude, this boy is nothing than a bitch. He's a home wrecker too. Looking all innocent and hahaha, you should stay away from him . Don't be like me." said Pack, smirking to Vee. Vee smirked back.

" Thank you for the advice bro. Never knew someone like you can be so caring to stranger. Now you can go before I destroy that ugly face of yours." responded Vee. He then, pull Mark into the room. Mark looked down avoiding Vee's eyes. Vee looked annoyed as hell and he didn't know why. Is it because Vee now knew about his past relationship with someone else's boyfriend?

" Hoii, what with that face?" asked Vee, nudging Mark. 

" Huh?" 

" You're making that sad puppy look." said Vee.

" I'm not.. Erm, P'Vee about just now. Thank you." said Mark.

" Ohh, that is nothing. I'm just helping my junior." replied Vee. They both fall into silence.

"It's good." said Vee.

"Huh?" Mark is confused.

" It's good that you stopped associating yourself with him. He has a girlfriend right?" said Vee. Mark bit his lips and nodded.

" I..I know I was wrong. I was in relationship with someone else's boyfriend. I couldn't help it P. I was stupidly in love. He said that he likes me. I thought he really is. I thought that he will break up with her and then be with me. I've waited for him like he told me to. I waited for a very long time. I was stupid P. I just-" Vee saw it, Mark was crying. He closed their distance and hug the broken hearted junior.

"Shhh Mark, shhhh. You did it right. You're stupid before but you've realised it now right. Don't cry, you will be just fine without him." consoled Vee. He didn't know why, his heart hurts seeing the smaller man cried. Mark stayed in Vee's embrace for quite long that he didn't realise he's falling asleep on him. Vee smiled when he realised that Mark has fallen asleep. He adjusted their position so that Mark can be more comfortable. Still holding the junior, Vee fall asleep too.

Vee opened his eyes when he heard a phone ringing. It was Mark's. He looked at the still asleep man. He took the phone and answered it, it was James.

"Hello James."

"Auu, who's this?" 

"It's P'Vee."
