It was already September 3, a new day for the two hopeless lovers.
Mark did his best, Bambam knows that, but... something inside him felt empty too.
He noticed how Yugyeom would only speak to him when needed, ever since yesterday.
The boy would also be by Youngjae's side all the time, instead of being with him. He cuddled with JB and Youngjae when they watched a movie too, unlike the usual, him and Yugyeom.
"Do you think he's mad, Mark? Did I do something wrong?" He asked his boyfriend, who was cuddling him.
The older could only sigh, "No, baby. Nothing is wrong. Do you wanna talk about it?" Bambam nodded, shifting closer to him, if that's possible.
"I just can't imagine Yugyeom not being with me for a whole day, hyung. I feel incomplete" he said with honesty, hug tightening.
Mark kissed his forehead, "You know, I really don't know if I should be the one to tell you, but he likes you Bam. He sacrificed for us, for this. He told me not to waste his sacrifice so I guess he started distancing his own self... I'm sorry Bambi"
This only caused Bambam to cry, sobbing. It pained him, he can't differentiate it if it was pity or pain of Yugyeom not telling him he love him.
Well, will something change, though?
"Babe I gave him pain- it's... it's not supposed to be like this... it's not-"
"You already love him, am I right, Bam?" the younger looked up at him, glossy eyes staring back at his soul.
Two pairs of teary eyes, glistening at each other. "W-what? No, babe, I swear it isn't like that..." he replied, his mouth finding it hard to spit words.
Mark chuckled, even with the tears falling from his eyes. "Tell me honestly. Do you want to be with him the moment I told you?" he smiled, a knife of pain pointing at his heart.
"Mark hyung, babe, please. Let's just not talk about it-"
"Just tell me, baby" he smiled wider, patting Bambam's head in a painfully slow pace, "I'll be fine" and he lied.
Bambam sobbed, "Y-yes..." and the knife stabbed his heart completely, with that one word.
He shifted, getting Bambam off of him. They sat, facing each other, "Then go to him, sleep in his room. I know you want to, I'll be fine right here" Mark insisted, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
Bambam pecked his lips, holding both of Mark's hand. "Babe please? We just made up, I don't want to l-lose you again-"
"That's what your mind says, Bambi. But this?" he pointed at the younger's chest, "It no longer beats for me. It's my fault, and I admit that. I'll be fine, I knew I'd lose you the day I've made that stupid decision, this time will be my punishment, I guess" he continued to smile bitterly.
The younger looked down, but he lifted his face up, tracing from his jawline using his finger. "Now go, Bam. Make it right, it's not too late" he spoke, kissing his forehead before receiving a kiss from the younger.
"I love you, always know that" Bambam smiled one last time, before walking out the room.
Mark looked at the clock by his bedside table, 12:00 am.
Happy birthday to me.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
"Gyeom-ah?" he opened the door, to find Yugyeom there, talking with Youngjae and Jaebum.
Yugyeom signalled the two to leave his room, asking for privacy.
Bambam quickly engulfed him in a hug, after the two left.
"Hey, what's up?" Yugyeom asked, smiling at his friend.
Bambam scoffed, "You know what's up! You shouldn't have done that, you could've told me earlier" he whined, and Yugyeom knew what exactly was he talking about.
He told him, he thought, rubbing circles on Bambam's back. "So you know now, huh? It's fine, I've already accepted it. If not then I wouldn't tell him, right?" he assured, chuckling.
"It's not funny!" he slapped his arm, earning a giggle. "But why are you here, Bam? You should be with him right now" he sighed, a sigh of confusion and comfort. He's always been his comfort.
Bambam broke the hug, his face a bit saddened.
"Mark hyung told me that I already fell for you without me knowing, and it was his fault. He told me and asked me if I wanted to be with you the moment he told me" a disappointed look suddenly showed on Yugyeom's face, "And what did you say?"
Bambam looked at him back, "I said y-yes" he face palmed, standing up out of frustration. "Why do people do dumb things recently?" he mumbled.
Look, he already accepted that Bambam is happier with Mark. Yes, he still loves Bambam, close to moving on actually but he knew Bambam.
And Mark literally just had to tell this. He doesn't know what happened though, but he let Bambam stay. He just hugged him all night, talking with Bambam, or more like interrogating him how he feels for real. He was happy that he had a chance with Bam, too. He just got frustrated.
Soon, they slept, cuddling, with Bambam sighing in content. He knew that this should be better, this should be happier, for him.
Because he chose what's right, not what he wants.
I'm sorry~
