"yuna just let me be." hyejin said, dragging her friend out with her. "just do what i say."

"don't blame me if something wrong happened." yuna snorted, and before they knew it, they're already standing in front of the house.

hyejin pushed yuna behind at some concrete wall, "hide here." she whisper-shouted, placing her index finger on his mouth.

hyejin let out a heavy sigh before knocking on the door.

-----

walking slowly, "hyejin?!" donghyuck jolted his head up as he heard the name and walk closely at the older.

the younger's eyes widened when he saw her again, mark noticed it and made donghyuck hide behind him, "i-i'm here to say sorry," she said, giving the older sad puppy eyes. "i... i'm deeply sorry for i did to him...donghyuck." she hung her head low.

the younger's male's eyes immediately softened, walking in front of mark and placed his hands on hyejin's shoulder. "baby, no." mark stopped, but donghyuck only gave him a bright smile.

looking up, she met eyes with donghyuck, "it's fine." he told.

"r-really..?" hyejin went for a tight hug and snuggle her face in donghyuck's neck. "t-thank you... so m-much." she muttered and let a tear of joy escaped her eyes.

"cut the crap. that's too much." mark detached donghyuck from the female, hugging him by the waist.

hyejin let out a chuckle, before bowing a ninety degree. "let's be friends." she reached out for a handshake, acting like she just met him today, donghyuck gladly accepted giving him a smile.

"i-i'll go n-now."

both lovers nodded and she left giving donghyuck her widest smile.

walking completely out of the house, he approached her friend, which is hiding behind the wall. "now.. my plan will finally begin." she smirked evilly.

"someone's pulling up." yuna saw a car parking in front of the house and harshly grabbed her wrists, making both of them hide behind the wall.

"let's go." hyejin whispered, pulling her friend once again with her.

-------

"she's actually nice." donghyuck said, closing the door. he looked at his boyfriend for a reaction, and he only saw him sulking. "why?" donghyuck giggles.

"you hugged her." mark childishly crossed his arms together, acting like he's in a tantrum. "come here."

donghyuck opened his arms wide and signalled mark for a hug, but instead of hugging back, he picked the younger up and lead him back towards the living room.

mark sat on the couch and bring donghyuck to his lap. "you're way cuter than me and i hate it."

"who said that?"

"you're acting like one." mark chuckled, leaning in for a kiss, but the younger refused and turn his head to the side. "fix that problem markie."

"how—"

before mark can even take a hold of his lover, the door bell rang again, causing the older to let out a groan.

"again?" mark rolled his eyes and lean his head on the couch as if he did something exhausting

standing up, he lazily walked towards the door and went twisting the metal knob. when he opened the door, someone immediately pushed him to the side and welcoming herself in.

"donghyuck, honey? are you okay?" mrs. lee search for the male and saw him standing in front of the couch, looking at her with full confusion.

once she saw him, he cupped both his cheeks, "are you okay? are you hurt?" she asked, brushing her hand through the tanned male's hair.

seconds later, another person let himself in, "hey stop that, you're scaring him." mr. lee rushed inside and tried to detach his wife from donghyuck.

"hyejin hurted you right? do you want me to call the police for you?"

mark sighed as observed the scene, walking towards donghyuck, "mom, it's been 24 hours. he's completely fine." mark stated, lacing an arm on donghyuck.

the younger giggled before taking a bow, "yes, i'm completely fine. she actually apologized to me." donghyuck said, shooting both mark's parents with a smile.

"are you sure she's sincere? what if he just wanted to be close and after that she'll get mark from yo—"

"honey, just shut up." mark's dad said, placing a hand on her wife's mouth.

both of the boys chuckled while looking at the two couples bickering.

-------

yuna's eyes immediately widened at her friend's idea "hyejin you can't just do that!" yuna defend, slapping a her arm a little too harsh.

yuna disapproved with almost everything that she suggest, hyejin gave up, she ruffled her hair in frustration before releasing a deep sigh. "well shit, i can't think of anymore ideas."

"i really think you just have to... give up." yuna said, as she leaned back at her chair, rolling here eyes. "he never liked you in the first place."

those words, those last words slapped hyejin hard in the face. he remembered how her and mark make memories together, well those memories are not the memory you'll expect.

she remembered every single second, the time where she'll just drown at the older's eyes, lost in the older's giggle, and it includes the moment she confessed, she can only just laughed at herself on how stupid she was.. which is true though.

"no." hyejin said, firmly as she look straight at her friend's eye. she'll not give up like that, she will continue the memory. "i wish i can get over him, but i can't... so, no."

yuna can only look at hyejin with concern. ever since then, her and hyejin are like complete sisters.

she know damn well how obsessed hyejin is to mark, she knows every detail of it.

she pulled her in his arms and let hyejin sobbed between her neck. "keep it down, we're on public." yuna chuckled and tried to lift the atmosphere, caressing hyejin's arms.

—3 years ago.

"i'm sure he like you too." yuna cheered as she saw her friend fidgeting with her hands. both of them stood in front of the classroom, waiting for someone to walk out.

after a few minutes wait... someone opened the door. both of the girls jolted their attention and immediately walk towards.

"um.. mark can i talk to you?" hyejin stopped the older, walking in front of him, yuna took this as a sign to leave both of them, and waited outside the building.

"sure.." mark look at the female with confusion, but agreed anyways. hyejin exhaled before looking straight at the older's eyes.

"i...i-i like you." she whispered but still audible for the male to hear.

"hyejin..um.. i-i'm sorry, i can't look at you the same way." mark said as politely as he can, he took a bow before stepping a heel, but before he could hyejin took his wrists.

"a-are you s-sure?" she furrowed her brows, and eyes started to blur. mark slightly nodded before walking completely out, leaving hyejin.

she runs out of the building towards her friend who's sitting at one of the benches.

she shook her head as 'he rejected me'
and yuna immediately pulled her for a hug. "i don't want keep hoping anymore."

—3 months ago.

hyejin was on her way to his house, when he saw a familiar someone. "so.. is he the reason why you rejected me?" she spoke stopping someone on their tracks.

"hyejin? okay, look. you already confessed to me five times and I already rejected you five times." the older said coldly.

"and you see this?" mark lifted both his and donghyuck hands up, showing their hands are intertwined "i like him."

"mark do you see him he's a guy! i'm a girl! i'm pretty!" hyejin shouted trying to make a scandal at the streets.

"i'm prettier, i'm rich, i have a lot of money, we could make a child." hyejin continued while ruffling her hair.

"i like you mark, i still like you!" she stomped her feet on the ground, clenching her fists. "mark?" she look around for any sign of the two. "mark? mark, what the fuck." she shouted making all people on the streets look at her.

"honey, they already left." an old lady spoke pointing towards mark and donghyuck's direction. "ugh.
