arriving at the table where his friends are sitting, he then sat beside johnny. you see mark is very famous around his school, and he's known for being "too cold" as he literally doesn't talk to anyone, but now all of the people inside the cafeteria laid their eyes on the male, some are looking at him weirdly and some are whispering to each other as mark made his way to a specific table.

"damn mark, what's up?" jaehyun greeted the younger but mark only raised his brow, "a lot of people are looking at you today, did something happened?"

the question made johnny snickered, "you know mark doesn't like to talk to people, right?" the older asked, while examining the cafeteria, and he guessed it, eyes still not leaving mark's, "they probably got shocked that mark knows how to socialize."

all of them let out a small laugh. ever since jaehyun, ten and yangyang welcomed him yesterday, they all started treating the male like they've been hanging out for a long time. and mark doesn't mind that at all.

"just don't mind them." mark simply said, and then started eating his lunch.

"oh wait," ten started, voice coming out as muffles since his mouth is filled with foods, "how's the website-dating thingy that jaehyun told you?"

just when he was about to respond to the question, johnny took the lead. "he did it! right mark?" the older asked nudging mark who's looked down on his food and couldn't help but to feel embarrassed.

i mean he's crazy famous mark lee, a lot of people liked him and wanted to be his date this valentine, he can literally just picked whoever he wants among the crowd just like picking a flower in the garden but nope, he decided to take this website instead.

"thank me later." jaehyun smirked, shooting mark a wink. "i'm pretty sure they'll gave you a number right away, did they gave you one?"

mark then nodded, "they did."

"sooooo..?" johnny trailed his words, as if he's waiting for mark to say more.

"and so, we talked."

all of them let out a squeal. they don't know why they suddenly got so excited over this. "so how's she? what's her name?" jaehyun threw a question again.

the younger then paused for a second, his eyes wondering around the cafeteria. "i-i picked a boy...?"

"everyone on this table is going to date a boy, how can you just assume that mark will date a girl? huh?" johnny the playfully slapped jaehyun's arm, acting like the older just hurt mark.

"we just talked..." mark slowly said, "but i still don't know him in real life."

jaehyun's brows furrowed harder, "how's that possib—"

"is that why you rejected every girl that walks near you?" yangyang asked, letting out the most obvious gasp ever, "but girls aren't the only ones who are crazy for you." yangyang added and all of them tilted their heads.

"there's a lot of guys that likes you too," yangyang continues, "just like him." yangyang pointed at someone, looking towards mark with heart eyes. it looks like he didn't even notice that he's been staring at the older for a long time.

mark then looked back at where yangyang is pointing at, and he did saw someone looking at him like he's the most interesting thing ever—which is true—"his name is like, d-donghyuck..?" yangyang tilted his head, guessing that he pronounced the name right.

"right donghyuck?" jaemin nudged the older's arm, eyes still locked down on his food, "donghyuck?"

still not hearing any response from his friend, he looked up and saw donghyuck spaced out. following wehere his gaze is, he squinted his eyes, "pretty boy?"

jaemin's voice made donghyuck snapped out and realized jaemin's face is closer to him, "hey! what are you doing?"

"the real question is," renjun decided to butt in, into the conversation, "who are you looking at?"

the older bashfully rubbed his nape, looking around except his friends' stare at him. "he's looking at that famous boy across the cafeteria." jaemin simply said, causing donghyuck to slapped his arm, as jaemin didn't realize that he said that too loud.

renjun and jeno decided to secretly look behind them where the so-called famous boy is located. "mark lee?!" jeno whisper-shouted, looking at the tanned male with wide eyes.

"who do you think is the famous student here in this school?" renjun fought.

"screw that," jaemin shook his head, "how's the website i gave you?"

donghyuck looked down, "i did the website, and they gave me a number—fast, but..."

"but...?" all three, jaemin, jeno, and renjun said in unison, eagerly waiting for donghyuck's sentence to finish.

"but we still don't know each other in real life..." donghyuck said with a pout. he too, is excited to meet his valentine for this february 14th.

"how even?!" jaemin asked, confusion started to grow on his face.

"to be honest, i don't know either," said donghyuck, grabbing his water bottle on the table, "i gues i just have to wait for valentines to know him personally." he finished, shrugging his shoulders.

"i'll go fill my water." he stood up from his seat and all of his friends nodded.

walking towards the wayer filling station, he saw few students whispering to each other about that popular school boy.

mostly girls will talk about him for the whole day. just him, him, and only him. them trying to get the male's attention, and continuesly asking the boy to be their date this valentine.

finally finishing filling up his bottle. turning around, he was about to close the cap when he suddenly bumped into someone, resulting in the water spilling all over him and the person he bumped into.

he immediately screw the cap, even though the bottle is only half-filled, and he bowed down, continuesly, "i'm so sorry! i didn't mean t—" looking up, his eyes widened.

it was mark. mark lee. that famous student everyone is crazy for. "oh no! i'm so sorry! i wasn't looking, i—"

"shut it." said the older, his voice sending shivers through donghyuck spine. mark dusted his shirt, as if the water will go away, "thanks for ruining my shirt... and oh, my day." and with that, he walked past the younger.

at this point, donghyuck just wanted to bury himself 6ft underground when he saw all eyes inside the cafeteria is on him.
