mark found it hard to believe that. it felt like jaebeom was the only thing park cared about.

"yeah right."

"stop it mark." and mark was taken aback, ".. when you're here, i don't wanna be park, i wanna be jinyoung again, so badly... i want to joke with bambam and jackson and be the leader people want..."

he paused.

"but i can't.. i can't because jaebeom will always be here...i just.. i want him to leave me alone."

"if you wanted to move on so bad, why would you say i was lying? why would you take jaebeom's side?"

park sighed, "i don't know.. he looked at me and i don't know.. but mark i want to take it back."

"and why on earth should i trust you?!"

"because i'm me. and because if anyone can get me to stop loving jaebeom, it's you."

"what's that supposed to mea-"

"-- i really want to kiss you mark."

mark took a few steps backwards, "no no no... no you don't.. you.. i don't like you.. you're rude and you.. you like jaebeom.. and ... the trial and yugyeom..."

he knew deep down that he wanted to kiss park, he had wanted to for a while. but with everything going on, and how infatuated he was with jaebeom, it just didn't feel right.

but that didn't stop his heart from spiralling out of control.

no.

when he first saw park, he hated him.
he was scary.
and cruel.
and no-one liked him.

park had been the one to sell yugyeom out to the cops.
poor yugyeom who was already going through so much.

he took the side of a pyschopath.
he took the side of jaebeom.

mark shouldn't want to kiss him.

he shouldn't. but he did.

he wanted to kiss him so bad, craving his soft plump lips, remembering them from the first kiss. he pictured himself clutching the back of park's head, pulling him and his gorgeous face closer, feeling his breath on his skin, connecting their lips.

but no.

.... but yes.

"mark..." park whispered, the word gutteral and full of longing, "mark... i know you want to.. ple-"

and mark was doing exactly as he had envisioned, and suddenly they were kissing.

mark forgot about everything.
about the court.
about jaebeom.
about yugyeom.

all he could think about was how right the kiss felt, how perfect, how well their lips moved in sync.

park smiled into the kiss, whispering, "thank you," and mark felt his breath stop.

was he in love with park?
surely not.

they pulled apart, with mark' head spinning.
he couldn't believe what had happened, and he couldn't believe that he had enjoyed it.

a kiss. with park. and he had enjoyed it.

park stared down at his shoes, "we're getting yugyeom out of prison," he spoke breathlessly and mark nodded.

"was it enough?"

"was what enough?"

mark didn't want to say it, ".. the kiss... are you.. over jaebeom?"

park chuckled, "i'm sure it'll take more than one kiss.. but.. now i know you're there.. maybe i ca-"

"i don't understand."

park cocked his head.

"i don't understand how one kiss can change anything."

an unintelligible emotion flickered onto park's face, something between fear and sadness, like he was finally figuring things out. like he was finally addressing things he had buried. it made mark want to kiss him again.

"it just.. does.." he looked directly into mark's eyes, and mark could see the nerves deep set within them, "i guess... i don't like feeling alone, so i cling to jaebeom.. but i don't know. i just.. i don't know."

mark nodded understandingly, "well.. take as long as you need i guess.."

"yeah."

and then, with no words spoken, they made their way back into the courtroom.
