count on me┃jaeyong

⌜ twelve ⌟

❝don't you dare.❞ a screech was heard from the freshman when he tried to cover the older's mouth with his hands but failed when the med student moved a distance away so he could continue to make fun of him.

❝love.❞ jaehyun held back the urge to snort at the endearment, finding it quite cheesy for someone like mark.

❝i swear to god, jaehyun!❞ he then stomped his feet with a whine, looking like a kid getting upset at something that isn't going to the way he planned. mark very well knew already that this guy won't let him live with this pet name. ❝i was dozing off, okay? i didn't mean to call him that.❞

❝you two aren't together yet and here you are, giving him cute nicknames. how adorable of you, simba.❞ the older then chuckled while patting the irritated male's head before going back to arrange his things inside his locker.

scoffing, ❝taeyong isn't your boyfriend, yet you two are acting like one.❞ he told him. ❝and it doesn't even look like it's an act. won't be surprised if you two would actually end up together.❞

that caused jaehyun to stop from getting his attire for practice. ❝really?❞

❝uh, yeah?❞ mark found his reaction odd but decided to laugh it off. ❝but it's great, at least it made ten hyung jealous. that's your purpose for getting taeyong, right?❞

that is his purpose but why does it feel like he's not even trying to push through to that anymore?

the older being silent made mark tilt his head to the side. ❝this is also a big chance to finally get him. he's jealous, you can clearly see that he's still affected by everything you do.❞ mark continue. ❝seize the opportunity, jaehyun.❞

he does have a point. taking his phone out, jaehyun then started to message his driver to pick him up early before putting the device back inside his pocket. the clothes he was holding was then thrown back inside the locker and jaehyun had shut it with force, startling the younger beside him.

he's going to seize the opportunity, as what mark said. well, he's talking about the other opportunity.

since he's now single, why not mingle?

❝where are you going?❞ catching up to the older male, the freshman was panting as he followed him from behind. ❝hey, you still have practice.❞

fastening his walk, it took another second before jaehyun started to run away from mark. ❝pass!❞ he had a wide smile on his face as he turned around to the younger who stopped running midway. ❝i have somewhere to go!❞

❝this idiot be really skipping practices.❞ mark rolled his eyes and just waved his hand at the guy who now took a turn from the corridor, probably making his way out of the entrance.

jaehyun was really acting weird. one day he's crying his heart out because of a heartbreak and now that he's this near to getting back with his ex, he's looking like he's preoccupied with something else. shaking his head, mark now then turned around and while retracing his steps back to his friend's locker, his eyes widened upon seeing a small figure leaning there hugging his books and staring out of space. the freshman didn't even know that he has been holding back his breath while taking steps back, quietly and carefully as not to be seen.

but too late, the figure right there had already noticed him.

he had no choice but to smile and wave. ❝hi there, ten hyung.❞
