You are a fucking idiot
Jaehyun sighs and continues to admire his best friend while he's not looking. He's always known that Johnny is pretty. But his beauty is so far from just his looks. For most of their friendship, Jaehyun's been able to ignore it and just appreciate him in a platonic sense.
Until recently.
He's not sure when it started or why but it seems like everything he was able to ignore is now standing out at him like the lights on a marquee sign.
"What's wrong?" Johnnys voice snaps Jaehyun out of his thoughts.
"Nothing."
"You don't look like that when you're zoning out."
"Huh?"
Johnny rolls his eyes and squats down in front of Jaehyun, eyes studying his face, their proximity making Jaehyun nervous. He has to stop himself from releasing a shaky breath when Johnnys hands move onto his face.
"There's tension in your forehead, your jaw is tense, I'm pretty sure your hands are in fists, and your body is stiff. And if you were actually zoning out, this would've made you laugh."
"Just thinking a lot. Nothing we need to talk about."
"Are you sure?"
Yes, now please back away so I can breathe properly
Jaehyun nods. "Yeah."
Johnny studies Jaehyuns face a little bit longer, feeling something's off, and pulls away when he doesn't find anything. Once he's away, Jaehyun lets out a breath, trying to get his himself to feel back to normal instead of the tingles he got from Johnny being close to him.
He doesn't get to relax too much as Johnny leans his head on his shoulder. He does his best not to react but it's so hard when he can feel the strands of hair tickling his neck and Johnny is holding onto his arm, keeping him close.
"This place is pretty."
At the word "pretty", the first thing Jaehyun thinks of is Johnny. He knows that's not what the male said so he replays the his friends words in his head and then hums in agreement, feeling calm from being in the flowery field, illuminated by the bright sun.

Mark stares down at the male with his head in his lap, admiring his features. Over time, all Mark has begun to think is that the male is unreal. Ethereal.
"How are you so beautiful?" He mumbles.
"Even upside down?" Haechan asks, opening one eye to look up at Mark.
Mark nods. "Even upside down."
"You're beautiful too. And so cute."
Mark doesn't move for a few seconds, letting Haechan watch his eyes move down to his lips and back, hardly noticing that his boyfriend is doing the same.
"Spider-Man kiss?"
"Sure", Haechan replies softly, anticipating the kiss.
Mark leans down and connects their lips, moving his mouth slowly against Haechans in a tender kiss. Haechan reaches up and holds Marks face, keeping him against him. Haechan is the first to break away, wanting to kiss properly instead. He moves onto Marks lap and smiles when he feels hands on his waist, laughing to himself at a memory.
"What?"
"I'm just laughing about how you were in control when we had our first makeout." Mark rolls his eyes, only making Haechan giggle more.
"Actually, I think you've been the most confident with me since the beginning. You were different with Jaemin and he told me how shy you were with Jeno. Don't you dare bring up me with Jaemin. I've already been reminded this month."
Haechan laughs again, making Mark smile at the sound and joyous expression on his face. "You're so cute. And, at least, you made Jeno panic."
"It's honestly not that hard", Mark says, trying not to laugh himself.
Haechan smiles and brings Marks face into his hands. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Mark leans in to close the distance, the pace just as slow as before 'cause it's all they need as they express the words their hearts are saying through their lips.
I love you a lot
I love you, I love you

Nina wakes up, tightly pressed against her best friend, Laces face hidden in her shoulder. She smiles, finding them adorable and then does her best to gently pry herself out of her friends arms. She giggles when Laces arms tighten around her instead.
"Lace", she whispers. "Lace!"
"Hm?" Lace mumbles sleepily, not hiding their annoyance.
"Lace, can you please let go of me?"
"Why?"
"So I can go to the bathroom. I won't be long."
"Fine", Lace says, removing their arms. "But hurry up, you know I can't sleep without my teddy bear."
"I know." Nina kisses their head to make them feel better, happy that her friend smiles from the contact.
When she comes back, she finds Lace on their phone, eyes barely open. At the sight of Nina, they place their phone down and open their arms for the girl. Nina cuddles up against Lace and locks her arms around them. Lace snuggles into Nina, bringing them as close as possible and then relaxes.
"My mom took another picture of us while we were sleeping. She sent it to Chenle and Jisung and apparently they started screaming."
"They seem like the type of people who would do that."
"They seem nice."
"They are. So far, they're the best. They don't treat me like the other families did."
"Good. You deserve the best."
"Thank you. You too."
Lace hums in acknowledgement, going quiet, letting Nina know they're sleepy. "I love you", they mumble a moment later.
"I love you too."
"Oh, and good morning. I think."
"It's, like, eight thirty."
"Then it is morning and too early."
"You know, some people start their day before now?"
"Yep. I will never be one of them." Nina laughs and holds her best friend tighter, feeling the ease flow through her body from seeing them. "Oh." Lace shifts so they can kiss Ninas cheek. "That's for the forehead kiss and just because. Now I'm gonna go back to sleep. Stay here."
"Don't worry, I will."

Don't play dumb
The flirting with Johnny
Jaehyun
Ohhh that

whatever the hell you're doing isn't
to just fuck with Johnny but last I
checked, you don't don't do this

hurting him
Jaehyun
Anything else you wanna say?

Nope, I'll wait for you to tell me
what's going on
Jaehyun
I'm pretty sure I know exactly how
you're saying that and what pose

Anyways
The flirting was an accident...at
first
I may or may not want Johnny to
keep his feelings for me...
And consider me an option...
Ten
Why?
Jaehyun
What?

Why do you want Johnny to be

"Did you find everything okay?" Shotaro asks boredly, scanning the items.
"Yeah. Wait, Shotaro?"
The males head snaps up and finds Mark in front of him. He attempts a smile, hoping it's enough for the male. "Oh, hi, Mark."
"Hi." Mark studies the male, sensing something off with him. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Mark looks behind him and finds no one else in line, promoting him to ask, "Have you gone on break yet?"
Shotaro looks up and around the store, finding it deserted besides two customers. He looks behind him to his coworker. "I'm going on my lunch break."
"Alright", she responds, not even looking at him.
"I'll be right back."
Mark waits at the front of the store, near the register. It's only two minutes until Shotaro reappears, a black hoodie covering his uniform.
"Wanna get something to eat?" Shotaro nods and follows Mark to his car. The two get in and Shotaro freezes when Mark looks at him, instead of doing anything. "How are you? Really? And don't give me any of that bullshit. We all lie about being fine."
"Is it really that obvious?"
"You just seem sad."
The male sighs. "It's not sadness...exactly. I'm...angry with myself for how I feel. There's this...person and I'm jealous of him, but I hate that I am, but I can't ignore it."
"Do you wanna talk about why?"
Shotaro considers the male, knowing that it can't be too bad if he doesn't reveal anything and Mark seems genuine so he nods and directs Mark to a restaurant.
➳
"Can't sleep again?"
Nina jumps. "Oh my God, you scared me."
Jisung chuckles and sits down next to her. "Sorry. Everything okay?" Nina nods. "You sure?"
I'm scared
"I'm fine."
"That's what people say when they're not fine. Is there anything you wanna talk about? Do you miss Lace?"
"I usually miss them", Nina responds with a laugh.
"Oh, wait. You said you have a hard time sleeping alone, right?"
"Yeah, sometimes", Nina mumbles so Jisung can barely hear her but he does.
"I can think of two options. Feel free to tell me if you have more." The girl nods. "One, we get you one of those huge teddy bears that's close to the size of you or...", he pauses, "you can sleep with me and Lele."
"What? Really?"
"Yeah."
"But...but aren't I too big?"
"To some people, maybe, but not to us. Also, to be completely honestly, I don't really care that you're seventeen going on eighteen. I know you're not, like, tiny, but you're a child. You don't have to accept the offer if you don't want to though."
"I...I accept."
Jisung smiles and holds his arms out to hug the girl. Nina hides her face in his shirt, not wanting him to see how much this is affecting her.
Jisung looks down at the top of her head. "You ready?"
"Mhm."
The two make their way into Jisung and Chenles bedroom. Nina stands at the foot of the bed, unsure of what to do and how the sleeping male will react to finding her there when he wakes up. Jisung gestures for her to get on the bed first and then sandwiches her in between him and Lele.
Chenle opens an eye and finds Nina in front of him. "Hi, Nina."
"Hi. Is it gonna bother you if I sleep here?" She can't help but ask.
"Not at all. Wanna cuddle?"
"Yes, please."
Chenle shifts forward and presses a kiss to her hair before wrapping his arms around the girl and Jisung. Jisung does the same so the teen is completely trapped in their arms and warmth.
"Are you comfortable?" Jisung asks.
"Yes, thank you."
"Anything for you." He kisses the side of her head. "Try to sleep now, okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Nina."
"Goodnight."
➳
"Nina!" Chenle exclaims, startling the girl and making her jump. The male laughs. "Sorry. We made something for you."
Nina looks at the paper and back up at Chenle. "A crossword puzzle? I mean that looks fun but it seems random."
"It's a special crossword", Jisung adds, joining the two. "Find all the nicknames you like. It's front and back."
"This is a very creative way of asking."
"Do you like it or should we have just asked?"
"Either one works but this is definitely a more comfortable option. Though, I'm more comfortable now than I was when I first got here."
The two smile and take turns kissing her forehead.
"Oh", Jisung says, thinking of something. "Should I dye my hair?"
"What color?"
Jisung shrugs. "Something light."
"Are you and Lele switching hair colors so now you'll have the colorful hair and he'll have the dark more natural-looking hair?"
"Actually, sure. You have any color suggestions?"
"Wait, let me show you the previous colors", Chenle says, taking out his phone.
"Lele has a ton of pictures of me. And I have a bunch of him, stop looking at me like that."
The ravenette smiles and kisses his husband, keeping it short because of their audience.
"Have I told you two that you're cute together yet?"
"Thank you-see this is why we need to know nicknames, this would be the perfect time to use one."
"I'll get started while you find the pictures."
Chenle nods and moves to the seat across from Nina, eyes trained on his phone. Jisung moves around the kitchen, refilling his coffee and looking for a snack.
"Either of you want toast?"
"Yes", Chenle says at the same time Nina says, "Yes, please."
"Okay."

"We're meeting her?" Yuta asks, eyes sparkling with excitement and a big smile on his face.
"God, you're so cute", Doyoung murmurs, bringing a hand underneath his chin and tilting his boyfriends head up to kiss him. Doyoung tries to deepen it but can't as Yuta giggles instead, too happy to kiss properly.
"My turn." Yuta throws himself backwards onto the bed so his boyfriends can kiss first, but finds himself caged in beneath Taeyongs arms as the male smirks at his position hovering over him. "I meant you."
Yuta smiles and brings his arms around Taeyongs neck. He leans up and brings his mouth to the males ear. "Nope." He pushes against Taeyong and flips them over so he's straddling his boyfriend. "Doyoung first."
"Can I take Yongies place instead?"
Yuta rolls his eyes and moves off of Taeyong to sit at the edge of the bed. "You two are so horny."
"No, I'm not!" They respond in unison.
"Sure. Kiss until you get all this", Yuta gestures at them,"out of your systems and you're ready for soft kisses. I'm gonna go shower anyways and I will be locking the door. No, you cannot come in."
"What if we need something?"
"Don't."
Doyoung rolls his eyes and Taeyong chuckles. Realizing the male is still laying down, Doyoung moves so he's hovering above him. Though he's trying not to waver, Taeyongs face flushes, boosting Doyoungs ego.
"Stop it", Taeyong says, halfheartedly.
"It's not my fault you look so beautiful when you blush."
Taeyong gently smacks his shoulder. "Kiss me already."
"I don't know if I want to", the ravenette teases.
Taeyong thinks about arguing or threatening the male until the most effective solution comes to mind. He shrugs and begins to sit up. "Fine."
"I was joking."
"Well, I don't know if I wanna kiss you anymore." Doyoung rolls his eyes and begins to pout as Taeyong makes his way towards the door. He stops and walks back over to the male, standing in between his legs. "Does it help if I tell you, you look cute?"
"You're cute too", Doyoung utters softly, holding his waist. "I'm sorry for teasing you. Can I have a kiss?"
Doyoung looks so cute like this, warm, brown eyes, pouty pink lips, and slightly puffed up cheeks staring up at Taeyong, causing him to coo.
He takes the males face into his hands and smiles. "It's okay, baby. I don't mind when you tease me. You and Yuta are funny."
Doyoung chuckles lightly. "He always gets mad."
"I think his favorite part is you making it up him."
"It is." Doyoungs eyes trail down to the males lips, just wanting to feel them on his. "I love you."
"I love you too." Taeyong closes the gap between their lips and slides his hands to the back of Doyoungs head so he can feel his soft hair.
Doyoung sighs into his mouth, feeling content from the kiss. "I love you so much."
"I feel the same", Taeyong whispers.
"I thought I told you not to do the cute shit without me!" Yuta complains, making them laugh.
"Come here", Taeyong reaches out for him and pulls him in so he can kiss his cheek.
"We love you."
"I love you guys too."

"I'm gonna put my apron away, clock out, and use the restroom."
Jaemin nods and plays with his straw in his drink while he waits.
Barking turns his attention to the door. A woman walks in and greets the dog, obviously familiar as she says each of their names. Jaemin ignores her, only half listening to her order as he has nothing to do until he hears her ask, "Is Jeno working today?"
He tries not to look at her but can't help stealing a glance before going back to his phone. She ends up near Jaemin as she waits for her order.
When Jeno comes back out, he doesn't notice her at first, eyes trained on his boyfriend. "Sorry about that-"
"Jeno!"
He looks at the woman and smiles. "Hi, Lisa. How are you?"
Lisa smiles back. "I'm good, and you?"
"I'm good." Jeno looks at Jaemin. "This is Lisa, one of our regulars."
"Coming here is the highlight of my week."
Oh really? Jaemin thinks, feeling it's less about the cafe and more about a certain someone she's clearly interested in.
"That's great to hear. Did you order yet?"
"I did. I actually wanted to give you something."
Jenos eyebrows pinch together. "Really? What is it?"
Lisa hands him a folded piece of paper that glues the pieces together in Jenos mind. He glances at Jaemin before unfolding it and reading the contents.
"I admire your bravery but I have to decline. I'm taken...and gay."
"Oh my God, I had no idea. This is so embarrassing." She looks at Jaemin. "This must be so entertaining for you."
This is something
Jaemin forces a smile and slides off the stool.
"Oh, Princess, you ready?"
"Princess?" Lisa questions, shocked.
This time the smile on Jaemins face is genuine. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself", Jaemin slides an arm around Jenos waist. "I'm Jaemin. His boyfriend. Jenos princess, if you will."
Jeno tries not to smile at the obvious jealousy on Jaemins face that makes him look so hot and causes him to feel so giddy from the protectiveness.
To their surprise, the woman laughs. "Oh my God, this is even more embarrassing. And kinda funny, honestly. It's nice to meet you, Jaemin. Don't worry, I have no interest in taken and, or, gay men."
"Wait, you just tried to ask Jeno out?" Jenos coworker asks.
"Yep. Let's just keep talking about it, shall we?"
The guy grins at Jeno. "Our manager owes me and Lyssa an extra ten bucks."
"You bet on this?"
"Dude, the only one who didn't see it is you and our manager. And you know she likes acting like we're ridiculous."
"That's true."
"But really, that's so funny. It's a good thing only Jaemin was here."
"Why?"
"Because he wouldn't have been the only one looking angry. Jeno has three boyfriends."
"Three?" She places a hand on her chest. "God, I was about to get myself killed. Jaemin is already intimidating."
Jaemin smiles, a little too happy about that fact. "Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt you."
"Don't trust him", the guy whisper shouts, causing Jaemin to glare at him and him to hold his hands up in surrender. He looks at Lisa. "See?"
Jaemin rolls his eyes and grabs Jenos hand, interlocking their fingers. "It really was nice meeting you. Unfortunately, me and Jeno have to go."
"We do."
"And what are you gonna do?"
"None of your business."
"They're probably-"
"Just wait until Lele hears why we're late", Jeno says, loud enough for his coworker to hear.
"I didn't do anything. Please go see him and tell him I say hi! Goodbye!"
Jaemin and Jeno giggle as they exit the cafe, not forgetting to say bye to the animals. Once they're outside, Jaemin stops, accidentally pulling Jeno backwards, which is convenient for him.
"Princess-"
Jeno doesn't get to finish his sentence before Jaemin is holding his face and kissing him, deeply, crushing their lips together. He pulls away and smiles in satisfaction at Jenos expression. He pecks his cheek and walks over to his car without another word.
Jeno stares after him, unmoving. It's only when the engine starts that he snaps out of it and gets in the car. Still thinking about the situation, he mutters, "Maybe you should get jealous more often."
"Don't even think about it, Princess."

"I'm so excited", Renjun says, bouncing in place. "I'm gonna make Nina whatever she wants." He gasps. "Do you think she'll let me take her shopping? What if we got matching outfits? Oh my God."
Winwin chuckles and hugs Renjun and kisses the side of his face. "You're adorable."
"So I've been told." Renjun eyes Winwin from the corner of his eyes and turns his head just enough that he can kiss him. He laughs against Winwins lips and turns to face him so he can kiss him better. He wraps his arms around Renjuns neck and shuffles closer when he feels Winwin pull him closer by his waist. "I love you", he says against Winwins lips, almost inaudibly.
"I love you too", Winwin responds, feeling so in love. He deepens the kiss, taking Renjun by surprise but he's in no way complaining. After Winwin pulls away, he finds his boyfriend panting softly, breathless.
Renjun chuckles airily. "I can't breathe."
"Are my kisses a problem?"
"You might as well dig your own grave if you think you can stop kissing me. No."
Winwin just smiles and kisses Renjuns nose. He watches the threatening expression vanish from the males face, to get replaced by the cutest smile.
"Are you done trying to turn into a gremlin?"
"Gremlins are cute though. Just dangerous."
"So you, Shotaro, Jaemin apparently, Jungwoo, and Ten. Am I missing someone?"
"Probably, like Yuta or something."
Winwin nods. "Probably. But you do happen to be prettier than all of them."
"You know who else is pretty?"
Already knowing who he's talking about, Winwin rolls his eyes. "I think you're prettier."
"But Jaemin is really pretty."
"No one", Winwin pulls Renjun in even closer, "is as pretty as you. You're my definition of beautiful."
"You're mine", Renjun responds quietly, trying not cry. He feels so much love for Winwin he can't understand it or even explain it, but if he can try to in the phrases he knows, he will. "You're so beautiful."
Renjun hugs Winwins torso as he kisses him again, trying to convey his love in the kiss. In the midst of their tender lip touches, he becomes even more emotional, feeling so safe and so happy and so loved. He loves Winwin so much.
I love you more than anything

"I'm meeting Lele and Jisungs friends today", Nina tells her best friend through the screen.
"Oh yeah. You've been told about them, right?"
"Yeah."
"How many is there, again?"
"Many. Jisung has two best friends and his close friend and Lele has two best friends and two close friends and then more people."
"Wow, that's a lot. But I'm sure they'll like you. It's impossible not to like you."
Nina smiles, face heating up, which causes Lace to start squealing at how adorable their best friend is.
"And you think I'm the cute one."
"Don't start with me, Nina."
"No, go ahead."
"Fine. You're the cute one."
"No, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are. You just did something adorable, that proves it."
"You did something adorable too!"
"But yours was more adorable!"
"No, it wasn't!"
In the hallway, outside her room, Jisung and Chenle stop. "Is she arguing with someone?"
"Didn't she say she was gonna call Lace?"
"Are they fighting?"
"For the last time, you are the adorable one!"
The couple laughs upon realizing what's going on.
"That's so cute", Chenle says and Jisung nods in agreement.
"Let's go before she finds us like this."
"Right."
➳
"You guys are slow", Kun says to the people that show up after him.
"You're just annoying and for some reason, Xiaojun likes it."
"This is where you get the popcorn" Jungwoo whisper-shouts to Xiaojun.
"You're ten times more annoying and somehow Yangyang likes you."
"One, he doesn't like me, he loves me and two, no, I'm not."
"My boyfriend also loves me! You didn't prove anything!"
"Yeah, they're always like that", Chenle tells Nina.
"They're not actually gonna fight though, right?"
"No. In about ten minutes, they'll be laughing together like best friends and Ten will ask for a hug and kiss."
"Oh, okay."
"I apologize for any of the crazy shit they might do or say", Jisung says. "You should laugh, at least."
"Okay."
"Did you tell her?" Taeil asks.
"Tell me what?"
"Once they realize, they're gonna go insane. In about thirty seconds."
Right on cue, the attention turns to the four sitting at the end of the table. Nina tries to herself behind her foster parents, feeling uncomfortable from all the eyes on her.
It gets even worse when more people show up, also seeming to be the males friends.
"Where is she?" Yuta asks, hugging Jisung.
"Hiding", Taeil answers, nodding towards the girl across from him.
Yuta looks at Nina, causing her face to become even more red. The male smiles. "Hi, I'm Yuta."
"Hi", she responds quietly. "Nice to meet you, I'm Nina."
"She's kinda shy", Chenle says.
"Oh I see." Doyoung smiles. "I'm Doyoung. Let me know if you wanna escape."
Chenle and Jisung roll their eyes. Taeyong gently smacks his boyfriend and pulls him back to stand in front of him. "I'm Taeyong. It's lovely to meet you, Nina."
"You too."
"Love of my life!"
Haechan runs over to Taeil to hug him and then looks at the three sitting across from him and the throuple standing.
"Hi, guys."
"I see how it is", Jisung responds, causing Haechan to roll his eyes. He hurries around to the other side of the table and hugs Jisung and kisses his cheek.
"Better, you big baby?"
"Rude."
A small giggle gets their attention, causing Nina to flush red again as multiple eyes are on her. One the men approach her, looking delighted to see her.
"You're adorable. Hi, I'm Jaemin. You can call me that or Minnie. I promise we're all nice." He glances at his best friends. "Sometimes."
"You're lucky I love you", Haechan and Jisung say in unison.
"I know. I love you guys too."
"Hi, I'm Mark."
"Hi, I'm-"
"Marks Jeno."
Jeno sighs. "Hi, I'm Jeno. These three are my wonderful boyfriends."
"I'm Haechan. If you want donuts, let me know."
"I bake!"
"So do I!" Chenle exclaims.
"Hey, who wants to go with us to the arcade?"
"And while we do that, someone can order food."
"Do you wanna go with them?" Jisung asks Nina. "One of us will go with you."
Nina nods. "Yes, please."
"What do you want?"
After Nina tells Chenle what she wants, her and Jisung join the others in the arcade.
"Oh, here!" Renjun hurries over to her and hands her a bunch of tokens. "We got plenty. If you want something from a claw machine, I recommend asking Mark. He's really good at them."
"Oh, okay. Thank you. I like your outfit."
"Thank you. Oh my God!" Nina and Jisung jump, making Renjun chuckle. "Sorry. Well I'm sorry to you, Nina." Jisung rolls his eyes. "Let me know if you wanna go shopping. Or if you want something custom made. Oh, and you're so pretty."
Nina blushes. "Thank you and I'll remember that."
"She's so cute."
Jisung pulls Nina into him. "She is."
"That's enough", Nina mumbles into Jisungs jacket.
"I'm actually gonna start squealing."
"Why are we squealing?" Winwin asks, sliding an arm around his boyfriends waist. He nods at Jisung and smiles at Nina.
"Nina is too adorable."
"I'm gonna go...play that game", Nina says and leaves to save herself from further embarrassment.
Jaemin smiles at the approaching teen. "Here, I got candy."
"Please, take it away from him", Jeno tells her. "He has a problem."
Jaemin pouts. "I do not!"
Jeno looks at Nina and mouths 'he does' before leaving. Jaemin rolls his eyes after his boyfriend and then looks back at the girl. "Ignore him."
Nina nods and then moves around to the other side of Jaemin to play a game near him. "I like your outfit by the way."
"Thank you. Did Renjun already suggest going shopping?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, well we're doing it one day. If that's alright with you. We can also just eat in the mall. Don't tell my boyfriends that."
"Don't tell your boyfriends what?"
"Oh, shit!" Jaemin looks at Nina. "Fuck-sorry, Nina."
The girl giggles. "It's okay. Jisung and Lele warned me about this. They cuss too. I don't mind."
"Oh, okay. Thank God."
Haechan pulls Jaemin into a hug. "Now, what did you not want her to tell your boyfriends?"
"I just mentioned spending time with her. Calm down."
"Time to eat!"
➳
"I am so tired."
"Why is Nina so good at laser tag?"
"I can't believe she tricked us into bribing her."
"It's not tricking you if you offered voluntarily."
Chenle brings Nina into a backhug. "You're so smart."
"Honestly, she deserves everything she asked for."
"Stop trying to be the favorite!"
"I'm not!"
"Who wants ice cream?" Shotaro shouts. "Hendery's paying!"
"Me!"
"I do!"
Hendery looks at his best friend. "I will hurt you."
Shotaro smirks. "Sure you will."
➳
"Nina is so cute."
"She made Jeno scared of her."
"Hey, I am not scared of her!"
"Sure, you're not."
Jeno blocks Marks path and holds him by his waist, trapping him in place. "Keep going, Pumpkin."
Mark smirks. "I think I'd rather see what you're gonna do."
Right before their lips touch, Haechans voice cuts them off. "You do that. Just take it out of the kitchen, thank you."
"And what are you gonna do?"
"Plan dinner. Go."
Jeno rolls his eyes and kisses Haechans cheek before pulling Mark out of the kitchen. The two seat themselves on the couch and finally kiss, giggling against each others lips.
"I love you", Mark mumbles.
"I love you too."
"Where did Jaemin go?"
"He's probably laying down."
Mark hums and kisses Jeno again. The kiss starts off slow but eventually turns into a sensual makeout. Jeno pulls Mark against him, causing Mark to straddle him. Neither notice Jaemin walk into the living room and past them into the kitchen.
"Jeno and Mark are making out again", Jaemin tells Haechan.
"Of course they are."
"You know", Jaemin says, placing a kiss on Haechans neck. "We should enjoy ourselves too."
"What is it about me trying to cook that makes you all wanna kiss me?"
"You look hot."
Haechan gives his boyfriend a look. "Is that all?"
"Okay, for me, at least, I just mean to hug you...And it's kinda fun to tease you."
"It makes sense now."
Jaemin pouts. "Kiss?"
Haechan pecks Jaemins lips. "There."
"More kisses?"
Without waiting for a response, Jaemin is already pulling the male away from the counter. "I better not hear any of you complain about dinner later."
"We won't." The two interrupt their boyfriends and place themselves on their laps. "We want kisses."
"You two are so fucking cute."
"You too", Haechan mumbles. "Now kiss me."
"So demanding", Mark says, leaning in. "But as you wish."

"You've been acting weird lately."
"Huh?"
"Don't try it. I can tell when you're lying."
"It's not you, I promise. I'm just really confused."
"About?"
Jaehyun looks away and mutters, "My feelings."
"Your feelings?" Jaehyun nods. "Well, explain."
"I...may or may not...", Jaehyun braces himself, "beinterestedinaguy."
"Huh?"
"I might be...", Jaehyun mumbles the rest.
"For Gods sake, Jaehyun, just say it!"
"I might into a guy."
Johnny gives his best friend an annoyed look. "All of this just to say that? What's your problem?"
"It's complicated."
"Oh, boy."
"Shut up."
"Keep going."
"We really don't have to talk about this."
"It's bothering you."
"A little bit but I'm fine."
Johnny sighs. "If you don't wanna talk about it, you don't have to." He pauses like he might say something else and then decides on, "Just know that you can talk to me."
Confusion takes over the male at his best friends behavior. "Okay, why don't you tell me what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Didn't you just tell me not to lie?"
"It's not that important. I can talk to Ten about it."
"Or you could talk to me."
Johnny scoffs, confusing Jaehyun even more. "It's really funny you say that."
"Why?"
"Because you've been weird and still won't talk to me about it! You keep brushing it off." He takes a deep breath to keep his emotions in check. "You know what, it's fine. I just really don't understand what's going on with you and when you're ready to tell me, I'd love to know."
"Are you leaving?"
"I honestly don't see the point if neither us has things we wanna say to each other."
"Are you going to Ten?" Jaehyun blurts.
"Does it matter? I'm sure you have someone you wanna talk to anyways. Mark, Taeyong." Johnny stops himself. "We're not making progress. I'm gonna go. Have a good day, Jae."
Jaehyun watches the male walk off.
What the hell just happened?
Marky♡
Marky♡
I don't even understand what's
happening
Johnny
I DON'T KNOW EITHER
Everything's been weird and then
today was just the cherry on top
and I don't know what the fuck is
going on
Marky♡
Jae didn't say anything at all?
Johnny
He said he's interested in a guy
Marky♡
Wait what
HE DIDN'T TELL ME THAT
Johnny
I'm sure he'll get a around to it
Marky♡
Can I ask you a question you
probably don't want me to ask?
Johnny
I think I already know
Is it about the guy Jae's interested
in?
Marky♡
Yeah, can I ask?
Johnny
I don't care, Marky
I'm not even surprised
I just don't know why it became
so difficult to treat me normally
I know Jaehyun was walking on
egg shells and that's already
annoying but now there's even
more distance for some reason
and it's just so frustrating
I really regret kissing him and
letting him find out my past
feelings
Sometimes I wonder how you're
normal about it
Marky♡
Because you didn't hurt me
I'm worried about you
There's nothing you can do to make
me not love you if you're not
hurting me
Jaehyun thinks about it too much and
he's so worried about making you
hurt even more
I honestly didn't know what to do
I just did what I thought would help
Johnny
Well it worked
Marky♡
Is there anything else bugging
you?
Johnny
I think I imagined it but when I
said we weren't saying anything
to each other, he asked if I was
going to Ten and he seemed
jealous almost
Which makes no sense and makes
me even more confused cause
since when does he care?
Marky♡
What the
Okay I'm gonna talk to him
Tbh I meant to start the chapter with the MarkHyuck scene but I forgot and wrote the first scene and I thought it starting with "you are a fucking idiot" would be funny
It has nothing to do with any of you btw. You all have beautiful brains(do not argue with me)
I love you sooooooo much MWAH
Edited(at least better than before)❤️
