The next day, Mark completely ignored Donghyuck.
"Mark hyung!"
"..."
"Markeureeeeee~"
"..."
"MARK FUCKING LEE!"
"..."
"Oh.."
"..."
"Are you just-"
"..."
"Gonna ignore me like that.."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..Bye then."
Donghyuck ran off by himself, trying not to cry. Mark and him would usually have fun and lively conversations, but not today.
When school was over, he trudged home.
Renjun ran over to his depressed looking friend.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Hm?"
"You're not your usual self today.."
"Oh.. about that.."
"What happened?"
"Ah, let's just sit down first."
The two sat down under a tree in the park.
"Yesterday, Mark came over to watch a movie with me.."
"Mhm.."
"I fell asleep, woke up, we kissed and-"
"Lemme guess, you guys banged."
"Not really.."
"Then what..?"
"Well we almost were, then I stopped him."
"What the fu-"
"Ck. I know, basically he got mad at me because I left him hanging."
"That's.. that's so-"
"Mean? Rude? Disappointing? Yeah I know, but I wasn't comfortable with doing it! Please don't scold me Renjun.."
"Scold you? Why would I? You have the right to stop him.."
"So you aren't mad?"
"Of course not! Is there even a reason to be mad at you?"
"...No?"
"What I was gonna say was, the fact that he's ignoring you just because you didn't feel comfortable with doing something with him is so immature and molester like.."
"Molester?!"
"I don't strongly feel that he is, just needed to express my feelings that's all."
"Okay.. but I'm really sad he doesn't wanna talk to me. What should I do?"
"Leave him be."
"Wha-?"
"Let him think and calm down for a while so he can realize what he did was wrong."
"But I-"
"Want to talk to him, still? I said to leave him be."
Donghyuck pouted, the weather became gloomier.
Renjun chuckled, "Talk about fullsun. Your emotions seem to be affecting the weather.."
"I guess.."
"Look, I gotta go home Hyuckie. Take care and walk home safely."
Renjun pat the younger's back and left.
"Just smile for me before I go?"
Donghyuck smiled slightly.
A cloud moved aside and a bit of the sun showed.
The older laughed. "See? Just smile more and the weather will get better. Bye Donghyuck."
"Bye Injunnie.."
- - -
Donghyuck walked home, still really sad.
"Stupid Mark.. I didn't like it.. why are you so.. mad?"
The weather became more gloomy.
"Urgh.. I'll do anything to get back with you..Mark Lee.."
The sky darkened.
"Anything.."
Donghyuck's voice was shaky, and he started tearing up.
It started to sprinkle.
Donghyuck ran into his house, still crying.
"Why..? Mark.. I didn't do anything wrong! Or did I?"
He banged his fists on the table.
"I did.. it was my fault.. I shouldn't have left you hanging."
A lump formed in his throat.
"Why do I feel this way.. for you?" He asked himself.
"I don't like you, I don't.."
"I can't like you.."
Donghyuck heaved a shaky sigh. He decided to text Minhyung for some advice.
