❝he's stupid.❞ jeno said after hearing mark's explanation.

hearing that only made mark break down even harder, jaemin could only send his boyfriend a look and telling him to take it easy. seeing that renjun opened his mouth, jaemin went to give the short male a warning look before he could say something more hurtful than jeno. sure, jaemin is also on their side and agreed with their opinions about mark's good intentions but theh could at least keep it for themselves or if they would say it out loud then they should make it sound less insulting. mark isn't in the best state right now, a word can make him cry a river.

just like now.

❝jaemin..❞ mark had his arms wrapped on jaemin's waist as he buried his head down on the younger's chest. ❝it has been only three hours and i miss him already.❞

it would be a lie if both renjun and jeno denies the fact that they are jealous seeing mark clinging to their boyfriend like that. but if they complain, jaemin is just going to send them glares that could kill.

❝i miss him..❞ mark sobbed, drenching jaemin's shirt with his tears. ❝s-so much..❞

seeing that made renjun scoff and tease jeno the moment he found this scene pretty much familiar. ❝oh look jeno, he acts exactly like you that one time when you and jaemin fought.❞

❝let us not—❞

recalling that memory made jaemin chuckle, still rubbing circles behind mark's back for comfort. ❝he's much worst. only ten minutes passed by and he's already on his knees begging for forgiveness.❞

renjun definitely witnessed that sight and laughed along with jaemin. ❝oh, jaemin! do your remember when jeno broke your game console?❞

❝okay!❞ jeno stopped the two, giving them looks and then sighed at the way they betrayed him. ❝we are here for mark, not to bully me.❞

❝we are not bullying you jeno.❞ renjun giggled and went to give a peck on jeno's cheeks for the male to stop pouting. ❝we just really love to tease you.❞

jaemin only gave jeno those flying kisses. ❝i want to kiss you too but mark is clinging to me.❞

❝mark,❞ jeno started and getting the older's attention once he called him. ❝jaemin is our boyfriend by the way.❞

boyfriend? that only word triggered him and all memories came flashing back to his head. from the fun times with those smiles, laughs, and jokes, to the down times with all the crying, arguing, and now breaking up.

❝boyfriend.❞ mark let out a chuckle, scaring all of them. ❝i also have a boyfriend. he is cute, fluffy, true definition of a baby, and have i mentioned that he shines like the sun?❞

seeing mark looking like this and hearing him say all those made jaemin frown. he can't help but also feel bad and the same time he feels mark's pain. he was always right there whenever mark would talk about donghyuck and he could see the excitement in his eyes. sure, mark did fuck up, but all his intentions were good.

he was just too dumb to do it the right way.

❝wait.❞ jeno then froze from his seat, just catching up to the moment just down. ❝holy—❞

❝a word costs an hour sleeping at the living room.❞ renjun said, reminding jeno about cursing.

❝holy mother of earth!❞ jeno covered himself up, earning a snort from jaemin. ❝so mark isn't playing with donghyuck?❞

a groan escaped from jaemin's mouth. ❝want me to repeat the whole thing jeno?❞

❝let me see if you remembered the exact words donghyuck used.❞ the smiling angel challenged, making jaemin click his tongue. ❝so all this time, mark only loved donghyuck?❞

❝no, jeno, he loves me.❞ renjun rolled his eyes, couldn't believe that jeno is asking obvious questions.

❝i'd probably kill him if that happens.❞ jeno threatened before going back to his purpose. ❝donghyuck has taken it all wrong then!❞

with mark still crying, the older nonetheless went to listen to jeno the moment he heard his sunshine's— donghyuck's name.

jaemin furrowed his brows at he eyed jeno. ❝what do you mean?❞

❝when you nod your head yes but you wanna say no.❞

his two boyfriends then let out impatient groans when jeno decided to play around at a serious situation. ❝lee jeno!❞

❝okay, here.❞ the male then leaned his back on the sofa and crossed his arms after looking at mark who looks miserable with all those crying. ❝donghyuck thinks that mark is not loyal and is hoeing around.❞

mark's lips quivered after hearing that. ❝but i love him, only him.❞

❝yeah, now i know that you had good intentions with what you were doing.❞ jeno said and then rubbed his temples to show how disappointed he was with mark. ❝but bro, that's not how you do it.❞

it felt weird being called as bro but anyhows, mark still nodded his head. ❝okay b-bro.❞

❝jeno is actually right.❞ renjun said, causing for jeno to sit with full confidence.

❝ha, of course i am!❞

but they ignored him and went to comfort mark who's crying after finding out that what he did was a mistakr. ❝i know you want everything to be perfect for donghyuck but mark, you shouldn't use people.❞

❝i'm s-sorry..❞ mark hiccuped, gripping onto jaemin's shirt very tight.

this mark is so different that the mark lee seen always in the hallways flirting around everywhere with anyone and jaemin hated the fact that he is weak whenever mark shows this side of his.

❝what if other people likes it but donghyuck wont? what if other people doesn't like it but donghyuck actually loves it?❞ renjun said, educating a crying mark. ❝when you are in a relationship, you should stick yourself to that person and only do everything to that special someone.❞

❝b-but what if h-he doesn't like what i do?❞ mark snffedd, listening to renjun intently.

❝well, at least you'll know what he doesn't like. it's much more easier trying on new things with donghyuck than on other people.❞ the short male said with everyone now listening, both jaemin's and jeno's jaw dropping. ❝everyone is different, mark. we are not the same, we have different likes and dislikes. it's better to go try things on donghyuck to see what his likes and dislikes are than using other people for it.❞

jaemin was in awe with his boyfriend. ❝renjun.❞

❝what?❞ the short male then raised brow at jaemin who's clapping slowly.

❝you are one dynamite little spoon.❞ he compliment, getting a disappointing sigh from renjun.

ignoring jaemin for a moment, renjun placed his attention on mark who's starting to get things. ❝do you understand mark?❞

❝i do.❞ and mark just realized that indeed, he was stupid. ❝but what do i do now? we broke up and—❞

❝no fear pal!❞ jeno scoffed, finally making himself of use. ❝i got plenty of ways for that.❞

the two boyfriends sure knows about jeno and his dumb ways. ❝how about no?❞

that made jeno frown sadly but renjun is right next to him to comfort him. jaemin continued to pat and rub mark's back until he gets an idea and when he did, he almost pushed mark down the ground. jaemin's two boyfriends would probably be happy to see him detach himself away from jaemin after hours of clinging to their boyfriend.

❝mark i have tons of ideas and i swear it's not as dumb as jeno's.❞ jaemin said with a proud smile on his face.

the smiling angel then placed a hand on his chest and looked like he was insulted by what jaemin said. ❝are you calling me dumb?❞

❝telling donghyuck to strip, seduce mark, and make him jealous.❞ renjun listed the ways he had found out about jeno which he told to donghyuck. ❝are you making him get a taste of his dic—❞

❝a word costs an hour sleeping at the living room.❞ it was jaemin's turn to remind them of that.

renjun groaned at that stupid rule they agreed on. what's the point of acting like an angel when they definitely are not angels. ❝come on, we all have that and we are guys.❞

❝right, we all have dic—❞

❝make that two hours with no pillows nor a blanket.❞ jaemin said with that sweet smile of his.

❝dictionaries about the human body!❞ jeno saved himself. ❝and my favorite part is definitely the dingdong.❞

renjun could only shake his head at how jeno defended himself. ❝what i am trying to say is, just let jaemin help mark. you did well in helping donghyuck though.❞

jaemin smiled at his small boyfriend before facing mark who's already stopping himself from crying anymore. ❝promise me mark that you're going to do all of this to donghyuck and no other else.❞

❝but what if he won't like it? i need to make sure that—❞

there he goes again. jaemin then shut him up before mark tells a whole essay about how insecure he is in their relationship. ❝for better or for worst.❞

knowing this line, jeno continued for jaemin. ❝in sickness and in health.❞

seeing that his boyfriends were saying something, which he doesn't catch up to, renjun just felt the need to also speak. ❝in bros and in babes?❞

sighing for the nth time of the day, jaemin went back to their topic. ❝donghyuck will still love you in every mistakes you do, you just got to learn from it and never repeat it more than twice.❞

nodding at what jaemin said, mark decided to man up and be confident this time around. ❝okay, i'll do it.❞

❝you're aiming to be a perfect boyfriend, mark.❞ jaemin said with a smile. ❝which isn't wrong actually but you're being too perfect for him. what you really need to do is just be you and be the best boyfriend. you don't have to be perfect but you can be the best for him.❞

bringing his hands up and wiping his tears away, mark couldn't help but break down once more in jaemin's words. ❝i honestly will not know what i would do if i don't have you by my side.❞

❝sshh now..❞ jaemin actually looks like he's taking care of a baby than taking care of a heartbroken person that just broke up with his boyfriend. ❝now, will you listen to me?❞

❝jaemin, tell me.❞
