"I think we should turn off the live now," Jeno said, eyeing one comment that made him suspicious.

"Yeah it's getting late!" Jaemin said. Hyejin sighed and waved to the camera before walking out. She slammed the door and stood in the hallway.

Jeno ran out of the room.

"Hyejin! What the heck?" He said. She paced back and forth.

"I need to hit something. Do you have anything I can throw?" She asked. He gave her a bouncy ball he had in his pocket. She chucked it and it hit a wall 15 feet away.

"He is so annoying!" She said, putting her hand out. Jeno handed her a pen. She threw it as if it was a football.

"I told him to pretend he likes me! Because he's a baby and still has a problem with me!" She said, throwing a gum wrapper from her pocket.

"He can't sit still for 30 minutes and not react!" She said.

"Why don't you try talking to him?" Jeno said, giving her a hair tie.

"Why do you have this?"

"Remeber when I let you braid my hair?"

"Ohh, ok!" She said. She threw the hair tie but it didn't go far.

"I tried that Jeno! He's selfish. And he has a problem against me for no apparent reason. He can't man up and let me apologize for whatever the hell I did!"

"Hyejin Mark-"

"Mark is a brat and only cares about himself! "

"Hyejin Mark is-"

"Mark is heartless and has no feelings and is a worthless... im running out of adjectives!" She yelled. She closed her eyes and sighed. She turned around.

"Ok Jeno I'm-"

"Is that what you really think of me?" Mark asked. He was standing their and the rest of the Dreamies were behind him.

"M-Mark-"

"You are such a hypocrite!" He scoffed. She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Me?"

"Your sitting here saying I'm selfish and I don't care about others, when you don't have the decency to apologize!"

"Apologize? Mark, your the one who gave me permission. You said that you were happy for me!" She yelled walking up to him.

"The fact that you thought to ask my permission meant that you thought there was something between us!" He said. She widened her eyes and hesitated.

"T-that's not... I-it's not that.... I-I'm not-"

"Exactly so I'm right?" He said, crossing his arms. She looked at him and then Jaemin. Jaemin couldn't even look at her.

"No, I asked you for permission because I couldn't hurt you!" She said. Tears threatened to fall down her face. He rolled his eyes.

"M-Mark... I'm sorry." She said, reaching for his arm. He pulled away.

"Forget it. I shouldn't be mad because I'm heartless and don't have feelings." He said. Walking away.

"M-Mark you know I didn't mean it!" She said walking after him. Jeno grabbed her wrist.

"Let him go." He said. The other boys went inside the room they were recording the vlive except for Jaemin.

"Babe," She said. He didn't look at her.

"Was.. was what he said true?" He asked. Tears rolled down her cheek.

"I-I'm such a terrible person." She said. Jaemin didn't comfort her nor hug her or look at her.

"You didn't answer my question." He said, coldly. She looked up at him and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Jaemin."

"Your not answering it why can't you just give me an answer!" He asked. She scoffed and wiped her tears.

"This is what your worried about right now? You want to know if I had doubts about dating you? Right now? Right after I just yelled at my best friend in the whole world!" She said. He didn't reply. She scoffed again and walked away.

~~~

"Your not a bad person for the last time."

"Just because you keep saying it doesn't mean that I'll believe it." She said. Currently, Hyejin had her head on Jisung's lap while he and Chenle played video games.

"Hyejin, we've all said things we don't mean. For you it happens when your talking about that person they appear behind you out of nowhere," Chenle said, shrugging. She rolled her eyes.

"I feel like I'm bothering you guys." She said. There was no response.

"Ok goodbye." She said, walking into her room. She found Haechan sitting on her bed.

"I never let you in here."

"Since when do I ask permission?" He said. She sighed and laid down next to her. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"My friendship with Mark is over." She said. He stroked her head.

"Your still crying about that?" He said. She sat up.

"I- I'm just going to go ask someone who is not going to bully me about my stupid decisions." She said. He pulled her down.

"I'm sorry. I just thought you would have apologized by now." He said. She played with the rings on his fingers and shrugged.

"I know Mark. He doesn't hate you. He loves you more than anyone else, Hyejin. He makes sure your always safe and nothing happens to you." She bit her lip to prevent her from crying.

"But he hasn't been talking to me."

"Yeah but he has been talking about you. He's always asking if your ok or if he's hurt you, stuff like that. He cares about you Hyejinnie." He said.

"But he's not going to talk to me unless he knew I was dying or something." She said. Haechan sat up.

"That's a great idea." He said. Hyejin furrowed her eyebrows.

"Lee Donghuck if you do anything to scare them I will-" Haechan ran out of the room and outside the dorm.

"Wha- Haechan!" She yelled.

~~~

Hyejin laid on her bed, thinking of what to say to Mark. She heard the front door open but didn't react because she thought it was Haechan.

"Where is she?" A voice yelled. She slowly sat up when she heard footsteps come to her room. The door violently swung open to reveal a worried Mark and Jaemin.

"Holy-" Mark ran up to her and hugged her. He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her. She smiled. She hasn't done that in a long time.

"I'm so sorry. Im so sorry." He said, caressing her back.

She looked at Jaemin who was starring at them, so she slowly pulled away.

"What's wrong?" She asked. The two boys exchanged confusing looks.

"Haechan said you tried to come look for me when I left. And you fell down the stairs. He said you were really hurt and had a bunch of bruises..." he said. Lifting her arms and legs to see if she was hurt. She just looked at him.

"But you don't have any bruises which means you never fell." He said.

"He made it up, Hyung." She said, softly. He scoffed.

"Why?"

"Because it was the only way that you would talk to me." She said. He stood up. Jaemin sighed, realizing what was going to happen and slowly walked out of the room.

"What do you mean?"

"Mark every day since that day I've wanted to talk to you. I've wanted to ask if you were ok. Mark your my best friend. I've known you longer than anyone else. You didn't think I would notice if you stopped talking to me?" She said. Mark looked down.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying not to do anything that would effect your relationship with me." He said. She stood up and grabbed his hands.

"You don't have to apologize. I'm the one who said those horrible things about you. And I swear Mark I didn't mean to call you a- I don't even remeber what I said. I was angry and I just said it but I didn't mean it." She said. He smiled.

"Hyejin. I'm not mad about that. I was just shocked. And besides, I'm the one who's been avoiding you. I've been trying to stay away so I can understand what it feels like to be away from you."

"Why would you want to be away from me?" She asked.

"I was still in love with you- I am still in love with you. And I can't stop thinking about it." He said. She gulped and looked away.

"B-But the reason I avoided you is because I couldn't look at you with Jaemin. It was to hard for me to accept. I knew that if you say I love you, your not going to mean it the same way that I do." He said. She looked up at him as he inter winded their hands.

"But I know I'd rather have you as my best friend than nothing at all." He said. She smiled.

"You want to know why I asked you for permission when Jaemin said he loves me? Why I hesitated?" She said. He nodded his head.

"Because I liked you Mark. I liked you a lot. And I wasn't sure if I was going to be happy with Jaemin. But then I realized I do in fact love Jaemin. As always, you were right." She said. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her. They held each other tight and stayed in that position for a while.

"I love you Hyejin." He whispered. She pulled away from the hug and stared at Mark with a smile. They stayed like that for a while, looking At each other.

They slowly moved closer to each other. Their faces were so close that she could feel his warm breath hitting her lips.

Wait Hyejin. Stop she told herself. But she didn't move.

"Mark." She whispered. He stopped moving closer.

"I'm sorry." She said. He shook his head.

"No no. It can't happen." He said. She smiled. She stood on her tip toes to kiss his cheek.

"I love you too, Mark." She said. He laughed at her before they sat on her bed to catch up.

~~~

Jaemin let the wind hit his face. He was standing outside on the porch, staring out into the city. He barely noticed when his girlfriend walked up to him and gave him a peck on his cheek. He didn't react.

"Are you and Mark good now?" He asked. Hyejin hummed in response. She looked up at him.

"What about us? Are we good?" She asked. He cleared his throat before looking away. She sighed before pulling him into a forced hug.

"I love you Jaemin. And only you. Yes, I did have doubts at the beginning of this relationship but what matters is what's going on right now." She said. He still didn't react.

"What is it gonna take, Na Jaemin?" She asked. He shrugged. She rolled her eyes before smashing her lips onto his. Jaemin reacted instantly by cupping her face. She tangled her fingers in his cotton candy like hair.

They slowly pulled away. Jaemin bit his lip. Hyejin's cheeks turned red.

"Do you forgive me now?" She asked. He shook his head no. She pulled away from him before attempting to run inside.

He started laughing as he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug.

"Your cute when you try to be seductive."

"W-well it worked didn't it?" She said. He chuckled before kissing the top of her head.

"So were good?" She asked. He caressed her back.

"Yeah. We're good"
