“We have less than an hour to prepare!” Bambam half-shouted from Jinyoung’s room who was preparing clothes for Jinyoung to wear in Junsu’s birthday.

“Blame Jackson for being too slow” Yugyeom grumbled, cleaning off some dirt on his clothes with a roller, Yugyeom checked himself in front of the mirror and styled his hair, Junsu afterall blows an elegant slash wild party.

Jinyoung got out from the bathroom after brushing his teeth and cleaning his face, “Are you ready with my clothes, Bam?” walking towards his room.

“Yes, hyung. Don’t worry. It’s your style”

Jinyoung got inside his room and started wearing the clothes laid out on the bed for him, he pulled on his black jeans and his striped shirt- wait

Jinyoung lifted the striped shirt and examined it carefully, “This isn’t mine?” he glanced over at Bambam who was busy pampering himself with a concealer to cover unwanted acnes and his dark circles.

Bambam glanced at him and at the shirt, he shrugged “I don’t know. I thought it was newly bought you since it’s settled there on your night stand” he pointed at the night stand with a blue opened box over it.

Jinyoung knitted his eyebrows together in confusion, recalling maybe he bought it but forgot about it, he went out the room and called for Jaebum who was already settled on the couch waiting for the rest to finish, “Jaebum, did you buy a new shirt?”

Jaebum looked at him shaking his head, “I was planning to buy one though”, Jinyoung had his mouth in an ‘O’ shape and slowly nodded, retreating back to his room.

Bambam lifted an untouched card then called Jinyoung, “There’s a letter, though. I won’t read it”

Jinyoung took the card and mentally read the content, words minimal and short:

I know you liked striped shirts. Enjoy the party.

- Your Admirer

Jinyoung softly shrieked then looked at Bambam who was waiting for a reaction, “What it say?” Bambam asked. He made Bambam read the content, “It’s from the admirer.”

All boys looked at Bambam then at Jinyoung who came out of the room already wearing the striped shirt given by the admirer. Jaebum just smiled and said it looked good on Jinyoung.

The three remaining boys shared a look at each other and a secret smile, Yugyeom smiled to himself knowing that Mark’s secret plan was moving on to progress. Jackson giggled to himself, clearly couldn’t take the romantic act Mark pulled and Bambam looked at Jinyoung and he thought, ‘you have no idea what’s waiting for you hyung’.

Jinyoung nodded to himself, “The admirer clearly has a taste” checking himself on the mirror and fixing his hair. After the group was done changing, they then proceeded to Junsu a.k.a Jun.K’s Wild Party.

“Okay. He is totally spilling all his savings in this party” Bambam stared at the house before him with a pair of large lights dancing around the sky and a lot of light beams coloured green, red, blue and pink dancing around the venue. Booming music can clearly be heard from the entrance, “There’s a lot of people, too” Yugyeom added.

They entered the large house Junsu rented just for his party, a line of table by each side of the ballroom, food on top and also a whole line of desserts. Alcohols were on the bar just beside the DJ booth and the group knew it was going to be a long night.

Junsu danced his way to the group, martini on hand, luckily he was still sober. “Welcome to Jun.K’s WILS WILD WILD Party” he welcomed them. Giving each of the boys a bro hug.

“I actually invited Youngjae and Mark but works they couldn’t come. So apparently they hired an amazing set of DJs for me” Junsu pointed at the 3 DJs on the area, “PKCZ” he said.

“Hey man! Party is just getting started” Sway, Junsu’s Japanese friend, called for him earning a salute from Junsu to the group, “I guess I shall leave you here. Have fun” with that Junsu swam through the crowd, dancing.

Jackson made himself comfortable and started dancing through the crowd with Yugyeom and Bambam trailing behind him, “Whoop whoop yea boi” Bambam screamed, dabbing aggressively.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes at the boys’ wild acts and looked at Jaebum, “How about we go to the bar?” earning a nod from Jaebum. They pushed their way to the bar and settled down on the stool. Jaebum ordered two shots of tequila for them both them rested his back against the counter, watching the crowd before them which Jinyoung did the same.

“I can see Jackson from here considering how short he is” Jinyoung snickered, eyes on the three boys dancing aggressively and Jackson who was having a dance battle with Yugyeom who clearly lost against his dongsaeng.

“It’s embarrassing” Jaebum downed his tequila, “I can’t believe we’re friends with them” he said earning a laugh from Jinyoung who was covering his mouth as a habit when he laughs too much.

“Still so youthful and full of energy. Seems like we’re still in college looking at how crazy they are. This felt like back in college, us in a frat party and Jackson who was wasted above us all”

Jaebum smiled, “Mark was the only one sober enough to stand and walk. his high tolerance on alcohol”

Jinyoung fell silent, not because of suddenly being uncomfortable but because he was reminiscing the moments Jaebum mentioned.

“Why don’t you ing walk straight?!” Mark growled, lifting Jackson up one arm over Mark’s shoulder and Mark’s free hand on Jackson’s waist to keep him steady.

“Therr arrr alottaah ladiessss” Jackson slurred, leaning his weight on poor Mark who exerted all force and strength to keep Jackson balanced.

Bambam was helping Jaebum together with Youngjae, they had no problem at all with Jaebum who was trying to stay up and walk properly but somehow failed, the better point was Jaebum wasn’t boisterous unlike Jackson.

Yugyeom was also helping Jinyoung to steady himself, the younger ones only had beer and wasn’t allowed to drink hard drinks by the orders of Jaebum.

Both Jackson and Mark flopped in front, lading on the concrete ground on their knees, Mark made a low growl smacking Jackson on thigh, “I’m ing considering leaving you here on the ground”

Bambam, Youngjae and Yugyeom snickered at the sight of Mark and Jackson on the ground, Mark stood up and dusted the dirt on his pants, staring down at Jackson then crossed his arms over his chest.

“Gagaaaa~” Jackson whined, rolling on the ground, extending his arms out for Mark to grab but he had enough of Jackson’s acts, “I swear if you push me off again I’m burning all your snapbacks and caps”

Jackson dramatically let out a gasp and sat up, “Gaga~” he pouted, looking at Mark still putting his arms out for Mark to grab. Mark released a heavy sigh and grabbed Jackson’ arm who was wobbly on his feet in seconds.

Mark kneeled in front of Jackson back facing his best friend, “Get on my back” Mark commanded which Jackson happily obeyed now that he’s carried by Mark, “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this” he muttered under his breath.

Though Jinyoung wasn’t completely drunk, he smiled at the friendship before him and couldn’t help but feel jealous seeing Mark carrying Jackson on his back. Mark checked up on Jinyoung behind them to see if he was fine by the care of Yugyeom, he gave Jinyoung a warm smile who was childishly pouting at him, “I want you to carry me, too”

Mark let out a cute giggle, “When you get drunk again, babe” he gave him a wink before proceeding back to walking, hoisting Jackson up again who was slowly slipping from his grip.

“Did I make you uncomfortable?” Jaebum had his palm against Jinyoung’s lap snapping him back to reality, Jinyoung shook his head, “No. I just thought of something”

Jaebum smiled, “Now let’s talk about the admirer’s present” he teased, poking at the striped shirt Jinyoung was wearing, “they clearly knew what you like”

Jinyoung rubbed the cloth between his fingers, “they probably saw me wearing a lot of stripes during college and maybe even now”

“I’m actually excited to meet this admirer”

Jinyoung whipped his head fast facing Jaebum in shock, “Oh really? Are you okay with your husband having an admirer?”

Jaebum nodded, “I’m not afraid of anything. After all we already tied the knot” intertwining his fingers with Jinyoung and gave him a teasing wink.

Jinyoung scoffed and rolled his eyes, “I’m stuck with you” he laughed and looked at Jaebum dearly. Was he happy with Jaebum? Yes, he is positively happy. Glad? He is. Contented? Indeed. Did he feel complete with Jaebum? It’s an answer he had to reconsider, he doesn’t know what to answer or if he was indeed complete with him. Strange.

Youngjae walked out the balcony and saw Mark leaning over the railings, elbows over it and a cigarette between his fingers, “How are you feeling, hyung?”

Mark puffed a smoke and leaned on his side partly facing Youngjae, “I’m fine, Youngjae” eyeing the cigarette then placing it back again inbetween his lips, lifting his head up and releasing a puff of smoke above his head which was blown aways by the wind after, Youngjae inhaled a painful smell of smoke and coughed, “You should really stop smoking, hyung”

“I’m anxious”

Youngjae made his way beside Mark quickly stealing the cigarette stick from Mark’s fingers. He dropped it on the marble floor before stomping it using his heel. Finally killing it. Mark eyed his dead cigarette then glanced back at Youngjae, “I was almost done with that”

Youngjae sighed, eyeing Mark, “Smoking is bad” Youngjae softened at the look of Mark’s eyes, full of anxiety and worry, “What is getting you so anxious hyung?”

Mark heaved a heavy sigh, leaning over the balcony looking distantly at the clear Cali sky before him, “Meeting Jinyoung”

“Hyung” Youngja rested his palm against Mark’s back smoothing him, “its okay. Just be strong like yourself. You’ll meet him and everything will set to place. Everything will be fine”

“I just want to talk to him and settle things between us. I never wish to separate them both and I don’t want to be that bad guy”

“It’s okay, hyung” still smoothing his back, “No one’s accusing you of being a bad person”. Youngjae never want Mark to look down on himself and lose confidence on himself. Mark’s the most caring and selfless person he knows and seeing him accusing himself of something he is not just worries Youngjae a lot more.

“One more present left” Mark mumbled under his breath still clear enough for Youngjae to hear.

Youngjae gave Mark a wide grin, even he himself is excited about the D-DAY, “You’ll get through this, hyung. I know you can do this. Bambam, Yugyeom and heck! Even your bestfriend, Jackson believes in you”

Mark let out a small smile and patted Youngjae on the head, “Thanks, otter” he snickered, making his way back to his room.

Youngjae pouted, “I told you for the hundredth time. I am not an otter” he complained, catching up to Mark. A smile crept up on Youngjae’s face, he was glad Mark is back to his usual teasing self.

“Jackson!” Bambam exclaimed, “You need to stop this! You already drank a lot” he stole a glass of vodka from Jackson’s grip and placed it back on the counter.

“I’m not drrrrunk, I-I’m j-jusssteu t-tips-tipsy” Jackson slurred, unable to keep himself balanced, he leaned his back against the counter.

“You are clearly drunk” Jinyoung retorted, shoving a glass of water on Jackson’s hand to keep him hydrated and to wake him up.

“Ah! Jinyoung! The admirer! Do you know your admirer? D-do you know? Jackson giggled to himself with his eyes closed and arms waving on the air, “A-admirer. Name is M-“ Yugyeom shoved a whole lemon inside his mouth before Jackson could mention the admirer’s name.

Jinyoung was stunned at the sight before him, giving Yugyeom a questioning look, “What? He’s too loud” Yugyeom reasoned out still keeping the lemon inside Jackson’s mouth. Jinyoung no longer dwelled on Jackson because whenever Jackson is drunk, random words would just come gushing out of his mouth and he is positive Jackson had no idea who the admirer is.

“Ooookay” a sober Bambam announced, “I think it’s time for us to head home since one here is already helpless” everyone glanced at the wasted Jackson blabbering about penguins and peaches.

“Expect him to skip work tomorrow” Jinyoung said to Jaebum who agreed with a nod, “No one is going to help him with the hangover. The least we could do is send him home early”

“Nice save there, man. With the lemons” Bambam patted Yugyeom on the back because if it weren’t for Yugyeom and his lemons, they will never know what might happen if Jinyoung and Jaebum discovers who the admirer is. It will shake their world.

Jaebum and Jinyoung trusted Yugyeom and Bambam in taking care of the wasted Jackson and hopefully when they arrive at his apartment he’ll be less drunk. Yugyeom and Bambam hailed a cab to Jackson’s apartment and probably will lecture and scold him even though he’ll forget it the following day.

“Good morning, Mr. Tuan” the employees greeted him while he and Youngjae proceeded to his office. Mark was finally feeling well and ready to tackle a new sets of proposals to decline and approve. The pair walked their way out the elevator to the end door of the hallway, “Youngjae, what’s my schedule today?”

Youngjae opened the iPad to see Mark’s hectic schedule for the day, “a meeting at 11:30am and then a written interview at 1pm. 2:30 will be another board meeting, 4pm presentation of proposals, 6pm will be another blind date, then the rest of the evening is yours to freely spend. Oh yeah, by 10pm you’ll ship the present and by 2am Jinyoung will receive it” Youngjae exhaled deeply after announcing the schedules.

“Thanks, Youngjae” Mark straightened his suit, brushing off non-existent dust and entered the wide office overlooking California. Mark flopped on his leather chair, eyes focused on the pile of papers before him. He heaved a deep sigh before opening each paper and signed papers that were supposed to be signed.

Mark couldn’t help but feel anxious about the one that he’d supposed to do by 10pm and that is to ship the present to Jinyoung that would conclude everything, he was anxious about Jinyoung finding out who he is and not finding out who the admirer is. Mixed emotions were felt and all he could do for now is sign ing papers and exhale deeply to help him calm down.

Mark asked for Youngjae to quickly report in his office, Youngjae fastened his pace expecting Mark to ask him to do something related to business. Youngjae knocked on Mark’s office door two times and after hearing the go signal he immediately went inside, Mark was standing by the ceiling-to-floor window watching the view before him while smoking another stick of cigarette.

“What is it, Mark?”

“If I’ll go to Seoul, you’ll accompany me, right?” Mark asked without breaking his contact to the scenery infront of him.

Youngjae became flustered at the sudden question, Youngjae nodded obviously knowing mark would never notice it, “Yeah”

Mark puffed another smoke in the air, twisting his heel to look at Younjae, eyes full of anxiety and worry. Youngjae sighed to himself, ‘not again’

“Hyung, are you nervous?”

Mark nodded in reply, “I can’t keep my mind off of it. I kept drifting off and it’s making me jittery on my feet. I am practically screwed”

“Do you want me to cancel all your appointments?”

Mark thought for a while then shook his head, “I need to distract myself” Mark took another puff of smoke then twisting the cigarette on the ashtray.

“You need not to worry, hyung. We are always here to cheer you on” Youngjae reassured him, eyeing Mark who was leaning his weight on the desk.

“He’d seriously know who I am when he’d get to see the last present” Mark anxiously stared at the black velvet necklace box on the glass table before him. That present concludes everything and is honestly nerve wrecking.

“And you have to face it with confidence and be firm, okay? Just think of your goal and the reason why these all things started”

Mark nodded. He’d get anxious way too easily and he wuld overthink things a lot. He needed people like Youngjae, Jackson, Yugyeom and Bambam to reassure and to convince him that everything will turn out right. Jaebum would also reassure him when he’d feel down, he experienced that a lot during college and Jinyoung, Jinyoung was best at keeping him sane and he’d refuse Mark to overthink situations a lot. Jinyoung would always remind him every day that everything will turn out good and well, he’d shower him with endless kisses and hugs, Jinyoung kept him on his feet and this was the reason why he did all these. He needed Jinyoung to know how much loved he is and how much Jinyoung’s love for Mark made him strong. He’d want him to realize that he is grateful and no matter what happens, he always will love him. Mark will always love him even if he feels otherwise. And if he could turn back time then he’ll correct all the mistakes he did. Mark didn’t regret a thing and was thankful it was Jaebum. Jaebum who loved Jinyoung maybe more than Mark loves Jinyoung.

Night had settled and Mark was beyond nervous, he already sent the present, privately shipping it from California to Seoul. Perks of being a CEO. He was beyond nervous and the present will safely arrive at Jinyoung and Jaebum’s unit after four hours.

“Motherer” Mark muttered under his breathe, palm sweaty and an uneasy breathing, “Everything will be fine” he reminded himself, convincing him that this wasn’t the end of the world, hell! He’d prefer the end of the world rather than humiliating himself.

Pacing back and forth in his house, he was restless and knowing he could never back out the moment he had it shipped away. He quickly loosened his tie, he could no longer breathe steadily, there were lots of possible scenarios running inside his mind and none of those were pleasing. “Just breathe deeply” he told himself. Anxiety was beginning to crawl back inside his mind, coating his body with darkness if he keeps overthinking, no, he thought he was mentally strong but he wasn’t; he was almost in the verge of spilling his tears. Youngjae was nowhere in sight since he was also busy with work plus he also have a life of his own to deal, Mark’s facing his anxiety all alone just like the rest of the years without Jinyoung. He had to deal with the stress and the pressure on his own, he had to talk himself out and force himself to sleep, and shutting the world around him while covering himself with his duvet and his windows shut close and his curtains drawn close.

Three hours had passed and Mark was fully awake, or more like he could not go to sleep no matter what he does; drink milk, listening to his playlist that would lull him to sleep, tossing and turning but nothing, sleep doesn’t come to him. He was so nervous, one more hour and Jinyoung will receive the gift and by the looks of the gift, Mark’s positively sure Jinyoung will know who it is from and that inevitable possibility is what mark had feared, the fear of being rejected. What if Jinyoung knows about it all this time? Hat if Jinyoung doesn’t want to associate himself with Mark again? What if? What if Jinyoung still hated Mark for the things he did? Mark couldn’t help but think these thoughts. If only he was brave enough, if only he was brave enough five years ago then he and Jinyoung would have lived happily ever after. If only.

Suddenly his phone jolted him, snapping him from his daze, he fished his phone out and read the caller’s ID ‘Choi Youngjae’ Mark cleared his throat before pressing the button to accept the call, “Yeah?” he answered.

“Are you doing fine, hyung? Do you want me to come over there? To keep you company”

Mark felt truly grateful to have a friend as caring and thoughtful like Youngjae, he knowingly smiled to himself because he knew for himself that he needed some company, to reassure him that it’ll all be fine and will turn out great, “Please” Mark replied with a low voice, he could not muster another word knowing he could not trust himself, he could breakdown anytime and with a pride high as his, he wouldn’t want to breakdown during a phone call.

“Just stay calm, hyung. I’m coming” Youngjae replied before he ended the call, atleast when the gift arrives at the foot of Jinyoung and Jaebum’s door, Mark would have someone to lean on and someone to distract his thoughts as dark as a tunnel.

“Hyung?” Youngjae called out from the living room, without an answer he’s guessing Mark is in his balcony, he always is in his balcony. Youngjae dashed up the stairs to Mark’s bedroom and he was right as he opened the bedroom door and saw the curtains flapping by the opened sliding door from Mark’s balcony.

“Hyung” Youngjae called out again while he walked his way to the balcony, “I’m here” a soft, audible voice was heard from Youngjae’s distance. “How are you?” he asked, settling his hand over Mark’s shoulder, he could sense Mark was tensed from the way his shoulders looked, stiff.

“Nervous, that’s all” Mark replied before sipping on his glass of red wine, he needed the drink to calm his nerves down even just for a little bit, “It’s almost seven pm in Seoul. He would’ve received it in 30 minutes” he added, checking his watch, counting the minutes, seconds that had gone by.

Youngjae held Mark’s wrist where the wrist watch was placed around, he settled it on the railings of the balcony keeping it away from Mark’s sight, “Just don’t think about it. Don’t worry about it” he looked wearily at Mark who was looking at the buildings before him under the blackness of the sky. It was already dawn in California but both couldn’t fall asleep, with Mark getting anxious and Youngjae worried at his friend.

7:00 pm Jinyoung read his wrist watch, he grumbled then stared at the boys before him. They were at the bar, trying to have a good time, Jackson insisted and the younger ones didn’t mind. But it was still early for them to drink plus Jinyoung had this unsettling feeling in his chest that he couldn’t shake off. Jackson wrapped his arm around Jinyoung, “You need to ease up, Nyoung” he sheepishly said and Jinyoung made a mental note to not help Jackson when he’s wasted later on.

Jinyoung rolled his eyes then grabbed Jackson’s arm and shoved it down, earning a pout from latter, “So rude, Mister Park Jinyoung”

“Hyung is a married man now, remember that. He doesn’t want to socialize with us anymore” Yugyeom teased, Jinyoung knew it was half-meant because it was indeed true and the boys would never shut up about it, “Just for this night, Hyung. Drink with us and have fun for tonight”

Jinyoung, knowing he’ll lose this battle, gave out a heavy sigh and nodded his head, “I’ll drink a little. I have to be sober on the road” earning a cheer from three grown men, “Okay, here!” Bambam offered him or more like slid a martini on Jinyoung’s side before downing his own shot of tequila.

Now the rest of the night were spent on the boys complaining how Bambam spends his money on useless things, “This item is from my idol, my role model! I have to have it and support him” Bambam exclaimed.

“A bulldog clip, really?!” Jackson barked back, earning an eyeroll from Bambam, “Hyung, you know nothing about fashion. You are always way too obsessed on organic food and drink, it’s actually annoying”

“Say that one more time!” Jackson demanded, boys were obviously drunk and now creating a ruckus inside the bar.

By 10 in the evening. Jinyoung observed them and he could not deny how happy he feels seeing these boys quarrelling like the usual, Jackson and Bambam bickering and Yugyeom at the back supporting and cheering for his bestfriends. Just like in college, they never really did change, they may have changed physically and in their line of work but their personalities remained.

Jinyoung nearly forgot about the last gift and the thought of it made him want to go home and open the gift. Who could it be? Will I know the admirer when I open the gift? A couple of questions sat inside his mind and he was wide awake. Yugyeom who noticed Jinyoung’s off mood asked him what was wrong.

“The admirer” He simply replied.

“What about him- the admirer?” Yugyeom had to mentally slap himself, he should stop slipping off hints.

“It’s the last day today” Yugyeom sensed the sad tone in Jinyoung’s voce and he couldn’t help but feel either happy about it or feel sad. Still he was in Mark’s side and could feel the plan taking its effect.

“You should be excited, right? No one’s going to bother you now” Yugyeom didn’t actually mean it, he wanted to know just a little about Jinyoung’s opinion on this one, he was itching and wants to convince himself that Jinyoung feels sad about it, it was evident in Jinyoung’s face but just what if he was wrong? What if Jinyoung was really annoyed at the presents and now he feels excited that it’ll be over soon? Yugyeom could never shake a negative thought off.

“It just. I don’t know how to feel. I feel like I should be happy, right? But I’m feeling otherwise” Jinyoung bit his bottom lip, uneasy about the feeling, “Whoever this person is, they made me feel this way”

“Do you want to go home?” Yugyeom suggested which earned a questioned glance from Jinyoung, “Why? Are you okay with it? I mean-“ he took a glance at the drunken state of two boys.

Yugyeom nodded, he thought about Mark getting anxious about the present that were to arrive at seven in the evening and now it’s past ten in the evening. He felt sorry for Mark maybe not getting enough sleep because he was nervous. Yugyeom couldn’t bear the thought of Mark struggling and he prayed and hoped to himself that Youngjae’s there to help him.

“I can handle them, hyung. Just go home and do what you have to do. Whatever that present is, just remember to think twice and think it overtime before making a decision” This time, Yugyeom pleased and Jinyoung was more preoccupied mentally that he didn’t dwell more on Yugyeom’s expression. He nodded then stood up after bidding the two boys a good night.

To: Mark Hyung

Hyung. I’m sorry for keeping Jinyoung out for too long. I know you’re nervous and anxious and I lost track of time, I’m honestly so sorry. I sent him hime now, he should arrive in 15 minutes. Good luck, hyung

SENT.

From: Mark Hyung

You don’t have to apologize. Thank you, Gyeom. I’m okay for now plus Youngjae is here to keep me company

Yugyeom happily sighed knowing Youngjae was there to keep him company. After closing his phone, he darted his gaze back at both drunk boys, heaving a deep breath, he though ‘Now what shall I do with these two?’

Jinyoung hurriedly climbed off of his car then fast walked his way towards the entrance in the building to the reception desk, “Is it here?” Jinyoung breathlessly asked the old guy. The old guy smiled at him warmly, already expecting him to walk straight to him, “Now aren’t we getting too excited?” the old man teased earning Jinyoung to blush, he wasn’t aware about his actions and now that he thought about it he sounded too excited, to excited for his liking. Why is he feeling like this way? He thought, he doesn’t usually do this to random strangers.

“Okay, okay” the receptionist said, “It’s inside your unit. I don’t know how your admirer did it but they just did it. I was noticed by someone that it’s in your unit already” the old man smiled at him before Jinyoung bowed, bidding him a goodnight before jogging to the lift.

He punched in the digits before opening their door to the unit, Jaebum was still isn’t home since he was busy with meeting which Jackson ditched him. Jinyoung had the unit all to himself and now that he is all alone, he no longer know what to do, he was afraid to open the present which was still around the apartment, yet to be found. Just as he was about to walk to their room to search for it, he saw in his peripheral view a black velvet necklace box settled on the glass table, he guessed that was the present, the last present. He slowly walked towards it, picking it up yet couldn’t even dare to open it. He was nervous because whatever is inside sums up everything and he’d know who the admirer is? Is it a locket with the admirer’s face on it? He could never be sure.

He slowly opened the velvet box revealing a small letter with minimal words scribbled on it, he hasn’t read it yet for he was busy staring at the necklace. A necklace of gold, a 24 carat gold necklace with a cross. It was a necklace very familiar to him, he knew someone before who wore this. He thought hard while staring at the unmoving necklace, settled on the box over Jinyoung’s palm. Someone wore this before.. someone.. Suddenly he gasped, “No, this is not his” he denied, shaking his head furiously while his heart was beating furiously. “This can’t be” he breathlessly said, eyes stinging with fresh tears attempting to fall in a second. He gulped before reading the neglected letter between his fingers, it was written on a messy, manly handwriting and Jinyoung could not deny that it was Mark’s penmanship, he is positively sure of it. Slowly reading the letter, it says:
