Mark's POV~

I've always admired Xiumin hyung ever since I laid eyes on him for the first time. He was always so kind and encouraging towards me. He cared for me like an older brother for years. When we first met, I was shy because he was so popular, being an EXO member and all, so I felt intimidated, but the more we talked and spent time together, the more comfortable I felt. And to tell the truth, I may have developed feelings for him. Feelings that are more than just brotherly love. Every time he smiles at me, I feel my heart sink deep into my chest. Whenever he's around me, it's hard to focus on anything else because I know he's watching me and I get nercous around him when I'm rapping or dancing. I didn't know what this feeling was until recently. I was coming into the SM building with Taeyong and I saw Xiumin hyung and Chen hyung hugging. The worst part was, I couldn't tell if it was a friendship hug or a lover hug. I suddenly felt my entire mood come crashing down. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach with fists of steel. I could feel tears swelling up in my eyes as well. I didn't even realize Taeyong had been trying to get my attention, but then he quickly shouted a loud hello to Xiumin and Chen, causing them to look over and smile. Crap they're coming over here...I thought to myself.I had to find an excuse to escape but it was already too late. 

"Hi Mark!" Xiumin beamed as he stood in front of me. I kept my head low, trying to avoid eye contact because I knew I was on the verge of busting into tears.

"Hey I'm here too hyung!" Taeyong whined. Chen chuckled and ruffled his hair as Xiumin smiled and waved, then focused his attention back on me.

"Mark?" he said again, studying my face intensely.

"H-Hi hyung," I said quietly, my voice shaky and weak. Xiumin hyung knew me well and instantly knew something was wrong. His grin quickly changed into an expression of worry. Chen and Taeyong were busy holding the conversation, basically telling them what we've been up to and vice versa. When Chen said that he and Xiumin had been hanging out a lot and even used the word "date," something snapped in me and I couldn't bare to hear any of the details.

"I have to go," I said quickly and my feet carried me away as I barely finished my sentence. Taeyong raised an eyebrow and shrugged then continued the convo with Chen. Xiumin's eyes followed me as I scurried away.

"I'll be right back," he told the other two as he jogged to catch up with me. I was turning down a vacant hallway when i felt a hand on my shoulder. Xiumin hyung turned me around and gasped in shock at the sight of my tears.

"Sweetheart...what's wrong?" he asked as he pulled me into a tight hug. The feeling of his arms around me sent chills and butterflies throughout my body. He felt so warm and loving...I couldn't help but cry against his chest. It just hurt so much knowing that I can't have him...not only because of his relationship with Chen, but because of our as well.

"Why are you crying, sweetie?" Xiumin asked in a soft soothing tone as he ruffled my hair. I sniffed a bit before I was ready to get my words out.

"C-Chen hyung said you went on a date," I said in an unintentional whiny voice.

"Aww honey, it wasn't a real date, it was just a bro-date type thing," Xiumin replied. I looked up at Xiumin hyung with my glassy eyes and red nose.

"R-Really? You mean there's nothing romantic between you and Chen hyung?" Xiumin chuckled a bit and kissed my forehead.

"Nope, I'm very much single," he replied. I don't know why I felt a jolt of happiness from those words. I smiled and happily snuggled my head against his chest.

"Why all the sudden interest in my love life, Mark?" Xiumin asked as he tilted his head in slight confusion. I took a couple moments to get my thoughts together. I was jealous. Completely jealous. And not only that but I was pretty positive right then and there that I was in love with Xiumin hyung. But it's not like I would come out and say that directly to him...no way! I was just too scared and nervous for that.

"I...I just really miss you hyung...and I wish I could spend more time with you. Chen hyung is so lucky," I said with a pout. Xiumin grinned and he kissed both of my cheeks softly, causing me to blush.

"Hm...well how about we both take off a few days and fly out to Jeju on a little mini vacation. Just the two of us?" he said as he cupped my cheeks, wiping away my lingering tears with his thumbs. My eyes widened with joy as I smiled widely.

"You mean it hyung??? For real???" He smiled and nodded.

"Of course! I hate seeing my favorite dongsaeng cry, and I would love to spend more time with you also." I couldn't help but blush when he rubbed our foreheads together. My heart was thumping hard inside my chest and I'm sure Xiumin hyung could feel it too.

"I'll make all of the reservations and call you when they're ready. In the meantime, you go and pack a little suitcase, alright?" said hyung. I nodded happily and squeezed him tight, causing him to chuckle again. "Alright sweetheart, I'll see you later," Xiumin said as he kissed my forehead one more time. We then separated and waved goodbye to eachother.
