Today was it, it was the day that Mark and Jackson would get in their 'big fight', this is our last chance to fool Nakoudo and Yugyeom. We've been preparing for it all week but nothing seems to be working. On Tuesday, they immediately put the plan into action by ignoring each other. In the morning when we got to school they wouldn't even greet each other when they got to school at different times. All of us know that they never walk to school alone. At lunch, that same day they sat next to each other but their backs were turned. I took a glance at Nakoudo and Yugyeom but neither of them seemed phased, it was like they didn't even notice.

Mark and Jackson didn't give up, though, on Wednesday they wouldn't even touch each other. When Jackson came to sit down at lunch, Mark would get up to throw something away then sit back down next to someone else, it was normally me or Yugyeom. Nakoudo and Yugyeom still continued to stay silent about the whole thing but Yugyeom wouldn't stop looking at Mark.

On Thursday, I was starting to doubt this plan was getting anywhere. Nakoudo wasn't one bit worried when Jackson just got up and walked to another table when Mark came. Yugyeom seemed a little concerned. I'm sure that Nakoudo caught on first thing and Yugyeom is just worried that he's failing something, they are Matchmakers after all. The confusing thing was that none of them confronted any of us about the plan so I was getting some mixed signals about whether they believe this or not.

I didn't know how today was going to go, Jackson and Mark never told me what they planned to do, they just said that they would act like they were mad at each other, whenever someone would ask what happened, Mark and Jackson would answer with "I don't like him anymore"

We were sitting in the last period of the day, at lunch, Nakoudo showed the slightest bit of being fooled when she asked Mark what happened. Jackson didn't sit at the table anymore, he was sitting with another group somewhere. Mark didn't answer, now Nakoudo was playing with her bracelets, which means she's thinking. Yugyeom looked nervous. I was even starting to think that Mark and Jackson weren't dating anymore. Junior looked at me and mouthed 'is this part of the plan?' I shrugged, turning back to look at Mark's broken expression and Jackson's guilty one.

They couldn't be that good at acting, I've seen them before, Mark and Jackson would never be able to pull this off. Especially Jackson.

"Mark-"

"Shut up Jackson" Mark's sharp reply shocked me. Did they take acting lessons?

"Mark just listen!" Jackson stood up from his chair dramatically, normally I would be laughing but they made it look so real. I glanced at Yugyeom and Nakoudo to see if they were going to interfere. Yugyeom looked slightly worried and I saw his eyes flash red a little. Mark and Jackson keep it up, the plan is almost complete!

"Jackson I said shut up" Mark looked out the window, ignoring the other male.

"Mark it wasn't my fault!"

"Really Jackson? It wasn't your fault?" Mark finally turned to look up at his boyfriend. "Last time I checked, people don't just kiss on accident!" Damn, they almost made me want to jump in and stop them from fighting.

"I didn't kiss her!"

"Jackson when the lips of two people touch that's considered kissing!" Mark said. I ran to Nakoudo, signaling Junior to tell her. I saw Yugyeom run towards the fighting couple.

"Guys!" Yugyeom yelled, going between them and pushing them apart. Just in time.

"Nakoudo, I think you should check it out," Junior whispered.

"So that's what it is huh?" Nakoudo said with a laugh. "Yugyeom, they aren't really mad at each other. This is a plan." Nakoudo crossed her legs and I gaped at her, she had a smirk on her face. I looked back at Yugyeom, Mark, and Jackson. The 'fighting' couple was sitting down again and Yugyeom didn't look so worried anymore.

"How did you figure out?"

"I had a feeling the whole time but I was sure right when Jackson said Mark's name for the first time. They call each other by their last names when they are mad at each other and Junior a lying" I looked at Jackson, who resembled a kicked puppy. "Sorry Bam, we tried our best." He said. I frowned and sat down stubbornly in the chair. Jinyoung looked offended and Nakoudo kissed him in apology before saying it was true.

"It's okay I guess," I muttered under my breath. Nakoudo walked back to me and ruffled my hair. I shooed her away as Yugyeom came closer.

"What was this plan for?" I looked at Nakoudo so she could explain. She responded with an eye roll.

"Yugyeom, they want to know who's at the end of your string and they want me to help you get together with that person."

"But... that's impossible."

"They read online that when a Matchmaker is manipulating a string, their own string is shown and another Matchmaker can manipulate it. They were hoping you would 'fix'" She air quoted with her fingers, "their string and then I could fix yours. But I told them that it wouldn't work yet they went with it anyway." Jackson and Mark blushed in embarrassment, hiding in each other's arms, making Yugyeom laugh.

"I almost believed you guys!" Yugyeom cheered them on.

"Hey!" Jackson took his head out from Mark's arm, "You did believe us, you pushed us apart!"

"W-well..." Yugyeom trailed off.

"You can't tell when people are lying?" Nakoudo asked. I looked up at Yugyeom who blushed like mad.

"Not exactly, I can only tell if single people are lying... Once they are a couple, I believe every word they say." He looked down and muttered something that I couldn't hear. Nakoudo seemed to catch it though and smirked.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out lies soon, I'll find you, someone." She put a hand on his back for support.

"Promise"

The next day she invited all of us to her house again to play another game. This time, I knew she was trying to get Yugyeom and me to do something together, hopefully, it works. I got to her house after Junior. Figures. Youngjae and Jaebum came a few moments later with Mark and Jackson right behind them.

"Okay guys, you know what these are." She held up a cut-out heart with clear plastic in the center. I looked at it confused. Mark, Jaebum, Junior, and Youngjae were all blushing, Jackson started laughing. I looked back at Nakoudo.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Just a prop for the game, I'll tell you the rules when the game starts."

"Jaebum, what is that?" I asked. He just blushed more and shook his head. I looked to Mark for answers but he did the same, Youngjae covered his cheeks and Junior was holding his forehead in mock disappointment, I saw the little smile he had, though. I finally looked at Jackson hoping he would give me answers since he seemed really excited about it.

"It's just a little plastic thing, nothing special really, but this game is really fun." This time, Mark was the one to face-palm. Still confused, I was dragged to a different room, leaving the 4 blushing guys and an overly happy Jackson alone.

"Bambam, you want to date Yugyeom right?" She asked me once the 5 were out of sight.

"Yeah... but-" She shoved a finger to my lips, I looked at it, then back at her, raising my eyebrow.

"No buts, you know I hate giving up and I know that's what you were about to say. Just trust me, don't question anything when Yugyeom is here, and follow everything I say okay?" She took her finger away from my lips and I nodded obediently. "Good, if you do all that you two will be together today for sure." She gave me a pat on the back.

The familiar chime of the doorbell told us that it was time to start the game.

"Okay, now that Yugyeom is here, get in a line." I watched Junior go to the left, Mark moved to his right, Jackson stood next to his boyfriend then dragged me next to him, Youngjae pushed Yugyeom next to me while Jaebum was at the end. I looked at Nakoudo, she nodded and I took a deep breath, waiting to see what she would say next.

"Okay, so, what you have to do, is move these hearts," She picked up one of the plastic heart cut outs, "and move them down the line if you get more than 7 I'll let you all sleep here during summer vacation."

"That's not a good enough prize, we need something better! You would already let us stay here if we asked." Jackson said Mark nudged him for being rude.

"Fine, I'll just get you all one thing that you want." Nakoudo rolled her eyes. "Oh, and you can only use your mouths to move them" I choked on my own spit, what? Is that why Mark, Jaebum and Youngjae were blushing? And why does Jackson like this game?! And why did Junior smile?!?! I looked at Nakoudo worriedly and she mouthed 'Trust me'.

Another deep breath.

"Okay, we'll start from this side." She gave a heart to Junior "Start!"

I watched Junior place the plastic on his lips and turn to Mark, who took it easily then turned to Jackson, I was secretly wishing it would stop right there but it kept going. I watched Jackson turn to me and I took another deep breath before leaning in. I closed my eyes so I didn't see the small plastic drop to the floor. I felt lips on mine and I immediately jumped back, wiping them.

I heard Mark and Junior laughing, I looked up from the floor and Yugyeom was trying to hold in a laugh. Jaebum and Youngjae were pointing at Jackson and me, reenacting what we did. I blushed and stood up again.

"Okay, okay, try again." I heard the waver in Nakoudo's voice since she was trying to hold in her laugh.

This time, Mark and Jackson accidently kissed. The round after that, I couldn't get the paper from Jackson. Nakoudo was laughing her off and I blushed even more.

"Okay, Yugyeom, Youngjae, and Jaebum haven't even gotten a chance to do this, we're starting from this side now." She offered Jaebum a plastic heart, who just gave her a fake smile.

"Nakoudo~ You know... We don't have to do this..." Nakoudo just shook her head.

"Start!" She said, shoving the plastic onto Jaebum's mouth. Youngjae took it with a little bit of trouble and Yugyeom tilted his head down to take it then turned to me. I kept my eyes open to watch the plastic heart. Thankfully, I saw it fall to the floor and no lips connected. Nakoudo coughed and glared at me.

At first, I was confused but I understood when Jaebum took the paper again and Youngjae took it a little easier this time.

When Yugyeom turned to me, I closed my eyes to make sure I would lean in no matter what. I didn't feel lips, though, I felt plastic. I opened my eyes and took the plastic best as I could and gave it to Jackson successfully. The third plastic had the same fate. My eyes shifted towards Nakoudo again who looked like she was concentrating hard on something.

The third time, I had the plastic on my lips for a while but it flew away. I leaned forward to catch it again but I didn't catch the heart, I caught a pair of lips. I felt him about to pull away but I grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him closer, and went on the tips of my toes to press our lips even more firmly together. I heard sighs of relief while arms wrapped around me.

Finally.

I smiled and backed away, Yugyeom was still hugging me loosely and my hands were still on his chest. When I looked up at him he was biting his lip as if he wanted to say something. I tilted my head to the side confused. He just shook his head and kissed me again. I blushed and closed my eyes tightly, smiling into the small kiss, when Jackson cheered with Youngjae. I felt Yugyeom smile into the kiss too when everyone joined in.

"About, time," Yugyeom said when he pulled away
