Save Your Tears For Another Day ?Markhyuck?||Completed

Mark missed the bus in the morning as well. He had to take Yejun to daycare since his parents never came home last night, which wasn't unusual anyway.

Mark didn't have a car so he had to walk with Yejun all the way there. It's not like it was far from his home fortunately. The only unfortunate thing was that it had started pouring and he wasn't carrying an umbrella.

His uniform was being drenched, but that didn't matter as he couldn't let his younger brother get soaked and get sick. He shook his blazer off of his upper body and wrapped it around Yejun's head as it draped over his small body. He lifted the boy up from the slippery sidewalk and continued walking to the daycare, hoping Yejun wouldn't get sick.

Once he checked his little brother into the daycare, he left to go to school and arrived a few minutes before the first period bell rang which left him enough time to grab his things from his locker.

He shut his locker and turned around as he was met with someone's body in the way, he didn't even need to look up to know exactly who it was.

"Why are you wet? You're going to get sick,"  Donghyuck said in concern, he had just been walking to his class when he noticed Mark enter the school building all soaked.

Mark didn't even say a word to the younger and just walked away from him. Luck wasn't on his side though as Donghyuck grabbed a hold of the older's arm.

"Come on. Let me take you to the nurse so you could get changed," Donghyuck said, trying to pull the older but Mark yanked his arm away, leaving the younger behind in the middle of the hallway as the crowds were starting to disappear because of classes starting soon.

Donghyuck didn't think too much on it and shrugged his shoulders. Though he couldn't help but worry for the older. Maybe he should follow him around more to figure it out.

The first few classes went by and it was already time for lunch.

"What kind of snack do you think he'd like today, junnie?" Donghyuck asked his best friend as they were waiting in line to pay for their food.

"Hmm let's see, I think the snack he'd like best would be the one he gets up and buys himself," Renjun sarcastically replied and Donghyuck puffed his cheeks. "Channie, you don't have to buy him something everyday."

"Yes, I do. I like him a lot and I know he likes me back too! This is one of my ways of showing my affection towards him," Donghyuck said in a bubbly manner, his face seeming like he fell into a trance at the thought of the older.

No matter what Renjun tries or says, the younger still won't listen to him and it's kind of starting to irritate the older as Donghyuck would used to always listen to him before, but now everything is changing and he doesn't like it one bit.

Donghyuck still doesn't seem to understand the way Mark treats him. The older saw their interaction earlier in the morning while he was going to the bathroom. He just so happened to spot them out of coincidence.

It angered Renjun the way Mark would treat his best friend as if he was nothing and meant nothing to anyone which in reality isn't true. Donghyuck means the entire world to Renjun and anyone who disagrees with him will suffer his wrath.

The older only hummed as a response as Donghyuck smiled and went to pick out a bag of chips for Mark as he paid for everything. The two walked back to the lunch table they share with Chenle and Jaemin, noticing the oldest of the two scolding the other.

"Woah woah, what's going on here?" Renjun asked as both he and Donghyuck placed their trays down onto the table.

"I caught Chenle over here trying to skip his class thing morning!" Jaemin nagged, slapping the said boy's arm.

"You were trying to do what?!" Renjun shouted and Chenle suck into his seat.

"I just wanted to see Jisung," Chenle defended himself which to his dismay, didn't work at all as now both Jaemin and Renjun were scolding at him while the younger looks at Donghyuck for help, but the tanned male shrugged with a smirk and walked away with a bag of chips in his hands that were for Mark.

Donghyuck had took his chance to get away from his lunch table while his friends were still bickering. He skipped over to Mark's table at the far corner, both Mark and Jisung seated far away from each other. He plopped down onto the bench on the other side of the table in front of Mark.

"Hi, Mark! Here, I bought this for you!" Donghyuck said as he placed the bag of chips on top of the older's tray.

Mark didn't spare the younger a glance as he continued to eat his lunch, nothing new to Donghyuck anyway. The younger noticed Mark still hasn't changed out of his wet clothes as they were now damp and wrinkly.

"I have extra clothes in my gym locker. I can lend it to you if you'd like! I don't want you to get sick," Donghyuck stated with a small pout and Mark just ignored the younger, standing up to throw his garbage away, sliding the bag of chips in his pocket before leaving the cafeteria.

Donghyuck smiled at the fact that Mark didn't throw away the snack he bought for him this time. Maybe it's his favorite one is what Donghyuck thought. He'll have to buy it for him more often then.

He stood up from the lunch table, giving Jisung a smile and was about to walk away until the younger spoke up.

"E-excuse me?" The purple haired boy called out and Donghyuck turned back around with a smile, sitting in front of Jisung.

"I-I noticed you're friends with...well I-" Jisung stumbled with his words and Donghyuck internally cooed at the younger.

"Why don't you come on over and I'll introduce you to them?" Donghyuck suggested and Jisung shyly nodded, standing up with his tray.

The tanned male led the boy to his lunch table which immediately got silent upon observing the youngest.

"Jisung, hi! I mean uh- what's your name?" Chenle blurted out, his cheeks beaming red as the others snickered at him.

"Well you already answered the million dollar question. I'm Renjun, I'm pretty sure you know my best friend Donghyuck already, that's Chenle, and that's-"

"You are so cute! Come here and let me pinch your cheeks!" Jaemin stood up from his seat, making his way over to the younger boy, using his thumb and pointer finger to squeeze his cheeks. "I'm adopting you, it's official."

"What?! Jaemin you can't do that. You already adopted me and if you adopt him, then it'll be incest because-" Chenle stopped talking as he slapped his mouth with his hand.

Chenle's whole face turned tomato red and Jisung was feeling more comfortable around the others, giggling at the rainbow haired boy which he finds extremely cute.

"Moving along here, let's finish eating," Donghyuck said as they all say back down, Jaemin pulling Jisung to sit in between him and Chenle and Donghyuck took a seat next to Renjun.

"Renjunnie~" Donghyuck sang and the older rolled his eyes. "What?"

"He didn't throw my snack away this time!" Donghyuck answered with excitement. "You know what this means?!"

Renjun shook his head. Of course he knows what the younger will say, but he doesn't know how he is going to convince Donghyuck otherwise. It's honestly killing him. Donghyuck's middle school self is still trapped in his sixteen year old body, believing everything he sees.

"He likes me back!"
