    Summary

    “Do you ever wonder what it would be like, if we didn’t meet like this?” Mark asks, eyes on the yellow tinged night sky. It’s almost entirely starless; all but three half-hearted specks of light have been painted over by the city glow.

    “What do you mean?” Donghyuck asks, even though he knows perfectly well what Mark means.

    “Like, I dunno, if we met at university or something,” Mark says, “like normal people.”

    Donghyuck’s instinctual response, which rises shamefully and acidly up his throat, is yes, yes, I wonder it all the time, I wonder if, given the chance, you’d love someone else better.

    “Sometimes,” is what he says instead.

    Summary

    In his brain, it goes like this: everything Mark just said + them holding hands right now + Mark looking like he wants to jump off a plane + the out of place offense at Donghyuck not taking his offer seriously + him sitting here, with Donghyuck, not even watching the movie that was probably very loudly distracting him from completing his time-sensitive essay = the second epiphany.

    Donghyuck's eyes widen. “Oh my god. You’re totally in love with me.”

    Summary

    Donghyuck looks up and immediately feels a hysterical laugh bubble up in his throat. It’s fucking Mark Lee, ex-best friend, ex-love of his life, standing and looking at him with stupidly gentle concern. He looks good. He looks better than he did last summer, somehow. It shouldn’t be possible.

    He holds himself with that same easy, athletic grace. His blonde dye job, which Donghyuck had seen on his Instagram a few months ago, is growing out at the roots. He’s wearing a windbreaker and jean shorts, and when Donghyuck looks at the strong, built lines of Mark’s legs, he wishes the meteor would hurry it up.

    ---

    Donghyuck dreams about the end of the world, and also about Mark Lee.

    Summary

    "Hi, you've reached DNYL's Haechan. Who may I help you break up with today?"

    [ Alternatively: Mark and Donghyuck run an agency that helps people break up with their partners, but things get a little complicated after they receive a call from Mark's partner. Meanwhile, Jaemin has a ton of repressed feelings, and Jeno's trying to figure out his hoe phase. ]

    Summary

    "It’s my knee. Hurts like a bitch."

    Mark's hand slides down his thigh, rubs over his knee cap, and then gives it a light squeeze.

    Donghyuck blinks. Oh. Right.

    "Ow," he says a second too late, pained sound unconvincing to it’s last wave.

    Mark breathes out against the pillow in a dozy version of a sigh, disappointment curling into Donghyuck along with Mark's fingers now going around the back of his knee, leg being hiked higher up Mark’s hip with a tug.

    "You gonna talk to me? Or can I go back to sleep?"
