Jinyoung stops cleaning the dishes, freezing on the spot.
"He'd be more than happy to take you out, he loves you a lot you know?"

Mark slips down the counter, a soft expression on his face.
"You're allowed to fall in love again, Jinyoung-ah," Mark says gently, fingers curling around the younger's forearm.
"I-i can't. You know that I can't hyung, I love you." Jinyoung whispers, eyes stinging a little and grips the edge of the sink hard.
The older sighs before reaching up and pressing a delicate kiss on Jinyoung's cheek.
"I loved you too,"
"Hyung," Jinyoung starts, tears free falling down his cheeks but Mark is already gone, fading into thin air like he always did.

"Please don't leave me"
