“Jaemin!” The first thing Jaemin sees when the door opens is his best friend's smiling face as he pulls him into a hug. “Dude, I’m so glad you could make it,” Jeno grins as he pulls back and starts to lead Jaemin into the house, pass the bodies of people. Jaemin’s pretty sure he says something after that, but he’s barely paying attention as his eyes roam the room for a certain someone. When his eyes land on soft brown ones with cute round glasses over them, he smirks. Found him.
“Yeah, that’s nice Jen. I’m going to grab a drink,” Jaemin says, eyes still on Mark who has noticed the younger boy’s stare. Jaemin feels a sense of pride when he sees the blush spread on Mark’s cheek as he breaks eye contact with Jaemin.
Jeno groans when he follows Jaemin’s line of sight to see him looking at his older brother like some kind of dessert. “Gross, stop looking at my brother like that,” Jeno smacks the back of Jaemin’s head, but the boy barely reacts, too busy watching the way mark shuffles awkwardly as he takes a peek to see if Jaemin’s still looking, only to look away fast when he sees Jaemin still is.
“Yeah I’ll grab you a um-” Jaemin smirks when he sees Mark excuse himself to go to the backyard, probably to cool his red cheeks that are still on fire. “A water or whatever,” Jaemin mumbles as he heads in the direction Mark just disappeared to.
“That’s not where my kitchen is!”
“An orange soda? Got it!” Jaemin fails to see the finger Jeno gives him, but it doesn’t matter when he goes out the back door to find Mark Lee standing in all his hotness as he rubs his flaming cheeks.
“Mark!” Jaemin shouts, grinning at the way the older boy jumps and turns around.
“O-Oh hey dude. I didn’t know you were here,” Mark gives him that cute awkward laugh that Jaemin adores. What Mark said was a very obvious lie since their eyes were locked the moment Jaemin stepped foot in his house. Jaemin goes with it anyways, an easy smirk falling back onto his face.
“Yeah, just got here,” Jaemin stuffs his hands in his pocket and slowly walks to Mark’s side. “I was supposed to get Jeno a water,” at least he thinks that’s what Jeno wanted, “But-” Jaemin’s eyes light up, a hint of mischief in them as he wraps his arms around Mark’s waist from behind and rests his chin on his shoulder. “I missed you,” he pouts. Jaemin bites back a smile as he watches Mark’s cheeks somehow heat up even more. Cute .
“Haha, did you?” Mark’s high pitched voice says.
“Mhm,” Jaemin says, hugging him even tighter. Jaemin giggles when he sees Mark completely shut down, brain never able to process when Jaemin gets all touchy and needy. “I’m always missing you,” he whispers in Mark’s ear, enjoying the way Mark shudders. Before Mark can say anything, Jaemin’s already releasing him and heading back into the house. “I’ll come get you before midnight, ok?” Jaemin winks, enjoying the way Mark’s brain finally catches up to what happened.
He sends Jaemin a pout. “Really?”
Jaemin nods his head and blows Mark a kiss, a little sneak peek to his plan for the night, and goes to the kitchen so he can get Jeno his drink.

“Here,” Jaemin’s chirpy voice says as he hands Jeno some grape soda he found in the kitchen.
Jeno looks at it blankly, sighs, and then walks away without even grabbing it, which Jaemin finds very rude.
“I thought you wanted grape?” Jaemin shouts at his retreating back and this time he’s able to see the finger Jeno throws at him. How rude. All thoughts of Jeno leave his mind however, when his phone lights up and he sees he got a text message from a cutie that’s probably still outside, waiting for his heart to calm down.
💖Baby💖💕💞
Jaemin :(
What is it baby? :(
Jaemin enjoys the sight of the bubbles appearing, letting Jaemin know Mark’s typing, only for them to disappear for a few moments and then come back and then disappear again.
💖Baby💖💕💞
promise you’ll find me before midnight?
promise (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )

Jaemin found it amusing the way he felt Mark’s eyes on him as he was going around socializing with all the people he knew. If he had a choice, he would be dragging Mark out of this house and to a quiet place where they can finally talk and then share their first kiss. But of course the moment he tries to do that, he gets pulled into another conversation with a classmate he only briefly remembers being partners with in his Biology class. But it’s kind of worth it to see the puppy eyes Mark keeps sending him from across the room, but then not so worth it when it’s getting closer and closer to midnight and he really wants his first kiss to be with Mark, on the first day of the year, but he keeps being dragged farther and farther away from him
He looks up just in time to see Mark walking up the stairs to his room. There’s his chance. He sends an apologetic smile to the person he was talking to, excusing himself to use the bathroom, but as soon as he’s upstairs, he’s quietly turning the knob to Mark’s room. He shuts the door softly and turns to see Mark rummaging through his bag for something.
Jaemin smirks as he makes his way to Mark, being as quiet as possible to not alert the older boy to his presence. As soon as he’s close enough, he pounces.
He wraps his hands around Mark’s waist, his favorite spot to hold him, and sends them crashing into the bed. He laughs as he watches Mark’s panicked eyes soften when he sees it’s Jaemin who’s currently wrapped around his body. Mark sighs as his head falls back on the bed, cheeks red.
“Dude, you scared me.”
“What? Worried I was some thief here to steal your things?” Jaemin gives him a wicked grin.
Mark rolls his eyes. “No.”
Jaemin hums as he rolls over so he’s laying on top of Mark. “Well you should have been worried.”
Mark gives him an amused look. “And why is that?”
“Because,” Jaemin says as he plays with Mark’s hair. “I’m actually here to steal your heart.”
“Oh my god,” Mark groans as he rubs a hand over his face.
“Hey!” Jaemin yells as he slaps his chest. “I’m being serious.”
Mark smiles when he lowers his hand. “I know you are, but you don’t have to steal something you already have.” As soon as Mark says it he blushes and covers his face, embarrassed at what just came out of his mouth, and Jaemin doesn’t help.
Jaemin coos as he grabs Mark’s wrists and moves them away from his face. “Look at my Markie being such a flirt!”
“Stop it,” Mark whines, but actually does nothing to stop him.
They hear a knock on the door and then Jeno’s voice. “Mark, did you get the charger? My phone is almost dead.”
Mark opens his mouth to respond, but Jaemin beats him to it.
“Mark’s kind of busy right now, Jeno!”
Mark looks at him, eyes wide, and goes to say something else, but Jaemin covers his mouth. He laughs when he hears Jeno’s groan from the other side of the door.
“Jaemin, what the fuck?! I invited you over to hang with me, not sneak away with my brother!”
Jaemin ignores him. “I think my charger is still in your room, unless you want to come in and get Mark’s, but I can’t promise we’re fully clothed!” Jaemin has trouble holding in the laughter as he hears the sound of Jeno running away from the door as fast as possible, he’s pretty sure he heard him trip.
Mark rips Jaemin’s hand away from his mouth. “Jaemin?! What was that for?” Jaemin can’t help himself and bursts into a fit of laughter. “Jeno, he’s kidding!” Mark yells, but they both know Jeno’s long gone.
“I’m sorry,” Jaemin says once his laughter calms down. “Are you mad at me?” Jaemin asks softly.
Mark’s hand rests on Jaemin’s cheek and the younger boy feels himself instinctively lean into the touch. “Me? Never. Jeno on the other hand might be.” They both crack a smile at that. Mark hums as his thumb rubs gentle circles on his cheek. “But, you could make it up to me.”
“And how would I do that, Markie?”
“You could finally give me that kiss I’ve been wanting,” Mark smiles shyly, but manages to keep eye contact.
Jaemin leans in closer. “Yeah? You’ve been wanting to kiss me?”
“Don’t act like you couldn’t tell.”
Jaemin smirks, “I could, but I still want to hear you say it again.”
They can hear everyone start counting from downstairs.

“You want me to tell you I've been wanting to kiss you ever since Jeno introduced me to you?” Mark whispers as he leans in even closer.

“Yes,” Jaemin grins. “Crazy coincidence because that’s exactly how I felt.”
