mark spent the next two days in jinyoung's room, learning kiss the rain with jinyoung.

on the last day of their punishment, jinyoung dragged mark into the living room where all the boys were and announced, "we're going to perform a song for you. it's called kiss the rain."

mark's eyes widened. "what?"

jinyoung pulled two chairs and plopped them in the middle of the living room.

all the members clapped and cheered wildly, except for jaebum.

mark strummed the first few chords, and then jinyoung started to sing.

as the song came to an end and mark plucked the last few notes, all the members stood up and went over to pat both jinyoung and mark on their backs.

"wow you're really good! you should join us and we'll rename ourselves 'got7'" bambam joked.

"I'm going for a walk." jaebum suddenly announced.

"now? but jyp hyungnim said-" jinyoung was cut off.

"I know what he said." jaebum said before stomping off.

"ya! where are you going?" mark asked, chasing after jaebum.

"why don't you go play the guitar with jinyoung? since you enjoy his company so much." jaebum said curtly, increasing his pace.

"are you... jealous?" mark laughed.

"pft. me? jealous? of what?" jaebum said.

jaebum doesn't stop his strident pace as they approach the entrance of the dormitory.

"ah!" mark cried.

jaebum turned back.

"are... are you ok?"

"I... I don't think so."

"what happened?" jaebum knelt beside mark, alarmed by the amount of blood that was oozing from his knees.

"my shoelace wasn't tied properly and I tripped."

"why are you so careless? if you tied your shoelaces properly then you wouldn't have tripped and you wouldn't be bleeding right now." jaebum rambled.

mark stood up, leaning majority of his body weight on jaebum and they hobbled back to their dorm.

"oh my god! what happened?" jinyoung exclaimed as the door opened.

he rushed and snatched mark from jaebum's arms, dragging him to the toilet.

he pulled out a first aid kit and began cleaning up mark's wound.

"how did this happen?" jinyoung asked as he dabbed at the bleeding wound with antiseptic.

"I tripped on my shoelaces." mark laughed.

jinyoung stood up and suddenly pulled mark into a tight hug.

"why are you so careless? take care of yourself, ok?"

mark was unable to reply, seeing jaebum's emotionless face over jinyoung's shoulder.

just as jaebum turned his heels, mark shook jinyoung off and said "jaebum ah, can you talk to me in our room for a moment?"

jaebum wordlessly walked into their room. mark entered moments later, locking the door behind him.

"about that day... the kiss..."

jaebum cut mark off,"I know you didn't mean to kiss me back. I get it."

"no," mark said firmly,"when I kissed you back, it wasn't a mistake."

"what do you mean?"

"I mean I think like you."

"you think?" jaebum cocked an eyebrow, amused.

"wait no. I don't think it. I know it."

"I like you. but are you sure you like me?" jaebum asked, still skeptical.

"yeah. I like you too." mark smiled shyly.

jaebum frowned and said,"don't say 'I like you too'. it makes me feel like you're only saying because you feel obliged."

"I like you too. I like you too. I like you too." mark teased.

"whatever." jaebum sulked.

"I like you." mark said, hooking his arms around jaebum's neck, pressing their lips together.

jaebum smiled into the kiss, and through their fumbling tongues, jaebum whispered,

"whatever."
