It was a gloomy, cold day.
Mark and Haechan had just gotten married only yesterday, unfortunate part is.. Haechan truly loves Mark but Mark only married him for the sake of connections and his parents business. As Haechan tried to get close to Mark, probably hug him or hold his hand, Mark pushed him away.
"You know this marriage is only a contract right? I don’t want anything to do with you, don’t touch me.”
Those words that came out of Mark’s mouth truly hurt Haechan, He then pulled away, the silence between them was deafening, Haechan just wanted some affection, but mark was always pushing him away, what should he do to make Mark genuinely happy and love him?

THE NEXT DAY
Fast forward, Haechan met up with his best friend, Huang Renjun. Someone who knew how to fix relationship problems amd relationships itself, Renjun was always by Haechan’s side since they were babies, he always protected Haechan and obviously told Haechan every gossip he knew (if he had any).
“Renjun-hyung … how do I make him love me? He’s always so distant and always in his stupid little office just staring at his laptop doing nothing! Ugh! Seriously I would’ve have refused if I knew he was gonna be like this!”
Haechan whined to Renjun like he always did, while Renjun was sipping on his tea, listening to everything Haechan was saying before responding.
“Maybe you should just.. wait a bit, maybe his true colours haven’t been revealed yet?”
Haechan scoffed,
“That is the most stupidest advice I’ve heard you say in our like 26 years of friendship! I swear everyone these days aren’t making any sense at all!”
Renjun rolled his eyes,
“Jeez hae, take a chill pill. How about, hmm..”
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Renjun’s head
“OMG OMG I KNOW!! How about, you start ignoring him?-”
Haechan suddenly interrupted Renjun
“WOAH WOAH WOAH- IN WHAT WAY WOULD THAT MAKE SENSE?”
Renjun chuckled before continuing
“Hear me out, if you start ignoring him after everything, he’ll start like mourning you clinging to him and he might start clinging to you instead! Easy peasy!”
Haechan thought about Renjun’s idea before nodding
“Wait yeah that is a good idea! You’re a genius! Thank you thank you!!!!!”
Haechan said before giving Renjun the tightest hug ever, Renjun hugged Haechan back even he felt like he was being squished to the brim.

As the months passed by, Haechan noticed that Mark started to do acts of kindness to Haechan, and sometimes even giving Haechan kisses or hugs before work, and that was when Haechan knew that..
He had won Mark’s love by literally ignoring him, maybe Renjun was THAT good at his ‘job’.

As time went by, Mark and Haechan lived a happy life,
until, one day, Haechan unfortunately got in a car accident and he was in a deep coma and when Mark heard the news? He was devastated and couldn’t leave Haechan’s side even after several doctors and nurses told him to go home since visiting hours were over. But Mark couldn’t leave Haechan’s side, not even to go the bathroom or go to the cafeteria to buy something for himself.
Mark was devastated, he never wanted their marriage to end like this, or so he thought.
He came to visit Haechan everyday, even if he had anything important at work, he would just leave it and visit Haechan.
And whenever he did visit Haechan, he would always give Haechan a kiss on the cheek or lip, hoping that Haechan would feel his kisses even if he was unconscious, he was truly just a man in love underneath his cold and reserved personality.
Mark waited everyday for Haechan to wake up, every second, every minute, he waited patiently like a normal husband would waiting for their wife to get back home. But this time, he wasn’t waiting Haechan to get back home from the grocery store or anything, he was waiting for the love of his life to wake up, to meet his eyes, to give him a kiss everyday before work, to hear his cute giggle and see his beautiful smile again and again.
But no, he couldn’t.
He had to go home everyday, worrying about Haechan’s health instead of actually seeing him on the couch as usual, watching some random kdrama and either crying or laughing at it.
He felt like a madman when the doctors told him Haechan’s condition worsened and he probably wouldn’t wake up, but Mark? He was a determined man, he was sure that Haechan would wake up no matter what.
After all, Haechan was always gonna be strong for Mark, right..?
