"Yo, Lee! Whats this about Yiren I hear?"
                          
"For a second I thought you were talking to Dongmin."
                          
"Of course not, he's not the one going out with a pretty girl." 
                          
"Yeah he is though? Is Kim Dahyun not pretty?" (pls i dont ship them i just thought that the rumors were hilarious) 
                          
"Well yeah, but she's not on the cheerleading team, and her name is definitely not Yiren." 
                          
"Whatever you heard was most likely true. Now leave me alone."
                          
"Woah, someone's not in the mood."

No, he definitely wasn't. He hadn't gotten the chance to see Mark all day. They both had trainings early in the morning, and then Mark had to run laps during lunch. Then, his mom had called him home early, so he and Haechan couldn't hang out after the younger boys practice. He didn't know how much longer he could go without being able to hug and kiss Mark. 
                          
When he got home, his sister kept pestering about, "When is Mark oppa coming? He always plays with us! Maybe he should be our big brother since you're never home! He's always here, even when you're not." So he was pretty annoyed at home, too. 
                          
Then his mom began annoying him about how he never does his laundry and how he needs to be home more, so it just made his headache worse. Then his dad came home for the first time in a week, and made him clean the house at 9:00 at night. 
                          
So when it was 9:30, he was ready to just pass out for the rest of the night. That was, until he got a call from Mark. He was about to ignore it, thinking that it was Renjun asking him for feedback on a drawing, but when he saw Mark's name, he picked the phone up right away. 
                          
"Were you busy?"
                          
"No, Markie. Whats up?"
                          
"Got into a bad argument with my parents. Can I come over?"
                          
"Of course, I'll come get you."
                          
"Alright, I'll meet you at the park?"
                          
"Yeah."
                          
Haechan probably looked stupid. He was walking down the street in the middle of the night, on only a baggy shirt and sweatpants. He didn't even pull a jacket on before he left. 
                          
When he got to the park, he saw Mark sitting on one of the swings. He went over and pulled the older boy into a hug before grabbing his hand and walking back to his house. 
                          
"Mark oppa! I got some new dolls, lets play!"
                          
"Markie is tired, okay? You guys can play tomorrow, alright?"
