Chapter 9

[Day 4]

"How can you wake up so early? Like every time I wake up, you're already up?", Mark asked, eyes on the road. 

Haechan leaning his head on the passenger's seat window, busy typing on his phone, took a quick glance at Mark, "Simply because I don't want to be seen unconsciously ugly.", he shrugged without even looking at Mark anymore. 

"Are you pertaining to me?", Mark asked, right hand pointing at himself while his left hand stayed on the stirring wheel. 

"I don't know, am I?", still facing on his phone. 

"You sound like it.", Mark pointed out. 

"Why, aren't you the smartest, Mr. Smartypants?", Haechan in a teasing tone. 

Mark took a quick  look at Haechan smiling at him mischievously then focused on the road, "Criticizing me became a habit of yours." 

Haechan shrugged again, still busy typing, "Well, I am always like this. It's just you're stuck with me for 7 days." 

Mark take a glance at Haechan again, "What keeps you being all busy typing? I thought we made it clear that no using of phones? I haven't even talked nor explained everything to my friends yet.", Mark asked or more like accused Haechan for not keeping their promise which by the way, Haechan, himself made at the night when they're at the beach. 

"Relax, it's just my spare phone. It has no cellular sim. I am using it as my journal since high school. This is actually my first ever cellular phone. I write everything in here. This has basically the story of my life.", Haechan explained so focused on his phone. 

"And you're telling me I'm the Mr. Emotional Stranger.", Mark said while raising his left hand again, doing quotation mark move as an emphasis.
