"Great, then I actually can't wait to be one of the bridesmaids at your wedding," Juhee joked.

"I'm gonna be a groomsman right Mark?" Donghyuck asked.

"Yo, can we not talk about marriage?" Mark despaired. "I don't even know if that's in the books for me."

"What are you talking about?" Juhee frowned.

"I'm not sure how to explain it," Mark shrugged. "But with my career, things like marriage really do feel almost impossible."

"Key word being almost!" Juhee replied. "You'll be fine Mark, I'm sure you'll have more control over your schedules in a few years, and if your fans really love you, they'll be supportive of whatever you want in life."

"Wow, thanks Juhee," Mark smiled, warming up to her more now. "You're sweet."

"No she isn't," Donghyuck wrinkled his nose, and Mark gave him a confused look. "Earlier when I asked her if I'm the hottest person she's ever seen... she said no. Can you believe her?"

"Yes," Mark chuckled and Juhee smiled at Donghyuck triumphantly. "I definitely can."

"Damn, why are both of you against me today?" Donghyuck sighed dramatically.

Just then, Mark felt his phone buzz in his pocket, so he took it out to see notifications from Dasom.

yourplatinum: woueld u shake ass to spanisg music w me if yuo werre at this cluub too ?

Looking at the time on his phone, Mark saw that it was only 10:30 pm. How did Dasom manage to get that drunk so quickly?

He was about to text her back when Juhee spoke first.

"Yo! Do you want me to take pictures of you two together?" she offered. "I'm sure you wanna remember this."

"Yes! Anything to keep Mark of his phone," Donghyuck nodded, dragging Mark closer to the edge so Juhee could take photos of them.

Mark went along with whatever dumb poses Donghyuck wanted to do with him, including back hugs and making hearts at the camera.

"Mahae lowkey cuter than Marksom, not gonna lie," Juhee laughed, lowering her phone.

"Obviously, any couple with me is always gonna be cuter," Donghyuck grinned, and Mark just rolled his eyes though he was also smiling.

Juhee took a few more photos of them until Mark stopped her. She stepped towards them and scrolled through the photos she'd taken so they could get Donghyuck's approval.

"Okay, they're all good!" Donghyuck declared, and then he pulled Juhee by the arm to stand between him and Mark. "You gotta get in the pictures too."

"Oh my god," Juhee whispered as Donghyuck took the phone from her hand to take selfies of the three of them. If she wasn't wearing a mask, Mark was sure they would have been able to see how red her face turned as she posed with them for the photos.

"I'm starting to get in my photographer era," Donghyuck said, stepping away from them. "Juhee pose, you gotta get solo photos up here."

Since Donghyuck and Juhee were distracted, Mark took the opportunity to go call Dasom. He wasn't sure if she'd hear her phone if she was at a club, but he still decided to try.

After many rings, Mark heard faint music that told him Dasom had actually answered.

"Desi? You there?" Mark asked.
