Band Aids || Mark Lee

C29

Mark gave an awkward laugh, his attempt at flirting going unnoticed as he stumbled with a few words before watching the girl in front of him give a slow nod and turn back to the plate, picking it up as she walked towards the dining room.

"Your nervous and trying to distract yourself right?" With a small smile she walked through the open door and placed the plate on the table, taking a seat next to Yuta as they began to talk.

"Well, you tried?" Mark just glared at Jaehyun who still stood with his arms around his girlfriend, who low key may have fallen back asleep, as Mark followed Taeyong through the door.

Breakfast went by all too fast, and soon the boys were gearing up to storm the newly discovered HQ. Eunbi sat on the couch with Sohye watching as the boys checked the had bullets and knives tucked into their clothes, in ears tightly fit.

"Do you get scared when Jaehyun goes out on missions?" Eunbi watched as Sohyes eyes followed Jaehyun's figure as he went about his business, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Of course I do, there's always a chance he isn't going to come back, but I trust him and the boys enough to know they aren't going to do anything dumb and get themselves killed. They do dangerous things and their dangerous people Eunbi, but they aren't complete idiots" Sohye turned to the younger girl watching as her gaze switched between members, staying on one for a little longer than anyone else.

"That's true" It wasn't long after that the boys were ready, filing out the door. It was only 127 this time, Dream and U would stay behind and wait. Jaehyun stopped to say goodbye, pulling Sohye into a hug before walking out. Mark didn't stop, but he did send a smile her way and for some reason it kind of saddened Eunbi a little. A few hours passed relatively quietly, Sohye and Eunbi sat talking about anything they could think of.

"No, I'm telling you, Piranhas are going to take over the world someday"

Their debate about piranhas was cut short when yelling began to echo throughout the house and the dreamies began to stream out of their rooms. The two girls girls followed suit, following the boys up to the third floor with a little more trouble than they had had due to that damn staircase.

It was only when Tens office door was opened did the words become comprehensible, but Eunbi wished they didn't.

"What the hell Mark stop!" Tens voice was filled with anger as he stood over his computer, watching what seemed to be a map with moving figures and heat signals.

"What's going on?" Renjun seemed concerned as he stepped forward, looking over Tens shoulder.

"Marks being a dumb ass and being reckless!"

"What?" Eunbi voice was shaking as she spoke, her eyes widening in fear as she stepped forward to get a clear view. It didn't help however, as she could tell who was who nor what the hell Mark was doing.

"No Taeyong" Ten was speaking into his mic, listening as voices streamed through his headphones. "He's bloody gone off on his own to get the guy"

"He's by himself?" Jisung seemed confused as he tried to peer at the screen, but much like Eunbi it didn't help him much.

"I know that man is dangerous that's exactly why MARK IS BEING A DUMBASS" The exaggeration of his words led to the belief that Mark was indeed still in contact, just deciding not to listen.

"Mark!" The anger in Tens voice seemed to disappear as he hurriedly typed things up on his keyboard, his panic showing through his quick movements and widened eyes. "Mark? Mark -" Ten suddenly stopped talking as he pressed a button on his head phones. "Taeyong I've got you on single, Marks gone out of the fucking radar, chucked his in ear in a ditch by 5th street"

Taeil was quick to jump out of his seat next to Ten, ushering everyone out of the door before closing the door hurriedly.

"Mark what?" Eunbi could barely keep her voice from cracking as she stared at the door. Her hands began to shake, and it didn't go unnoticed.

"It's fine, this stuff happens all the time?" Chenle s words fooled no one as they watched Eunbi shake. Sohye decided to take action, pulling the girl into her arms as she hushed her, patting the back of her head to coax her from the tears that were about to fall.

Time went by incredibly slowly. So slowly that everyone had gone back downstairs, Jeno having to carry Eunbi who was crying to much to walk herself. Everyone in the gang had been told what happens when you do dumb things alone, no matter how strong you are or how much ammo you have, doing dumb things alone gets you killed. And unfortunately, Eunbi was part of the gang, meaning she knew exactly that.

Time continued to go slowly as they all sat on the couches waiting for any news, good or bad, about the situation. Eunbis tears had eventually stopped, and now she was in a state quietness. She wasn't responding when talked too, she only seemed to be responding to the hugs Sohye gave her where would lean into the older girl. They didn't end up getting news, instead they got the door flying open to reveal a group of panting and sweaty boys.

"Can someone tell Ten we're back? Out in ears cut out like 10 minutes ago on the way back so I think he might think we're all dead" Yuta didn't seem all to thrilled by the fact they were alive, in fact he seemed rather annoyed.

"Mark?" It was the first time Eunbi had spoken since being shoved out of Tens office. It was slightly raspy, a clear give away that she had been crying and Yuta's annoyed expression quickly softened.

"Yeah, they dumbass is here, alive and well" All that had been waiting let out a large sigh before Jisung and Chenle got up to go tell Ten the news. They boys filed in, and amongst all the familiar faces there were some Eunbi didn't recognise. That thought slipped her mind however when Mark entered, his clothes drenched and his hair with blood.

"Your an asshole" Nobody has expected Eunbis words, and the shock was clear as everyone froze for a second, turning to  watch the situation play out. Eunbi took a deep breathe as Mark looked down at his feet, a sad frown forming on his lips. "But at least you're a living asshole" His eyes shot up to hers, happy to see that a smile pulled ever so slightly at the girls lips.

"I'd hug you, but you're covered in evidence" Eunbi looked him up and down once more. "And I really don't want to right now"

"Evidence is a nice euphemism for blood, gore, and guts" Mark seemed too carefree considering he was about to get his ass beaten by both Eunbi and Ten.

"You're totally missing the point here you know! Do you know how pissed I am?" Mark only smiled as the girl glared at him. He knew her anger was temporary, but he also knew that his actions were dumb and that he deserved every once of anger she felt towards him.

"Mark I swear to god I am going to murder you!" Everyone eyes suddenly darted to the staircase in which Ten was leaping down, sprinting full speed at the boy who already had one foot out the front door. "Don't you dare run away!"
