"Good morning." he greeted sitting next to her, only for him to be ignored. That or she was too distracted to notice his presence. She was staring intensely and lovingly towards something.

He found himself tracing what or who she was looking at and as expected he saw Mark Lee. Of all people she was looking at, of course it would be him. It wasn't like he hated him, in fact they were very close. Just why him?

He decided to tap her shoulder resulting in her flinching. "Oh, Dong Hyuck," she said keeping her right hand to her heart. "When did you get here," she hesitantly smiled towards the young man. He stayed silent, while crossing his arms. His lips curled down into a light scowl of disappointment. She slumped down in shame and sighed, "I was staring again, wasn't I?"

"No, you were staring again," he replied sarcastically. She frowned at his response. "I'm sorry. Okay," she answered regaining her confidence. "Hwa-young, Mark brother will surely catch you staring at him one day," he said in a carefree tone of voice. Shaking his head after his words. "And just know that I will always, always..." he paused sitting next to her and than looking her straight in the eyes. He took her hands into his and continued.

"...be there," he said then he suddenly smiled. "To see you get caught and embarrass yourself in front of your crush."

Her lips curled down into a scowl and immediately retracted her hand from his. "How dare you? You really are the devil!" she exclaimed stomping her way out of the room. Haechan laughed seeing her reaction or maybe before she could even react he was already laughing.

"What was that all about?"

Haechan laughter subsided a bit. "Oh, Mark brother. Nothing really."

"But it looks like you made her mad. What have you done this time? You should be careful on what you say to Hwa-young. She is delicate.
," the comment brought Dong Hyuck's attention. He was a bit hesitant to speak up. Nonetheless, he found the courage to speak his mind.

"Do you perhaps like her?" he said trying to hide his worry. Mark didn't seem fazed by the question. He shook his head briefly. "No, not really. I know she's a friend of yours and all, but," he paused and a sudden frown appeared on his face.

"Look, it's not that I don't like her as a friend, but something about her, that just makes things feel off and awkward. No offense," he said his eyebrows knotted together, trying to get the right words. He couldn't though and he didn't mean any bad or hate towards the said girl. Just being around her he didn't really feel anything. Haechan gestures shown he was in deep thought and finally. "That's unlike you Mark brother."

Mark groaned. "I know that. It's just. Everytime I think of her nothing comes to mind, but Dong Hyuck's friend. I can't think of her beyond that and that's a mystery on its own."

Dong Hyuck's eyes widened in realization and it didn't go unnoticed. "What is it?" Mark asked in confusion. "We're actually having a serious conversation," the younger Lee stated. "So?"

"Usually I can't take you seriously at all Mark brother," he answered. With that being said Haechan received a glare from the the elder Lee.

"...who does not love you."





I don't know if the lyrics are 'who does not love you' or 'who no longer loves you'

I'll just go with 'does not love you'

Again, when they say 'brother' in Korean they are actually saying 'hyung'.
