Hua
Hi, do you have time to talk right now?
Yeah sure what's up
So basically I know you don't see me as a close friend but I was quite upset when I saw your modelling pictures online and in stores so I waited a few days in case you told me but you never did
I just think it's kind of idk
I think you could have told me? It's a big thing and it's quite upsetting that you don't think it's important enough for me to know
Hua I'm really sorry, I didn't tell that many people honestly like I'm sorry if you feel that way but it wasn't my intention to just purposely not tell you
Well clearly you told the others
Except me
I told Hyunjae because I live with her and then it was brought up in conversation when you weren't there because you declined plans with us that day
Yeah well I declined because of you
What?
You clearly don't want me to hang around you all
When have I ever said that
You never tell me stuff
Not even your modelling AFTER the pictures came out
And you always try to argue with me when I talk about my idols
I don't argue with you
You tell me how I shouldn't talk about them like this or do this or that
I don't understand why you hate me so much
I tell you not to sexualise and dehumanise them
Is that wrong?
Yes because I never do that
I fangirl over my idols what's so wrong with that Yeonhee
You're acting like you never fangirl over Nct or anyone for that matter
I never said you can't fangirl over them why are you putting words in my mouth
You were talking about how it's good Jisung is an adult now and then proceeded to bring up his body and how much you would love to "get with him"
Lmaooo wouldn't you want to get with your idols
Are you hearing yourself right now
Jisung just turned an adult and you're two years older than him too don't you think this is inappropriate
Why are you babying him
Omfg when have I ever babied him
You're so ugh
You know you actually irritate me sometimes
Well I'm glad we agree on something then because you irritate me too babe
Wowww I've done nothing to you
Neither have I
You know what Yeonhee
You act like you're better than the rest of the group
Like you're not that special
I hate girls like you, put others down because you're insecure
Lmaoooo insecure where
When the fuck have I ever put others down
I don't act like I'm better than the rest
You're delusional for wanting to become NCTs makeup artist
And delusional for hating girl groups and putting them down for being in the same vicinity as them
I'm allowed to have my own opinions and not like people
Yeah okay have your own opinions but I think you really need to reevaluate yourself
You're 21 you're not a child
You don't own idols
You have no right to sexualise or dehumanise them because they're celebrities
They're humans Hua get that into your head is it THAT hard to believe
You know frankly enough I don't want to associate myself with someone who treats people like this
Fine you bitch
See how I care
After all the rest of them like me better than you
Yeah ok whatever
They do
Trust me Yeonhee you're better off just hanging around Eunhye and Mei-Yin
How do you know about them
I do biology with them
You're all the same
Acting like NCT's saviours
You guys are the delusional ones
Seen
You ruin our group, you may live with Hyunjae but I bet she feels suffocated by you
Same with Wooyung all you do is flirt with him then insult him
And Haruki defends me and how I feel and you have the audacity to tell him I'm the one overreacting because I'm 'delusional' Haruki is just trying to make me feel included into the group whereas you're trying to kick me out
So have you ever thought about how they feel around you
You know, just because you've never been loved in your life by anyone even your parents doesn't mean you treat people this way
Your personality isn't cute, making fun of people and shit you're just projecting your insecurities and feeling unloved onto others
It's really low of you and you're just being immature
THE ELITES
I'm so fucking angry right now
Look what Hua said
I don't think I've ever been THIS angry
Attachments sent
Hyunjae: what the fuck
what
WHAT
WHAT A BITCH IS SHE BEING FR
NAHHHH KSKDKDRKFKK WHAT THE HELL
ILL BEAT HER UP STFGFFFGGFO
Wooyung: IM ANGRY NOW
WHATS HER ISSUE
OMFG
WE FLIRT JOKINGLY
AND BULLY EACH OTHER OUT OF LOVE
SHES DELUSIONAL AS HELL
Hyunjae: I ain't even talking to her no more
Where's Haruki
Wooyung: he smashed his phone yesterday
Gonna get it fixed tomorrow I think or day after
But Hua is
Wow
I can't believe her
Hyunjae: Yeonhee bro don't even listen to her she's irritating as hell
Why were we still friends with her after so long
Wooyung: honestly Idek
I don't need that negativity in my life
Hyunjae:
☾
Due to the upcoming album that was being released in six days, the interactions between Yeonhee and Mark over the past two weeks were ceasing to barely anything.
By the time the boy had replied through his exhaustion, the conversation had lost its spark and relevance. Resulting in either one of them leaving the other on read, it was a tough situation but Yeonhee knew he was busy and couldn't blame him.
The girl had just bid Eunhye and Mei-Yin goodbye after spending some time with them both, a heaved sigh leaving her lips as she glanced at her watch.
Yeonhee had promised to take over Jihoon's shift, it only being an hour so she concluded it wouldn't be too bad.
When she entered however, it was crazy busy which only caused her exhaustion to grow further. A pounding headache beginning to form as she continued to serve and take orders.
After two hours of this continuing, the older boy burst through the doors- met by a glare from Yeonhee who was wiping down the counter.
"You said an hour." She deadpanned.
"Sorry, sorry! I got caught up in stuff, I was picking out a ring for Iseul."
A gasp left Yeonhee's lips, irritation ceasing as her eyes widened.
"You're proposing?" She exclaimed and Jihoon grinned with a nod.
"Since when? Oh my god- wait for real?"
"Yep." Jihoon quipped, walking around the counter to where she was as he tied an apron around himself. "Thinking of doing it in a few weeks, need to set something up."
"I'm so happy for you!" She exclaimed, pulling into into a hug as her smile widened. "I can't believe this, you two are literally made for each other."
"I'm so nervous though." He confessed, pulling away as he sighed. "Do you think it's too early?"
"You've been together since you were 15, you've talked about marriage with her a lot too but if it feels right then it's right."
Jihoon nodded, sighing to calm his nerves.
"You're right- I'll take over here thanks for covering me."
"No problem." Yeonhee replied back, patting the boy on the back as she walked off towards the staff room as she untied her apron- pushing through the doors and hanging the apron up.
Sighing, she slumped back on the sofa as her head leaned back eyes closed. Enjoying her blissful rest, it was cut short by the ringing of her phone.
Not even opening her eyes, she felt around for her phone and tapped the bottom corner- bringing the device to her ear.
"Hello?" She murmured out, feeling the tiredness deep over her.
"Hey."
There was a second of silence as his voice registered in her mind, eyes shooting open as she pulled her phone away from her ear to look at the caller name before sitting up straighter.
"Oh- hey, what's up?" She asked, the tightening of her stomach paired with her sudden faint butterflies that she desperately wanted to stop.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing, we haven't spoken much lately."
"I'm good, how are you? It's alright Marker, I know you're busy with your comeback prep."
"Yeah I'm good, these past weeks have been the death of me but like um...uh like do you," he paused.
Yeonhee was silent on the other end, waiting for him to continue.
"I mean like my schedules for today were cleared so I was wondering if you wanted to uh hang out like- oh dudeee I didn't even ask if you were busy." He laughed, clearly nervous.
"Of course I want to hang out. Who wouldn't wanna hang with Mark Lee? Where though?" She inquired and he hummed.
"I didn't think that far." He confessed to which Yeonhee laughed at.
A yawn escaped her lips as she blinked away her tiredness, glancing at the clock.
"I take it you can't go out in public with me."
"Nope haha, unless you want to be followed by people."
"Hm, I'll pass." She quipped. "I mean you could always come chill with me at the cafe? I am pretty bored here right now. I would go home but I spent too much time there."
"The cafe? Isn't it busy though?"
"You can come in through the back, you know the outside area has a little door that's always locked but I'll unlock it for you."
Yeonhee glanced to the window outside where both of them spent time kicking the football back and forth, the brick walls around it had one door that acted as a fire escape that was rarely used.
"Alright I'll uh let you know when I'm here- you sound a bit tired though are you alright?"
She hummed.
"I'm alright don't worry Markle."
"...okay if you're sure, I'll see you soon."
"Alrighttt." She replied, the conversation ceasing as she sat there slumped before springing up.
"Oh shit, I look like a mess." She muttered, glancing down at her sweatpants which she adjusted to pull up higher on her hips adjusting the black T-shirt tucked into it and tying the drawstrings to her sweatpants tighter.
"Great." She muttered, taking her hair down from its place clipped up messily to cascade down her back- raking her fingers through the stands to allow it to fall naturally.
Yeonhee was glad she had worn a bit of makeup today to conceal the bags under her eyes and mascara to make her look more awake.
To pass her time, she began to reply back to her messages from her friends mainly Wooyung who was ranting about Hyunjae being half an hour late to help him with his uni work.
She laughed at the remark he made, rolling her eyes as she began typing back and sent it as a notification from Mark popped up informing her he was nearby.
Getting up to her feet, she walked outside and towards the end of the outside area where she inserted the key, twisting it to unlock and opening the heavy door.
Just as she opened the door, a sleek black car pulled up to which she guessed was Mark, her eyes flickering over to the driver who stared at her.
Feeling awkward under his scrutiny, she decided to smile.
Fortunately, the car door slid open to reveal the boy with his hoodie on- hood over his head and white mask concealing his features.
He glanced down the streets before turning his head straight ahead to see the girl stood by the door inside the vicinity.
A smile grazed his lips, unknown to the girl due to his mask hiding his lower half of his face- reaching the girl as the car began to drive off.
"Hey." He greeted, standing in the doorway as she squinted up at him- nose scrunched up as her sight was attacked by the harsh rays of sun.
"Hey- damn the sun is strong." She muttered as he laughed at her before she narrowed her eyes at him, reaching out as her fingers clasped over the material of his hoodie on his upper arm to pull him towards her.
"Someone is gonna see you idiot." She tsked, shaking her head as his upper arm brushed again her shoulder when she reached over to shut the door behind him and locking it.
Mark cleared his throat, shaking off the feeling as he turned around- tugging his mask off and pushing down his hood.
When Yeonhee spun around to face him he was holding up a white plastic bag.
She raised a brow at him in confusion to which he spoke.
"I brought food."
Judging by her shocked expression, she wasn't expecting him to do so as she stared up at him.
"Mark..." she trailed off in shock. "This must be fate, I could cry right now."
"Dude why?" His own expression conforming to a slightly concerned one.
"Cuz I'm so hungry right now and you brought food." She placed a hand on her chest. "Not gonna lie I was about to order food."
"Oii, we must be telepathic then. I was out buying food for myself then like I realised we haven't spoke properly so I wanted to see if you were down to hang out." He explained, following her inside.
"How's the preparation going anyways?" She asked, the cooler air of the room drifting over them both.
"Yeah it's good, it's been so busy though." He spoke, putting the bag down on the round table as the girl went to grab plates and cutlery.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Yeah any soda will do."
"Soda." She repeated, copying his accent while grabbing two drinks from the fridge.
"Yo, I don't even speak like that!"
"Yo, you do." She copied the accent once more and Mark laughed at her attempt, shaking his head.
"I think that's worse than my British one."
"Nah that's actually offensive." She feigned hurt, sending him a dirty look.
Yeonhee stood besides Mark, leaning over to look into the bag full of food- her stomach yearning for it just by the smell.
"I think you're officially my favourite person. Food is my life." She stated as he began to pull the items out.
"Dang really? Your favourite person, wow."
"Alright don't get too excited now, I can still replace you."
"Yo what, that's kinda rude you know." Mark replied to which the girl just gave him a forced grin.
"Wait though, this looks so good. It's like you knew what food I like- hold up you stalking me or something?" She paused, asking him the question.
"Yo...how did you know?" He joked back and the girl gasped.
"I knew it, now is my chance to sue you and get rich."
"Oh come on man, don't be ditching me for some money."
"That's life Markie, ditch your bitches and get rich."
Mark was midway through eat when her comment made him unexpectedly laugh, coughing on his food as she pursed her lips together at the sight- leaning forward to pat his back.
"You okay?" She asked, holding back her laughter as he nodded.
"I don't know what I was expecting from you but it wasn't that. Actually..." he trailed off. "Seeing as it was to do with money."
"Shut up, you know I'm broke." She pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. "It's such a sad life."
"Money can't buy happiness bro food can though."
"How am I meant to get food with no money Mark? Yeah that's what I thought."
The two of them continued to eat, indulging in light hearted conversations filled with laughter and jokes.
A few hours had passed, both of them on the comfortable sofa Yeonhee laid across it with her feet inches away from touching Mark's thigh as he sat watching the tv.
"Why do you even like Kdramas, they're all so predictable." He voiced and Yeonhee tore her eyes from the screen over to him.
"Some kdramas are so good though." She reasoned. "I might start Vincenzo- apparently it's like a Mafia one."
"Mafia? Are you into like crime and stuff." He asked, looking over at her. Her elbow was resting on the arm rest, head leaning in her open palm then she raised her eyebrows at him.
"Why do you sound so surprised?"
"Just," he shrugged. "I don't know, thought you'd be into those romance kdramas or something- that's what girls watch...well not all but yeah."
"Come on Mark are you generalising girls?"
"No!" He exclaimed, shaking his head. "Dude I mean like the girls I know."
"Ooh, girls you know?" She sent him a sly suggestive look to which he sighed, muttering a quiet 'not like that'.
"You must be popular with the ladies huh?" She teased, watching as he shifted in his seat.
"Dude," he stated, shaking his head. "Not really."
"Oh come on, you have so many fans in love with you."
"I thought you meant like besides from fans."
"You're still probably popular with the girls though, who can deny Mark Lee's charms I mean that video of you attempting to flirt was just- wow." She clapped her hands and Mark couldn't help but laugh- pushing his head into his hands.
"No don't remind me please." He groaned in embarrassment as Yeonhee laughed, tipping her head back.
"Nah it's fine you're cute."
Mark turned his head towards her, his face scrunching up.
"Yo what you doing dude, cute?" He repeated in disgust.
Yeonhee rolled her eyes, grabbing the pillow and throwing it at him to which he swiftly grabbed.
"How many times are you gonna deny it?"
"Bro you're the one who keeps saying it." He replied defensively, placing the pillow besides him as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Attacking someone with a pillow is rude you know?" He commented and Yeonhee shrugged.
"Unless you want me to attack you with my fists?" She held up her fists with her eyebrows raised.
Both Yeonhee and Mark stared at each other, the air silent except the droning on of the drama playing. However the situation was too funny to them as they burst out laughing, her sitting up with her legs on the sofa out in front of her.
"You tried so hard to look scary." He managed out in between his relentless laughing, smacking his leg to which the girl pushed him with her hand against his upper arm.
"Shut up." She groaned, shoving her face into the pillow clutched to her chest. "You ruined my seriousness. I was really connecting with my inner actress you know?"
"Yo I think you need to work on those acting skills I can't lie."
At his words, Yeonhee lifted her head from the pillow with a glare.
"Don't make me write another diss track on you Minhyung."
"Yasmine dude you can't do that, what happened to YM2trappy?"
Yeonhee's mouth fell agape in disbelief.
"Nah not the English name, how could you do this to me- ooh wanna eat some brownies?"
"Brownies?" His head perked up, glancing over at the counter where an unopened packet of brownies sat. "Sweet! You know I actually like brownies."
"Really? Okay but do you prefer waffles or pancakes?"
The two of them continued on like this, enjoying each other's presences without a care in the world- that's how it has been and always will be...right?

The two hours of their practice was coming to a close as Yeonhee parked outside of Eunhye and Mei-Yin's university dorms.
Humming along to the music, drumming her fingers on the wheel as the raindrops rhythmically pattered on the glass windows.
The girl decided to reply to her masses of texts from Hyunjae about a boy she met earlier, stating it was straight out of a kdrama.
Midway through her replies, the car doors pulled open allowing sudden drafts of the cold air to invade, turning around to see the two girls with their large coats cocooning them.
Mei-Yin took the passenger seat, smiling as she greeted the girl while Eunhye slid into the back with two bags full of stuff.
"Did you bring your whole apartment or something?" She joked, mentioning the bags.
Eunhye rolled her eyes in response.
"No, I brought Jen some stuff- I can't help it. I think my love language is giving gifts- you know, the amount of stuff I buy for him."
"I wonder what my love language is- wouldn't know I've never been in a relationship." Mei-Yin laughed and Yeonhee patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, me too."
Eunhye gasped.
"What! You've never been in a relationship?"
"Nope." Yeonhee shook her head.
"Wow...and Mei your love language is definitely quality time."
"Mines probably bullying people." Yeonhee commented. "Obviously not actually bullying- you know what I mean."
"No I think you meant genuine bullying." Eunhye deadpanned to which Yeonhee flashed her middle finger at behind her.
"Isn't it crazy you've been with Jeno nearly 2 years?" Mei inquired, watching the road in front as Yeonhee drove through the rain.
"Honestly though, feels like I've known him my whole life." Eunhye voiced and Yeonhee pondered on a question she had curiosity about.
"Do you ever get jealous? Like with all the fans and stuff?"
The older girl hummed in thought before shrugging.
"I used to at the start but then you realise it's the price that comes with his job and it shouldn't impact your relationship if you both assure each other that there's no one else for each other and you love each other."
Yeonhee hummed in acknowledgement.
"Is it hard when you can't see each other as much?"
"Yes." Eunhye sighed. "A lot, I do wish we could be like other couples but we work through it because that's what you do when you love someone, you do what you can to see them."
The journey in the car was coming to a close as she pulled up to the special parking lot of the building- the person guarding it walking over.
Eunhye peered out of the window, smiling to the stoic big bulky man.
"Hey Park, can you let us in please."
"It's Mr Park to you." He muttered out gruffly, grunting as he walked over to let them through.
"He seems nice." Yeonhee commented and Mei laughed.
"He is, once you get to know him."
"You guys must be familiar with like all the staff and stuff."
"Yeah, it's like a whole big family in here." Eunhye commented, unbuckling her seatbelt to step out- grabbing her bags as the other two stepped out too.
It was darker in the parking lot, the lights above enough for them to see where they were going- Yeonhee trailing along with the other two as her eyes scanned the surroundings.
"We never go in from the front- fans are always there so we go in from here." Eunhye glanced back at Yeonhee who took it in, nodding with her stomach twisting nervously as they approached the door.
The brightness of the inside already illuminating the area in front of them up, Eunhye punching in the code as Yeonhee watched stunned by it- following the two girls in.
When they got in, her eyes scoped out the high ceilings to the high quality frames around the large hall.
"Come on." Eunhye urged, the plastic bags crinkling as she walked over to the far end which Yeonhee had no idea where it led but followed them both.
There was a desk before they could pass through, a person stopping in front of them.
"Who are you?" He asked formally, tone harsh and authoritative.
Mei-Yin pushed her hood down and her mask to reveal her features.
"It's us."
The guards eyes flickered with recognition, nodding to her and Eunhye till his eyes landed on Yeonhee who managed a smile.
He was staring her down coldly which only caused the girl to feel more nervous.
"Who are you?"
Her eyes flickered from him to the girls who were both beginning to panic too internally.
"I'm...Mark's friend." She introduced, standing straighter with a confident tone- bowing respectfully.
"Mark's friend? Which friend, how do you know him? Where exactly?"
"Um," she began, feeling bombarded by many questions at once. "I'm his friend from school."
"School?" He furrowed his brows. "You're Canadian?"
"Yeah- I'm Mark's friend from Canada." She lied, pursing her lips together to stop herself from laughing.
He raised his brows.
"You don't seem Canadian."
"Really? That kinda hurts." She placed a hand on her chest, looking down.
"I'm sorry but you'll have to prove you're Mark's friend, I can't let you in."
"She's with us though." Eunhye interrupted but he shrugged.
"Still. You will have to prove it or I will have to remove you from the premises-"
"Yeonhee?" The familiar confused voice called out, her head snapping to the side to see Mark stood there with Johnny, both of them holding a drink in their hand.
Mark's eyes were wide in shock, his steps halting as Yeonhee's face lit up.
"Hey Mark, how's it going?" The girl spoke in English with a Canadian accent which made his confusion grow further, spluttering on his drink.
"Dude what!" He exclaimed as Yeonhee coughed to stop herself from laughing out loud from his reaction.
"Do you know this young lady?" The guard inquired to which Mark nodded still confused.
The guard glanced at Yeonhee again before walking away, Eunhye shaking her head at him.
"What's up his ass?" She grumbled.
By this time, Mark approached her with the tall boy next to him.
"Bro, what's with the accent?" To which Yeonhee shrugged.
"He now thinks I'm your school friend from Canada so."
"I mean your accent is believable." Johnny's voice interjected, earning her attention.
Don't panic Yeonhee
"Hey, thanks- what can I say?" She shrugged with a shrug of her shoulders to which Johnny laughed.
"Hey, so you're Mark's friend? I take it you're not really from Canada."
"Nope, I'm Yeonhee." She introduced and Johnny's eyes flashed with recognition.
"Ohh, she's the girl you were talking about."
"Dude-" Mark began yet he was cut off.
"Well nice to meet you Yeonhee."
"You too." She smiled as he gave Mark a smug smile before joining the two girls as they began to walk towards where the dream boys were practicing.
"So anything in there for me?" Johnny inquired, glancing at the bag- their voices drifting off in the distance.
"Dude what are you doing here?" He asked shocked.
"Eunhye wanted to see Jeno so I drove here." She stated, glancing around the big hall. "But shouldn't you be practicing?"
"Oh we finished early- caught up with Johnny to grab a drink." He held up his drink and she nodded in realisation.
"Well, seeing as I'm here can I be a VIP and stay for a while?"
"Oh yo sure, I was heading back to the practice room anyways- I left my stuff." He answered, both of them beginning to walk in the directions the others left in.
"This building is so big." She murmured, encapsulated in awe of the interior as Mark laughed at her reaction.
"Honestly I'm in here like everyday so it doesn't seem that interesting."
"Did you have a good practice?" She asked, following alongside him as he stood outside the elevator- nodding as he took a sip of his drink.
"Yeah, we're pretty much good with it all- just have to keep practicing so it's perfect."
"Well, I'm sure it's perfect alread-"
"Hi Mark!"
Yeonhee glanced towards the direction the voice which cut off their conversation, sight landing on an older woman who smiled adoringly towards the boy from a few metres away.
"Hey! How are you?" Mark greeted back with a smile on his face. "Did your daughter have the baby?"
"Yes, oh let me show you!" She exclaimed happily, walking over with her phone out.
When she approached, her eyes met with Yeonhee who smiled warmly.
"Hello." The woman greeted to the girl next to Mark who bowed respectfully.
"Hi."
"My daughter had a baby boy not long ago, I was telling Mark about how she was in labour for four days." She explained, scrolling to find a picture.
Yeonhee grimaced at the thought.
"Really? That must have been really hard but congratulations on your grandson."
"Aw, thank you honey- here."
The woman handed her phone over to Mark to show the baby pictures of her grandson.
"There's a few on there." She smiled happily, clasping her hands together.
Yeonhee leaned closer to Mark in order to look at the pictures, her arm pressed against his own as they both looked over the newborn pictures.
The woman watched intently as both their eyes softened in awe at the pictures.
"Wow, yo...he's so cute." Mark murmured.
"He is, oh my god look at his little hands."
"Dudee, he's so small."
Mark looked over at Yeonhee who in return looked up at him, their eyes meeting as his own were rounded widely gleaming.
"Yoo, he's so cute." Mark repeated as Yeonhee laughed at his reaction, nodding in agreement and the woman retrieved her phone back.
"It's so weird being a grandmother- time flies doesn't it? I remember when Mark was this tall." She put her hand to the same level as her shoulder as Mark laughed shaking his head.
"I wasn't that short." He argued but the Woman laughed, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I should get going, I promised I'd help them come home from the hospital."
"Alright, tell them I said congratulations on the baby." Mark beamed, waving to the woman who bid them both goodbye.
Yeonhee spun around to face Mark who pressed the elevator button to call it to their floor.
"Who's she?"
"She works at the cafeteria bit, makes food for the idols and trainees who are here during the day."
"That's really nice of her." Yeonhee spoke, hearing the elevator ding which signalled the doors opening, Mark stepping back to subconsciously let the girl in first.
Once they both got into the elevator, Yeonhee leaned against the wall with her hands both on the railing- watching as Mark pressed the number 4.
"Do you not have uni today?" He asked, turning to look at her to which she shook her head.
"Not today, I have exams coming up though I need to study for them." She groaned in remembrance of it, leaning her head back.
"Dang, dude I'm sure you'll do good."
"Doubt it." She muttered, looking up at ceiling before continuing. "Imagine we get stuck."
"Yo don't say that you might make it happen." He exclaimed as she giggled at his expression, rolling her eyes jokingly.
"Don't worry if we get stuck I'll save you."
"That's really reassuring." He drawled out unconvincingly. "How are you gonna save me, what's the plan?"
The elevator doors slid open, Yeonhee leaning away from the wall to follow the boy out of the doors.
"It's obvious, I'll open the doors with my super strength and throw you out of it."
"Wow." he commented in disbelief as they turned into a long hallway. "You do know that I'll fall to my d-"
Mark was cut off by the girl grasping onto his arm, stopping him as his eyes immediately flickered down to her and trailed down where both of her hands clasped around his arm.
She was unaware of the state she had mentally sent the boy in, a state of panic as his throat suddenly tightened- eyes inching slightly wider.
Yeonhee was unaware, her own eyes trained to the end of the hallway in shock.
"Was that Irene? Oh my God, my life is complete. I've seen Irene in person." She rambled, not aware that Mark's cheeks heated up.
"Um, y-yeah that's her."
"Dude I'm still shocked I'm here, like I feel like some sort of intruder you know?" The girl spoke, letting go of his arm as she continued walking.
Mark realised she began to step down the corridor, following after her and making sure he would calm down his burning cheeks before opening the door to the practice room.
His phone began to ring in that moment, reaching in his pocket to grab it as Yeonhee heard the ringing- stopping to glance over.
"Yeah?" He answered.
The girl turned away from him, glancing up at the frames of the various groups- waking further down the hall as Mark continued to speak.
"The gym? Oh where the basketball court is. Alright, yeah. Yeah okay."
Hearing he had finished his conversation, the girl turned around, walking backwards as he placed his phone into his pocket.
"I'm so skilled, look at me." She boasted jokingly, closing her eyes and arms out. "See, walking backwards with my eyes closed? I'm so talented I know."
The boy laughed at he watched her, the corners of his eyes crinkling up as he did so then he clicked his tongue- arm shooting out as his hand grabbed her wrist.
"Dude, your talent was about to fail you there you nearly bumped into that."
Yeonhee glanced behind her to see a metal cabinet behind her to which she pursed her lips together.
"Well, how do you know I wasn't gonna parkour over it?" She raised her brows to which Mark raised his own brow at.
"Parkour?"
"Yep." She nodded.
"Alright, go ahead let's see your parkour."
He let go of her wrist and she glanced between him and the metal cabinet before nodding at his proposal.
"Okay," she shrugged. "Close your eyes."
"Yo what?"
"It's part of the parkour."
Mark deadpanned stared at her as she ushered him to close his eyes, wearily he did
"Dude," he began and Yeonhee waited three seconds before clapping her hands together.
"There! Wow, I'm so good at parkour."
Mark opened his eyes to see Yeonhee standing there grinning at him.
"That doesn't count, I didn't even see it. Y2Trappy is a fraudster."
Yeonhee gasped at his claim, offended.
"You should take that back."
"Nope." He shook his head and she narrowed her eyes at him before lunging forward and grabbing the first thing she saw which was his phone out of his hand and began to run down the hallway.
"You're right, I am a fraudster. The sasaeng has your phone now!" She called out, unable to stop herself from laughing as his own laughter echoed through the walls.
