It was Saturday, and Renjun, Jeno, Donghyuck, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung decided to stay at Mark and Taeyong's house.

"I thought you'll be here later." Taeyong scratched his head when he saw the six outside their gate. It was still early in the morning.

Although they did informed the Lees that they would stay at their house for a while, they didn't tell them that they would go there early.

"Good morning, hyungie~" Chenle greeted and skipped his way inside the house.

They even had to pick Chenle up at their house, because his parents decided to buy a house in Korea. The reason why he left the dorm.

"Where's Mark-hyung?" Jaemin asked, when he noticed that their house was a bit quiet than usual.

Usually, loud music would be heard from Mark's music, but the house was utterly silent today.

"He just got his sleep. Let him be for a while." He said. "I'll just make breakfast for us." He went to the kitchen, leaving the younger ones alone in the living room.

🎶

"Yah, my turn!" Renjun snatched the microphone from Donghyuck's hand.

They have been singing songs ever since they arrived. Mark was still sleeping, and they had to entertain themselves until Mark wakes up.

"Renjun-hyung let's get it!" Chenle laughed when the music started to play.

Before Renjun could sing, they heard a voice comin from the staircase which made them turn the karaoke set off.

"What are you guys doing this early?" Mark was standing on the stairs, watching his friends having the time of their lives.

"Hyung!!! You're finally awake!!"

They all rushed towards Mark and headed upstairs.

🎵

"No, you got one note wrong!" Donghyuck stomped his foot in frustration when Jeno kept on pressing the wrong keys on the keyboard. "Heck, you even play the guitar." He snorted.

Chenle laughed, seeing his hyungs bicker is always the best scene for him.

"You guys, could you keep it down?" Mark shushed, his attention was still on the music sheet he was holding.

Donghyuck skipped towards Mark and sat beside him. "What are you doing, hyung?"

"It's the song Yuri and Renjun will sing on the closing." He said. "I'm just finalizing it, because Miss Kim asked me to revise some of the notes."

Jisung, on the other hand, was playing on his phone when he suddenly remembered Renjun last night. He was happy— way too happy.

He sighed and decided to text Ningning. 'Why is Renjun-hyung happy?'

The girl immediately replied. 'Why are you asking me? I'm not Renjun.'

'Have you guys talked?' Jisung asked.

'Yeah. I apologized yesterday.'

Jisung mouthed an 'o', finally understanding why. 'By the way, I'm sorry I didn't had the chance to give him the leters. He was too hapoy...'

'It's fine, it probably might've ruined his mood^^ just keep all the letters i'll be giving you and just give it to him when the right time comes.'

'Sure, sure. Will do.'

A knock was heard and Taeyong opened the door. "Irene-noona and Jaehyun are also downstairs. They've got pizza." He smiled.

They immediately stood up from their seats and followed Taeyong downstairs.

Except for Renjun.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Mark asked.

"Hyung, I want to ask you a question..." Renjun said.

"Sure, what is it?" Mark leaned his back on he swivel chair as he kicked the floor so that he would me nearer to Renjun.

The younger took a deep breath. "I don't know if it's alright to ask you this, but I'll still do it anyways."

He continued, "How did you know that you already like Eunmi-noona?"

Mark was surely taken aback ny the question. He looked at a different direction and rubbed his chin. "Hmm... before, we used to hate each other's guts." He chuckled at the thought.

"A day wouldn't pass without me making fun of her childishness. I don't know why, though. It just became my habit." He chuckled. "I guess I just love to see her mad." He stood up and went towards his table as he picked up a picture frame with their photo in it.

"I don't know why, though..." Mark smiled, a sad one, and placed the frame back in its place. He sat on his chair and faced Renjun, who was intently listening. "I would be honest. The moment I heard her sang for the first time, I feel like I was back in time... when I used to sing with Jiyeon. At first, I really saw Jiyeon in Eunmi... but as time went by, I realized that they're different." He sighed. "Very different."

Renjun refused to break eye contact. It's been a while since he heard something from Mark. It's the first time that they talked like this... sincere.

And it's also the first time Mark openly talked about him and Eunmi ever since she left.

"Then it hit me." Mark continued. "One day, I woke up, and I wanted to hear her voice. I wanted her voice to be the first sound I hear every morning I wake up." He smiled. "I wanted to see her always, and I wanted to hear her voice every time."

Mark took a deep sigh before continuing. "I realized that I already like her when I took care of her when she got sick." He looked at Renjun, "Why, Renjun-ah? Do you like someone?"

The said boy looked down and thought of everything that Mark said. He sighed and buried his face in his palms when he couldn't even utter a single word.

"Hey," Mark placed his hand on the younger's shoulder and looked at him. "Is something— or maybe someone, bothering you? You could tell me if you want to."

Renjun took a deep breath and sat properly before answering. "Hyung, there's this girl... she's been in my mind ever since I first met her..."

He continued, "She's been messing with my mind these past few days..." He sighed. "Especially when she ignored me... I almost went crazy when she became cold out of the blue... but not until yesterday..."

"She apologized for acting that way, and she told me that she's busy with schol works." Renjun explained.

Mark nodded, "Mhm... do you believe her?"

"A part of me does... the other part does not." Renjun shrugged. "I know there's a reason, but I don't want to make things awkward by asking her..."

Mark nodded, gesturing the younger to continue what he was saying.

"I don't know why, hyung... but when I saw her smile and heard her voice yesterday, my heart skipped a beat, and somehow, I felt relieved." Renjun smiled unknowingly.

Mark wanted to laugh at his friend's naiveness. He smiled and patted the younger's shoulder. "Aigoo~ You already like someone... or maybe you already love her." Mark chuckled.

"That fast?" Renjun asked.

Mark shrugged. "Possible. Look at what happened to me and Eunmi." He said and faced his table, continuing what he was doing earlier.

"Just give it time, Renjun-ah... and you'll realize it without even knowing it."
