This chapter is basically just Yuta making the most of the time he has left with Mark before he finds out about the soulmate tattoo.

230 days until Mark's birthday

Yuta had been waiting for exactly three hours, forty-seven minutes and twelve seconds for Mark to finish his school work. He'd been promised quality time playing video games together, as soon as Mark was done. When Mark had said this, Yuta didn't think he'd take so long. To reiterate, it had been almost four hours. He could have at least been warned, he would have been able to get a full workout in that way. It was so painful,, , he had nothing to do except stare at Mark trying to finish his schooling. Even then, Mark had quickly become uncomfortable so he'd asked Yuta to stop, and he did. For a while, Yuta occupied himself by reading more fanfics but eventually he became too fed up to enjoy the dramatic romance books on Wattpad.

So Yuta got up from his bed and crouched by Mark's chair and made puppy eyes at him, who upon noticing the Japanese boy's presence, spared him a quick glance and immediately refocused on his exercise books. Yuta was going to have to try harder. He poked the younger's cheek, then squished it. Mark still managed to ignore him.

"Your homework looks boring"

"Let's go play games instead"

"Markie, I know you're busy but I really need some love and attention right now." Yuta whined.

At Yuta's last comment, Mark swivelled his chair around (Mark had bought himself a spinning office chair for his room because he liked being able to roll everywhere he wanted) to face Yuta.

"Hyung, you're not a dog."

"I know I'm not"

"That means you don't need constant love and attention, go ask someone else to play, I'll join you later"

"But- But everyone else is busy and I do need love and attention from you, because I love you!"

Mark chuckled "I- okay, but I do actually need to finish this later"

"Mhm"

201 days until Mark's birthday

Yuta was at home, waiting for Mark to get back from the recording studio so they could go to dinner together, when he heard a knock at the door. He momentarily debated ignoring it, reasoning that if it was Mark, he'd use his key and that if it wasn't Mark, then the person outside the door couldn't be that important. If they really cared then they'd come back another time. Besides, he was comfy where he was on the sofa.

However, Yuta's guilt for ignoring some random person who probably didn't deserve it won, so he groaned and started towards the door. He wasn't even going to bother checking himself in the mirror, he wasn't trying to impress this random person at the door, his efforts were reserved for Mark alone. Yuta opened the door, a little too aggressively, only to find Mark's nightmare of an ex girlfriend behind it. His eyes widened in disbelief that she'd have the nerve to come back and then hardened into a harsh glare; he wasn't going to deal with her bullshit today. Mind made up, he slammed the door in her face as she was about to start talking.

A few moments of silence went by, before she knocked again but this time, Yuta didn't even consider opening the door.
