dial a valentine. markhyuck

eleven.

"see?" said yangyang, throwing his hands in the air while looking at his friends with his gummy smile, "i've been telling you guys that it's actually donghyuck and ya'll don't want to believe me."

yangyang has been telling the same thing to his friends this whole hour and he just looks like a kid telling a story to his mom.

"okay, yangyang we get it." ten said, releasing a chuckle.

mark on the other side, sat there, eyes wandering around the cafeteria. something feels missing inside here, and he can't just pinpoint what it is.

"johnny hyung, jaehyun hyung..." mark started to list all of the people in the table with him, "ten hyung, and yangyang—"

"cmon mark, tell us the details on how your valentine's day went." johnny told, as he pats the younger's shoulder. everyone has been dying to know how the famous boy mark lee's valentine's day went.

"well uh..." mark rubbed his nape, finally averting his attention to his friends, "good, i guess?"

with mark's simple answer they immediately let out teasing noises once again as johnny playfully slapped his arms, "so did you guys... you know?" johnny stick his lips out while nodding his head.

"no johnny hyung!" mark almost shouted, thankfully it's not that loud or they could gain attention to other students, "no. we did not kiss." mark quickly denied, shaking his head.

"where is he anyway?" ten asked, looking around the cafeteria, his eyes landed towards a specific table and saw familiar faces, "isn't that donghyuck's friends?"

ten is right. where is donghyuck? is he the one that mark has looking for this whole time? he looked over to donghyuck's friends' table and didn't see a single sign of the younger.

this morning too, he tried calling the younger, but donghyuck isn't picking up.

brushing those thoughts away, he shook his head as he stood up, "whatever." said mark, and grabbed his water bottle, "i'm refiling my bottle."

"but where is donghyuck?" jaemin managed to squeeze in the question between their conversation, "did he not come to school today?"

"i called him earlier and he's not picking up my call." renjun replied, mouth fills with rice, as he nods.

"try calling him again." jeno comments and received a nod from jaemin.

clicking the call button, jaemin layed his phone flat on the table, putting the call on speaker, hopefully, donghyuck will pick up. a few seconds later, they heard a hoarse voice coming from the other side of the line, "hello?"

"donghyuck!" all three of them said in unison. "where are you? why aren't you in school today?" jaemin almost yelled on his phone.
