Mark thinks that the train station has the biggest line to the ticket vending machines he has seen so far. He has a hard time walking around that line just to reach another side of the building.

When he finally succeeds to walk past the line, he wears a proud smile on his face that he doesn't have to wait there because he has a digital card for his trip on the train.

A lot of people were outside as well and Mark feels that he did a great job by buying a digital card because the train might be full if he doesn't get here in time. Mark is newbie in this.

He finds an empty seat and takes it, putting his bags next to his feet. Some old man, who is from Mark's left, glances at the boy's shit and rolls his eyes. Mark notices that he's literally surrounded by old people. He feels out of place so he decides to do something on his phone.

Mark checks his Instagram, reads some new articles on the internet and does whatever he can so that he won't need to look at how some woman from his right is checking him out.

"Young people these days can't look away from phones," someone blurts out and Mark feels like eight eyes are looking at him, waiting for his reaction.

Mark just chuckles but doesn't let old people provoke him. He remembers how Haechan flashed his middle finger to Karen this morning and knows that he lacks a bit of self-confidence or maybe he's too well mannered and respectful. He could never do that to elderly people.

The train arrives and Mark looks up only to see that it isn't his. Old people raise up from their seats, letting Mark finally breathe without fearing that they will say something about his way of breathing. He looks at their backs going inside the train and mentally jokes that this train is going to take them to Heaven. He then scolds himself for an inappropriate joke. That is rude!

He tries to divert his mind somewhere else but instead gets to another topic he tries to forget. The main reason why Mark is losing concentration is Haechan. Mark keeps remembering him and the night with the brunette but also tries to forget it as it was only a one-night stand. He isn't a person to hold on to one-night stands, no. But the bratty boy is someone else. Mark doesn't know why but he keeps remembering Haechan even if it's already a past event and there's a low chance that they'll meet each other again.

It becomes even harder when Mark's eyes catch Haechan entering the subway. Something in Mark's stomach twists and he feels the corners of his lips going up. Though soon they go down when Mark notices that Haechan isn't alone. He walks in with like three other people around him. One person is that bleached-haired guy that Mark recognizes as Haechan's friend Jaemin. He doesn't know the other two and it leaves him wondering which one of them is Haechan's boyfriend.

Scared of getting caught, Mark looks away and pretends to be interested in his phone. He suddenly feels embarrassed that he is interested in Haechan when the latter is already taken. It doesn't matter what his relationship with his boyfriend is, Mark feels bad that he banged some boy's boyfriend. Mark is a good guy and hates ruining other people's relationships but he hates chasing one-night stands more that's why he has never done it.

"Fifteen minutes left," he hears one of Haechan's friends speaking. "Let's sit down."

"We're going to sit for three hours. I don't want to have a flat ass," Haechan's loud personality is all over the place.

"Flat ass and your name don't go together, baby."

Mark's ears quickly catch the pet name and he slightly lifts his head. He sees Haechan being hugged by a blue-haired guy, both of them look so cheesy yet adorable. Haechan is teasing his boyfriend but his eyes suddenly shift on Mark in a second and they both make eye contact.
