Chapter Seven.

"Hyungie, let's play house again!" the kid happily exclaimed, entering Minhyung's house. But he was disappointed that he didn't see him inside.

"Oh, hello Sungie! Your Minhyung hyung is in his room," Mrs. Lee said, approaching the kid. "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

Sungie shook his head, "Not yet. Mom's still cooking," he replies. "Can I go to Minhyungie's room?"

Mrs. Lee nodded and smiled at him, "Sure. But you have to knock first, okay?" Sungie just nodded. She pinched his cheeks before letting him to go upstairs.

When he reached Minhyung's room, he knocked on the door, just like Mrs. Lee told him. When he didn't get a respond, he knocked once again. "Minhyungie!"

After few seconds, the door was opened and he stared up at Minhyung who looked like he just woke up. "Hey, Sungie, what are you doing here?"

Sungie smiled widely, hugging the older's waist. "Let's play house again."

Minhyung sighed and pushed the kid gently to make him pull away. Sungie pouted and finally entered the room, and the older shut closed the door.

"Hyungie, please?" Sungie pulled the older to the bed and they sat there.

"Does your mom knows you're here?"

"Hm," Sungie nodded, "I told her." He scrunched his nose. "Let's play house, Minhyungie."

Minhyung rubbed his eyes while nodding. "Okay."

Sungie giggled. "Call me honey."

"What?"

"Mark Lee!"

Mark startles that he almost fell on his chair. Donghyuck laughs so hard.

"What the heck, Hyuck! What are you doing here?"

"You're zoning out." Donghyuck teases. "Hey, you told me last night to come here in the clinic. So, here I am. Don't you remember?"

"Oh. Yeah, yeah, okay." Mark nods. "Okay, so, I have question."

"Go ahead."

Mark sighs deeply, brushing away his thoughts of that memory. "When I was a teenager, I got married to a kid."

"What?" Donghyuck laughs, "Seriously?"

"Just kidding." Mark chuckles nervously. He fidgets on his fingers, trying to organize his thoughts. "Don't you think that when a person likes you when they were still a kid, they'll still like you when they get older?"

Donghyuck hums questioningly, furrowing his eyebrows. "That's oddly specific. But maybe. You know, kids are mostly attracted to someone older than them, especially when that someone has a close relationship with them. And usually, they develop crush on that person. Although, I don't know if they'll still like that person when they get older, but who knows." He shrugs. "Why did you ask?"

Mark shakes his head, "Nothing. Thank you." Despite confused, Donghyuck just nods.
