They're currently in Mark's apartment, specifically in his room, sitting on the bed.

"Hyungie, let's play house." Jisung suddenly says.

Mark quickly turns his head to Jisung, "We're not kids anymore, Jisung. And I think you should go home now."

"It's too dark outside and I already told Mom that I'm staying here in your apartment." Jisung grins and Mark just sighs.

"You're so spoiled and stubborn, I swear. Ever since you were a kid, you were always like that." Mark clicks his tongue.

Jisung presses his lips together. "It's not that I'm spoiled and stubborn, they just let me do what I want as long as I'm not harming myself or anyone. Is this harming you?" Mark shakes his head as a respond. "Please, just let me stay here, Minhyung. I'm too scared to go home at this dark."

Mark sighs and nods, pressing his lips together in a thin form. "Okay, okay. You can sleep here on my bed, I'll just sleep on the couch."

"On the couch? No! We can sleep together here." Jisung grins, "No need to sleep on the couch, you'll get uncomfortable."

"I'm okay, Jisung, really." Mark pats the younger's head and smiles slightly. "I'll go now. Sleep well." He's about to stand up when Jisung pushes him down on the bed, cornering both of his sides. "J-jisung?"

Jisung tilts his head as he stares at the older, "Stay. Here. Mark. Lee."

Mark gulps, hearing the younger says his English name for the first time. "W-we can't sleep together in one bed. We're not even dating."

"Oh? I thought we're already dating. Didn't you set a date for the both of us? And you said you like me." Jisung fakes sad expression, pouting at the older. "Didn't you?"

Mark blinks several, "I know I said I like you, and that's true. But that doesn't mean we can sleep in one bed. I respect you, Jisung. We're not boyfriends so we can't sleep together. Let me go, please!" He stares at Jisung's shining eyes.

Jisung hesitantly gets up and lets go of Mark. "Okay. I'm sorry, hyungie. Good night." His lips formed a thin smile.

Mark finally gets off the bed and pats the younger's head once again, "I like you, don't worry. Sleep well, kiddo."

Jisung nods, "Sleep well."
