Painted With Your Smile | Lim Jaebeom & Lee Donghyuck

Alcohol-free, Sentiment-full

   Her mind still occupied with Yugyeom and his gift, Danny stepped into the living room, to find everyone in a chaotic state. Mark and Jungwoo were piling a large amount of bags near the entrance, Kat was trying to carry a speaker, almost as big as her, with Yuta begging her to leave it down behind her, while she could also spot Mariji and Ivy in the distance, fussing over something in the kitchen.

 -"Can someone tell me, what in the name of Sivert is going on?", the girl asked, feeling her head fuzzy from all the simulateous movement in the room.

   Mark  approached her, his hand landing on her shoulder. After sighing loudly and brushing the back of his palm along his forehead he went ahead to explain:

 -"Well, we kind of decided to throw ousrelves a small beach party tonight. SweEt, ey?", he bragged nodding towards the direction of the preparations.

 -"Dan, you okay?", the blonde boy asked, sqeezing her shoulder lightly, concerned over the lack of reaction from her side.

   As if snapping her out of her thoughts, Danny's eyes turned to meet his.

 -"Yeah yeah, sorry Marky, or dare I say, mr. Mark Lee Johnson, party planner of the year.", she flashed him a smile, reassuring him that everything was okay. "Actually I'm really excited about this, I could use the fresh air."

 -"Well you're lucky then, the air is even fresher at night.", he winked.

 -"What do you mean?", Danny gave him a questioning look, "We're staying there?"

 -"OH YEAH! Oiiiiii, Danny it's going to be so nice, like, I'm bringing the guitars and all, and maybe, we can like, light a fire or something-"

 -"I'm all with you Marky, just, please let's not start a fire, or... die, okay?"

 -"Leave it all to me bear. It's gonna be a blast I'm telling you."

 -"I really hope so...", Danny whispered as Mark was leaving her side, feeling impatient to enjoy herself for once.

---------------------------------------------

   It took them a couple of hours to complete every task on the list, Jaebeom's return playing a significant role in the delay.

 -"So like, bro, what the heck is going on with Mar? Are you... doing it and stuff!?", Mark asked the black-haired boy, full of curiosity.

 -"Wait what?", Jaebeom snapped, shocked.

 -"Jungwoo told me-", Mark started to get interrupted by Jungwoo himself.

 -"Let's just say you didn't even try hiding it last night-"

   He didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence, before Jaebeom had already left him and Mark behind, uninterested and unwilling to give any answers.

 -"Mark, I'm telling you these two-"

 -"Oooookay everyone, I think we're ready. Let's start loading the car, shall we?", Johnny, who had returned, interrupted Jungwoo's crazy rage of curiosity.

 -"Yeahhhhh! Let's go, let's get it! Me, Jungwoo and Yuta are going to take care of my car, okay?", Mark suggested.

   The black-haired girl, standing in the corner of the room, looked around, trying to read Johnny's reaction, feeling awkward over the familiarity of the circumstance.
