How Mark Met Johnny
“You’re sure you'll be ok doing this program?” Taeyong asks.
“Yeah, and you’ll be there, too, right?” Mark replies.
“I will. I’ll probably just stay in the hotel room.”
“Ok, hyung. I think I'll be ok." Mark smiles and takes Taeyong's hand. "And I'll call you right away if anything happens."
"Promise?"
"I promise. Why do you seem more nervous than me?"
"I just don'twant anything to happen to you."
"I know, and we'll be landing soon, so I kind of can't back out."
Mark is definitely a bit nervous, but the feeling of excitement is greater as he thinks about what he'll learn.
The two boys make it to the hotel they're staying at, and, after checking the room for anything suspicious, they lay on the bed.
"What time do you have to be there tomorrow?"
"The first class is dance at 9 and the last one is a group party thing that ends at 4."
"Ok, so I'll see you at, like, 4:30."
"Yeah, and, if not, I'll text you."
"Alright. You can do this, Minhyung."
This thing that Mark is going to is a day-long dance program. He got invited by the organizers and immediately decided he wanted to go.
It's in Chicago, so he and Taeyong are in a different country, but the main concern is that Mark's family lives in America now, and he really doesn't want them to find him. But this opportunity, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and he took it because he knows that he'll regret it if he doesn't go.
So far, Taeyong has only met four of his soulmates including Mark, but Taeil, Doyoung, and Jaehyun couldn't go to America with them.
After seventeen hours of flying, Taeyong wrapshis arms around Mark and nuzzles Mark's cheek with his nose.
"I believe in you, Mark. You'll be great," Taeyong whispers.
"Thank you, hyung."

"Darling," Taeyong coos. "It's time to get up. I got you breakfast."
