GATEWAY 🝔 LEE JENO

🝔 2.29

Searching for Nal everywhere, Ga-eun eventually made way towards Mark's bedroom knowing that Jisung probably has the little kitten. 

Without a warning she slammed the door open to find discarded clothes and items decorating the floors. Furrowing her brows she stepped inside to find Mark packing a suitcase. With disappointment riding her features, Ga-eun walked over holding onto the shirt that Mark had in his palms. 

"I am so sorry Mark. Is Jisung making you do all this for him?" she spoke out in an apologetic tone while looking around at the mess that was created. In confusion the older boy burst into small giggles before snatching the shirt back. 

"Nope" he smiled placing the t-shirt into the suitcase. "Jisung already packed his stuff. I made all this mess" he said the last part in a embarrassed sort of way. He was not aware of the clutter of items everywhere that he caused until she mentioned. Not understanding what he was on about Ga-eun tilted her head scanning his features attempting to read what he was up to. "Why?"

Pressing his lips together Mark sent a sorrowful look to which Ga-eun instantly caught on. Glancing down she looked back at the suitcase to find that the clothes were actually not Jisung's but Marks instead. "Where are you going?" she questioned not remembering the boy mentioning that he is leaving anywhere.

Taking a deep inhale he gave a small smile to the younger girl. "Narva" Bewildered by the information that he had been hiding, Ga-eun's eyes naturally shot wide open unable to digest the news. "You as well?" she breathed out quietly clearly dejected. 

"I heard that you guys have a lot of authors in your world. I'm not surprised. I mean after all, you don't use technology. You learn and gain all knowledge through books. And I love reading so I wanna go and maybe even publish a few there" understanding where he was coming from Ga-eun gave a sad smile. Nonetheless, she was happy to see him so fixed for his future career. 

But it upset her because she became really close to the boy. He helped her so much when writing her book and he went through a lot of trouble to get it published. Pouting she glared at him a bit downhearted that he hadn't told her beforehand. 

Upon spotting the upset expression, Mark bent down before loosely wrapping his arms around her. Patting her head he ruffled her hair. "I will come back one day with Jisung so don't be too upset" How could she not? Though she did not show it too much, she was already cast down by the fact that her younger brother was leaving. And now Mark as well. 

Nevertheless she smiled before wrapping her arms around him. Giving a small nod she spoke out. "You do realise that you have to wait for the specific day for the gate to open" with a smug smile, Mark pulled away. Eyebrow cocked up he nodded. "It said on the news that there's a storm and lighting tonight. And I also checked. Today is a full moon. Jisung and I are planning on leaving tonight"

"TONIGHT!" she screamed out making the boy involuntarily screech in pain. Rubbing his ear he nodded. "So soon" she cried out hugging the boy again. Letting out a saddened sigh let out a small whine. Nonetheless she tried to show her happiness for him. "Enjoy your self there" he smiled and nodded. "And take care of jisung please"

"Dont worry I will"

"And also visit Haechan and Jaemin. Their my friends. If you're ever troubled or bored go to them. I feel like Haechan will like you" chuckling he was about to answer when another presence was felt around them. 

Looking over, they saw Jeno and Jisung also joining their hug. "Don't listen to her. Haechan is a headache" Jeno whispered into Mark's ear making Ga-eun pinch Jeno's side making the boy reflexively flinch and squeal.
