"where are we going...?" donghyuck asked nonchalantly, his head leaning against the car window as he stared blankly at the landscape.

"i can't tell you, it's a surprise." jaemin replied, a small smile decorating his lips.

"hmph..." donghyuck let out a small groan.

neither jaemin nor donghyuck started a conversation again, both boys simply enjoying the calm atmosphere that the music created inside the car.

jaemin had selected a random music channel since he knew that music channels tended to put pop music that made you happy. however, he didn't expect for this channel to play some super m songs, which is why the younger immediately shut the radio off as the first beats from jopping started playing.

donghyuck sighed loudly, looking at the radio as if it was his long-lost love.

"do you think they remember me?" he asked, voice raspy and low.

"what?"

"super m." donghyuck continued. "do you think they know that i still exist? or am i dead to them?"

"of course, you're not dead to them. they miss you, i'm sure of it."

donghyuck snorted. "yeah, that's why they've all been texting me and visiting me these past weeks."

jaemin faced his best friend when he stopped at a red light.

donghyuck looked awful. these past two – almost three – weeks had destroyed him completely.

"have you never told yourself that their manager or their boss control what they do?" jaemin asked. "maybe they want to reach you and to talk to you, but they aren't allowed."

"lee sooman is a bitch, but that's another level of bitchiness." donghyuck sighed.

"donghyuck, do you seriously think your boyfriend would have left you without a message?"

donghyuck snorted loudly. "my boyfriend. considering him and i haven't been in contact for two weeks and a half, i'm not sure we can still call him that."

"mark loves you, donghyuck."

"yeah, well, he's not here to tell me he does." donghyuck spat, making silence take over the car again – and this time, there was no music to get their minds off all the problems in their lives.

"do you think there is something i could do to make you feel better?" jaemin asked after a while.

"unless you can make me become anonymous again, i'm sorry but i don't think you can do anything."donghyuck replied.

"and... is there something particular that you want to do?"

donghyuck thought for a while before leaning against the car window again.

"go back to the super m us tour, when mark and i and everything was perfectly fine..."

"hello seoul! thank you to all of you for coming to our concert!" baekhyun exclaimed, making the crowd of fans yell and clap loudly.

it felt good after all those weeks to be back on a stage in front of a public.

concerts were always nerve-wracking for the boys, but this time, it was more than just nerve-wracking for mark. it was frightening. the canadian male dreaded the end of the concert, and his body tensed more and more with each second passing and signalling that the end of the concert was nearing. however, none of the fans seemed to have noticed it.
