The season starts with a bunch of seniors taking the spotlight. The new members barely are taken in consideration for the start lineup so Mark finds himself benched almost in every match. It sucks, but it also motivates him to practice more.
Mark’s feeling a bit unwell today so he’s kind of glad that he’ll be benched again. What he’s not so glad about is seeing a certain brunette boy with innocent looking smile walking up to him.
“Yo!”
“What are you doing here?!” Mark hisses, half yelling at his best friend as he approaches him. “I told you I’m not playing today!”
Jaemin scoffs. “Who said I came to see you?”
Mark quirks a brow at that. He calls Jaemin his best friend for a few reasons : Jaemin is an amazing supporter to everything he does and even better when it comes to give advices. Mark knows he can rely on him on everything. Mark also calls him the devil — for even more than evident motives.
“Hey Jeno!”
And Mark is positive Jaemin is the second one today.
Said boy stops on his tracks and looks at them as if one of them grew a third head.
“Hey?” Jeno replies, with a hint of a question.
Jaemin snakes an arm around Mark’s shoulders and brings him closer. “Take care of buddy here, will you? He’s still a bit nervous.”
And then happens what they would never expect in a million years — Jeno looks at Mark for help. Jeno is bewildered as hell but Mark looks even worse, eyes too round almost falling out. He prays his teammate gets the hint that he doesn’t have anything to do with this sudden-unwanted approach and soon even less with a dead blonde.
“Okay?”
Jeno starts walking in whatever direction; he forgot where he was planning to go because it caught him off guard, but still looks back to give a quirked eyebrow to the two freaks. Jeno's still unsure of what happened with his old rivals.
“Oh my god, he’s going to think I’m a weirdo!”
“So now you care what he thinks of you?” Jaemin says, smirk on point. Mark grunts.
“No!” Their hate relationship is a bit broken with the amount of meet-ups the team has but they still prefer to stay as far away from each other as possible. “Just—“
Mark doesn’t even finish whatever he was going to say because he thinks beating up his best friend is a more accurate answer.
