Highway to your Heart || Haechan ||

"Dude~ she really got you there!"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Like, she really dared you to kiss the female lead on her lips without batting an eyelash!"

"I get it, Mork! Gosh, can't you just forget it ever happened and focus on our game so we don't get killed first?"

"Don't worry, I got you! But seeing you blush so furiously when you're not drunk is something memorable so don't expect me to forget it." The guy teased his best friend and got his character killed in the meantime because he didn't focus enough.

Removing his headset Mark leaned back in his chair and watched Donghyuck continue playing with the rest of their friends while occasionally yelling something to Johnny over the headset or arguing with Jungwoo.

He wondered how his best friend, the always smart and witty guy had managed to let go of such a perfect match for a stupid moment of lust.

It was obvious even to him who was usually clueless about things that something had been going on between the two and also that Donghyuck was oblivious about it.

Iseul had managed to shut him up and challenge him at the same time with only a sentence, successfully stopping the guy from whining and getting what he wants.

This was something nobody has accomplished before as they'd eventually give into Donghyuck's cuteness or threats, but the girl didn't care.

She simply drew the line and said not to mess with her unless you are tired of life.

Mark wondered why she chose to make a love story out of their memories instead of portraying the tan idiot as an asshole who played with hearts just like he did.

A hand slapped the back of his head and he looked up to see his annoyed best friend on his phone urging him to say something.

"I-"

"Oh, Melt, can't you focus for a second? I'm ordering dinner for us but you keep spacing out too much!"

"Sorry, dude."

"Ugh, so chicken and beer?"

"Cool!"

Donghyuck nodded and typed something into his phone before throwing it on the bed, removing the headset as their gaming session had come to an end so everyone could eat.

"What's on your mind?"

"Huh?"

"Come on, I know something's making you think so let me in before your brain explodes from overworking."

The tan male joked but both of them knew Mark would sooner or later come out with it anyways, more or less frustrated about not managing to solve the issue on his own.

"I'm just trying to figure out why Haechan was made so kind when she should have written his character as a jerk."

"YAH! Did you just call me a jerk?!"

"Not you as a person but the way you acted back then, which was the base for the character Haechan..." Mark started explaining while rambling some things that made no sense before a hand was slapped over his mouth to shut up.

"Mnwmfhnmmn~"

"Why don't you just ask Alice herself and spare me this tiring conversation?" Donghyuck watched his best friend nod before removing his hand from his mouth and wiping it on his shirt.

"I almost suffocated!"

"But you didn't."

"But I almost did!"

"You're making me wish you actually did."

"Not cool bro, not cool. Anyways, can I get her number so I can text her about it? Don't worry, I'm not trying to hit on her!"

Donghyuck looked at his best friend as if he was going crazy before handing over his phone and watching the happy paprika send the number to himself.

"Just don't do something embarrassing, please."

"You mean like how you blushed and retreated with your tail between your legs when she dared you to kiss the female lead?" Mark smirked before bolting out of their dorm running for his life from the angry pudu chasing him.

Hi, Iseul?

This is Lee Mark, Donghyuck's best friend

He gave me your number because I was curious about something and wanted to ask you as he is kind of clueless

The boy set his phone aside before grabbing a pair of chopsticks and digging into the meal in front of him which Donghyuck was already happily munching on.

The two had been chasing one another around the corridors until the message of their food getting delivered arrived and suddenly everything but the chicken was forgotten... Or maybe not...
