"marrrk leeee!" jungwoo shouted just as mark was entering the backstage area before their rehearsal. a few of the members quickly gathered around him eagerly.

"hey man! i feel like i haven't seen you as much lately," johnny said with a small pat on mark's shoulder.

"yeah, sorry. i've had some personal things happening."

"is everything okay?" jungwoo asked. mark quickly nodded.

"oh yes, nothing bad. just life stuff, y'know?" he replied. the others nodded along before donghyuck spoke up.

"damn, life indeed," he said as he pointed to mark's neck, "look at these hickeys."

"shit.." mark's hand shot up to cover his neck as he mentally scolded himself. he'd completely forgotten about the marks y/n left. he was just glad they couldn't see beneath his shirt.

"wahh!" jungwoo shouted in awe as all three of them tried to look at the side of his neck. mark quickly moved away while laughing nervously.

"who's the culprit??" johnny asked jokingly.

"are you seeing someone?" donghyuck chimed in.

mark sighed and shook his head.

"hush, i still need to go get wired up and stuff," mark brushed their questions off as he began looking for a staff member or stylist, probably to also cover his neck with some makeup.

"boooo!" johnny shouted while the shorter walked away with a blushing smile. he stopped in front of a staff member who was getting his microphone and ear pieces ready when his phone vibrated in his pocket. after pulling the device out, he saw a text from y/n.

y/n :

heat instantly rose to the male's cheeks as he read the message. y/n never failed to make his day better.

"ready?"

mark hurriedly turned his phone off at the voice of the staff member. clearing his throat, he gave a smile and nodded.

"yes, sorry," he responded. he quickly set his phone aside and stood up straight so they could adjust everything correctly. his thoughts continued to linger on y/n, though. he just hoped he could get through the evening without getting even more distracted.
