"mark?"
"yeah?"
"are you ready to admit that you fucked up?"
the lee siblings ducked as a tennis ball was suddenly thrown from across the room. something shattered behind them, but neither had the guts to turn around and accept it.
"... i fucked up."
haechan promised that he only invited ten people, but it was as if those ten invited ten more, and so on. mark and malory's apartment was filled to the brim with people; some strangers and some friends.
malory shrieked when a large man accidentally backed into her, resulting in her nearly toppling into mark. thankfully, he caught her and yelled at the drunk guy to back off.
"all i wanted was to play michael jackson: the experience!" she cried dramatically as her brother stabilized her. "when i said to invite the guys, i meant the only four guys you're friends with!"
mark raised his hands in defense, eyes wide as he stumbled over an excuse. "it's haechan's fault!"
groaning, malory grabbed a ceramic mug from someone's hand, ignoring their complaining, and placed it into the sink before marching off to find lee haechan.

"what am i supposed to do with this?" tern asked her girlfriend after iseul dropped a tray of cookies into her arms. "i don't know, that girl over there said they're for the owner of the house."
tern raised a brow. glancing behind her, she found an empty spot on mark and malory's kitchen table and turned back to face iseul. "okay, i'll put them over there. wait here for me?"
"i'll go with you!" iseul offered instead as she looped her arms around tern's. the shorter of the two smiled widely and pressed a quick kiss against her girlfriend's cheek before leading them to the open table.
placing the tray down, tern looked back to see iseul facing the door. even on her tiptoes, tern couldn't make out who or what her girlfriend was looking at. instead, she gently nudged iseul with her hip to get her attention.
"what's up?" she asked when her girlfriend faced her, and iseul smiled, but there was a look in her eye that tern couldn't dissect. "i'll get us something to drink. want anything?"
tern stared at her for a moment. "are you okay?" she asked, reaching forward to take iseul's hand in hers, but the taller didn't seem to notice as she backed away. "i'll get us some fruit punch!"
"sure, okay," tern trailed off as iseul disappeared into the crowd. sighing, the girl grabbed one of the cookies from the tray and took a bite before hearing someone call her name.
looking up, tern grinned when she saw malory approaching with an angry look in her eye. "have you seen haechan?!" she was practically yelling since someone decided to turn the music up, but tern could only shrug. "i just got here!"
