#2: Rough.

Chapter Two: "Rough."

Having a fairly relaxed schedule the next day, Haechan had come back to the dorm in the late afternoon.

It was currently seven in the evening and he was in the maknaes' shared room, gaming with Jisung. Chenle was sprawled across his bed, not bothered by Jisung and Haechan's gaming noises.

As Jaemin prepared their dinner, suddenly in the mood to cook, Renjun was watching a show in the living room while Jeno and Mark were still not back from the agency. They were all keeping busy in their own way, enjoying their time or using it to upskill before they get involved in their comeback preparations.

"BABIES! COME AND EAT!"

Jisung flinched at Jaemin's loud voice that was beckoning them to eat. While everyone was used to each other, the maknae somehow was always surprised at things like this.

Finishing their game, Haechan and Jisung dragged Chenle out for dinner and walked into the dining area where Renjun was helping Jaemin place the food on the table.

"Mark hyung and Jeno hyung are still not back?" Jisung questioned to no one in particular.

Jaemin being the only one who saw them that day as he was the only one awake when they left, answered, "Jeno said they'll be late and to not wait for them for dinner."

And so they settled down, relishing Jaemin's homemade food that always tasted better than delivered meals. With light chatter and bickering, they finished up their meal and played an intense round of rock, paper, scissors which concluded Haechan as the dishwasher for the night.

Though he had whined in retaliation, he put on the gloves and began his chore. Halfway through it, the door opened and the two missing members finally made their appearance at the dorm.

"I guess you lost the game tonight," Jeno commented while Mark chuckled at Haechan's sulking expression.

Haechan flicked his fingers at them, the soap bubbles spraying onto Mark's shirt. "Haechan!" Mark exclaimed as he got himself a tissue, Jeno laughing at the situation and heading into his room first.

Giggling in mischief, Haechan's smile however faded when he saw Renjun walk up to their leader and practically collapse into his arms. Mark held him up as they fell onto the couch, Renjun snuggling up to him.

His lips turned down as Haechan wondered why Renjun got such a heartwarming greeting while he just got his name yelled. But then again, he literally showered Mark with soap bubbles the moment he stepped into the dorm.

By the time Haechan was done with the dishes, Mark was already in the shower while Renjun finished up the show he was watching alone in the living room.

"I'm going to head in," Haechan told Renjun who gave him a thumbs up in acknowledgement.

Opening the door, Haechan entered his room where Mark combing his hair in front of the mirror. Laying on his bed, he picked up his phone to scroll through twitter.

"What did you guys do today?" Mark asked him about his day.

"Games. And Jaemin cooked," Haechan answered simply. "I guess you ate with Jeno. Jaemin said you guys told him not to wait for you guys in the morning."

Mark nodded slowly, "and you seem upset by it though I don't know why."

"Maybe because I had to plead with you for us to eat together yesterday while you two had plans to do so today," Haechan turned away from him.

Sighing, Mark put the comb down. Walking around his bed, he sat on Haechan's mattress where Haechan's back was facing him.

"Haechan."
