"Mark!"

Mark's eyes fluttered open at the call of his name, the haze of sleep evident in his eyes as he blinked trying to gain focus.

"It's 11 am!"

Mark looked up in mild surprise, his brows lifted slightly but the expression didn't reach his eyes which were still shadowed with lingering tiredness.

He let out a quiet breath, rubbing his eyes as he mumbled.
"I don't have any schedules today..." his voice sounded like a blend of sleepiness and exhaustion sounding hoarse and low, carrying that unmistakeable depth.

The faint shadow around his jaw made the lines of his beard slightly more defined as Hannah smiled gently now in his shirt and pecked him, her touch soft and familiar which startled him a bit.

"Go freshen up... I'll inform Minho and join the second half" she said quietly, brushing her thumb lightly against his cheek.

Mark shuffled into the washroom, dragging himself as he picked up the toothbrush and began brushing slowly.

Meanwhile Hannah picked up her phone and dialled Minho up, the call was connected after a few rings.
"Hello Minho, I can't join the first half today... Can you take up my schedule just for today?" Hannah requested.

A smile crept up her face after the approval, soon she hung up the call and dropped her phone on the bed and made her way to the washroom where Mark just rinsed his mouth and started shaving.

Their shared playlist was audible through his phone which was kept on one of the shelves, Hannah grabbed her brush from the stand where Mark placed his back.

As Mark carefully dragged his razor along his jaw, he glanced at Hannah who was now brushing beside him.
"I got to leave by evening, have an album discussion with the A&R." he said, his voice still a little rough as he focused on the mirror.

Hannah nodded at Mark's words as she stepped forward to wash up. He stepped back slightly giving her space, his t shirt sleeves came till her elbow.

After finishing up they both eventually took a shower one by one and soon settled on the living room couch as Hannah's eyes went to a note stuck on the centre table.

Final interview before my job selection, I've prepared breaky for both sleeping prince and princess. Eat well! And if I get selected I'm throwing a party, Mark you better join too!~

Mark smiled in surprise, remembering how the girl has been constantly working hard with internships and now finally she's going to be accepted was something which they both were happy for.

Hannah's phone buzzed, averting their gaze to the incoming face time and before she could reach for it, Mark glanced at the screen and gave her a lazy nod and a small hand gesture, signaling her to pick it up.

His head rested comfortably on her shoulder, his body sunk into the couch beside her with his eyes closed calmly.

She answered the call and Parker's face lit up the screen but almost immediately his eyes narrowed with mock suspicion.

"Uh... Did I call at a bad time?" He asked, squinting slightly.
"You too look way too cozy for my liking, should I hang up?" His teasing tone was obvious, even though Mark's face wasn't fully in view. Just the soft fall of his hair and the unmistakeable lean onto Hannah's side.

Hannah rolled her eyes at Parker's teasing, adjusting her phone so he could see her better.
"One day you'll fall in love and I'll tease you in the same way or even worse, because men in love are worse than women." She said, her tone being half annoyed and half playful.
