The day began with nothing but just the old pure silence that he was already used to by now. It's not so big of a deal anymore since he likes silence more than the senseless noises that he doesn't wish to hear. He has oddly grown fond to it.
As he was about to take a shower, he heard his phone ring, he had received a text message.
>> Hey man, you comin' to school today right?
Smiling for the reason that his best friend kept on checking up on him if he was fine, he replied:
<< I'm fine already, so yeah.
He threw his phone lightly on his bed and went on to the bathroom. After preparing himself, he left the house in silence with a smile on his face.
On his way, a lot of people from his school greeted him, asking if he was okay and how he was feeling and he responded with a soft smile and thanked them for even asking.
When he arrived in front of the school gate, he found his best friend slightly leaning his back on the gate wall, knee bent, one hand on his pocket, looking so cool while talking to someone he knows.
He smiled while looking at them, showing his usual eye smile that practically hides his eyes to everybody who's watching him. Many were looking at him yet chose to not interrupt and just head on to their classroom instead.
When he was about to walk past them, he heard someone shout his name.
"Jeno!"
He turned his head to where the voice had came from, and saw Mark come running towards him which made Jeno smile once more.
"Why'd you didn't come near us? If Yuta-hyung hadn't mentioned that you've arrived when he saw you, I'd be there all day, waiting for you," he ranted as he was now in front of the Jeno.
"I was afraid I might disturb the both of you if I did, Mark," he simply replied.
"You know you won't. Stop saying stuff like that all the time," and Mark had his usual poker face on, earning a chuckle from Jeno.
"Alright."
"C'mon, let's go," Mark said, motioning the other to go inside.
Jeno nodded, adjusting the backpack's strap he had on one of his shoulders as he followed behind Mark.
Both were now headed inside the school building. It was a little early compared to the usual days they went to their first class so they took their time.
As both made their way, Mark was talking about something to Jeno; some movie he and his older brother had watched the night before. It might not look like it but Jeno wasn't listening. He was smiling at the other, occasionally nodding if the situation where Mark needed a reaction for his slightly younger friend arises, but yeah, he wasn't paying attention, not at the slightest.
Mark knew but wasn't exactly fazed and continued talking even though the other wasn't listening.
Jeno not listening was something Mark was very much used to now for all the years that they've known each other. The other was easily distracted by his own thoughts and had the attention span of an infant after all.
Jeno and Mark have been friends for as long as both of them could remember. Their parents have been friends before either of them was born and even if Mark lived at Canada for most of his life.
They were pretty fond of each other. They share the same interest in music and sports, so they became friends easily.
Mark was an easy going type kind of person, he was friends with a lot of people, but Jeno would always be the closest friend he has.
