A Stranger {Youngjae, JB, 2Jae}

"I'll be so proud of him if he walks through that door and tells us positive news, though even if not, there are so many other places he can try to get into!" Lilah paced around the flat, making sure everything was clean as she waited impatiently for the return of Mark. Youngjae watched her quietly, she was mostly talking to herself rather than him. They both knew that Mark was talented, but the music industry is not an easy one to get into. The moment a key clicked into the lock both of their heads snapped towards the door and Coco ran to the door, greeting Mark. 

"How was it? They were nice right? You did well yes?" Lilah instantly walked to her brother, bombarding him with questions about how his day went. It was fair to say it was dinner time, and of course Lilah had dinner already prepared for them three. 

"Let me breathe," Mark chuckled as he hugged his sister, his eyes then finding Youngjae. Youngjae sent him a smile and went to make sure everything was set up ready for dinner. 

"I'm sorry I just been so worried and kind of excited at the same time, I know this is really important to you." Lilah tells Mark as they walk into the kitchen where Youngjae prepared bowls and chopsticks already. Their relationship made him almost envious, he never had that with any of his family, they disowned him. 

"I know, thank you." He smiles as the three sit at the table. "So I met a few new people today." Mark starts, Youngjae listens closely though looks into his food instead. He studied music because it was something he wanted to do, and he is working hard towards it, so whatever Mark had to say could be some what useful to him. "Youngjae, one of your friends was there." This makes Youngjae look up from his food.

"Who?" Considering Youngjae didn't really socialize with anyone other than Lilah, him and JB, he had no idea who Mark think he saw. 

"JB, he was there too," Mark smiles at Youngjae, who is confused. He knew that JB was into music, but he never replied to his message, was he avoiding him? Mark then goes on telling them all about his day, and Youngjae zones in and out at parts, watching Lilah and how proud she is of him. He hopes that one day he makes her proud too, she has done so much for him that he wants to show her it was all worth it. As Lilah and Mark get lost in the conversation, Youngjae's phone vibrates in his pocket. 

From: JB
Hey, sorry I've been really busy. Thanks for everything you've said. 

A small smile crept on Youngjae's face, though he didn't understand why he couldn't of told him that he was going to audition? He almost felt betrayed, but then again, he barely knew this boy, yet took a large liking to him. 

To: JB 
Hey, it's alright. 

"Youngjae-ah!" Lilah tries to get his attention, Youngjae looks from his phone and puts it back in his pocket, apologizing for not paying attention. "Mark was just saying that we should go out and celebrate tonight?" Lilah suggests. 

"I think I'll pass, I still have a university session to catch up on as I missed it," Youngjae didn't miss it, it was the session where he was too distracted about his stranger. 

"But JB said he'd come," Mark quickly adds, almost not allowing Youngjae to finish his sentence. Youngjae sighs, he knew that if he went he could get to know him more, which is exactly what he has wanted. 

"Fine, where we going?" Youngjae paid attention this time as they discussed the different clubs that the other two were suggesting. Youngjae didn't really go out very often, he didn't see the point in spending so much money in one night when the safer option was to stay in and get a healthy amount of sleep. 

After dinner Youngjae went up to his room to get ready for the night. Lilah said were something fancy but not too fancy, though Youngjae felt like that made it harder rather than easier. After a while of deciding and going through tonnes of clothes he decided on some black jeans and a black top. For a while he thought it was too dark, but he knew it was something he was comfortable in wearing. He put in a few earrings and slightly styled his hair, not over doing it but making sure that it is visible that he has made an effort.
