--------------------

"CHRIS!" I flinch at the greeting as does Jackson.

"Loverboy is home," He teases. I sigh and we pause the game and meet the others at the common area.

"You know, for a quiet person, you're pretty loud," I mutter as I was suddenly attacked by a leech.

"You're still here! You're usually gone at this time!" He says cheerfully. I try to push him away, but to no avail he holds on.

"Well I have reasons to be gone at this time, but today-"

"UNCLE MAWK!" the pitter patter of feet rushes into the room and I am instantly released as he picks Miguel up and twirls him around.

"You've gotten so big! What happened?" Mark raves as he takes a good look at Miguel.

"Momma said that if I sleep early and eat healthy I'll grow big and strong!" Miguel answers and I smile.

"He's so big now!" Jinyoung says at the side.

"Yeah I was surprised when I first saw him too," Jackson tells him.

"How old is he now?" JB asks ruffling Miguel's hair.

"He's going to be starting his second year of primary school next August," I tell them.

"Wow! Time has passed!" BamBam says. I nod and smile as they play with Miguel as if they did not have a full day of schedules.

"Everything okay?" Mark asks as he sits next to me and hands me a drink.

"Thanks. Everything is good. Jackson and I have literally been playing games for days. I've finally gotten the hang of it and we're able to really play together," I say raving about my new found interest in gaming.

"You were always one for gaming, Chris," Mark mentions.

"Yeah, but it's been a while. We even played with some other idols that you guys play with," I explain.

"Jackson? He sucks at gaming," He laughs incredulously.

"Yah! Yah! I'm not that bad. I just give up playing it," Jackson defends. "Chris is good though. Youngjae, you should play with her!"

"Really? Noona, you play?" Youngjae's eyes sparkle and is filled with excitement.

"I just started and had Jackson as a teacher..soo," I shrug.

"Minhyuk hyung approves!" Jackson says. "We played with him earlier! I asked Younghwa hyung, but he said Minhyuk hyung was better."

"So you played LOL?" Youngjae asks and I nod. "Let's gogogogogog!"

He pulls me up and hurries me to his room and puts me in front of his computer. He leaves coming back with someone else's and sets it up right next to me.

"Let's play!" he says excitedly. I just go along with it and the guys went to get snacks before joining us. Of course Youngjae was exceptionally better, but he taught me a lot more than what Jackson could. "Daebak! You have skills, Noona!"

"I feel like I just wasted a good amount of my life," I mutter already feeling the dark circles forming under my eyes.

"I got this!" I hear Jackson scream as he leaves his room and comes back with a face mask. He opens it up and slaps it on my face.

"YAH!" I yell, but he hushes me and fixes it on my face. The others snicker but don't do anything.

"Noona, did you make the Naengmyeon?" Yugyeom asks as he and BamBam come in eating a mouthful of it.

"That looks good," Jinyoung says and leaves the room only to be followed by JB.

"Yeah, I figured it'd be a good choice for the hot weather," I say.

"It's good," Mark says sitting on the bed next to Miguel who was asleep.

"Did you have some?" I ask.

"Yeah, while you were playing," He answers. I nod and smile. I glance at the clock and figured it would be best for me to leave. "Stay a bit. Miguel just fell asleep. Let him get a few more minutes."

"Alright, is it okay for him to sleep here?" I ask.

"Yeah that's fine, it's just me and JB here. We probably won't sleep for a while," Youngjae says. I nod and we file out of the room. They shut off the light and close the door.

"So what now?" BamBam asks.

"I don't know. Aren't you guys tired?" I ask.

"It's still early. It's actually one of our shorter days," Jinyoung says.

"Oooh, that's cool," I say. "Have you guys been preparing for concerts?"

"Yeah, we've already have some coming up!" Yugyeom says excitedly.

"Sounds good!" I reply just as excited.

"You should come," Mark says.

"I'm with Jackson, remember?" I remind him. A look of realization fills his face and he nods.

"Sorry," Jackson apologizes and I quickly shake my head.

"Nonono, don't be sorry, Jackson. I enjoy accompanying you here. I can always go to watch you guys when you're all together. I'd rather see all of you guys on stage together than not," I say. They smile and nod.

"Always better when all seven of us are on stage," JB says. We all tease him for the sappy comment, but we all know it's true. Everyone goes off talking about random things that happened today and about a lot of other topics. It reminds me of times with friends where we would just hang out and talk. I feel saddened at the lost memories, but am happy to be here.

"I miss this," Mark says quietly as if reading my mind. I look over at him and he is just watching everyone interact. I smile and hum in agreement. I turn back at them and lay my head on his shoulder. He stiffens, but relaxes in a second. He scoots closer and grabs my hand. I stare down at it and move it to my lap and play with his fingers.

"You have really nice hands," I mumble.

"Huh?" he leans down to hear me better. I turn to look at him and slightly smile at the closeness. I lean towards his ear and repeat myself. His ear turns red and I chuckle. I lean my head back on his shoulder and look back down at our hands. "Seriously, the things you do to me."

"What do I do to you?" I lean back and face him and teasingly raise a brow. He smirks and narrows his eyes. He leans closer, but I lean back further. "You haven't answered."

His eyes flicker momentarily towards my lips and I instinctively run my tongue over and bite it. My own look down on his to see him do the same. Our eyes meet, but I fight the urge and turn to face the others only to see them staring back at us. My eyes widen and I blush. Mark chuckles and pulls my head towards his chest.

"Mind your own business," Mark says, but I can hear his embarrassment. The guys doesn't let it go and continue to tease us. I burry my face further into his chest and grab his shirt. "You guys...really..."
