Falling for Mark Tuan | (Sequel) | Markson

Chapter 7 | Ready?

Mature conversations |

"The party starts at 7, but it doesn't actually start until 9. Finishes at Midnight but doesn't actually finish until 2 in the morning," Jinyoung told me as we walked to the little shop on campus to buy some food that the both of us eat.
"Cool, thanks."
"It's a pool party, but you don't have to wear any swimwear."
"I'll probably just wear jeans."
"Me too."
"Is it that guy who's friends with Tae...min? Taemin? And Jonghyun?"
"That's him. Also hangs around Kibum and Jinki."
"I thought so."
"I'll be there if you need anything. Anything at all. Even if you get lost for 2 seconds just text me and I'll be there right away."
"I'm sure I won't need it-"
"Just in case. I would hate to have my roommate in trouble."
"Thanks, Jinyoung."
"Are any of your friends going?"
"Yeah. Wonho because he's a party boy, Changkyun wanted to experience a college party, Hyungwon and Minhyuk got dragged along and Shownu had to go to supervise. Kihyun and Jooheon will probably end up going, they say they aren't but they probably will."
"Is Wonho the one I met ages ago? The nudes one?"

I couldn't help but laugh, out of all things to remember Wonho by, he is remembered as the guy with nudes.

"That's Wonho. Changkyun is the other guy who was there."
"And Shownu is the really tough looking guy who you hang out with?"
"Yep."
"I don't think I know anyone else... what were their names?"
"Kihyun, Minhyuk, Hyungwon and Jooheon."
"I should meet them one day."

No, you shouldn't. They'll hate you.

"You should, they'll love you."

That was the end of the conversation, because we arrived and bought at least 3 weeks worth of food and drinks.

"If it starts at 7, that means we need to start getting ready at 6, which means I need to be mentally prepared by 5, that means I have an hour until I need to start getting prepared," Minhyuk spoke aloud.
"That's awfully planned out," I commented.
"I need to be at my very best for this party, Mark."
"It's not big deal."
"Not a big deal?! Not a big deal?!! Are you crazy?" Changkyun piped in, his jaw dropped.
"How is it a big deal?" I asked, holding back my laughter.
"It's our first college party! The first party that sets our reputation! If Wonho acts like a fuc-"
"Don't you mean, when?" Wonho added mid-sentence.
"-boy, he'll be knows as one for the rest of the college years," Changkyun explained.
"So if I act like an antisocial loser-"
"Don't you mean, when?" Wonho added mid-sentence again.
"I'll be known as a- Wonho shut up- antisocial loser."
"Correct! If Shwonu acts like a dad the whole time, he'll be known as a-"
"Daddy." Wonho finished for Changkyun.

It was probably intentional, considering Wonho said it. But I've never laughed so hard in my life as soon as the word left his mouth.

"You know it," Shownu mumbled as he wrote notes down in his book.
"It's one thing to hear it, another to admit it," Kihyun gagged.
"Something tells me, he's a daddy to more than just us," Jooheon smirked.
"Literally no one talks to me so that's not possible."
"Exactly," Hyungwon added, followed by a thoughtful silence.

"I hate you guys," was all Shownu said before he engrossed himself back into studying.
"Love you!" Changkyun sang.

"Okay I'm going to start getting ready now, I'll meet you guys back here," Minhyuk spoke and rose from the couch he was sitting on.
"I'm going with Jackson, so I'll see you guys there."
"What?!" Everyone gasped in unison, even Shownu.
"I know! I know! It's nothing special, just going to the party together."
"Sure it's 'just going to the party together', I bet you're going to make out with him all night," Kihyun grumbled, annoyed by the fact I wasn't going with them.
"Excuse me, I can make out with who I want to thanks."
"Yeah, with your emotionally abusive ex," Jooheon chimed in.
"Who has changed and realised his mistakes. Anyway, this is revenge more than anything. He deserves it." I defended myself, standing from Shownu's bed.
"Sure sure, just don't get in his pants until the third date," Wonho advised. sending me a wink.
"It's not like you can talk," I joked.
"Yeah, more like the third kiss in Wonho's case," Changkyun added.
"Just leave already!" Wonho yelled at me, covering his red face.
"K bye!" I yelled before rushing out the door.
