"Baby, say ahh..."

Mark sat on his seat with a sight that burned his eyes. It was Lucas feeding Donghyuck like he would to a baby, the scene reeking of public display of affection. Finding out that his husband still has his Ex's number was something, but going back in time and having to see them act all sweet was another type of jealousy. Something that Mark, deep inside, wanted to act all violent.

But being suspended because of violence was the last thing he wanted to have. His future still lies on the flow of his past.

"He has hands, for God's sake." Commenting about it was the only way to hold himself back from going mad.

"Mark, are you even listening?"

Obviously, he was not, but for the sake of not being put under hot seat as to what was distracting him, Mark diverted his eyes towards his friend who was sitting right in front of him. "Jaemin... and?"

Mark only heard one name from the lengthy rant that his friend was giving him. That was all he needed to know that this conversation was about that person. Jeno then let out a sigh of discomfort, not because no one was paying attention to him, but because of what he could remember from the short interaction he had with this certain person.

"I can't seem to get it off my head." Jeno started his story again.

"Why, what happened?" Munching on his burger aggressively, Mark glanced back at the couple he once was looking at a while ago.

"I remember I was looking for you, you never told me that you were at the library that time." And because Jeno was too busy with explaining, he didn't catch his friend not listening to him. "This guy was in my way. I was too upset to act decently. I pushed him."

Nodding his head, Mark was just agreeing to whatever his friend was talking about.

"Look, I'm still very interested in Renjun." Jeno said, putting a disclaimer before his friend would assume another possibility. "But I don't know why that Jaemin guy keeps on bothering me inside my head."

It was then that the mention of two names caused Mark to freeze from his place.
Finally, his full attention was now on Jeno.

"You met Jaemin?" Mark was so busy with figuring out how to fix this situation with Donghyuck that he had no idea what was going on with his friends' life. He thought that as long as he won't change anything then nothing will be ruined.

Though, it completely went out of his head that small details like not being there to where he is supposed to be is also considered as a change.

"Didn't you just hear me? I bumped into him." Jeno told him. He then had his forehead creased in curiosity, "Why do you keep on looking behind me? Is there anything more interesting than hearing about—"
