ꫂ twenty two

This is what Mark dreaded in traveling back in time. He had to repeat the same cycle again; studying. Sure, guessing people's future and fates are all fun and games— until he actually has to wake up to the fact that he also needs to study and pass his subjects. If this was either a curse or a blessing, he wanted it to be over and go back to his actual timeline where he already has a job, a loving husband, and an adorable son.

Clasping his hands together, Mark looked like he was praying and promising to the heavens above that he'll treat his family right this time around. He'll stop being a dick and will change his ways.

Jeno got out of his room and was greeted by the sight of his friend being in his religious state. Well, he had to respect it. "Amen."

Mark came back to his senses the moment he heard the male's voice. "Great! Now that you're here, come join me. Let's study together."

The friend's eyes scanned the living room and saw books piled up and papers scattered everywhere. That sight made him go dizzy. "Pass, I'll go out."

"On a Sunday evening?" That made Mark curious. "Where to?"

It took Jeno a few moments before answering that question. "Just somewhere."

Suspicious. Mark raised a brow when he caught a glimpse of his friend getting a glass to drink water; he was all dressed up. "Who are you going with?"

Jeno almost spat the water out from his mouth with that question. "Just... someone."

"And that someone is?" With arms crossed, Mark began to interrogate his friend with all the get up. Gelled up hair, leather jacket, expensive shoes— he just hoped he won't go where there is trouble. "Jeno, yesterday, you also went out. Who were you with?"

"You also went out! I never asked who you were with." Not like Jeno wanted to ask because he already knew who it was.

"With Donghyuck." Mark didn't care what his friend would think. His focus right now is to get him to confess what he has been up to lately. "And you?"

Jeno didn't want to tell him, he knows he'll get teased. "I'm late, I have to go—"

"Lee Jeno." Mark warned him with his tone.

And that's how Jeno ended up taking the space next to Mark on the sofa, sitting there and gathering the right words to explain the situation he is in. The scene looked like a dad scolding his son for hiding secrets from him. Technically, Mark is a parent stuck in his teenage body.

"Yesterday, Jisung told me Jaemin would go out." Jeno guessed that the younger one heard that information from a certain Chinese friend.

"So you met up with Jaemin yesterday?" Somehow, Mark wasn't worried anymore that the three are getting to know each other. The scene where they were introduced by both Jisung and Chenle was over, so, thank God. One less problem to think of.
