10 | defeating me

AERI

jisung smiled ridiculously, and made his last move. "checkmate." he spoke with the most satisfied, and proud tone i have ever heard from him.

my jaw dropped, and i heard a laugh from him. he pointed a finger at me, and stuck a tongue out. "haha, i defeated you." he stood up, dancing his victory dance.

ah, this boy has grown up so fast.

"i can't believe he defeated you." mark said, who was laying on his bed with a marvel comic on his hands. "yeah, same i can't believe he defeated me...." i said, still confused and shocked.

the door opened, revealing a boy with a basketball on his hands. "hi hyuck!" i happily said, waving my hand to him. he stared at me, then looked at mark and jisung.

"have you seen chenle, jaemin and jeno? they told me to meet them outside to play basket, but they aren't there." donghyuck asked confusedly, wondering where those boys are.

mark thought hardly. "i don't know actually, do you know sung?" mark asked the youngest, but he cluelessy shrugged his shoulders.

"i think i saw them walk in the art room, to check at renjun." i said, giving him the most possible information.

"k." he simply replied. "goodbye hyuc-" before i could finish my sentence, he already shut the door leaving a big bang that made us flinch.

after that, the boys continued what they were doing. mark continued reading with crossed legs, while jisung started dancing, freestyle.

"mark?" i asked with a soft voice, and glanced at him. we made eye contact, he hummed as a response.

"is hyuck angry at me?" i asked, and squeezed my skirt i had on. mark eyed me, smiling while laughing softly. "no of course he isn't, there's just something complicated he can't say to you."

i furrowed my eyebrows. "what is it?"

mark shook his head, then looked back at his comic, signaling he wasn't allowed to say it.

a complicated thing, what is it?

what happened to hyuck? why is he acting so arrogant, and cruel? not really to the others, but to me. did i do something wrong, that made him upset? i want to know, if he keeps doing this to me i will turn.... crazy.

note: don't mess up my tempo!!!!!!!!! oooh oooh!
