MEDIUM HUH?

"Chenle! It's been a hot minute since I've talked to you son. I've been so busy with work lately, especially with your mother gone, it's just been hectic. How is it over there in Korea, huh? Are you doing okay?"

"It's been really nice, dad and I'm doing fine over here. I miss you."

"Aw, I miss you too kiddo."

"H-Hey, dad?"

"Yeah?"

"I-I was wondering i-if I could t-transfer my studies to o-over here in Korea. Like stay abroad." There he said it. Now he just had to wait for a response.

There was a moment of silence, causing Chenle to feel even more anxiety build up in his system.

"Is your mother okay with this?"

He unconsciously nodded his head, but then realized that his father couldn't see him, "Y-Yes, she is."

"The you have my consent Chenle, besides I think this is a great opportunity for you to explore somewhere other than China. I'll tell Kun everything he needs to know and he should be with you in a few days. You do have a place to stay right? If not I can send over some money for you to get yourself an apartment or something--"

"Dad! Chill! I have a place to stay, don't worry." The worriment he felt vanished after hearing his father go on his protective ramblings. He didn't mind them honestly, it was quite funny from time to time.

"Okay, Chenle. Just make sure to take care of yourself and call me and your mother whenever you can, alright? Take care, love you bubs."

"Love you too dad." The phone call was cut off and Chenle took a moment to just process what just happened.

He could stay in Korea. With Jisung and everyone else. Both of his parents approve.

Chenle couldn't help but let out a loud squeal of joy, "WHOOOO! I'M STAYING!"

"Woah, what's got you in such a happy-go-lucky mood?" The door opened to his temporary room at the Lee's and in peeked in Jeno with a confused look.

"I get to stay here, in Seoul, with everyone!"

"That's great news man! Just wait till Jisung comes back and hear's this--"

"Wait." Yes, Chenle knew this was a bit cruel, but the boy just wanted to pull a little prank okay?

"What? What's with that look. I don't like that look--Chenle."

"C'mon, hyung. Please?" The younger begged, dragging out the please and giving the elder male puppy eyes.

"Fine, but you owe me food."

"Deal!"

Jisung and Jaemin returned back to Donghyuck's house, thinking that they would be greeted by their significant others, but no, that wasn't the case. There were suitcases at the entrance of the place, in which Jisung identified were Chenle's.

"What's going on?" Jisung wondered out loud, brows furrowed at the sight in front of them.

"Jisung, you're back. On time too, thank god." Chenle then appeared walking down the stairs. His features were grim, a frown resting on his lips.

That's when it clicked for both Jisung and Jaemin.

"Don't tell me..." Jaemin started.

"I'm sorry. I need to go back. My dad needs me at the moment, and it's pretty inventible." His words were quite convincing, making Jisung's smile turn upside-down instantly.

First, the news about Mark, then this? This day just couldn't get any better huh?

"If so, make sure to call everyday okay? Or whenever you can. I'll miss you very much." By now, Jisung and Jaemin fully entered the house, closing the door behind them. Chenle made his way to where the two males were, along with his suitcases.

"Ditto. Make sure you come back here and visit us as well." Jaemin added on, then gave the younger male a tight hug.

Letting go, Jaemin ruffled his green locks then left the scene so that Jisung and him could get some alone time.

"Do you really have to go?" Jisung asked, his voice much quieter than usual.

Chenle made his way over to the male, standing in front of him whilst cupping his cheeks. Upon seeing Jisung's tear brimmed eyes and reddening nose, he decided that this prank should come to an end right about now.

"If you mean go move into your house, then yes, yes I really do have to go." Chenle's grim expression was quickly replaced with his signature smile.

Jisung's eyes widened as he slapped the elder's chest, "Zhong Chenle you evil dolphin!"

In a matter of seconds, the area was filled with Chenle's dolphin laugh and Jisung whining, repeating 'I hate you's'.

Up at the top of the staircase stood both Jeno and Jaemin, simply enjoying the show put on for them by the two youngest.

"You two are so cruel." Jaemin exclaimed, shaking his head disappointingly.

"It was his idea, not mine! Plus, he promised food."

"Oh, the power of food."

"Where's Donghyuck?" The question was asked by the one and only Mark.

Everyone had gathered for dinner, and there was still no sign of the boy. Yuhyun was also getting worried, as well as the rest of the boys.

"You two were in school with him. What happened?" Yuhyun asked, directing it to the two males sitting in front of her.

"We last saw him at lunch. He was in a pissy mood and stormed off. We thought he just needed some space so we didn't bother to go looking for him after school." Jaemin answered honestly.

A sigh left the woman's lips, "He's probably at the old playground of his primary school if I'm not mistaken. I'll go pick him up--"

"No, I can go. Just tell where it is and I can go get him." Yuhyun looked at Mark with a tinge of fondness in her eyes. She saw how the boy really cared about her son, and she was glad that Donghyuck had found someone as caring as him. Mark really was the son of Mikyung, he resembled her a lot.

He was just as caring and serious when he needed to be. Like mother like son.

"It shouldn't be that far from here. A ten minute walk at most. Just walk straight down the street until you see a yellow building. It's quite hard to miss really." She instructed, tone soft and calm.

"Thank you, and I'll make sure to bring him back safe and sound." With that, everyone watched Mark speed out of the dining room to go fetch his sunshine.
