Ball's in Yourt Court 🌞 MarkHyuck [⏹]

I've gotta go talking to him

Looking for someone, Haechan kept running back and forth, but not without purpose.

Getting out of the classroom, he stepped into the corridor. Walking towards the next class and peeking inside through a wide-open door. Neither did he find Mark's figure there nor contact him at all. Seeing Mark before the morning bell, he knew very well Mark came to school today.

He therefore was looking for him everywhere when convinced that his boyfriend was still on school grounds.

He met Jeno when looking around. Asking if he knew where Mark had gone, but Jeno just shrugged and told him he doesn't know.

"You're his best friend. How can you not know?" Haechan said, voice demanding.

"He didn't say anything to me. So I really don't know where he is." Jeno doesn't like any type of confrontation.

Haechan was desperate. He ruffled his hair brutally, he was too exhausted to be doing this. Plus, these days he got tired much more easier. Haechan tried to hold back, but he wanted to cry. There were suspicions, but he did not want to know what Mark did all this. He was not interested in hurting even more than he already was.

"If you see him, please tell him I'm looking for him. He's not answering his phone."

"Why are you looking for him anyway? You can see him later after school, can't you? This time is supposedly used to focus on your education."

Haechan let out a small chuckle, Jeno was not aware of the situation, so he thought the best friend of his lover was not entitled to say so.

Haechan then told Jeno something that surprised him.

"OK. I'll tell him that you're looking for him, if I see him."

Haechan thanked to him, and went on to continue to look for his boyfriend. Every now and then, he paused to catch his breath again, holding his sore lower abdomen.

Jeno kept paying attention to Haechan's figure up to completely disappear from the view term. He shrugged, then walked toward the parking lot.

He stepped toward one of the dozens of cars lined up neatly and entered the one all the way at the end. Someone was eating a bag of potato chips without a single care, listening to pop music through headphones. The faint sound of music and chips is what Jeno hears.

"Where's mine?" Jeno asked. Without looking at him, the teen threw Jeno the variety bag, and continued to eat.

"Haechan is looking for you. I think you gotta stop avoiding him. Don't you feel bad for ignoring your own boyfriend?"

"He is just so annoying. Every day he is bugging me with incessive talking. I'm more comfortable like this, where he can't find me.

"More comfortable like this? Are you sure? Locking yourself in your parents' car every break is what you'd call comfortable?" He shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Mark could be so cruel to his boyfriend.

"I'll do anything to avoid that kid." Mark said.

Jeno took a sip out of his stolen juice box, not even bothering to ask permission. Mark looks at him for a second, but just ignores it.

"At least turn on your cell phone. It's not just Haechan who can't contact you, no one can, not even me."

Mark glanced playfully, "I'll turn my phone back on in due time Jeno."

"I can't believe you for real Mark. You're really going continue to treat him like this? How can you be so mean to your pregnant boyfriend?"

The last sentence is what makes Mark finally remove the headphones. He turned to his best friend with a pair of interlocked eyebrow, "What are you saying?"

Just rolling his eyes, Jeno did not eager to answer his friend.

"I'm his boyfriend, why did he make you first person to know his pregnancy?!" Mark protested.

"I see that you still consider him to be your boyfriend. I thought you're avoiding him."

"I've gotta go talk to him."

Unfortunately for Mark, the bell goes off, signalling the break is over.
