Chapter 29

The volume of the music was just right, but it was too loud for Mark's liking. They were at Renjun's house, celebrating his birthday with him.

While the others were eating and having fun, he was just sitting at the living room, watching them have fun. He sighed and drank the beer in his hand in a gulp.

"Jungwoo-hyung, can you please play the next music?" Renjun said, running downstairs.

Jungwoo nodded since he was the nearest to the speaker, and Renjun's phone which was the source of their music. He clicked next and they all turned to look at Mark when the music played.

They remembered that he hated music.

He just shook his head, "It's Renjun's birthday, why are you looking at me?"

They just sighed.

"yunanhi naegen
chagabgo chuun gyeourin geureon nal
tto han haega nal
ijeun deut jinagatteon geureon bam"

It was
An especially cold winter day for me
A night that felt like
This year just forgot about me

Renjun started to sing the song. Mark just glared at him and opened another can of beer.

"uyeonhi nae ape seo itneun neo
naege han julgi bit gatasseo
nugudo chajawajuji anteon
eodubdeon nae haneure
jageun byeori dweeo
hwanhage bichwo jun neo"

But you stood before me coincidentally
Like a single ray of light
In my dark sky
Where no one came
You became a small star
And brightly shined for me

This time, Haechan sang the verse.

"Can you guys shut up?" Mark rolled his eyes. He knew that his friends are just gonna tease him.

"gyeoure kkeuteseo nan
bomi dweeojun neol mannan geon
Oh miracle naegen neomudo
gijeok gateun irin geol
nega on huro nan
ijeneun gyeouri chubjimaneun ana
nal baraboneun
nega itgie yeah"

At the tip of winter
I met you, who became my spring
Oh miracle
It's such a miracle
After you came
My winters aren't so cold anymore
Because I have you
Who looks at me, yeah

Renjun and Chenle sang the verse.

"Why are you guys singing this? I can't even relate." Mark scoffed.

"amudo chatji anteon nae mam
buldo kyeojiji anteon nae bang
meonji gadeuk ssahyeo
deopyeogadeon naye kkumdeuri
neoreul manna dashi kkaeeo
hyeonshiri dweeoga
gijeogiya nega
nae ape natanan geu sungan"

No one looked for my heart
The lights weren't turned on in my room
Only dust covered my dreams
But after I met you
They woke up
And became reality
You're a miracle
The moment you appeared before me

Taeyong sang the part while grinning at his brother mischievously.

"Hyung?! I thought you were on my side?!" Mark said.
