"don't work the same these days, it's clear we've both had enough."

"i don't get it," mark sighed as he took a sip in the milkshake he was drinking.

"what is it that you don't get? the fact that nothing's happening with your club, or the fact that nobody's signing up because it's a flop?" renjun backfired, probably making mark rethink everything he's done.

jisung nodded, agreeing at what his older friend said, "maybe johnny hyung was right, this isn't for you, mark-hyung..."

"why don't you join us—"

"how about a no?"

"wow i really appreciate your support." mark rolled his eyes, sighing afterwards. "but it's not what i meant..."

"then what seems to be the problem?" this time, it was jeno who asked.

"it's been almost two weeks since i've set up the club, and as of now, only donghyuck has signed up. the meetings every afternoon became studying hours for the two of us." renjun, jisung and jeno looked at their friend who looked like he was daydreaming.

"is that heart eyes i see?" jeno raised a brow.

mark immediately snapped from his thoughts, looking at his best friends. "wha- no!" he sighed, "actually, i don't know..."

"what do you mean?" jisung asked.

"the day he signed up, i immediately found hin attractive... and there was a part of me who wanted to kill the person who made him cry... i don't know... now, he's getting better, and trust me, i'm happy to see that he's happy... but i don't want him to leave the club..." mark pulled his hair out of frustration.

"so you mean to say—" renjun was cut off when mark signaled him to stop. he saw that his older friend was looking at a certain direction. he raised a brow and looked at the direction mark was looking at.

a tanned male entered the cafeteria with two other boys, and those boys were crying. donghyuck looked pissed and worried at the same time. renjun looked at mark who was looking at the male who was in the middle. he shook his head when he saw how awestruck mark looked.

renjun looked at the other boy, which was on the tanned male's right side. he's the tallest among the three. his eyes and nose were red, his lips was also swollen. let's not even talk about how disheveled his hair was. and as if time stopped for renjun. the boy he was looking at looked so devastated, but how can he appear so beautiful in renjun's eyes.

"oh... is he..." renjun was about to ask something, but his words weren't that coherent as of the moment. mark just nodded, understand what his friend was about to say.

"chenle, where in 'they're just using you for money' do you not understand? they never loved you. they just took you for granted!" the tanned male took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. he looked at his younger friend who remained silent while looking down. chenle was probably tired of crying, and so is donghyuck. he's tired of hearing the same reasons over and over again.
