"oh you're in chin— YOU'RE IN CHINA?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE? Nana, you know you can't survive without someone with you because you'll be stubborn and eat food that you're not supposed to eat! Go back, now! or just come here with me—"

[calm down, hyuck. i'm alright! nothing could go wrong. I promise you, i won't eat food that i shouldn't. i promise. plus, i asked for a rest for the whole year from your mother. and i'm not gonna stop until i find him.]

donghyuck's not speaking due to shock that his best friend left the country all by himself. he's worried. as hell. he's risking himself for a boy who already left him.

[come on, hyuck. believe me, I'll be perfectly fine. I'll stay alive as possible. and you'll still see me.]

"FINE. But you have to report everyday to me, do you understand? and why do you have to find that guy? he already left you so what's the point?"

[hyuck... are you really going to talk about this? i thought you're going to support me. i guess you're just like everybody else.]

"nana— hello? nana? NANA!"

donghyuck knows he fucked up. he made his best friend mad. jaemin gets mad rarely. but he just did. he just wants the best for him.

5 days later

hyuck got bored for just staying inside for 5 days, he already gained weight by just eating and sleeping.

he looked at the mirror, "oh god i look awfully disgusting. i need to get a job. i need to workout. i need to diet. i need to leave this house. i need to get off my phone. I NEED A LIFE."

•••

when he opened the door of his room, he saw jennie and lisa watching a movie in the living room.

"where are you going?" jennie asked.

"i need a job, nini. look at me. i look fat and disgusting. but i don't know where to start." he just realized that he's just new to the city and don't know where to start.

"ask renjun! he said he's just near. anyways, you have his phone number. just ask for help." lisa told him.

he thanked lisa and left the dorm. he called renjun, because he doesn't know where he actually lives.

"hello? its me, donghyuck. you told me to call you when we need help? well now i do."

[took you long enough] he chuckled

[i'm just beside your apartment.]

call ended.

he walked himself to renjun's doorstep completely forgetting about renjun's best friend who lives with him.

he knocked three times. it opened, but its not renjun.

when the boy saw donghyuck, he shut the door immediately. which made donghyuck confused and disrespected.

the door opened once again, revealing renjun.

"oh hey, donghyuck. sorry about that. it was my best friend. he's still not good around strangers. anyways, what do you need?"

"uhh... right. oh, do you know any job i can get in? i mean, i can't just watch netflix and eat all day. i need a job. oh and do you know any gym around?" he asked, as nice as he could.

"what are you into? i mean, what can you do? any passion?"

"oh, how disrespectful of me, come in." he opened the door and let him in.

but before donghyuck could even step inside their lovely home, mark ran all the way to his room.

since the floor is wooden, both of them heard him run. and chuckled in unison.

mark hid inside him room, flustered.

"t-that can't be haechan."
