yugyeom wanted to thank mark before their class together so when he got to school, he found youngjae and jaebeom and asked jaebeom if he knew whether mark was at school yet or not and if so, where he would be.
"he's at his locker." jaebeom told yugyeom what hall mark's locker was in as it wouldn't be hard to see him in the empty hallway.
yugyeom spotter mark sitting on the floor against some lockers, looking at his phone with his airpods in his ears, like usual.
yugyeom made his way over, almost turning around multiple times but he had to thank mark. mark didn't have to buy him a brand new phone but he did and yugyeom couldn't just pretend he wasn't extremely grateful.
he knelt down before tapping mark on the shoulder. he had hoped to get his attention before having to touch him so he didn't scare the elder but it didn't work. he saw mark jump a little but quickly play it off.
he didn't say anything as mark looked him up and down before just looking up at him expectantly.
"i just really wanted to say thank you. you didn't need to buy me a phone but you did and i really appreciate it."
"i know i didn't need to, yugyeom, i wanted to," mark said before gesturing to in front of him, "sit down."
yugyeom did as he was told and sat down in front of mark. he grabbed his new phone out of his back pocket so he didn't set on it.
"my mama wanted me to say thank you for her," yugyeom told mark, playing with his own hand because he didn't want to look at mark as if he thought the elder was medusa.
"a mama's boy," mark thought, watching yugyeom avoid eye contact with him. he thought it was cute.
"how's your new phone?" mark asked. he was happy to glance up and see yugyeom smiling as he looked down at the phone.
"it's really amazing. thank you so much. i was planning on buying one once i got a job and saved up the money but i didn't know when it would be. but now i can just pay you back how much it was."
"no. i got it for you. you don't need to pay my back and i won't let you."
"but-" mark shook his head, not letting yugyeom finish his sentence. yugyeom huffed to himself and pouted. "thank you."
mark nodded, accepting the thanks silently, and stood up. he held his hand out to help yugyeom up because people had started getting to school and class would start soon.
"i'll see you later, yugyeom."
yugyeom nodded before speed walking to his locker half way across the school so he made sure so he would get to class on time. he hadn't realized how much time had gone by while he sat there with mark but he didn't have time to wait around before going to class.
yugyeom still couldn't believe that mark gave him a phone. he had always known mark as mean but he'd only been nice to him.
his friends were just as confused because they had had experiences with mark that led to them disliking him. they were suspicious that he had motives for being so nice to yugyeom, a boy who trusted people extremely easily once they were nice to him.
