"I wonder why Mark doesn't play with you guys anymore." Taeyong wondered. He was sitting with some of the Dreamies as the others haven't arrived yet. It was only him, Ten, Lucas, Chenle, Jisung, and Renjun.

"He hasn't even visited the dorm for two weeks." Chenle pouted. Their dorm felt even more empty without his visits.

"I miss bullying him." Renjun added.

"I think it has something to do when Mark talked with Jeno that one time. Ever since then they never talked with each other." Jisung said. "Namu and I left right away so I don't know what they talked about."

"If they talked about what I think they did then things are going to be messy." Taeyong sighed. The three younger ones had question marks written on their faces. "If they both like Namu it's going to be a problem. They have to get through her brother first."

"Now that you mention it, why is Namu's brother so over protective?" Renjun asked. "And how do you know Namu's brother?"

"It's not my place to say." Taeyong answered. "But I could say that Mark and Namu had a thing before."

"Good morning." Namu greeted, trudging into the practice room. She was still groggy from her midmorning nap and wanted to sleep again.

"Good morning sapling." Ten teased. It had become a thing to call her sapling instead of Namu because of her height.

"Fuck off Chittaporn." Namu grumbled, sitting down beside Lucas. He looked up from his phone to greet her but was shocked to see her appearance.

"Why are you wearing a skirt?" Lucas asked. She wore a high-waisted skirt with an oversized graphic tee tucked in.

"Oh this? My brother forgot to hang our clothes after I washed them so I have no choice. I have safety shorts under anyway." Namu answered. "This is actually one of his shirts."

"The others are still stuck in traffic. They'll be here in about 20 minutes." Chenle announced.

A lightbulb seemed to turn on in Renjun's head as he approached Ten. The two talked for a bit before Renjun pushed the elder towards Namu.

"To make it quick why not teach me the my dance break?" Ten asked.

"Since when were you productive?" Namu huffed. She got up and stretched with Ten. "You guys warm up too, okay?"

"Yes ma'am."

Namu and Ten went off to their own little corner as she began to teach him the dance break. She was open to his suggestions as she wasn't really good at making the steps as fluid as him.

Twenty minutes pass and almost everyone was present. Jeno had just arrived and placed his things with his unit.

"Where's Namu?" He asked. He had stopped by the store to buy her favorite drink. Jungwoo pointed to where Namu and Ten were.

Jeno's eyes widened when he saw her wearing a skirt. She had to keep adjusting her skirt which made him worried. He dug through his bag and took his extra jogging pants.

"I knew it was going to work." Renjun proudly said. He patted his own shoulder, ready to tell the Wingman squad about the progress.

"Namu." Jeno called. Namu looked back and smiled when she saw Jeno. Ten took it as a sign to leave and join the other members.

"You need something?" She asked. He pointed to her skirt. "Does it look weird?"

"I thought it might make you feel uncomfortable to practice in that so I want to lend you this." Jeno answered. He handed her his extra jogging pants which she took.

"Is it really okay for me to use this?" Namu asked.

"Just go get changed." Jeno said, pushing her to the door.

"Everyone warm up! We'll start when I get back." She managed to say before Jeno fully pushed her out of the room.

Everyone got up and Johnny decided to lead the warm up. Doyoung nudged Jeno who raised a brow at him.

"What was that all about?" Doyoung questioned.

"I just thought she might feel uncomfortable." Jeno mumbled.

"Really? Or is it the fact her legs were exposed?" Doyoung teased. Jeno elbowed his side without a second thought.

"She's in a room with a lot of guys. As much as she trusts us she might feel too exposed." He explained. "Even if she's wearing safety shorts they're still fitted."

"Whatever you say." Doyoung said.

Jeno didn't want to admit the fact that he didn't want anyone to stare at Namu during practice. He knew it would be awkward if her skirt revealed too much. It made his blood boil thinking about it.

Namu walked in and placed her skirt in her bag. It was definitely big on her but she pulled it off really well. It made her look even more tiny though.

"Adorable."

💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

"That's it for today. We'll start polishing tomorrow." Namu said. "Congratulations we finished choreography for Black on Black."

The boys cheered and clapped as they only needed to do the polishing which was going to be hard. Mark quietly approached Namu while everyone was talking.

"What's up dork?" Namu greeted. She saw the serious look on Mark's face. "You look dead in the inside should that be concerning?"

His eyes become glossy and at this point Namu was alarmed. She grabbed her bag and quickly dragged Mark out of the room. She brought him to the private lounge and made him sit down.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I don't think I can handle it anymore." Mark's voice was shaky as he finally gave in to the tears. "Namu I don't think I can handle anymore pressure. I'm tired I can't do it anymore."

Namu pulled him into a tight hug. She knew Mark was having a hard time, but she didn't know it was this bad. For the past four years she had always been there to comfort him and vice versa.

"It's okay, Minhyung. Just let it out and breathe." Namu comforted. She rubbed his back as he sobbed into her shoulder. She texted Johnny with her free hand to let him know it was happening again.

"Should I just quit?"

Namu cupped his cheeks and looked him in the eye. "You're not a quitter, Minhyung. I know it's hard but you worked hard for your dreams. Don't let them slip away. Don't quit, just rest."

Meanwhile in the practice room, Jeno was looking for Namu. He had forgotten to give her drink. "Do you know where Namu is?"

"I think she went somewhere with Mark." Sicheng answered. Jeno nodded and left the room to look for them. He saw one of the lounge rooms were opened and decided to peek in.

Regret hit him when he saw Namu and Mark hugging. His chest tightened even more than before as he felt like he was ready to vomit.

He walked away and back to the practice room. On his way, a frantic looking Johnny ran by him.
