"Silence in the Library." || NCT Markhyuck

4 - What are we doing ☀️

//Ohohoho pfft//

📖

It was the next week's Monday. Again the glasses librarian just stared into his book, shutting the world out of his mind. He notices how Haechan hasn't visited him for 2 days now. From Thursday to Friday. Obviously he doesn't see the boy during weekend, so technically he hasn't seen Haechan in 4 days. He wonders if the boy got bored of him because of his un-amusing life, which he doesn't blame Haechan for. He knows his life is pretty boring. It's just filled with studying, knowledge, books, mostly nerd stuff.

Somehow without the boy, the library and Mark's life was at peace again. How long was it since it was this silent? The library with almost no one in because it was almost closing time. The boy named Haechan not being here, he should feel happy.

Should.

Nonetheless, he just feels empty? Like, even if he hates to admits it, he misses the junior. He snaps out of his deep thought when he heard a loud sound that was cause from one of the students who accidentally dropped a book.

"Dude be careful!" "Sheesh sorry I didn't mean too." He heard the two people whispering loudly to each other but he decides to just ignore it.

Mark adjusted the glasses on his face after realizing what he was thinking about.

Why am I thinking about him? 

As he was wondering about the boy, he notices a head hiding behind the desk. It was an orange colour-ish hair, hovering slightly above the desk. Mark raise an eyebrow, wondering what or who that is. He closes the book in his hand, proceeding to lightly smack the unknown orange hair. The orange hair flinch.

"Oww..." Mark's eyes widen; he recognizes that voice. He leans forward to the person.

"Haechan?" Mark asks. The orange hair slowly stands up, revealing it's face. He puts a hand on his head as he rubs it slightly.

"Must you hit my head or any part of my body?" He pouts at Mark. Seeing the boy's face again, a smile slowly creeps its way to Mark's face. But as soon as he notices the smiles coming to his mouth, he immediately coughs, trying to hide it. Haechan notices what Mark was doing. He can't help but giggle at the adorable reaction the older has. Mark averts his eyes but soon it went back to glancing at Haechan's hair. It's a new colour.

"You dyed your hair?", to which Haechan nods. He seems proud of it since he dyed it himself. Mark just nods. Haechan beams a grin, asking Mark for a praise.

"I deserve a praise don't I! It's not easy dying my hair this colour, Mark hyung" He puts both of his hand on his waist. Mark was confused and rejects the idea. But the longer Haechan bugs him for it, he just gives up and does it anyway.

"You did an amazing job, Donghyuck." He pats the younger boy's head, which causes him to blush. Again, everytime the older calls Haechan by that name, he can't help but feels his chest tighten. Mark notices the younger's reaction and immediately retracts his hand from his head, placing it on the back of his neck. Wondering is he overdid it. There was a slight silence for a few seconds, before Mark decides to cuts it up.

"So, I'm gonna go clean up some books on the shelf. You wanna help?" He looks at his wrist watch, seeing that he still have some time left before closing time. Might as well make the place spotless before leaving. Haechan looks at Mark with sparkling eyes. He happily nods.

"Why don't these people ever picks up these books?? Are they dumb or something?" Haechan groans, feeling annoyed with the books that has either fallen from the shelf or someone drops it there.
