❝I can't believe this❞ Donghyuck snickers, eyes crumpling up in mirth, lips turned up into a smirk.

Ten debates on throwing his lunch tray at the boy who keeps laughing at his misery. ❝It's not funny, imagine if you were to be scolded for it, instead of me❞ Ten says grumpily.

Donghyuck suddenly leaps towards Ten, eyes sparkling. ❝Well, what'd you tell him after?❞

Ten sputters, placing a palm on Donghyuck's face and shoving him down on his seat. ❝Shut up Donghyuck, I already told you❞ snapped Ten. ❝Besides, that Hendery guy sounds like a total cutie❞

❝Of course you'd say that hyung. You love anyone younger than you❞ Donghyuck says jokingly.

❝Why you—❞ Ten bristled at that, clenching his fork and trying to stab the younger one with it.

A hand grabbed the fork away from him forcefully and slammed it down on the table. ❝Please don't stab my future wife Ten-hyung❞ Mark Lee says, blonde hair upswept and looking handsome as always.

He circles the table until he pulls out the chair beside Donghyuck. He places his tray down and looks at the tanned male. ❝Hi Donghyuck❞ he greets the other.

Donghyuck had managed to turn from pale, to pink, to an angry blotchy red. ❝I'm not your wife!❞ he exclaimed, scooting his chair away from Mark.

❝Oho, what is this new development I'm seeing?❞ Ten grins, hands weaving together and he places his chin on top of them to look at the fighting duo.

Mark and Donghyuck freeze. Mark for some odd reason looks annoyed, while Donghyuck's face was paling quite rapidly.

❝Why do you look like I offended your grandma or something?❞ Ten asked, huffing like a child as he pouted. ❝The disrespect I'm receiving from you kids, is really outstanding these days.❞

Donghyuck kicks his leg from under the table. Ten stifles the pained cry that wants to leave his mouth. ❝You wonder why I dislike you so much❞ Ten gripes, clenching his teeth, and narrowing his gaze at the youngest.

Mark resumes petting Donghyuck's hair like Donghyuck never kicked Ten in the first place. It was kind of disgusting, seeing that kind of love and dedication sparkling in Mark's eyes.

❝Mark, if you don't tell us what you're here for, I will allow Donghyuck to drop kick your balls❞ Ten threatened the other, feeling pity for Donghyuck's constipated expression.

Instead of looking scared, Mark actually brightened up. What the fuck?

❝Donghyuckie, princess. I got you the newest album from NCT, as well as the concerts for that unit you love so much❞ Mark says, pulling up the aforementioned from seemingly nowhere. Donghyuck huffs at the nickname, and Ten could see that he was ready to throw hands, but he immediately deflated at the sight of the tickets.

Donghyuck stared back and forth between Mark and the tickets in awe. ❝I- wow. Mark... I❞ he stuttered, covering his mouth with his hands.

Ten observes them, feeling incredibly lost, because how is this progressing so quickly. It felt like, one moment he was bitching with his most hated dongsaeng, and now said dongsaeng has his attention stolen by his persistent friend.

❝An engagement ring would have been nicer, but since we have all the time in the world, I wanted to take you to the concert with me❞ Mark smiles. ❝Don't worry, I love you too sunshine.❞

❝Shut up Mark! You were trying to trick me!❞ exclaimed Donghyuck, shuffling his chair away again, and turning his head away. But his eyes kept straying back to the tickets Mark is shoving to his face.

❝Kids!❞ Ten called, trying to grab their attention. But Mark continued to ignore him in favor of getting Donghyuck's consent. ❝Listen here you little shits❞ Ten tried again.

❝Mark Lee! Lee Donghyuck!❞ he snapped. Both Mark and Donghyuck turned their heads to him, eyes wide in shock.

❝Hello? I have a major crisis here, and I need to get in contact with this stupid idiot who called our hotline and thought I was his crush❞ he spoke to them as if they were hard of hearing.

Mark leaned away from Donghyuck, the latter sighing out of relief.

❝Who?❞ Mark questioned.

❝Hendery. Apparently he thinks I'm Xiao-whatever his name is.❞ Ten rolled his eyes. ❝But isn't that good for you, hyung? That means you'll have a date right?❞ Mark shakes his head as he asks this, like he can't believe Ten.

❝That's what I've been trying to tell this stupid hyung. He can just call this Hendery and play along until Saturday❞ Donghyuck pipes in, grinning like the little shit he always is.

❝That's pure evil Hyuck...... But I like that❞ Ten grinned back at the other.
