"Welcome back to my house losers. Renjun has friends over so try not to fuck up the place." Kun lamented opening the front door and stepping inside. The noisy group took their shoes off before bustling into the living room.

Lucas took his hand and lead him into the living. The rest of WayV (weird name in his opinion but the rest thought it was cool) were sprawled across the living room where 4 other boys sat.

"Ooo who's this?" A tan boy asked attention immediately on him. The other three boys turned to look at him.

"Oh, I'm Mark Lee! You could say I'm new?"

"I like him!" Another boy with a beautiful eye smile commented,"Come sit with us. You don't need to talk to those oldies (" We're the same age!" -Unholy Trio™)."

Mark took a seat next to the tan boy.

"HI I'm Renjun, I'm Kun's brother." One of the other boys said.

"I'm Donghyuck but I also go by Haechan!" The Tan boy exclaimed.

"I'm Jeno and this is Jaemin. Watch out for him though he's very touchy." Eye smile bo- Jeno warned.

"I can't even be mad at that it's pretty true," Jaemin said offhandedly.

"Anyways we're all freshman and we go by Dream like how they go by Wayv," Renjun stated gesturing to the group fighting over who plays Waluigi in Mario Kart.

"I said we should change the name to something else but the others said nah since we've had the name since we were Itty bitty," Haechan explained.

"Coming from the person who still says 'Itty Bitty'." Jeno snorted.

Haechan managed to tackle him and was convinced trying to kiss him was a befitting punishment. Jeno screamed for help and Mark didn't feel as bad when the other 2 made no move to aid him.

Mark felt like this is where he was meant.

Since it was late, Lucas offered to walk him home (plus he needed a charger for his phone since he was Hella busted. Mark was sure they had an extra.). He opened the front door to expose a vaguely empty and dark house. He pulled his shoes off, Lucas following suit, and turned the lights on.

"Your house is a really nice dude." *Lucas complimented his eyes roaming the quiet home.

"Oh thank you," Mark answered. He spotted a note posted on the refrigerator. He ripped it off.

"Hey, Markie! We were supposed to go on a dinner tonight but we forgot to remind you. So sorry about that. We were running late when we remembered and thought it was best to just go. The food is in the fridge!

Love,
Dad

"Oh, you're joking." Mark snorted in anger.

"What's wrong?" Lucas inquired.

"My parents couldn't be bothered to tell me we had a dinner. Couldn't spare a phone call even." Mark answered balling up the paper and throwing it away.

"Shit sucks dude. Want me to stay with you?" Lucas suggested.

Mark paused for a minute and stared at the boy, a gentle smile resting on his face. "I would... really appreciate that." He said softly, determined to not look at the handsome smile on the older boys face."Wanna watch a movie?"

"Ooh can we watch Ratatouille!" Lucas exclaimed jumping in excitement as Mark lead up to his room.

Lucas settled on the bed as Mark grabbed his laptop. He closed the door and hopped into bed with Lucas opening up Netflix and clicking on Ratatouille. He was surprised to find out that Lucas knew all the words by heart and needless to say was impressed.

Mark was woken up by the slam of the front door.

"Mark we're home!"

Marks eyes flew open as he scrambled to wake up a disgruntled Lucas. He pulled him off the bed as Lucas groaned.

"My parents are home. They'll kill you and me if they find you in my room. Now hide in the closet!" Mark explained briefly. Lucas albeit still woozy stumbled over to closet and hid himself.

As soon as he did his door swung open.

"Markie? Who were you talking to?" His Dad asked concerned.

"Um I was just talking to Daehwi?"

"Where's your phone then?" Taeyong asked with a raised eyebrow stepping into his room. Johnny and Jungwoo hovered outside clearly interested.

"Is something wrong?" Taeyong asked after a long pause.

"Oh I'm no-" Mark got cut off by a loud sneeze coming from his closet. Eyebrows were raised and Mark couldn't stop his Appa from striding over (curse his short stature) and pulling open his closet door causing Lucas to fall out with a loud thump.

Shit.
