Do you ever have those days where you wake up and think 'I'm going to go to school mad'? That's how Jaehyun felt although she didn't plan it, waking up after half an hour of her alarm clock ringing always managed to set her day into a weird pace and she was not having it, constantly feeling rushed means half assed works and that leads to frustration and ultimately ends in something ever worse than a 'bad day'.

Jaehyun pulled up to the SM building sighing while shifting the gear into park, pulling down her mirror she sighed at the dark circles that were shadowing her under eyes, taking a breath she left her car with her bag in hand making sure to lock her car, she huffed walking through the building doors seeing the elevator in sight she bypassed it deciding to grab a coffee from the cafe they had in the lobby, maybe a shitty made latte would keep her day running smoothly.

...

"Officer Lee? Caramel Latte?"

Jaehyun picked her head up from where she was standing and walked over to the counter about to grab her drink when another hand had intercepted the drink bringing it towards their lips.

"Excuse me, that was- Mark?" Jaehyun felt a sudden chill of excitement run up her spine when the newly appointed 127 officer continued to sip on her drink.

"Heyyy that's mine!" Jaehyun whined snatching the drink away from the now smiling boy as he laughed at her delayed reaction, Jaehyun took a sip sighing at the steaming goodness and diverted her attention to the former captain in front of her.

"Why are you here?" Jaehyun asked earning a harsh look from the other but she still nonetheless smiled and laughed to herself.

"Came to pick up a few things and say my last goodbye to my team" Mark said ignoring Jaehyuns abruptness, He could tell that something was bothering her, walking over and draping an arm over her shoulder he sighed in content.

"I also came to congratulate my good friend on her new position" Mark smiled ruffling Jaehyun's styled hair, it was down today, Jaehyun slapped his hand away and smiled leaning into his side while they both walked to the Dream HQ.

Mark and Jaehyun had lived across from each other ever since they were 5 years old going to the same schools and even the same academy, Mark was a year older than her of course, although she never saw much of him during school they would always make time for each other afterwards and when Mark had found out that Jaehyun had become his replacement he was beyond happy and didn't think he knew anyone else suitable for the job, at times maybe not even Jeno.

"So how's the new team?" Jaehyun asked taking small sips of her drink while the two ignored the weird looks from other departments while stepping into the elevator.

"They're great, at first I thought they'd be too intimidating and I thought I'd end up running back but they're all so cool, even though I do miss the dreamies" Mark ended his statement with a sigh and Jaehyun gave him a small smile.

"Don't feel bad about leaving them, everyone's gonna have to grow up sometime" Jaehyun said being the first to leave the elevator Mark following behind her.

"So how are they with you?" Mark asked he couldn't help but feel like he was talking about his children that Jaehyun was only babysitting.
