"fuck. fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK" jisung slammed his fist into the wall. "why today. why today out of all days? why on mark's big day?"

"just take it easy." jeno whispered, putting his hand on the younger boy's shoulder. "she's still outside. and don't worry, chenle will fix this."

the two were in the men's bathroom, huddled in the big stall. jisung ran away from the woman, causing an even bigger commotion. chenle was left alone to fend for himself. 'just like the old days' he thought.

at this point, mark was back. he was about to tell them some exciting news but was greeted with awkward looks.

"and who are you?" the woman asks, looking him up and down.

"i'm ... mark? why" he responds, blindsided.

"did you know that this boy was reported missing?" she straightened her skirt as if she was brushing off invisible dust.

"um, no. he never told me that." mark glanced at chenle nervously. "but he's of age now, it doesn't matter, does it?"

"yes it does." the woman snapped. "his mother is worried sick."

at that chenle chuckled. "i'm sure she's more worried about the checks i could be giving her."

"excuse me?" the woman smiled, as if she was actuallu interested in whatever he had to say. she was already reaching for her phone, ready to call the cops.

mark noticed, and rushed to distract her in some way. "how do know chenle anyways? are you guys related?"

'jesus.' chenle thought. 'and i thought this couldn't get worse.'

jaemin and renjun left, but thankfully no one noticed until it was too late. by the time anyone realized they were gone, the fire alarm had already gone off.
