Summer Fight

The start

The night was drawing to a close as the NCT 127 members shuffled inside their dorm sweaty from practicing for a little over 4 hours. Everyone heaved out a sigh of relief as they entered the cool room, some sat down on the living room sofa while others made their way into their respective bedrooms. Mark was the last to enter the dorm, he felt more tired than ever knowing full well that he had to wake up early and go for practice again with the dream members. He was the eldest among the boys and he wanted to be an inspiration for them, but some days were just harder than the others. Mark took off his shoes by the door since Taeyong hated having shoes inside the dorm. A smile graced his lips for a second when his eyes landed on Doyoung and Taeyong arguing about the AC temperature before it wandered over to Haechan who was currently leeching onto Taeil like a koala bear making kissy faces at him. Mark frowned at the site in front of him before rolling his eyes and going into his room to take a shower and get a good night's rest.

The cold air of the room touched Mark's warm body as he came out of the shower in his loose t-shirt and shorts that he now used as pyjamas. Haechan was lying on Mark's bed scrolling through his phone. Usually he wouldn't say a thing and just get into Haechan's bed but for some reason today it just pissed him off. Mark dropped his towel on the rotating chair before making his way over to his bed yanking the cover off Haechan as he harshly nudged him to get out of his bed with a plain face.

"Meanie" Haechan mumbled as he padded over to the other twin bed in the room.

"Are you okay?" Haechan asked moving over to Mark's bed once again sitting at the edge of his bed as he saw the evident anger on Mark's face.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Mark said with gritted teeth. He was in no mood to talk right now especially not with Haechan. The guy was much too clingy for Mark's taste.

"You don't sound fine" Haechan inquired placing a hand on his forehead to see if he was sick.

"I said I'm fine" Mark slapped away his hand his voice getting higher taking Haechan aback with the sudden change in his mood. Just an hour ago he was all smiles and laughter and now he was all pins and needles, it wasn't everyday mark got angry but when he did more often than not it was quite scary.

"Okay, I was just asking. Don't have to be so rude about it" Haechan said going back to his side of the room when he heard a scoff leave Mark's lips making him turn around to see him rolling his eyes before saying.

"Yeah well it's irritating. You're irritating"

"I'm sorry?"

"Everything you do is irritating. Why do you have to talk so much and don't even get me started on your constant need for attention. Were you not loved as a kid? Why do you have to always latch onto us?" Mark spitted out not even considering whether what he said was hurtful.

"No one seems to mind it" Haechan says getting increasingly impatient with Mark's attitude.

"It is to everyone except for 'Taeil hyung'" Mark said air quoting with his hands.

"There's something called personal space and you clearly don't know what that means. So just stay on your side of the room and stop being so clingy all the time, it's annoying." Mark added the anger seeping through him.

"Okay, I don't know what's gotten into you but I'm not your fucking punching bag. Deal with your issues yourself" Donghyuck said trying not to lash out on his very hostile best friend.

"The only issue I have is the fact that you refuse to shut the fuck up"

"Fine" Donghyuck said getting up from his bed closing the lights in the room before getting under the covers and facing away from his roommate. The day had been hard enough for the two of them and the fight only made them more unreceptive. Haechan was used to Mark being moody every now and then but never had he said such hurtful things, he always thought of Mark as the one person he could always depend on but he'd be lying if he said they hadn't been getting distant lately with Mark spending more time with Johnny and Jaehyun than him but never would he have expected Mark to say the things he did.
