third person:

"girls since you guys already know your outfits and you're performing last, i need you to help the boys get dressed." the manager said handing them bags of clothes with names and the girls nodded as they began delivering outfits to the boys. nct was seperated by units so hana took care of the nct 127 boys while the others took care of the rest. she carried nine huge bags with clothes and opened the door to see them all getting their hair and makeup done.

the two stylists looked up as they saw hana enter with the clothes. after hana said a quiet hi and put the boys clothes next to their dressers, she found herself watch the two young stylists go back and forth from the boys scrambling to do makeup and hair. "i'm free for a bit, do you want me to help out?" hana said with a concerned look on her face.

"yes please. we're going for a more natural look, nothing too intense. thank you hana." one of the girls said as hana nodded and headed to mark in the back corner first. she quickly got to work and started to blow dry his wet hair. mark looked up from his phone to see hana and smiled through the camera.

"hi beautiful, what are you doing here?" he said not noticing the boys smirking at his name for hana.

"ah stop with that nickname. i'm just helping out the stylist. they have so much to do, plus manager-nim told me we get ready last." she said as she blushed at mark's most recent nickname for her. mark watched as hana ruffles his hair trying to get the most natural look she could. after a couple minutes a pout arised on her face as struggled trying to style mark.

"hana, it looks fine." mark said turning back to see her dissatisfied face staring back at him.

"if you say so. im gonna do your makeup real quick, then help the other boys." hana said as she reached over to mark's left to get the makeup bag. with her short arms hana had a hard time grabbing as her loose drifit shirt exposed her bra from underneath. focusing on grabbing the bag, mark noticed the boys were coming from the changing room beside mark's station so he lightly grabbed the hem of her shirt and held it to her chest, trying to prevent the boys from seeing her bra. when she finally grabbed the bag she found herself looking down to see mark's warm hand over her chest.

"you could ask me to grab it next time, the boys could've seen." mark said as his eyes emphasized hana's chest area. he lightly smiled then removed his hand. in awe hana smiles back realizing how much more attentive mark has become. he cared for her more than she did for herself. she stood in front of him and began putting some light eyeshadow on him.

"thank you mark. you've done so much for me ever since you met me. i wouldn't know what i would do without you to be completely honest." hana said quietly to him as she continued to focus on his makeup. hana watched as a smile slowly appeared on his face as she got more powder on the brush. she felt relieved that she could make him happy, even if it was for a fraction of a second. his smile brightened the whole world for her.

"hana, we gotta go get dressed!" irene yelled as she quickly grabbed hana's arm from fixing up haechan's hair and was dragged into their dressing room. the stylist quickly handed a familiar bag of clothes as the girls all got dressed. hana got dressed and quickly sat in front of her assigned vanity as the stylist began to hurriedly get her hair and makeup done.

"wayv will start performing, get warmed up, nct 127" a director could be heard from the hallway. hana had her hair sprayed down and in loose curls as the stylist finished up a natural makeup look after 15 minutes. the girls began to go through vocal warm-ups and ran through the small marks of their choreography.

"hana, mark is at the door waiting for you." manager-nim said. hana nodded and quickly went to the door to see mark holding the necklace up to her view.

"you nearly forgot about this." mark said before reaching closer and looking over her shoulder to close the clasp of the necklace.

"ah, thank you mark. also you're performing soon. you got this!" hana whispered in his ear trying to stay positive despite mark doing multiple songs with difficult choreography back to back. he backed away adjusting the necklace on her bare collarbone and lightly smiles. hana confusingly looked at him as she watched the smile arise on his face from just glancing at her. she didn't question it though, because she enjoyed the attention.

"no problem. be careful dancing in those heels. don't injure yourself and enjoy yourself. don't worry too much about the choreography." mark said grabbing her hands and swaying it in attempt to making her relax. the two were both in their own realm, not even noticing the girls, boys, and staff watching the scene in awe.

"mark, we gotta go." taeyong said as the boys waved to hana and began walking in the opposite direction. hana gently smiled and gave a big thumbs up then diverted her attention back to mark. in shock of how close his face was to hers. her eyes widened as she felt him getting even closer.

"by the way, you look beautiful today princess." mark complimented as he let go of her hand and left immediately to catch up with the boys. hana was in such shock that she didn't hear the boys whistling at mark and the girls giggling.

"since when did mark get so flirty? and when did it get hot in here?" hana talked to herself as she felt sweat from her palms. little did they both know, everyone could sense what was coming, and it wasn't too good.

a/n: mark being flirty? lol love that. i hope you enjoyed the chapter! :)
