Hailee walked to the back of the building with her hood covering her tangled hair. Despite being a model, she had no sense of fashion or style, anything looking like a statement to her. Green sweatpants and a green hoodie with pickle socks. 

Yup, a true model she was. 

Pulling out a marker, she wrote on her arm. 

Here

Finally

Shutup maple

Ok New York

That was awful

Hey!!! thats mean

K

dont just k me

hurry up its cold outside

oh yeah yeah im on my way sorry 

Hailee stood outside for maybe another meeting before Mark opened the door, a cowboy hat pulled sloppily over his eyes as he panted.

"What the hell?"

"Don't ask," Mark rolled his eyes before pulling her inside. 

"Uhm ok?"

"Johnny and Haechan," he shook his head, "Johnny stole the hat from the photoshoots and Haechan thought it'd be funny to replace my hat."

"It kinda is though," she said, Mark sending her a glare. 

"Not for me," he whined, "i feel stupid!"

"You look stupid too."

"HAL!!!"

She let her laughter ring out through the halls as Mark shook his head in simple disappointment. 

Gosh, when had the last time Hailee had laughed like this. It had been a while. Mark eventually let out a small giggle before speaking up again. 

"They'll like you," he said, Hailee's smile fading slightly as she realized why she was here. 

She was meeting the rest of Nct, not even just 127, the whole damn thing due to Nct 2020 promotions. Nct was like Mark's family, gosh this was like meeting his parents, his siblings, and cousins. 

Why hadn't she even thought of this until now? 

They had finally reached the door and Hailee was already feeing butterflies in her stomach due to how nervous she was. 

"Take off the stupid cowboy hat," she said trying to procrastinate from going into the room. 

"No," Mark said smiling, "I like looking stupid."

"Maarrkkk," she said stepping away. 

"Ok what the hell," he said frowning, "what's wrong? I thought you were excited to meet them, you've already met a few of them anyways what's the big deal?"

"This is a big deal actually," Hailee argued, "this is like meeting your family and that's huge!"

"We're not even dating yet," Mark exclaimed. 

"Yet."

"Hailee Choi."

"Mark Lee."

"Hailee Choi."

"Mark Lee."

"Hailee Lee."

"Mark Choi- wait what?!"

Laughter irrupted from a voice behind them, Hailee swiveling around to see a new person. 

"Oh you're funny," he said, his long hair tied into a little ponytail as he smiled down at Hailee. 

"Im Yuta."

Hailee froze in complete awkwardness. No blinking, barely breathing, no movement. Frozen. Oh god what was she supposed to say, what was she supposed to do, how should she introduce herself?

"Uhm," Hailee said, completely lost in the new social interaction. 

"I'm... Choi... wait Lee, FUCK NO-UHMMmmmMm-"

"This is Hailee," Mark smiled, "my soulmate."

Hailee sent him a grateful look before bowing to Yuta who only laughed. 

"Great you're here," he said, "don't know why you two were simply standing outside unless..."

He wiggled his eyes, Mark's ears turning bright red. 

"Oh shit," he yelped, his voice cracking. "No, just, no."

"Ok then let's go Hailee," Yuta smiled as he pushed open the doors and yanked Mark in who also yelped and pulled Hailee in. 

"Oh finally," another voice said, "Oh Canada's here, and-"

"AYYEEE HEYYYY YOU'RE AMERICAN RIGHT!!!!"

Hailee immediately wanted to die.
