After another exhausting two hours of dancing Jeno stood at the wooden door that was opening into his house. He rang the doorbell and listened to footsteps from the other side of the door getting closer, eventually opening the door revealing his mother.

"Hi honey, how was the rehearsal?" Jeno got in putting his shoes carefully to the side which was crowded than usual because of their guests for the week "The usual. 5-6-7-8, jump, keep your core tight, don't stumble, turn and hold it!" Jeno added his arms exaggerating the movements, making himself and his mum giggle.

"Good to hear that. Mark is in the shower, you can go in once he comes out. You hungry?" Jeno has eaten his meal before the rehearsal but it wasn't much since he didn't want to feel sick while he was dancing. He wasn't extremely hungry though and he was guessing Mark and him would snack on things as the night goes on so he decided not to eat. He quickly greeted his father and the other couple in the living room and excused himself to his bedroom.

He put his bag to the side of his desk, hoping not to forget putting the clothes in it to laundry. He took his phone out of his pocket and threw himself onto his bed. When his phone started ringing on his hand he carelessly put it onto speaker and dropped it somewhere around the pillow.

"Don't you think it's too early to miss me, Haechan? We were together like half an hour ago"

"Oh nice to hear your voice too Jeno. It's such a joy to be talking to you"Jeno rolled his eyes at the younger even though he couldn't see him "Whatever, I called to give you an important information. Me and Jaemin are coming over tomorrow night for a sleepover!" Jeno blurted his eyes, when was that decision made?

"You what!? Haechan it's not only Mark you know, his parents are here too. It would be way too weird and I don't think my mom would be thrilled with this idea as well"

"Jeno, I'm not stupid. I already talked with your mum, both your parents are cool with it. Your mom loves me and Jaemin, it was almost like she wanted us to come, only thing you have to do is talk with Mark. Love you, byeee" Haechan hung up the call before Jeno had more chances to object to the idea. Jeno was mostly busy with the fact that his mother was practically friends with Haechan. He knew that his mom adored him but he didn't know it was to the extent for them to exchange numbers, it was quite horrifying to think about. As he was trying to digest the phone call he just had the door to his room opened, revealing the older. His dark hair still had some water dripping down to his shoulders, leaving damp traces on his shirt.

"Just for the record, it's my turn on the bed and I will not hesitate to throw you off of it"

"Yeah I know, I gotta take shower anyways. How was school?" Jeno slid to the side of the bed so Mark could lay down next to him. He delayed the sleepover talk, he wanted to talk with his mother first.

"Same usual stuff. I had basketball practice in the lunch so didn't have chance to eat anything so spent my afternoon with a growling stomach" Mark imitated the voice his stomach making both of them laugh "What about you? How was the rehearsal?" Jeno has seen Mark as he was going out to go to the studio and the older was coming back from the school. They didn't have chance to talk so they just left with simple "hi"

"Tiring but fun. We are working harder than ever, hoping this will be our year"

"Good luck with that but dude please go and take a shower, my nose is dying here" Jeno bursted a laugh and got up from the bed walking towards his wardrobe to get the clothes that he'll wear after the shower. He left his room with clothes in his hand and walked towards the bathroom to take a quick shower trying not to think about next night.

It turns out that Haechan was right when he said that Jeno's mom was the one who came up with the sleepover idea. Jeno learned it when he went to kitchen to confront his mother who was busy making some kind of dessert with Mark's mom. She has said to him it would be a great idea to reminisce the old memories and Mark's mom have supported her with the plan. Apparently themselves had planned a late night dinner as parents and they were going to be coming home only to sleep which means that the teenagers would have the house to themselves for quite a while. Jeno had to admit, it was a great thought to have sleepover just like old times. Mark and Haechan were never in perfectly good terms but they were handling it then there was no reason for it not to work now either.
