Mark stumbled down the steps and turned his head from side to side multiple times.

"So you know each other?" He asked.

"No." Nari responded quickly, earning a glance from Jaemin.

"She was on the bus." Jaemin added.

"No close contact at all..." Nari piped.

"Okay okay as long as you're both here I'm fine. You want some milk? I took it out of the fridge."

"Good Job Mark! You took milk out of the fridge- no I don't want any." Nari rolled her eyes in disgust. She hated plain milk.

"Did mom or dad call yet today?" Mark asked her as he grabbed some of his gaming setups.

"No, they said they had meetings all day when I called last night." Nari sighed.

"Your parents aren't here? I mean you aren't of legal age to live alone yet." Jaemin gawked. He set his bookbag on the couch.

"Never mind it. Here." Mark threw him a nintendo switch that Jaemin almost dropped.

"What are you doing?" Nari pouted at Mark. She didn't know why she was doing this, had she ever gave a damn about what her brother was doing? No.

"Playing Mario Cart, duh." He raised the switch as well as his eyebrow. Jaemin let out a giggle.

"Oh, okay." Nari dissapeared into the kitchen and grabbed a popsicle out of the freezer. She knew that if Jaemin was Mark's friend, Jaemin would be over every day. And then Mark and Jaemin were destined to be besties. And then Mark would stop talking to her... 'oh now you're overthinking again' Nari scolded herself, dragging her book bag up the stairs dramatically.

"I'll be in my room!" 

"Hey ya know the chic you bumped into yesterday? She has a boyfriend." Hyuck mocked Chunhwa's uninterested tone. He and Nari had stayed up on the phone last night talking about all possible Mark and girlfriend scenarios while Jaemin and Mark were preoccupied.

"I...don't know what you're talking about." Mark focused on his backpack. Nari in the meantime, glanced over to the classroom opposite the lockers.

There she was again. 

Nari gave her a confused stare for a few seconds, until she heard a snapping of Haechan's fingers.

"What're you looking at- aw no." 

Haechan banged his head on the locker. "Now both of the lee siblings are whipped for her."

"Did It ever occur to you your last name is also Lee?" Nari clapped back. Mark muttered 'nice one' and pinched her arm.

Out of the corner of Mark's eye he noticed Chunhwa scurrying away.

"Great now you've scared her." Mark deadpanned. 

"Go talk to her man! I ain't doing it for you." Hyuck grabbed Nari's arm, forcing her to walk away from her skeptical brother.

"You sure really want them together. Play cupid, it's almost valentine's day." Nari chirped.

"Cupid your face. You do it." Haechan retorted.

"Fine, but then I'm getting you a date for once. How 'bout Minju? She seemed friendly." Nari raised her eyes and made cooing noises.

Hyuck leaned to her ear. "How about you shut up before I throw you out the windo-"

"Hey Y/n!"
