There was a mischievous smile on YugYeom's face when Mark pulled his hand away. It lasted only a second, but YoungJae caught it. Giving a smile of his own. He leaned closer to the pair. "YugYeom-ah, you'll tell your hyung YoungJae about it right?" He stage whispered, his smile widening at the youngers bright laugh.

"BamBam-ah!" Mark said, cutting their conversation off making grabby hands for Jackson as soon as they all sat down. A deep chuckle escaping the Chinese male as he sat behind Mark, acting at the elder's back rest. "YugYeom-ie, this is your hyung Jaebeom, he's our leader and a total softy." He said, lifting the younger's hand so the mentioned male could take it.

"He's blind?" BamBam asked, using English.

"Yes, Bammie." Jackson whispered, smiling kindly at the youngest of his band. "Remember when I said Mark treats him differently because he reminds hyung of someone from America?"

BamBam nodded, his guilt painted plainly on his face. The poor boy in front of him was blind and here he was feeling jealous about it. He should be trying to engage the boy in conversation, not glaring holes into his face. The younger turned sad eyes on Jackson, a pout forming on his face. "Hyung," He whispered. "will you tell him I'm sorry?" He asked, looking up at the Chinese male through his lashes.

Mark having heard the whole thing smiled at BamBam and ruffled his hair. "You're a good kid." He teased, loving the satisfied little smile that pulled at his dongsaeng's face. "YugYeom-ah, do you remember me telling you about BamBam?" He asked, a proud smile on his face when the younger perked up and looked at him.

"Is he here?" He asked, his smile growing. "Hyung, do I finally get to meet him?" He asked.

"Yah! What about us? Did you not want to meet us?" JinYoung teased, a smile obvious in his voice as he ruffled the younger's hair.

"Hyuuuuung..." YugYeom whined, using his hands to shield his hair. Turning in the direction of JinYoung's voice and letting loose the most adorable pout (seriously, it rivaled Mark's).

"Aigoo! You're just too cute!" YoungJae squealed, reaching out to gently pinch his cheeks. "You can't use that on us too often." He warned, looking at his hyungs to see they were all just staring at the boy in Mark's lap. They're eyes were so soft he was worried they'd never be able to recover. "Your hyungs have stopped working. That's too powerful!" He exclaimed, delighted at the small giggle he heard escape the boy.

BamBam couldn't help but agree. The kid was super cute and there was something about him that made the thought of forming a friendship exciting. "YugYeom-ssi, we could take over with that pout!" He said, scooting closer to the group. His knees touching the younger's as he leaned into whisper. "Think of all the ice cream we could get!"

"Yah!" Jaeboem yelled, looking to the two and smiling as they dove into conversation as naturally as two old friends. Seeing BamBam's insecurities and guilt disappear the longer they talked. It was cute the way YugYeom slowed down his words if BamBam didn't understand, or how he would substitute one word for another, making sure to help BamBam.

Soon enough Mark joined in, his voice growing louder as they all discussed Western rappers they liked. Jackson had leaned back, Mark sitting with his back to the male's chest while YugYeom had moved to sit between Mark and BamBam his hands moving around erratically while his smile seemed to shine brighter and brighter. BamBam had thrown his arm over YugYeom's shoulder and was leaning on him while he talked, their size difference startling but very cute none the less.

YugYeom suddenly grew quiet, his smile falling back into that adorable pout, his arms crossing over his chest.

"None of that." Mark chided, tickling his chin. "You promised you'd go when he got here."

"But..." He began before a large male came striding towards them, his face an exact copy of the younger's minus the mole under his eye.

"Gyeom-ah!" He breathed, relief making his shoulders sag as he walked towards them.

Slowly getting to his feet, and shyly looking down at his feet, playing with his fingers in front of him. "Hello hyung. I'm sorry." He said, bowing to show his grievance. "I remembered Mark-hyung saying he was going to be here and thought it would be okay for me to come over."

Letting out a sigh and pulling the younger into his arms (completely ignoring the six strangers watching them intently), he couldn't help but feel guilty. His younger brother had every right to leave the apartment when he chose, he shouldn't be feeling guilty (except of course, for not letting him know where he was going).

"Hyung forgives you." He responded. "Next time you're not allowed to go to dance." He warned, pulling back to inspect his baby brother for damage. Surprised when YugYeom nodded instead of trying to fight him on this. "Oh Gyeomie." He said, pulling his baby brother back into a hug. He looked down at Mark to see he'd moved to get closer to the male he was sitting on. "Thank you for reminding him to call me. I almost called the police!" He joked.
