IT HURTS LIKE HELL ---» {NCT DREAM}

FRIENDS LIST

Aera is doing her homework when she heard her mother calling for her downstairs, walking to the kitchen, Mrs. Han is searching through the refrigerator, she's not in her regular cloth but in her work cloth, turning to Aera

-Oh, Aera honey, can you help me buy the grocery? I have a meeting to go

Aera slowly nodded, reply with a soft 'ok'. Her mother smile at her before grabbing her bag at the breakfast bar

-I will cook dinner when I get back, ok?

Aera frown, staring at her mother

-Hey, I know how to cook, don't judge me like that

Aera chuckles as her mother ruffles her hair before she kisses her forehead

-I will go now

Aera bid her goodbye to her mother before closing the door, going upstairs, she decided to change her shirt and go grocery shopping early.

After making sure she had everything she needed, the spies, the seafood, the fruit and the snack. Everything completes. About to push her cart to the counter, when she remembers that it's almost the time of the month for her, leaving her cart at the side, she quickly walks to the women isle. While choosing her pad, she heard the men beside her, that's wearing a big hoodie with his hood covering his face, muttered a slow 'fuck...' looking at him, he's holding two brand of pad in his hand while his eyes is scanning the isle, softly tapping his shoulder, he turns to her

-Hey, do you ne-

-Oh, Aera?

-Huh?

The guy seems familiar to her, maybe she saw him at school? But she doesn't know his name so how could he knows her?

-It is you!

Seeing the frown on Aera face, he chuckles

-I'm Mark by the way. I'm a senior at the school.

-Ah~

Now she remembers, she saw him hanging out with Donghyuck sometimes. And yesterday she just saw him with the bullies.

-How do you know my name?

-You're Donghyuck seatmates right?

-Oh, yeah... that's... right...

'Donghyuck talk about me to his friends?' Mark look down at the two packet in his hand then he glances at Aera

-You wanted help?

-Yes, please...

Aera chuckles before walking near the rack, eyes also searching through it

-Who are you getting that for?

-Um... my little sister. She's one year younger than you...

-Oh...

Aera grab the one that she usually wears and the one that she thinks is the most comfortable than the other, turning to Mark

-I don't know if she like it, but this brand is really good for me...

It's kind of embarrassed for Aera to say it to her senior, but what can she do, he need her help. Mark take the packet, smiling at Aera

-Thank you, you really save my life from getting yelled at.

Aera chuckles, grabbing hers too, she's bid goodbye to Mark and before she could walk away
