"AYO JENO,"

mark sighed, looking up from his phone, body sprawled on jeno's bed.

"mhm?" the younger replied, not looking up as he was trying to organize the laces for the new cleats his mother got for him.

"can i join you for the swim team party?" mark asked, "please?"

jeno looked up, annoyed. "yah, i asked you this so many times over the past two weeks and you kept refusing." he said while pushing mark to the other side of the bed, making room for himself. "who gave you the right to think you could just finally blurt out that you wanna come now?"

"well," mark just blushed, "jaemin just posted on his snapchat that hyuck was going bowling with him and your party is gonna be at the bowling place so..."

jeno rolled his eyes, "oh, ok i guess it's hoes before bros now."

mark had a huge crush on donghyuck, which mark doesn't even try to hide. to jeno, it's one of the only things that jeno can tease mark on, as jeno tries to avoid hurting other's feelings, unless it's taeyong. to donghyuck, at least jeno thinks, mark would probably seem annoying as mark tries to butter up to the younger practically always.

"fuck you, donghyuck is not a hoe!" mark argued back.

"yikes, you're whipped," jeno said, shaking his head, "and that shit isn't even that deep!"

mark frowned, "i would do anything to keep hyuck's name clear, actually, i would do anything for him."

"ok you love donghyuck blah blah," jeno exclaimed, remembering to place his cleats next to his iconic uniform, in a pastel blue with number '16' placed clearly on the back of the uniform, "but you do know you have to bring in something for the gift exchange thing, right?"

"jeno, im broke." mark said, looking at the younger with puppy eyes.

"not my problem," jeno shrugged, shoving mark to the opposite side of the bed, "it's not my fault that you use all your money for fortnite skins!"

"says who!? the last time i played was like last night!"

"for yixing's sake, fortnite sucks and markie-poo, nobody cares."

"fuck you jeno, let's go to the dollar tree for a gift."

"oh! and we should get some boba on the way!"

"you're paying, bitch."

                                                                          🎁

as the two used the bus to get to the town center, mark stared out the window the whole time.

"hm, jeno." mark said, catching jeno's attention from picking of a sticker that was stuck on the side of the seat in front of them.

"yeah?"

"you're brother's on a date now, right?"

"mhm, with jaehyun hyung." jeno smiled, wiggling his eyebrows.

"i wonder how they confessed..."

"is this about donghyuck again?" the raven hair said, rolling his eyes, "anyways, jaehyun hyung and tyong hyung is a whole different story from you and donghyuck."

"you're right, either way, you know zhong chenle, right?"

"that rich kid from china?"

"yeah," mark confirmed, peeling his eyes away from the window, "his friend from china, huang renjun, is transferring to our school."
