"What happened to bro code?" Mark asked Lucas, who was on his way out to meet Min Jee.
"What happened to not hurting her?" Lucas replied and left the apartment.

Thursday - 7:22 am
I wake up by my phone ringing, I pick it up and placed it against my ear.
"Hello?" My voice was hoarse.
"Good morning hun, did I wake you up?" Mark's voice was clear and cheery.
"Yeah," I said my eyes still closed, "good morning," I greeted back and he laughed.
"Do you want to keep sleeping?" He asked.
"Very much," I said and he laughed, but his laughter sounded he was here.
"Rise and shine!" Mark burst into the bedroom and turned on the lights. I squinted my eyes as I stared at him, his phone in his hand.
I end the call and lie back down, "Come on hun. It's a new day," I felt Mark sit at the end of the bed.
"If you dare take my blanket off, I'll kick you," I said bringing my blanket over my head, the ceiling light too bright and irritating.
"Then, I'll join you in bed," he said and I felt his body lying beside me, my back against him. He wrapped his arm around me and I stayed still.
"Let me sleep," I brought the blanket off my head and turned around to glare at him. He had a smile on his face and it made it harder for me to keep glaring, I turned back around, "Go away."
He laughed and snuggled his head on the crook of my neck, "I'll see you later at lunch, okay?" He kissed my cheek and I felt colder as he left.
I heard the lights being switched and the room was dark again. I could sleep for a little more.
11:21 am
My phone was ringing again and I decided to ignore it. A moment, just a moment it was silent until it started ringing again.
I groan and sat straight, glaring at my phone.

I answer the call a little too harshly than planned, "What do you want?" I asked and I heard Lucas laugh.
"Mark warned me about your crankiness. Anyway, we're eating at 1 for lunch," he said and I pulled the phone away to look at the time.
11:22
I brought the phone against my ear, "1?!" I swung my legs to the edge of the bed.
"Mhmm, Mark's just finishing up with an interview. He told me to call you up," I wore my slippers and turned the light on in the bedroom, "you seriously just woke up from the call?"
