mark lee's

i arrived at school , it's quite early. i walked in with my earphones plugged into my ears. the sun is about to set.

i walked past the ruby building and for the thousand times , the eerie feeling is still there. entering that building probably the worst nightmare but it's a part of our mission.

i brushed away my thoughts and continue to walk. this time , i walked past the office. i saw a man in black walked in.

oh? that's the man who was holding our data the other day.

he's suspicious. if i'm not mistaken i saw him at the hospital too.

strange.

"mark hyung!" i can hear chenle's voice even though i'm wearing my earphones.

i turned around and take off my left ear's earphone.

"good morning." i said.

"yeah , what are you doing here?" he asked.

"i'm on the way to my class."

"ah really , let's go then. we're on the same way." he said and i nodded , agreeing with him.

"hyung , is there something going on with yura?" he asked as he gives me a teasing smile.

i frowned.

"why do you ask?" i asked.

"i just think it kind of obvious." he said.

i cleared my throat before i proceed.

"your thought is not always right , i don't like her." i said.

"is it because of jeno hyung?" he asked again.

"i don't want to talk about this." i said as i left him behind.

whenever this topic come around , i can't act cool and that sucks.

i entered my class and saw sicheng sitting at his place. this guy is early huh?

i quietly sit at my place.

"lee minhyung." he said.

i turned around.

"people usually call me mark. i don't think we're quite close for you to call me by that." i said.

"oh , sorry if i offend you. i just want to ask you something."

"go on."

"hayeon , the one who sit beside me , what kind of person she is?" he asked.

i frowned.

"why do you ask me?" i asked.

"because i think that you would know better." he said.

"she was a great person." i said.

he didn't say anything.

"why did you ask?" i asked.

"she seems complicated and i intend to help her." he said as he walked away.

why would he say that to me? i don't even care about whatever he does.

i saw yeri entering the class as she saw sicheng walked out.

"was it only two of you here?" she asked.

"yeah."

"what were you guys talking about?" she asked.

"why did you assume i talked to him?" i asked.
