"Huh? You came after all?" Mark's confused voice sounded, gaining our attention in the quite crowded room.

It didn't take Donghyuck and me long until we were standing in front of the two guys who had already bought popcorn and drinks for themselves in the meantime.
A small sigh left my lips before I nodded to Mark for confirmation, the ravenette still looking at me in surprised.
Believe me Lee, I am surprised myself.

"I had the choice between being stalked or going to the movies," I said with an obvious fake smile and gritted my teeth.

Donghyuck, on the other hand, stood cheerfully next to me and grinned satsified as if he had just found money on the street. God... this boy really drove me crazy.

"I see, anyways. We'll wait for you at that table over there since it's still twenty minutes until it begins."

The said students turned away shortly afterwards and I did the same, focusing and walking towards the the cash register at the end of the room.
There was long queue for the tickets as well as for the food and simply looking at both of them made me lose the rest of my energy. I really wanted to go home already. My shoulders sank a little while I breathed out in annoyance.

"The lines looks quite long, should I buy the tickets and you go for the snacks?" Donghyuck suddenly suggested to me, sounding surprisingly monotone and desinterested.

I already knew he had put on his cold facade again, trying to look as intimidating and dangeres to others as he could. To be honest, it was quite exhausting to endure his constant mood swings.
One second he act like a decent human being than the next one the usual dark veil was there again and enveloped his entire body. I really couldn't figure him out and it somehow made me slightly mad.

I shrugged my shoulders, trying to suppress a yawn, "What do you want?"

No sooner had he expressed his wish than my feet slithered across the floor and carried me to the end of the long line. Once again I sighed and rubbed my heavy eyelids tiredly while I waited for my turn.

My eyes wandered unconsciously through the room until they met Jeno and Mark for a brief moment. Both boys sat at a table several meters away and talked to one other, throwing popcorn into each other's mouths once in a while.

Broodingly I bit my lower lip as I looked at them a little closer. I had to admit that even though they constantly had to retain their dumb ass image and distanced manner, they didn't seem as bad as I had initially thought. In the last few weeks even Momo had become fond of them, although most of the time she only hung around with girls.

I kept my gaze locked onto the two studens, when Mark suddenly caught me looking at them, causing my eyes to widen a bit in realisation. Before I knew it, the corners of his mouth turned into a light and gentle smile before he started to form the peace sign with his fingers.
