Another World

Summary:

Mark, now a high school graduate, and Donghyuck, an incoming high school senior, meet in a culture center.

Mark Lee has a crush on the guy he sits next to in his Japanese course.
Meanwhile, Lee Donghyuck is pretty sure his Canadian deskmate can’t speak Korean... or Japanese.

[Story format switch between chat format and normal writing(?)]

Chapter 1: 해찬 : 平助

Summary:

Mark Lee is an actual mess and Donghyuck thinks it's cute- kind of.
Lee Minhyung really loves to put his social (love?) life in turmoil.

Notes:

Yes, I named it after a 127 song, sue me.

Disclaimer, I'm shit at writing.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

"Masato-San, I hope you're having a good time chatting as Heisuke-San does all the work that the two of you should be doing," their Japanese teacher announces, a hand stretched out on Mark's desk.

The young adult mummers a sorry and turns his body to face his partner Heisuke or Haechan, a nickname given to him by his classmates, and also apologizes to the tanned boy who only shrugs.

‘What a beauty’ Mark ponders with a dumb smile, earning a concerned look from Donghyuck.

‘What the fuck is wrong with this guy…’ Donghyuck thinks as the blond boy next to him giggles and shuffles closer to the redhead. ‘Maybe he’s high…’

The two were supposed to be reviewing some hiragana spelling of some of the objects around them, the two stay silent and would sloppily note down some items. Mark was never really sure how the fuck Yuta became bilingual as quickly as he did in this course because, frankly speaking, it was slow as fuck.

“Mark?”

Mark quickly looked up from spelling こくばん or 黒板 characters that for what he hopes spells blackboard. “Yes?”

“Since we’re partners on this project, would you like to take time to find some shit for it?” Donghyuck asks as he corrects Mark’s spelling on one of the hiragana characters.

‘Oh fuck, this is happening… okay! Mark, we can do this! Wecandothiswecandothiswecan’ Marks scrunches up his face, ‘Oh shit, he’s looking-  what would Jaehyun do?’ the Canadian makes another face ‘Wait! No, don’t follow in Jaehyun’s steps, we can’t boast his ego. What would Taeil do?’

Donghyuck sits there just staring at Mark blankly, ‘Does he not understand what I’m saying? Shit, I should’ve known- the guy didn’t even freaking know that a mosquito coil was,’

Donghyuck is soon interrupted by his thoughts, “Yes!” Mark answers him in english and Donghyuck slowly nods.

“Give me your contact info,” the younger of the two boldly demands as he gestures to his own device.

Mark flushes, “S-Sure!” he stumbles to look through his bomber jacket’s pockets, he only finds a flaky wallet, a set of keys, Hansol’s weird ass gum, and a folded up paper of Yuta’s drawing of bishounens.

The blonde starts to panic, ‘I could’ve sworn that I had it with me just a second ago! What if someone figures out my password is 1-1-1-1? What if they look through my posts? I should’ve known being a meme lord would come bite me in the ass!’ Mark gasps ‘What if they fucking look through my history? I FUCKING KNEW I SHOULDN’T HAVE LINKED MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT ON MY PHONE,’

The sound of a clearing throat is heard and Mark whips his head towards Donghyuck who looks very unimpressed by his actions.

“Your phone is in front of you, fam,” the redhead motions towards the teenager’s cracked iPhone. Mark puts a hand over his heart, “Thank fuck.”

‘I’m such a loser’ Mark groans inside his head.

‘He’s acting like a lost puppy, kind of cute,” Donghyuck thinks as he starts to type in his information on Mark’s phone, ‘Reminds me of when I first Renjun and Sicheng!’

The mischievous teen smiles widely as he hands Mark his possession.

‘Shit.’

Mark squints, he has legitimately only been gone for 10 minutes.

Class is over but he stays in the lobby to see Donghyuck talk to a tall handsome boy who seems to be handing him a treat. Mark’s stomach tightens.

Donghyuck makes an excited squeal and it makes Mark’s heart melt.

He sees the redhead and the tall boy wait in front of the Korean course room, after a few more people gather, they all start to walk out of the building.

Soon enough, Mark is driving himself home and sings along the road, Teenage Dirtbag, what a classic. He's still singing as he enters his household and encounters his younger brother's judgmental stares.

"Fuck off Jisung,"

"Go to hell Minhyung!"

Mark rolls his eyes at the 15 year old, makes his way towards the ice cream and sits on his comfortable couch to binge watch his shows. Two hours and a half in, Mark is accompanied by a plate of cold fries, a stuffed animal, a box of tissues, and the rest of his half melted vanilla ice cream.

'Fuck, Jinu, whyyyy'

The doorbell rings and Mark's ears perk up but Jisung seems to be quiet enthusiastic by the sound and rushes his way down the stairs. 

The younger sibling pulls the door open and Mark has a heart attack, not that he knows what it feels like to have one but he's pretty sure he's having one, right now.

Chenle was there which means it's no surprise to see Renjun but what really throws Mark off it the other four other guys that seem to be around his age.

"Oh, hey Mark!" an angel greets him and Mark giggles stupidly.

"Oh, hey chan," Mark jokes and everybody turns to stare at him. Even Renjun, an actual saint, doesn't respond to the awful pun.

'Did I just-'

Jisung looks and his friends and quickly glances at Mark, "This is why I always ask to go to your house, Chenle."

Notes:

I just want more Markhyuck and, honestly, more Donghyuck in my life.

Do I actually know Japanese? I'm working on it, don't worry about it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

I should sleep.
