Something Mark enjoyed a lot when going back to Los Angeles was being able to go to the ocean again. He grew up in a house fifty metres away from the open ocean and more or less spent half of his childhood there. It wouldn't always have to be to swim or actually being in the water but just simply being around it. The ocean was something Mark could relate to. It could be calm and soothing for people, but it could also be very wild and bothersome, which is something he'd gotten told over and over that he was.
The ocean would not only remind him of his childhood but also of all the beautiful moments he shared with his fellow group members. They all loved the beach and used to go there whenever they were free when they were trainees. The place held such a personal perspective in his heart.
"Mark-hyung~", Jackson sang through their room. They had a day off and they all felt like sleeping through the day. "Can't we go to the beach?"
"Jackson, it's very sunny outside."
"PD Park Jinyoung doesn't even mind if we get tanned you know."
"...Okay, let's go."
Mark wouldn't say it out loud, but he was more than thankful to Jackson for the suggestion.
