prologue
This DecemberIt had been nearly two years since Mark had started living with his group of friends. The seven guys, including him, had decided to live together as they attend the same university. It was also because none of them really wanted to live in the university’s dormitories, where there were rules and restrictions.
Then there was also this other similarity that they shared – all of them were majoring in either acting or music.
It has also been nearly a year since Mark fell into depression and had resorted to cutting. It wasn’t really surprising that nobody, even his best friend Jackson, knew of his mental illness. He was an acting major after all.
Mark doesn’t even know how he fell into depression in the first place.
Perhaps it was because he had always felt unloved.
Perhaps it was because his parents never paid attention to him, and because his acquaintances always had friends who were better than him.
Perhaps it was because he was Mark Tuan. Being the quiet person he is, nobody ever bothered to befriend him.
But Jackson Wang was different. Jackson Wang was the one who introduced him to the others: Jaebum, Jinyoung, Yugyeom, Youngjae and Kunpimook.
Mark thinks Jackson is odd, because nobody had ever befriended a loser like him.
Jackson thinks Mark is a mystery, one that he would like to unravel.
What Jackson doesn’t know
