“Okay, so.”

“So.”

“So…”

Sighing, Renjun closed his eyes and massaged his temples before opening them to land on the older male in front of him - curved eyebrows that looked like seagulls and lips pressed into a thin line. 

“Look, I get that this is some weird post break-up reunion…” He heard Donghyuck start, the younger sitting next to him and sipping on the iced coffee that Renjun had paid for since Donghyuck coincidentally didn’t bring his wallet. “But we need the conversation to get somewhere.”

“Why didn’t you tell me about…well…” Mark said softly, gesturing between them. “This? Hyuck, I’m like one of your best friends and, Renjun, I thought we had an agreement!”
