On a Tuesday of June 7th, Vicky was one of the few students who were still taking their final exams for Beginner's Mandarin Chinese I. Mark had finished a while ago and left within forty minutes of the two hour exam. Vicky envied him since he finished quickly, although it wasn't really his fault since he did know the language a lot better than she did. Plus, he finished his speaking part with the teacher in less than two minutes compare to her which was close to six minutes. Vicky let out a soft sigh of relief as she finished the last question and double checked her work. As much as she was a fast test taker, she didn't want to rush this class as she needed to pass since it was her only class this semester and she needed to keep her perks or Aunt Julisa would lose face.

Once Vicky finished double checking everything and changing some of her answers after much analyzation, she turned in her exam with a happy smile and turned to Teacher Cuī while thanking her for her teaching. "Cuī lǎo shī, xiè xie nǐ jiāo wó xué Hànyǔ." Vicky politely bowed at her as Teacher Cuī bowed back in the same manner with a genuine smile. "Bú yòng kè qi. Wǒ hěn lèyi!" "Zài jiàn, Cuī lǎo shī." Vicky bid farewell as the teacher did the same thing. "Zài jiàn, Cài Wěi Qí." Vicky walked out of the classroom with a burden lifted off of her shoulders and was greeted by the bright sun and she let out another breath of air. "Finally it's over." She expressed in English with content. "Now all that's left is nothing, but summer vacation."

Vicky was about to walk off, but she stumbled back when something from behind her prevented her from doing so. Vicky turned her head around to look behind her and gave the person a confused look while still speaking in English. "I thought you left?" "I did." Mark beamed at her. "Then why are you still here?" "Waiting for you." Vicky switched to Chinese for fun. "Wèi shén me?" "Yīn wèi."Mark shrugged with a teasing smile as he let go of her backpack as Vicky just gave him a look and then remembered something and switched to English. "This kinda reminds me on the first day of class, but I left first and you came after me." Mark laughed. "It does, doesn't it? Because you didn't say goodbye." Vicky nodded her head and began to walk with Mark matching her strides. "True, but I was trying to escape from your fans, especially the girls, but you just had to stop me that time."

"What?!" Mark shot her a surprised look. "I thought you were trying to be nice and respectful." "Wǒ shuō huǎng." Vicky winked telling him she lied and stuck out her tongue at him while he shook his head with a chuckle. "You're a jerk." Vicky cast him a grin before facing ahead again. "Of course, but calling me a jerk might make you seem like a jerk, too." Mark laughed. "Touché." She then looked behind her to see if anyone else left the classroom, but no one came out and she cast the idol beside her another look before looking foward again. "You may want to hurry, Mark. Duàn one and Wáng one are still in there." Vicky informed him. Ever since the second day of class Vicky had referred all the Duàns and Wángs by numbers as an inside joke with Mark and whenever she wanted to mention them in conversation without them actually knowing what she was talking about.

"Actually, I'm safe since they'll still be in there for a little while longer." Mark chuckled as Vicky nodded her head and Mark continued. "Anyways, I already told Manager Seunghoon not to pick me up." Vicky gave him a weird look as he smiled innocently at her. "What do you mean by that?" "I was going to accompany you to your English course anyways." Vicky chuckled feeling sorry for the guy. "Too bad for you, I don't have to go." "Wait, what? Why?" Mark stopped walking and grabbed Vicky by her backpack again out of habit. Vicky jerked backward and gave him a look, but answered him anyways. "Because I gave the test to my students earlier last Tuesday instead of this Tuesday. Didn't the boys tell you?" "No." "I thought they would since they did an amazing job and passed with flying colors. Of course the accent is still there, but other than that, they did great."

"No wonder they were relaxing around the dorm instead of panicking to get in some last minute studying this morning." Mark muttered to himself while Vicky shook her head as the two started walking again. "Poor you, but it's okay. Out of the three, Junior's grammar and comprehension is the best. He'll be able to hold a conversation on his own. Youngjae catches on very quickly when conversing. Yugyeom tends to forget a word or two, but he engages quite well. I'm surprised they caught on honestly, because I thought I was a horrible teacher." Vicky let out an embarrassed laugh. "They also helped the other students in class, and I was happy to see them all interact with one another and just get so excited speaking in English." "Maybe you're not such a bad teacher after all." Mark complimented with a genuine look. "Thanks, man." Vicky smiled at him.

They ended up at the parking lot where Mark just casually walked with Vicky assuming he was automatically invited along. "Well, I'm done with school. What are you going to do then?" Vicky asked the idol as she reached her car. "Go with you." Mark cheekily replied. "Um..." She gave him a suspicous and funny look. "I'm going to meet up with Naly and Jenny after this." "Oh? You're going out for your 'young adult fun' tonight." Mark air quoted as he said it with a knowing smile. "Actually, yeah. How you know?" "Because that 'young adult fun' plan," He air quoted once more with a secretive smile, "Has been changed to something else." "I don't get it." "I can see why Natalie gets annoyed with you easily." Vicky narrowed her eyes at him as she unlocked her driver's side door and got in without responding back as she tossed her bag onto the backseat of her car and closed the door.

Mark was about to follow, but the passenger's side door was still locked. Vicky laughed. "Ahh, gotta love the child proof locks." There was a knock on her window as Mark looked through the glass. "Hey, let me in." Vicky heard him while she shook her head playfully as she started her car. "Aww, c'mon, Vicky." Mark then pouted and Vicky made a face as she rolled her window slightly down. "Just call your manager to pick you up." "I don't want to." "Don't be such a brat, Mark." "Just let me in, Wěi Qí tóng xué." He said her name in Chinese. "Bù xiǎng, Yí Ēn tóng xué." Vicky answered back in Chinese that she didn't want to with a laugh. Mark pouted. "I thought we were homies." "I don't have any homies and stop pouting. It's ugly." "Don't lie, Vicky. I know you like my pout and that I'm you best home boy."

"Yeah, if I was my sister." Vicky grumbled to herself with a roll of her eyes as she put on her seatbelt and then faced Mark again while rolling down the passenger's window a bit more. "How about you go bother my sister instead? We're totally alike. I'll even give you the address to her dormitory." Mark scrunched up his face while shaking his head. "We're not that close like I am with you." Vicky turned away rolling her eyes and muttered to herself once more. "OK, coming from the guy that stole her oatmeal and ate it all using the same spoon that she did." She faced him again. "Why do you want to come with me so badly?" Vicky asked him as she leaned closer to the passenger side and rolled her window down a little more to see his face clearly. "Don't you have other things to do like prepare for your summer special comeback or something instead of like bothering me right now?"

"Actually yes, I do. GOT7 has a lot of stuff to do for this month, July and after, but as of right now, no." He smiled at her while he reached an arm through her window which gave him enough room to do so as he tried to find the button to unlock the door. "Oh, so now you're tryna break into my car?" Vicky asked amused. "Nah. I'm tryna unlock the door so that I can enter my home girl's car while the said home girl is being a total jerk about it." Mark was unsuccessful in finding the switch. "Where is it?" Vicky laughed as she repositioned herself and unlock the door for him to enter. "Hurry up, home boy." "Yes!" Mark let out happily as he removed his arm from the window, opened the door, and got in while tossing his own bag into the back. "You're a real meanie." "Wǒ zhī dào." Vicky then pulled out her phone and messaged the girls. "Anyways, what did you mean that the plans have changed for tonight?" She looked over at Mark once she was done sending the texts.

"I don't know. That's what I was supposed to tell you after your English class." Mark shrugged as he began to mess with Vicky's radio instead. "Which one of them told you that?" "Both of them." "OK, so am I'm still meeting them at Seouldae or no?" "Nope. Going back home." Vicky narrowed her eyes at him. "That's why you're riding with me instead of calling your manager, huh?" "Yup." "You're such a butthead." "A cute butthead." "Yeah, I'll make sure to let all of the Ahgase Tunas know that." "Haha, I still can't get over the 'tuna' thing. Anyways, they already think I'm a fcukboy, so there's no difference." He shot her a cheeky look after finding a music station he liked. "Yeah, and they also think you're gay, have a soft spot for Junior, and wonder if Jessica Koh is still an ex, current girlfriend, or just a very special friend to you." Vicky muttered to herself as she reversed her car out of its parking space. "Say something?" Mark asked and Vicky shook her head. "Nothing."

"Go to your tent!" Vicky told Mark as she pointed in the direction of his apartment as Vicky reached her place and had bid the idol goodbye, but he didn't walk on. "Wait, what? Tent?" Mark let out in confusion as he gave her a funny look. "Sorry, I watched Mulan last night. Anyways, why aren't you going to your own apartment?" "Why are you always trying to get rid of me?" "Because you're annoying and I want to be alone." "I am not annoying." "I always say it so that people will leave me alone." "Why?" "The same reason why you want Jackson to shut up majority of the time." "Touché." The two continued to just stand outside of Vicky's apartment. "You're not gonna leave, huh?" "Nope." He grinned at her. "Fine. Come in. I guess." "You're the best." "Mmhmm."

Once they entered Mark already made a beeline to Vicky's game system. "Of course you just wanted to play video games." "Duh." Mark laughed as he stuck his tongue out at her before putting his backpack aside and setting up the Playstation 2 console. Vicky instead entered her room to put away her things, popped out her contacts, and grabbed her decent homebody clothes and a towel. She exited her room and walked towards the bathroom, but Mark called out for her. "Hey, come race me." "No." Vicky instantly denied him as Mark looked over at her. "Why not?" "I'm going to shower. I'm sure you can entertain yourself." "Your shower can't wait?" "No. I just don't want to play games with you." Vicky laughed just as she closed the bathroom's door while Mark rolled his eyes and focused his attention on Need For Speed: Underground 2. "If she has a man, then I feel sorry for him."

Vicky finished her shower and got dressed in less than fifteen minutes. She used her towel to dry her hair as she came out of the bathroom when she heard more than one voice. Vicky looked over and saw two other blurry figures with Mark. "No, turn, turn, turn!" One of them yelled in Korean who she recognized as Jackson, at both Mark and the other guy who had the controllers in their hands as the both of them ended up crashing into something. "Gah, I told you guys to turn!" Jackson let out in frustration although he was just watching them. "You guys don't ever listen to me." He was eating something and Vicky couldn't make it out, but she rolled her eyes as she went to put her towel away. She came back out and watched them replaced Need For Speed with Mortal Kombat: Deception with glasses on this time and saw that the other guy was JB and they were eating her leftover pizzas and burgers.

"Don't y'all have anything else better to do than play video games and eat here? Like preparing for your comeback?" Vicky asked them as the trio slightly jumped upon hearing her and turned with innocent expressions to look at her. "Weren't you showering?" Mark spoke first. "I finished a while ago." "Don't you girls take like an hour or something?" Jackson asked confused. "I'm not like most girls. I take ten to fifteen minutes." "If you don't want
