Stepping into the room, he notices his brother doing something on his bed, and his actions show it was in secret. He was on the top bunk bed, so it wasn't obvious, unless you're use to it. He climbs up his own bunk, and peeks over to the other.

"Is that an art set? Where did you get that Renjun?" his head shot up, and Chenle could see he became really nevous, trying to hide the box. Chenle jumped down from his bed and climbed the other, sitting next to his brother.

"Were you drawing something? Come on! Let me see!" he tugged his brother's arm, and Renjun let out a sigh as he pulled the paper out from underneath the pillow. He slowly held it up, and the smile across Chenle's face slowly faded.

"Is this..." Renjun nodded before he could finish asking. Four boys, in the drawing, holding hands and smiling, two tall and the other two shorter. It wasn't a very accurate drawing, more like a caricature, but it showed what Renjun wanted it to. Chenle handed it back to him, and his eyes fell on the box.

"Where did you get that?"

"Don't tell anyone. Lami gave it, as a gift." Chenle furrowed his eyebrows, leaving Renjun with a confused look.

"Was it a... friendship thing?" Renjun nodded.

"Jeno! Hurry, I need to shower too!" Haechan banged on the door out loud, and it finally opened, revealing a topless, wet boy. He stepped out and stared at Haechan.

"Finally!" he huffed, pushing Jeno aside to enter the bathroom. Jeno simply stood away and dried his hair with the towel, when the door suddenly creaked.

"What are doing? Hurry and wear something before ma'am sees. You can't stay out like this!" Jaemin yelled as he threw a random shirt at his twin.

"Sorry. Haechan kept yelling to shower, so I left my shirt inside." he pulled the shirt over, and the bathroom opened.

"Jeno. Is this yours? It was on the sink rack?" Haechan comes out holding what seemed like a band. Jaemin's eyes squinted as he tried to make it out, when Jeno suddenly snatched it from away. The other two only watched him as he put it on and hid it under his sleeve.

"Jeno. What is that?" Jaemin held his arm up and pulled down his sleeve, revealing a bracelet. Jeno quickly hid it again.

"Where did you get that? If they see you're dead!" Haechan whisper yelled. They both stared at the boy, waiting for an explanation, while he looked down, sliding his foot side to side, his eyes shaking. They heard a weird noise, and all turned to the door to see a small mouse.

"AHH! JAEMIM GET THE BROOM! KILL IT!" Haechan screamed as he ran back into the toilet while Jeno jumped onto bed. Jaemin took the broom and snuck up behind it, swinging the broom, but instead, hitting something else.

"OW! Jaemin stop!" he took a peek, and was shocked.

"Jisung! What are you doing? Where's the mouse?" Jisung stood up rubbing his shoulder with one hand while the other behind his back. Jaemin looked behind him, but Jisung kept moving.

"What's behind you? Show me." Jisung shook his head, moving back.

"PARK JISUNG!" Jaemin yelled softly, and Jisung slowly pulled her hand out, causing Jaemin and Jeno to gasp aloud.

"WHY IS IT IN YOUR HAND!?! LET GO!" Jaemin held up the broom, ready to swing, but Jisung only held it closer to him, hiding it in both his hands.

"No please. It's my pet! I usually keep it in the garden, but he snuck in. Let him go. I won't let it happen again." the two gawked at him, surprised by what he actually said. Jisung hung his head low, staring at the mouse.

"OK. I'll let him go. But, you have to promise me not to kill anymore mice. Just help them escape, please?" they only looked at him, no words coming out. Jeno then stepped forward.

"Jisung. I think we deserve an explanation. You can't just tell us to not kill them. Ma'am and sir will get mad. Why are you doing this?" Jisung kept the mouse in his hand and sat on his bed petting it. Jaemin and Jeno sat on either side of him, waiting.

"Please don't tell anyone. I went out one day after school, before Mark's session ended. Lami took me to the pet store near the school. She showed me how to love animals, so... I've kept this mouse since I found it in the kitchen a week ago." Jaemin rollrd his eyes back.

"Jisung do you have any idea what could've happened if they saw? Are you stupid? You can't just keep that thing in the house!" he yelled, causing Jisung's eyes to water. Haechan was already out of the bathroom and stood aside watching Jaemin scold him. Jisung kept his head low as tears started to form in his eyes. Jeno noticed and pet his back.

"Stop Jaemin. I think we made it clear. Besides, he's not doing something extremely wrong, especially... When others are equally guilty." he hung his head low, Jaemin giving a questioning look.

"That bracelet... Was from Lami. She took me to a shop after I did the grocery shopping, and bought it for me." he looked down, and they turned as they heard Haechan sigh.

"She... Teaches me how to cook, Lami. Whenever I go to get bread, I get a quick lesson." he looks away guilty.

"Well, I guess I'm in no place to say anything. I went for ice cream with her before. And got this little charm thingy. I plan on going again too."

While walking across the yard, he spots Lami sitting alone with a sketchpad. He tries to walk past her but failed.

"Mark! Look! Do you think it's nice?" she holds up her sketchpad, revealing a drawing of, what looked like to Mark, a very glittery dress. He squints his eyes to see it, then simply nods.

"What is that?"

"It's... A dress... That I really want to get. It doesn't exist yet. It's my own design!" she said as she went back to sketching. Mark simply nodded and walked away, going back to his class. He sat in his place, and noticed Koeun counting money under her table. He eyed her, and she quickly hid it when she realised.

"Did you... Steal?" Koeun scoffed.

"No stupid. But... Act like you didn't see that, please." he furrowed his eyebrows, and Koeun knew she would have to explain.

"It's for Lami. There's this dress that she wants. She designed it herself, but, it's hard to get someone to make it, especially when it's really creative. So I save money to help her. I sold my old anime collection today, and got this. Don't tell her please. She'll kill me if she finds out." Mark nodded and went back to taking out his things, unintentionally thinking about that dress.
