Summary
Sungchan didn’t have to know—he didn’t mind, but he would rather not. He was the type to get jealous, yes, but being jealous wasn’t compatible with having Haechan in your orbit, and, like he said, there was never a Donghyuck without Mark. Long before Sungchan met him—them—their lives had tangled past hope for excision, mutually-assured meltdowns with collateral far beyond the reach of the rooms they silently fumed in.
Mark was a moneymaker; Haechan kept him sharp, because he kept him wanting.
260131 SMT. Sungchan and Haechan reunite backstage.

Summary
“Does he make you happy?” Taeyong asked him, suddenly. “Ah,” assumed the worst when Mark hesitated, but he had caught him off-guard, that’s all.
It wasn’t often people cared to ask about the good stuff, why they were still together. It didn’t fit their narrative to accept that there was truth to their moniker, that, when and where it mattered, Mark wanted Donghyuck by his side on the thing he most prized. If the music outlived him—which it would, he was certain—then, everyone, forever, would know there was never a question about his loyalty to Donghyuck.
260201 SMT. Mark survives a night without Haechan.
