Chapter Text
Being famous was not easy, and Mark Lee knew that better than anyone. He had debuted three times already, and was always working. He was either learning and perfecting a coreography, writings lyrics or practicing his rapping skills. He knew he needed a brake, so he chose to ask his company, SM Entertainment, for a two day vacation, which they surprisingly agreed to.
He instantly knew where he wanted to go, and with who he wanted to go there.
Kang Mina would be lying if she said she hadn’t been surprised when she saw that the ID caller that morning has been Mark. He had told her some days before that he was going to be real busy that month and was not going to have a lot of time to have their late night talks as they usually did.
“Mina!” Mark exclaimed right after she answered, “Wanna go on a two day vacation?” he asked quickly.
“Hello, Mina? How are you? Everything good? I’m so glad!” she said sarcastically, as she usually did with Mark.
Mark Lee was her best friend. They had met at the School of Performing Arts in Korea, where they both studied. They hit it off really well after they first met, and became best friends quickly over time. Years had passed and they still had that friendship that they both cherished so much.
“Shut up and answer me.” he said, and she could imagine him rolling his eyes.
“Um, I think I have a clear schedule this week, let me check.” she said, standing from her bed and quickly walking to her desk, where she had a little calendar in which she wrote her schedule, “Yeah, the girls and I will be free wednesday and tuesday, why?”
“Do you want to go to Jeju Island?” he asked right away, no hesitation in his voice.
“Jeju? This wednesday?”
“Yeah, and ask Sejeong too, Sehun is coming too and I don’t really want to third wheel, so you cannot say no to this.” he said, “Plus, you’ll be spending time with me! Your best friend who hasn’t seen you in a month besides the video chats we have!” he said with an excited tone.
Okay, she’ll give him that. Mina did miss Mark, they used to meet every third friday of the month so they could just hang out and talk, but both their schedules had gotten way to hectic and just didn’t have time for each other.
Plus, she knew Sejeong would want to go, and she couldn’t leave Mark to third-wheel with Sehun and Sejeong, it had happened to her before and it was not fun.
“Okay, okay. I’ll go, let me ask Sejeong when she comes back from grocery shopping and I will tell you if she wants to go or not.”
“We both know she will.” Mark said, “Well, call me later, okay?”
Mina nodded, even though she knew Mark was not able to see her, “Yes, will do. Love you!”
“Love you too, Mina. Take care! Bye!
