   Summary

   Donghyeok can pretend all he wants that this wasn’t on purpose. He can tell himself, his members, his mom that he’s been too busy to see Mark. The world didn’t stop turning just because his best friend left his side. Donghyeok still had two bands to represent. Donghyeok had schedules to attend to, fan signs to log on to, songs to record. His free time kept slipping away, dwindling into nothing as he was given more and more and more.

   That’s not the whole truth though.
