"Hey there pup." Was the first thing Jeno heard when he came closer to their seats. He choked on air as his ears turn red, not expecting for her to say that word of endearment out loud.

"Gosh you are getting bold." He mumbled loud enough for her to hear. She snickered before turning her chair his way. "So the tea I wanted to tell you is a bit cold but just take it anyways." She started while sipping her latte to add more dramatic effect.

"So you know I got in here just a few months right?" He nodded in acknowledgement. "Well that's because I want to get out of Canada as you know why but there is another reason." Noticing his look of confusion, she continued.

"Mark is actually a trainee and his debut is in 3 days." Jeno malfunctioned for a second while absorbing this piece of news. "MARK IS A TR-" Minseo clamped her hand over his mouth stopping him from repeating that out loud. "Damn pup, I lowered my voice for a reason." She whispered, looking exasperated.

His mind is going haywire with their close proximity as he slowly nodded, reassuring he won't blurt out anything. She pull her hand away as she continued her explanation. "So yeah he is overworking himself so me being the good sister I am, I decided to look after him to make sure he is not neglecting himself in any kind of way." She ended it with a proud smile.

"You idiot." Her smile falter when he said that. "Why did you just leave things just like that. Don't you think it's a bit drastic?" He scolded her lightly at how impulsive she was. She crossed her arms, sulking.

"You and Mark literally share a similar mind. No 'what a great sister you are','you're very thoughtful'. Nope. None of you appreciate my effort to make sure he's in shape." She grumbled, flailing her arms in the air which made the male chuckled in amusement.

"Okay, okay. To be fair, I would do that too if my sister pulls something like that too. Although teasing her is more entertaining." Jeno slightly jumped when a metal ruler was in front of him in a blink of an eye after he said that. His eyes shifted to Minseo who wiggled it aggressively.

"Knowing your idea of teasing, you better say you didn't made her cry." Jeno gulped, avoiding eye contact. That was enough for Minseo to know the answer. She's now raising the ruler in the air.

And if their professor didn't come in right after that, Jeno was sure he would be in the hospital by now.

(.◜◡◝)

"She won't actually do it, you know that." Renjun roll his eyes after hearing Jeno's 'traumatizing' story. They were currently having lunch at an almost empty cafe, the supposed to be 'violent girl' was munching her chocolate chip cookies happily beside her brother.

"So it looks like you finally know Mark is her brother." The male glared at Donghyuck before pushing back his glasses that kept slipping down his nose. Since his eyesight's condition is getting worse, he had no other choice but to wear it more frequently.

"Yes, after you guys kept that a secret from me for god knows how long." He said bitterly, stabbing his innocent fried chicken with his fork mercilessly. He only stop when someone hand him a cookie. He look up to see a smiling Minseo who seem to not realize what was happening.

"Cookie?" That single word was enough for Jeno to give his famous yet rare genuine eye smile, taking the cookie with a lovestruck smile. Jaemin sighed while the others just chuckled seeing how helplessly in love their friend is. As if on cue, Blackpink's Lovesick Girls that was covered by Pentagon started playing through the cafe speakers.

"But the real question is, what did you actually said for Minseo to almost beat your ass with a ruler- sorry that kinda sounds kinky." Jeno choked for the second time of the day but unfortunately this time he was eating while Minseo just glared at Mark who shrugged unapologetically.

"He said something along the lines about getting a whiplash." She answered casually which earned confused glances from the others but looks like Mark got the message as he shut up, not before grumbling about he shouldn't have let her listen in the first place.

"Uno reverse card bitches." She mumbled, smirking as his brother's work had become a blackmail material. "Well what actually happened is...." she glanced at him which he nodded, knowing what she wanted to talk about.

"Jeno told you that he is getting married to me?" Jaemin playfully asked, which made Jeno to look at him in disgust. "Dude that's so gay." Jaemin shrugged as he lean back. "I mean I don't mind having you as my husband, no homo though." Renjun grimaced at the exchange which made him urge Minseo to speak what is actually about.

"...As I was saying, what we actually talk about was our siblings overworking themselves and I was a bit mad at him when he confessed he made his sister cry right after he said he would make sure she was good physically and mentally so yeah the ruler actually was about to do its job for a good cause." She explained which only got nonchalant responses as they know how Jeno is to his sister before Donghyuck frowned, noticing something's off.

"Wait, I get that her sister is a busy woman, but why would Mark overwork himself? Except being a student and a broke human being, he doesn't have anything else to do." Mark slowly rise from his seat, ready to throw hands. Luckily Minseo managed to hold him back.

"I swear I never see someone annoy him as much as you do Hyuck." Minseo commented, slightly shaking her head in disapproval. "Exactly." Mark mumbled, brushing his hair back as it was blocking his vision. Donghyuck got up from his seat and sat beside Mark instead. "Aww Mawk, Hyuckie ish sowwy." He said in high pitch voice, wrapping his hands around the older as he attempted to kiss him.

Minseo sighed before facing the remaining three, ignoring Mark's continuous screaming "Begone thot!" to Donghyuck. "Mark is a trainee so that's why he has been busy lately. His debut is around 3 days." She finished tiredly.

"WHAT?!" Three voice yelled in unison, even Jaemin who is always unbothered look genuinely shocked. Donghyuck had stopped pestering Mark for a moment to comprehend what she said, giving the latter an opportunity to escape.

"Why hadn't you tell us anything huh??" Renjun demanded, trying to look scary but failed as the others just see a baby being sulky. "Sorry guys, it was supposed to be a surprise, but looks like you know it a bit early. But...my other members are still a surprise tho." Mark said, wiggling his eyebrows. They all groaned before an idea struck Donghyuck.

"Hold up! They must have at least release an introduction to members. Mark, which company are you from?" Mark hesitated but gave in. "SM Entertainment." They all look at him as if he's crazy. "Man you picked a tough one." Jaemin commented as the tanned male open his phone and type away aggressively.

"I FOUND IT! Holy moly, Mark it's weird to see your face in a YouTube video with millions of views." He said before tapping on the video. Everyone huddled around as they took a closer look.

Mark's face was there but not fully, as it seem like they didn't want to actually reveal them just yet. But what surprised them was to see three familiar faces. Although it wasn't so clear, they could guess who they are.

"Lucas and Ten hyung???!!! And the freak, TAEYONG HYUNG IS IN HERE TOO???!!!" Mark looked around nervously before putting his mask and cap on, just in case anything happen. Fortunately, their area they choose is pretty private and hidden, so it didn't attract much attention.

"But who are the three others? Why did they just show their silhouette?" Mark pulled his mask down to flash them a cheeky smile before putting it on again.

"They are the biggest surprise. You'll know soon." He said in a singsong voice. They collectively groaned again before deciding they would let that slide for now.

"I'm actually surprised you are still here and not locked up in SM's basement." Donghyuck bite into his food before interrupting. "I'm surprised that he isn't swarm by fans yet." "Thats why he started to wear his cap and mask more often idiot." Jeno pointed out.

"Okay now enough of Mark being a trainee. Minseo, I wanted to ask you for a while. If you lived in Canada, you must have an English name. What is it?" Jaemin asked, looking curious. Mark sudden burst of laughter was the last thing they expected.

"Maria Maria~ Maria Maria~." He proceed to sing, earning confused and judging looks from the others. "What is he high on?" Renjun asked. "Crack." Minseo answered casually before looking up to see all the attention was directed to her. "What?"

"But for real though, Maria Lee is her English name." Mark suddenly said, as if he didn't just act like a madman for a minute straight. "It kinda suits her." Renjun complimented.

"And what actually made you come here?" The siblings shoot each other a look before Minseo nod. "Pup, do the honours for me." Jeno's head shot up as he widened his eyes. Not because he doesn't know which reason he should tell the others but....

"Pup?" Four pair of eyes looked at him teasingly which made him groaned. The smirk on her lips confirmed that she did that on purpose. "Thats for another time. Anyways-" he started to repeat what she said in class earlier to distract them from what they heard earlier.

"That makes sense why you enter in the middle of the semester." Jaemin said. "But that cost your college friends since by the time you came everyone already have their own group." Minseo hummed in agreement.

"But why don't you want anyone to know you are Mark's sister though?" Minseo groaned at the amount of questions she received today. "I feel like I'm taking an exam." She muttered. Luckily Mark helped her out this time.

"Her hanging out with us is already a hot topic. She doesn't want to double the attention. She wants to be acknowledged as her own person, not as my sister. And I don't want her to go through a hard time just because I wanted to be an idol." She just nodded as her energy is now drained.

"Okay thats all for today's interview. Haechan Cam with 37.5 rating has now come to an end. Okay cut!" They just stared at Donghyuck who is in his own world at the moment. Jeno tugged Minseo's sleeve and dragged her with him.

"Let's just leave before we get late for our next class."
