➳♡ private chat ~ mark & jeno

@➳♡ lee jeno say less. after placing the dishes in the sink, he takes the dry towel and settles beside you. well, which opinion do you identify with most these days? don’t hold back on me. he playfully nudges his shoulder against yours.

@➳♡ mark lee the corner of his lips curls up into a small cheeky grin upon seeing the blush on your face, humming softly as he takes the remaining dishes following you from behind. oooh, now that's fun. hmm god i have a lot its soooo hard to pick one. he pretends to rub his chin while thinking about the question. oh i can wash!

@➳♡ lee jeno his features heat up in rouge a bit at the acknowledgment, still not focusing his gaze on yours. he proceeds to start grabbing the dishes, piling them in a decent amount of weight for him to carry towards the kitchen area. so, tell me a controversial opinion you have. he switches up the subject, a devilish grin making its way. also, do you want to wash or dry?

@➳♡ mark lee well maybe i am a little bit embarrassed but it's alright, you'll probably know about it later anyway. he shrugs a little as he keep his eyes on your face, quietly scanning your expression. well you might think i am not lucky but either way i believed that i am. oh - you're so adorable, minhyung. he lightly bumps his foot with yours again as he tilts his head. you never spoke too much and it's alright if anything. oh sure! we should definitely clean up.

@➳♡ lee jeno oyyy my bad, i didn’t think it would get you embarrassed. he chuckles, a bit awkward and sort of feeling bad. to be fair, that’s what dating is all about. you check and see who matches your vibe most and so forth. you’ll always start with a roster. he nods, finishing up what’s left on his plate while listening to you more. please. i’m no where near popular, and you’re not lucky, bye. it would be narcissistic if i believed that hahaha but you did succeed in catching my attention the most, yes. and i like how you don’t hide your interest or make it hard to understand your intentions. but anyways… not sure if spoke too much at this point. he looks away while taking the last bit of his water. let me help you with the dishes.

@➳♡ mark lee geez, you are really curious about it hmph. he purses his lips out as he looks down at his bowl gently poking onto the vegetable using his chopstick in shy manner. i - well top three? and no i am not saying which tsk. blinks slowly as he try to process your words. really? ohh mr popular huh? well guess i am lucky. he flashes a small sheepish smile as his hand reaches out for the drink, taking a sip. i guess i am the same type too. if i like someone and decided to pursue them, i will just pour everything in that person. heh guess the genie heard my wish.

@➳♡ lee jeno keeps your legs hooked to mine, your warmth providing the comfort i want. one of ‘those’ people? what rank was i in then? i mean, i had a couple more matches but i liked you most. you seemed to show more interest, really, and yk how i am. once i’ve made my mind on someone all of my focus goes directly onto them. so ig your wish did come true.

@➳♡ mark lee shhh you see nothing. he huffs out softly likes child, nose scrunched up as he lightly bumps his foot against yours in reply. i mean well - ehem. he laughs out nervously as he flash a small cheeky grin. well you see - it's normal to find your members attractive and probably want to date them, yes. buuut do i have the courage? not really. you're one of those people, mmhm. sure if you find someone else, i would be happy for you either way buuut do i wish it could've been me? definitely.

@➳♡ lee jeno oh? i swear i only saw you eat meat and rice, but i probably wasn’t paying attention. beats me. he took another bite of his food, casually rubbing your foot under the table while the conversation continues its flow. mm - true, but seeing how we are, it gives me the impression that i’ve been under your radar for quite a bit. am i right?

@➳♡ mark lee he playfully squints his eyes when you placed down the vegetables on his plate, pouting a little as he reaches out to eat it. hmph, i ate enough veggies already. popular visual hm? i think if it's popular, it should be you tho. he blinks slowly at your comment as he blushes, pretending to look away coughing a little. you're so cheesy - but i like it. ah johnny hyung did? not surprised if it's him pfft. yeah i was shocked to see many of us as well, guess we have been a little bit too busy to even date.

@➳♡ lee jeno call it a world wonder. he reaches forward to put more vegetables on your plate, his grin widening. you need more veggies, little pup. and oh? i’m surprised you didn’t, really. you’re a popular visual and fun to talk to. but i guess you were meant to be mine. he shrugs with his impish grin, taking a quick sip of his water. mm… i was surprised to see many of us nct members, but same here, johnny mentioned it to me so i joined for the fun of it mostly. there was not an expectation on my end.

@➳♡ mark lee oh? that's fun, mmhm i mean if you want to i won't stop you anyway. after all its rare to eat something being cooked by chef mark. he grins sheepishly as he reaches out to grab some of the meat, carefully placing it on his own bowl. ah well it's pretty fun and interesting? oh! yeah, a close friend of mine told me about it so i was pretty curious and why not anyway? it's not like i got anyone pfft. yeah you're right about that. what about you tho?

@➳♡ lee jeno i wouldn’t mind learning a recipe or two though. i’m sure there will be days where you find yourself tired. he nodded once more but to himself, his gaze on the hearty meal while he added a bit of a side dish on his plate. appreciate it. so, care to share me your thoughts on the dating app? it’s funny because i didn’t think i’d really find you in it. but you are a curious dude so i guess it shouldn’t be that surprising.

@➳♡ mark lee he hums out softly as he shoves another spoonful of rice inside his mouth, nodding his head in agreement as he recalls back the incident while chewing the food, only talking after he finished doing so. mmhm! of course, it's so funny pfft. it's alright, i can cook for us instead. he gives you a sheepish yet shy grin upon receiving the compliment. thanks, mark. mhm i think you're just biased but it's okay heh. enjoy the food and eat lots! i did make them for you after all.

@➳♡ lee jeno his gaze follows your movements, taking a hold of his spoon before pressing it onto the rice. you do remember the time i burnt an egg, right? it’s sort of a staple to my name, please. he dips a bit of the rice onto the broth, taking his first bite; a nod coming right after. this is great, jeno. lowkey reminds me of the time all of us dream members spent the summer up in the woods and we cooked it then. yours is better though. or maybe i’m biased?

@➳♡ mark lee he hums out softly as he scoots over to scoop out the rice placing them in bowls before placing one right in front of you then shuffles over to his seat sitting down as well. well you did your bestest that's for sure pfft. as long as you did not burn down the kitchen it should be fine? hehe. you are welcome, mark. he reaches out for his spoon taking some of the dishes before carefully eating it. you should eat up!

@➳♡ lee jeno just in general. so far as we’re getting to know each other. he takes his seat across from yours, taking in the sight of all the dishes perfectly aligned on the table. same here. i’m not much of a cooker myself, as you’ve witnessed in the past. but this looks really good, jeno. thank you for the food. he nods but prefers to wait on you out of curtesy.

@➳♡ mark lee he leans onto the pat for a second before blinking in surprise at your words. geez, you keep calling me cute. what did i do even? tsk tsk. he huffs out softly as his cheeks heats up just a tad bit following you closely as they walked over to the dining room. scared - its fineeeee. its edible and good hmph. i mean i prefer cooking simple things if anything you know, nothing too complicated.

@➳♡ lee jeno his grin softens at your expression, reaching to gently pat your cheek before adding. there’s more to come if you continue being a cutie. he winks, now guiding you out of the room and heading towards the shared dining room. should i be scared of your cooking? no idea, i didn’t know you had a thing for the culinary arts.

@➳♡ mark lee of course! i am confident in my skills you know. he bats his eyelashes for a moment before bursting out into a soft laughter, eyes crinkled into crescents shape as he scrunched his nose up, stopping his movement upon hearing your words. mhm? oh - now i did not expect that. his face instantly soften at the sight of bouquet before reaching out his hands to take it with a shy expression. thank you, you are so sweet. i love it so much. he stares down at flowers for a moment before looking back up at you smiling bashfully.

@➳♡ lee jeno his attention shifted from playing games on his phone to you, your smile contagious enough to make him smile. excited, aren’t we? he teases as you drag him, but he stops you for a moment. give me a sec— he turns to the desk in his room to grab a bouquet of roses he secured during our last phone conversation, handing them to you with a rather bashful expression. you said your favorite color is between red and blue, i couldn’t choose just one so i had the florist do her work with both.

@➳♡ mark lee he excitedly walks over to the familiar door, giving it a couple of knocks before opening it slowly peeking his head in to look at you with a small grin. ready for the date? i prepared the ingredients already heh. lets go lets go. shuffles inside the room to tug onto your arm as gentle as he could.
