"did you hear the news?" mark asked me, bright and early monday morning. in truth, mark is the only reason i enjoy this class.

im not the best at geometry, despite being an advanced student in general. my teacher isn't a very good teacher. he can't teach, i know this because ive talked amongst my peers and they all struggle as well.

"news?" i asked, my ears perking in interest. gossip is big amongst students, and i usually get filled in by hyuck, but he was still out.

mark smirked and stole the seat next to me, arching his eyebrows. "oh trust me, you're gonna love this." my patience was running out and i needed this to hurry up for the sake of my sanity.

"some kids were walking through the halls after school yesterday and they found mr. ten and mr. seo in the writing classroom, getting it on." mark said, giggling at the end.

mr. seo was one of the biology teachers, more specifically mark and i's teacher. mr. ten was the thai writing teacher who had a name longer than yuta's chin.

"what?" i asked, giggling along.

"yeah, and by some kids, i mean just me. no one else besides you and i know. feel special baby park."

my heart leaped in my chest at the sound of baby being in a sentence that involved me in it. i was caught by surprise and was struck silent.

"jisung?" mark said, suddenly, pulling me from my thoughts of his voice that i could probably bathe in forever.

i looked over to him and placed my head in my hands. "huh?"

"whats up with renjun and sicheng? i mean since we're so close i want to know about your friends." he said, making me think about whether i should even tell him.

i mean, it was common knowledge to anyone who even knew the huang family name and associated the two with it that they had some bonding issues.

"well," i began, opting to give a shortened version of it. "renjun is chenle's half brother, meaning renjuns dad married chenles mom. from his first marriage he had sicheng, who is 18 now and renjun. when their parents first divorced, sicheng moved to japan with their mom, taking her surname." i said, moving my hands with the words that spilled from my mouth.

"despite how many times their dad and renjun told him that the new family is amazing, and not replacing their mother, sicheng just can't adapt to it."

mark watched me the whole time with a small smile tugging at his pink  lips. "you talk with your hands? thats adorable."

once again i was left speechless by something he said, but i was saved by our teacher telling us to pull out our books and begin working.

a/n- i hope this further explains the family situation with renjun. sorry if it seems confusing lmao
