Yugyeom never really missed the hustle and bustle of LA. Even though he’s been there so many times, he’s never liked it.
It’s different up on stage, where the fans cheer him on and cry for him. He knows the stage well. But on these streets, he’s a lost puppy, always unsure, always shy. Even now, he clings to Mark.
It’s a funny sight, a tall and broad man hiding behind a shorter and skinnier one, waiting for Mark to answer questions for him, order for him, speak for him. Mark sometimes prods Yugyeom forward, and Yugyeom gets through his broken (but a bit better) English.
Maybe he shouldn’t hide behind Mark, Yugyeom had been practising English enough that he wouldn’t have to, but it gives him some sense of familiarity. Throughout the seven years, they had been together almost 24/7, Yugyeom always had someone to hide behind in English speaking countries. Be it Jackson, BamBam, or Mark, Yugyeom had someone to cling to.
“Yugyeom, come on.” Mark pulls Yugyeom into a secluded little store. “I want you to meet someone.”
When he said that, Yugyeom was expecting to meet Mark’s significant other or grandma or something. His palms even got all sweaty.
Turns out it was a cat. Well, not a cat. The store cat. Yugyeom glanced over, Mark was waiting patiently with a smile on his face. Yugyeom turned back to the cat. The cat was cute. The nametag read...wait, it read Yugyeom? “Hyung?”
Yugyeom is understandably confused, and Mark giggled. “This is Yugyeom, the store cat! I adopted her and gave her to the store as a mascot. Do you like her?” Yugyeom doesn’t get time to respond when the cat sniffs at Yugyeom and walks out. “Well, I guess she doesn’t like you.” Mark giggles harder, and if he kept it going he’d start hiccuping. Yugyeom cracked a smile.
“Yeah, I like her.” And you.
