What do you mean Mark is leaving?

Summary

Fan boy Luca strikes again but this time its not his obsession over Ilya Rozanov...it's because Mark Lee has left NCT (seriously wtf??????)

This will have a very niche target audience but please enjoy, I have no idea what I've created (I'm sorry).

Notes

So I have been sat on a coach for like 13 hours and I have been awake since 5am. I am running off like 17 chicken nuggets and Sprite and this is what happened when me and my sister found out Mark had announced he was leaving NCT...I have no idea what I have created.

Chapter 1

Luca Haas

@lucahaas2000

WHY AM I WAKING UP TO FIND OUT THAT MARK HAS LEFT NCT!!!!!!!!!!! please no he was my bias

Marks left toe

@markleeforeverrrrr

WHAT?! THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT?! FROM A PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYER?! 

Taylor (Mark's version)

@taytay

This is actually the worst day of my life and the best day of my life. I find out the love of my life is leaving my favourite group and that the other love of my life is a fellow resident of Ncity?!?!😭

Ilya Rozanov 

@rozy81

What is NCT? And why are you not on your way to practice right now? 

Luca Haas

@lucahaas2000

@rozy81 I am going through something here and I am on my way just suffering 

Alex Young

@younghockey

He literally is just standing there staring at his phone with a hand on his head reading a letter on Insta???

Luca Haas

@lucahaas2000

I actually don't know what to say 

Taylor (Mark's version)

@taytay

@lucahaas2000 I get you because Mark is literally NCT! NCT is Mark! I'm dying here 

Theo Hollomberg 

@hollybergy

Who is Mark? And what is NCT?

Nic LaPointe

@Laaaapointy

@hollybergyForm a quick Google its either the UKs National Childbirth Trust or a Kpop band... I think that one is more likely for a guy called mark to leave

Luca Haas

@lucahaas2000

@Laaaapointy yes the group

Maeve 

@bangchanlover 

My heart is so broken but we all kinda expected it

Luca Haas

@bethanybrown

"Haasy you good?" Bood shouted over the noise of the locker room as he and Young walked through the door.

"I am fine," he replied heading to the bench to change. 

"Are you sure? You seemed to have a little crash out on twitter this morning" Hayes teased, making Luca blush stuttering out a reply.

"Ah no I am fine just a little disappointed."

"Okay-"

"I mean ten years, how can he leave after ten years he was my favourite in the band. They will still be good. Hopefully." He interrupted.

"You were not even born ten years ago Haas, how can you be fan for that long" Rozanov said, coming up behind Luca thowing an arm over his shoulders.

"Be nice Ilya, he's having a hard day," Shane laughed but thankfully dragged his husband away.

Luca looked up in shock, even Shane Hollander was making fun of him today? This really was going to be a bad day.

***

After practice as the team was heading home to rest before their game that night, Ilya caught Luca once again with an arm thrown over his shoulders and guided him to his own car.

"We are taking you out for lunch" he said before opening the back door and taking Luca’s bag.

Luca had learned not to argue with the captain and his husband at this point and climbed into the car greeting Shane as he did. He sat in silence listening to the two men talk quietly to each other for the whole drive and until they had sat down at at the table.

"So who is Mark?" Ilya said turning to him, "is he your boyfriend?" 

"What? No of course not he's a singer." Luca replied confused.

"Ah so you like this singer?"

"Yes..."

"And what kind of music does he make? Is it good? I don't need another Drykstra on the locker room"

"I mean I like it but it's not to everyone's taste" Luca was starting to find this interrogation a bit weird, weirder than usual conversations with the captain.

"Would I like it?"

"I don't know, maybe. I can show you some layer if you want."

"Yes you will play Mark's music in the car"

"I'm not sure you will like NCT, you seem more like a Jackson Wang fan to me." He said with a smile, he could definitely imagine Ilya Rozanov being friends with Jackson Wang, and them hosting parties together. And he had definitely not made several posts to Tumblr about it when he was active on his account in the past...

"Who is this?" 

"Another singer, actually I have tickets to his show in a couple of weeks and no one to go with, you could come with me if you wanted to"

"Yes I will come, it will be fun, no?"

"Yeah I guess, you just have to not be weird"

"When am I weird, am not weird, am I weird Shane?"

"Yes you are, Ilya now please let's order." Shane said effectively ending the conversation there.

***

"Not that one, you won't like it." Luca said grabbing Ilya’s phone and selecting a different song.

"But it is green, you said this group is green. Why can't I listen to the green song?" Ilya replied, trying to take his phone back.

"Because no one ever needs Sticker to be the first Kpop song they listen to. You will like this one," Luca pressed play and let the music fill the car.

"Ah yes, is good. Can I listen to the green one now?"

"Not yet"

"Why not? I want to see if it is as bad as you’re saying" 

"It's the next song just wait."

Ilya Rozanov

@Hollander143

@rozy81 this and Sticker reaching 100M views on YouTube had to have been Mark's final straw

Chapter 2

Chapter Notes

Mari

Babe You just outed yourself as a massive fan boy on main 

Did you mean to do that

Ngl kinda funny tho

Everyone is freaking out about Mark and about you knowing about Mark 

And about finding out about Mark from you 

Its hilarious 

Luca

I DID WHAT?!?!?!

FUCK

I did not mean to post that on my main account 

Fuuuuuuck the guys are gonna be so annoying about this

Mari

Are you gonna take it down??

I think you should leave it

Its kinda funny

And these comments are killing me 

Literally 

I am on the floor laughing 

Mom asked me if I was okay because I'm crying 

She thinks I'm insane

Luca

You are insane

But I'm gonna leave it 

It is funny 

And this was gonna come out at some point 

As long as its just that I outed myself on and not the other thing 

That would be bad

That would not be good 

Mari

Babe

You are literally on the gayest team in the league 

I don't think they're gonna care

At least not in a bad way yk?

And I mean Ilya Fucking Rozanov is your literally team captain 

If anyone is shitty about that he would end them

Luca

True

But what if he finds out about my you know what...

Mari

Your massive unbelievably obvious crush on him?

Yeah I'm sure it will be the end of the world

Luca

It would!

I would die of embarrassment 

Mari

Well you can take today as practice 

I mean Rozanov has now commented on your freak out 

About Mark 

And so have like a lot of the team

Please I am begging you look at them

Luca

Omg 

No

This is the worst

Mari

THEN WHY ARE YOU RESPONDING??????

Luca

Idek 

Why am I doing this Mari

Ughhhhhhhh

I have to go to practice now

Mari

You can do it babe 

I believe in you

Keep my updated 

Luc?

Luc??

Luca???

Lucaaaaaaaaaaaa????????

Luca

Mari

I was at practice 

You know this 

Mari

Well yeah but i am more important 

Luca

I won't get you the tickets to the Montreal game New week

Mari

Noooooo

Please

I love you 

I'm sorry

I need to see Shane Hollander close up

Omg wait

Could you introduce me

Omg 

I could pretend to be your girlfriend and you could bond with Ilya over having the same type

Beautiful half Japanese, half Canadian, hockey obsessed

And I can bond with Shane over having the same type

Tall, cute, blonde, European hockey player

And we would be best friends 

And all this after the Cens beat the shit out of Montreal 

Yes?

Luca?

You still there?

Luca

Shane and Ilya took me out for lunch to question me about NCT...

I am in shock

Also I don't think that plan would work

For many reasons 

The main one being I think Ilya suspects...

He asked me if Mark Lee was my Boyfriend 

Then got me to play some songs in the car

Wtf even is my life right now

Mari

Fuck

I want to meet your team

But that is actually the best possible outcome 

Your gay dads treating their closeted gay son to lunch and taking an interest in your hobbies 

And apparently the closest is glass af because wtf??? 

How does Ilya know

But maybe he has insanely good gaydar 

Luca

I'm dying

Please come around 

We can drink wine or beer or anything 

You can stay here tonight but I might be panicking 

Mari

Okay I will bring the drinks 

But seriously You would die if Mark Lee was your Boyfriend 

Luca

I think any reasonable person would 

I mean look at him 

OMG MARI

I just realised we're going to see 127 next month 

AND MARK ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE

Mari

As long as Yuta it there I will be happy but I will also grieve for your loss don't worry 

Luca

You know Yuta will probably leave soon too 

I mean there's been a lot of rumours...

Mari

Nope

He's not going anywhere 

Never

Luca

Girl

You are delusional 

Mari

Well yeah but it's better than being sad

Luca

Very true 

Now hurry up and get here

Luca Haas 

@lucahaas2000

The heart attack I nearly had when I got a notification about Ten leaving!!!! I actually nearly died. Dropped my phone and everything. 

Mari

@Mariito127

He literally nearly dropped his wine too 

Luca Haas 

@lucahaas2000 

@Mariito127 That was you not me 

Mari

@Mariito127

@lucahaas2000 Fake news (its definitely true) but at least Ten is staying in NCT and just leaving SM 

Taylor (Mark's version)

@taytay

Luca Haas being the most out spoken NCTzen was so not on my bingo card this year...but then neither was Mark fucking Lee leaving NCT or Ten leaving SM ent...

Marks left toe

@markleeforeverrrrr

@taytay WTF????? It happened again. I found out about major NCT news from an Ottawa Centaur...I'M A MONTREAL FAN. I don’t even like the Cens but this is confusing me

Viki

@markxjohnny

@markleeforeverrrrr looking at your other posts I think I have a pretty good idea of why you don't like the Cens but still support the Voyageurs

Mari

@Mariito127

@markleeforeverrrrr Babe you don't even need to be here go crush on your homophobic asshole team and stop looking at my bestie's posts thank you <3

Marks left toe

@markleeforeverrrrr

@Mariito127 girl you are so delusional to think you're actually friends with an MLH player stop hating on me and go touch grass

Luca Haas

@lucahaas2000 

@markleeforeverrrrr actually Mari is sat next to me right now in my house drinking my wine (we have been friends since we were like 14)

Bethy 

@bethanybrown

Mari

LUCA

LUC

Omg you are actually gonna die

Holy shit

Luca

Why what have I done

Mari

Not you

MARK LEE

Luca

HES COMING BACK?!??!?!

Mari

No

But look at this

[Screenshot of an Instagram story on Mark Lee's account with a long paragraph the paragraph says " To all the fans of me and NCT, Thank you for all your support over the past 10 years it has meant the world to me and I appreciate your acceptance og me moving on to the next chapter of my life. I hope to see you all again. And could someone please explain why I am trending in Ice Hockey I might have to go to a game again when I go back to Canada" below the statement is a screenshot of Luca’s post about Mark leaving NCT]

Luca

You were right

I have died

If Mark Lee comes to one of my games 

I actually won't be able to play 

I would be too scared

And just die 

Mari

And you would invite me because you love me and I need to meet him and sit next to him and be best friends with him 

Luca

Sure
