260405 haechan IG live 🐻‍ Honestly, Mark hyung was more of a brother to me than anyone else. Having spent 13 years together, I relied on him so much. I think that’s why many of you were even more worried, knowing the bond we shared. Thank you so deeply for that concern. As soon as the article came out, I sent him a long text. I told him, 'Everything you’ve done for NCT will pave the way for our future. And in return, your time with us will help you move forward too. So, give it your all and don't regret your choice.' That’s what I wanted to tell him.

i hate being an adult if i was a teen i would have been crying freely but im 26 now so im still crying but repeating At Your Grown Age to myself 😭😭😭😭

if we come to think of it, mark was a good employee. followed his contract, never once did have a controversy. when his contract was up, he chose to leave the brand, still with no controversies, no lawsuit — just quietly quitting on a random day (good friday)

🐻so like in the new year, in april or may, let’s have our unit album 🐯*laughs* 🐻 *wholeheartedly serious abt it* the way haechan asked abt having a mahae album specifically in april.. wonder how hard he really tried to get mark to stay 😭

guys???? how tf do you cope???? give me ideas

haechan

i think the uncertainty if we ever get to see mark again is what makes it so painful

on a day like this…. and i still gotta work and pretend it doesn’t hurt because how am i gonna explain at my big age to my coworkers im devastated because a canadian boy left my favorite kpop band

going to work and pretending to be okay while smiling at people (customer service) really sucks.

I saw a kfan say that one of the reasons why his departure hits so hard is bc usual departures of idols come paired with some sort of scandal, which makes it easier to let go. But Mark leaves as the same person we knew and love :”) the love won’t be going away, it’s still there.
