warning : light heated scene 🔞

both mark and rosé arrived at the venue a few minutes ago. there also others unfamiliar faces around them, mourning for the deceased in the coffin.

rosé put the white roses and lilies that they bought on the coffin. she stared at jaehyun's face for seconds before she left to nearby bench since she couldn't handle her tears anymore.

mark followed closely behind and waste no time to hug her. he lovingly caressed her hair and her back to calm her down as she burst in tears in his embrace.

"why are you crying?" he whispered and he could feel rosé shaking her head.

"is it my fault?" she asked and look up at him. mark smiled weakly and wiped her tears.

"let me tell you something" mark added while looking deep into her brown orbs with admiration.

## flashback ##

mark just came back from having lunch outside and was now at the hospital entrance. rosé headed in first since mark still had to take out a few files from his car.

after he got the items and was walking to the lobby, mark noticed someone was eyeing rosé that just got in the lift. he frowned when he realized that the man was quite familiar to him. he left the files at the receptionist table after he decided to approach him.

he pat his shoulder to gain his attention. the man turned to look at him and was obviously shocked to see mark. he avoided mark's gaze before he settled himself.

"yes?"

"you're the one that I accidentally bumped into, isn't it? I don't know if you still remember me because its been so long now"

the man in front of him stared at him blankly before he answer him. "yes, doctor tuan"

mark showed a shock expression in instant as he uttered that. "did I know you?"

"maybe"

"umm.. let's go and have a coffee, shall we?" mark offered and he gladly accepted it.

as they finally arrived at the cafe and were waiting for their order, mark noticed how the man look so pale and sick.

"so what should I call you?" mark started the conversation again by asking his name.

"jaehyun, jung jaehyun" he told him and it followed by dry cough.

"are you okay jaehyun?" mark asked with concern filled his eyes when jaehyun cough was getting a bit worse.

"I have an important thing to tell you" he spoke again after his cough stopped.

from that day, mark learned that jaehyun was rosé's stalker back then. his knuckles turned white under the table as he tried his best to hold himself from punching jaehyun as he told him everything.

however, he felt relief when jaehyun told him that he has stopped and regretted everything. he came all the way from australia to korea was just to seek apology from rosé.

mark was so sorry for him over that matter because as it seems to be, the terrible things has left a scar deep inside her, and that absolutely impossible for her to forgive him.

mark promised to jaehyun that he will try to convince her and jaehyun was glad to hear that.

not long after that day, jaehyun came to find mark again. he heard about the news that mark was looking for heart donor and volunteered himself. mark was not having it but he did otherwise after jaehyun told him about his cancer.
