Fourteen - I Love You

Mark POV:

"Y/n? Are you in there?" I call for her.

The door opens, revealing a y/n with tears streaming down her cheeks. I enter the room and close the door.

"Y/n, look. I'm sorry that I have been ignoring you and being distant. Sorry for acting like only Hyejin exists, sorry for not being a great friend and not being there when you needed me. Seeing you cry makes me want to cry, because I hurt you. My angel, I love you, please forgive me." a few tears escape my eyes. 

"Mark, it's okay, I know you like Hyejin, and I get why you were cancelling on me. You two would make a great couple and I'm sure she likes you too. I just miss hanging out with you and all and I just don't get to see you so often like befo-"

"You're telling me to move on?" I look at the ground. 

"W-what do you mean I'm telling you to move on? I didn't say anything related to that..D-do you have a crush on someone or-"

"Y/n, I-"

"Wait, she's probably from Canada, right?"

"Y/n, please listen-"

"Oh, maybe she's the new neighbors who mov-"

I look at her and I kiss her lips to shut her up. Surprisingly, she kissed back. I break the kiss and look at her, her eyes widened.

"I love you, and only you. If you thought I liked Hyejin, you're wrong, I only see her as a friend, plus she already has a boyfriend." I chuckle. 

Y/N POV: 

"She has a boyfriend? I-I'm sorry I assumed such a thing, I probably should've asked- omg this is the Jisoo thing all over again." I cover my face in embarrassment. I can hear Mark laughing at me. 

"Wait, does that mean you like me? Like I'm your crush?" I ask and look at him. 

"Yes, you're my crush...ever since I saw you for the first time, in gym class. Call it cliche, but it was like love at first sight. I'd always get jealous when you were with other boys. I would've confessed earlier, but I feared rejection and I felt like you wouldn't feel the same for me." Mark makes eye contact. I break eye contact and look at my hands placed on my lap.

"Mark, I-"

"It's okay, just by the face you're making, I can tell you must not feel the same." he leaves the room. 

"Mark, wait, I-I was going to say-" I hear the front door open and close.

"I love you too...and more than a friend.." I finish my sentence. Tears were threatening to fall out, making my eyes sting due to all the crying I did earlier. I sit on the top stair and sob quietly. 

"What happened? Mark left, and he seemed pretty sad and disappointed." My brother sits next to me.

"He didn't let me finish my sentence. I was going to say that I felt the same way.."

"Haven't I made it clear to him earlier? Ugh, this is so annoying, like I just want you two to get together already.." Jungwoo sighs. 

"Guess I'll have to be straight-forward with him at school. I know he's going to try avoiding me.." I wipe my tears. 

*Time Skip*

As expected, Mark was avoiding me. He didn't say 'hi' or anything. I'm at the rooftop and I can see him looking out at the scenery upon him. I quietly walk up to him and tug at his arm. 

"Y/n, please go. I don't want to talk about what happened the other day." Mark pulls his arm back. 

"You didn't let me finish my sentence, just let me say what I was-"

"I know you don't like me, y/n. Just go already." he raises his voice. 

I grab his arm and face him towards me. I kiss him and his eyes widen at what I just did.

"I love you more than a friend, Mark Lee." I say after I part lips with him. 

"You've been there for me through everything. You fought my ex, you scared off those bullies from 5th grade, you confronted those girls who made lies about me, you would help me with any subject I was struggling with, you were there for me when my parents passed...I don't deserve someone like you. Oh, and the day when the power went out and we were having movie night? That was the day I knew that I fell for you, Mark Lee." I confessed.

He hugs me and I hug back. "My love, will you be my girlfriend?" Mark asks. 

"Yes, I would love to." I smile and he kissed me. 

"Let's get going, we're almost late for our last class." I break the hug and we both go to class.
