My High School Love Affair - A Got7 Fanfiction

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning, my eyes still a bit red and swollen. I woke up drowsily and got ready for school. I still couldn't get over what had happened the other day. all that kept running through my head was, "what am I going to do now? " how was I going to ever act the same around those two? The worst thing is, they're the bestest of friends and what if I had gotten in the way of that? I let this doubts and thoughts cloud my mind until I reached school. As soon as I walked through the gates, i put on my fakest smile and pretended that nothing had happened.

I was shortly greeted by got7, their faces adorned with worried expressions.
"Emily-Ah.. where were you yesterday lunch ?"
"Do you know how worried we were ? "
"Why didn't you anwer your calls ? "
Questions from the boys were rapidly fired at me.
"Whoa slow down guys!! Yesterday lunch, i was in detention because I forgot to do my homework. When I had gotten home from detention, my parents confiscated my phone for the night so I couldn't answer your calls." i lied to cover up the fact that I was at home all of yesterday, crying my heart out. The boys all knew that i had perfect grades and that I never got detention. hopefully no one picked up the fact that im lying to them..
"Aiya, tell us next time arraso?" Jr whined
Wait... Why isn't Jr. mad at me? Why is he talking to me like he always does? That was really weird.. Hyemi said that he doesn't love me anymore... But why is he acting so nice?
My thoughts are abruptly interrupted by the bell. Mark and i make our way to class in awkward silence. We reach class earlier than everyone else. he walks up to me and says

"hey Em... We need to talk..."
Oh god... Is this about what happened the other day? Please let it be anything but the story of that dreaded day, the day where everything turned sour. The day that made me this upset.
"Yeah sure. Do you want to just talk here since no one else is in the room?" I questioned
"Yeah why not. So... Em... I have something really important to say to you right now.
I like you."
Those three words rang through my mind. Those same words that I was scared to ever hear from Mark. He was one of closest friends in got7. Nothing more.

"But Em, I understand that you have something for Jinyoung. You guys make the greatest couple. Even though I like you, i know that we can only be friends and that's honestly enough for me. I'll always be here for you even if jinyoung isn't around."

"Mark..."

"It was completely my fault for coming on to you like that even when I knew that you were in a relationship with Jinyoung. I cleared things up with him and told him that it was all my fault and that you shouldn't be to blame. he heard me out, and right now we're closer than ever thanks to you Em."

"But.... Hyemi said that Jr was done with me, and that he doesn't love me anymore... What happened to that?"

"Look Em, it's pretty obvious to everyone that hyemi has a thing for jr. she lied to you. She just wants to get between the two of you."

"Really?!" I say shocked and embarrassed

"I know you too well. I knew that you weren't actually in detention, something was up. I know Jr too well as well. He would never, in a million years, let go of a girl like you. Ever. He loves you. So don't beat yourself up over it Em. it's okay."

Tears start to pool around my eyes. I feel so relieved to have a friend as amazing as Mark. I know that he will always be here for me and the things that he said aren't empty promises.

"Thank you so much Mark, I could never ask for a better friend"

I can't help but to pull him into a warm and comforting hug and we stay like that for what seems to be forever.
