||Luminary-Mark Lee||

A/N: Firstly, don't mind Jungwoo in the image, I just think Mark is really cute here...well in that entire relay cam, I don't know why but I'm in love with it lol. Mark just looks so cute throughout the entire video, from his after clock shadow to his tired voice...just everything! Anywho this one is a Y/N request so I hope you enjoy it! it's going to be fluff, or an attempt at fluff now that I know the actual definition of it [wattpad definition of fluff that is].

"Mark Lee, come back here right now" I couldn't help the laughter that escaped my lips as I chased after Mark, he had begun slowly jogging away from me as he called out in reply. "No Y/N, you're going to tickle me" he jutted out his bottom lip into a pout, my small legs weren't fast enough to catch up to him as he broke out into a sprint. 

"Markkkk" I whined dragging out his name in protest as I plopped down on the cool grass, "If you keep running away then...I don't know, I won't be your best friend anymore!" I joked as I crossed my arms in defeat. "Good!" he called out as he ran towards me, the comment causing me to look up at him in shock. "what why? Mark...don't say that" I felt my eyes begin to water slightly as I looked up at him, he was now stood in front of me while a wide smile on his face which confused me even more...did he like seeing me upset? 

"Come on don't sook, I didn't mean it like that you silly goose...I um-" he tried to seem cool and relaxed but I could tell he was anxious...nervous even as his hand made its way to the nape of his neck and scratched it lightly. He darted his tongue out lightly as he licked his bottom lip before pulling it between his teeth, a habit he picked up over the years when he is nervous or anxious...sometimes even when he was excited and energetic, but I could tell that he was doing it out of a nervous reaction this time around. 

"Well, you worded it stupid then, Morkus!" I huffed as I stood up to face him, even though he was a lot taller than me our faces were mere centimetres apart as I poked him in the chest. "Now you have to let me tickle you because you made me cry" I teased as he fumbled with the sleeves of his sweater, a red hue staining his face as he stuttered out his words. "O..o...okay" was all he managed to say before my hands found his sides, but I couldn't bring myself to torture him like that not while he was anxious and all that anyways. 

As my hands rested on his sides lightly I looked up at him, his wide eyes gazing at me to watch my every move...as well as looking at me with confusion, usually, when given the chance to tickle him I would have destroyed him by now but part of me knew something was up with him...he never acts awkward around me considering we were best friends. 

"Mark is everything okay with you?" I asked causing him to snap back into reality, I giggled at him zoning out but I was still concerned. I really cared about Mark...maybe even loved him, so I needed to know that everything between us was good still especially after my scare earlier.

"Yeah, everything's okay...I just-" he paused for a second before letting out a deep sigh. "I just thought you would hate me because of what I said earlier...but I'm glad you don't Y/N" he spoke with a low voice as he continued to play with the hem of his shirt nervously. "Mark I can tell there's something else-" I removed my hands from around his waist and place them on his shoulders, turning mark to face me. A bright red hue tinted his face as I eyed him carefully, his eyes darting up and down as he looked at me, the action alone leaving me confused...did I have something on my face?

"Mark what are you-" before I was able to finish he leaned in slowly, letting our noses brush slightly before his eyes darted up from my lips to my eyes. "Y/N please don't hate me" he spoke in a sincere voice as he lightly pressed his lips against mine, his lips were soft and I found myself missing them as he pulled away. I wanted to feel his lips against mine again, I don't know what it was but part of me was hoping he would lean back in but instead he turned around and walked off.

"Mark Lee, don't you dare run off on me again!" I yelled out as I ran up to him, I grabbed his hand before running in front of him and wrapping my arms around his torso. "You still didn't tell me what was wrong?" I smiled as I laid my head against his chest, feeling his arms snake around my waist tightly as he giggled. "I thought you hated me...I told you that already you silly goose" He mumbled against my hair as he placed a soft kiss on top of my head. 

"I could never hate someone I loved, Mark Lee...I love you"  I leaned up and placed my lips gently against his, but compared to his kiss early I didn't pull away. He stood there shocked for a few seconds before I felt his lips move against mine and a content hum leave his lips, he pulled back from the kiss again and tightened his grip around my waist as he leaned his head down to rest on my shoulder. 

"Mark! You're always so cuddly I swear" I complained as he cuddled further into my embrace, small giggles leaving his lips as he laughed at my childish complaints. 

"I just can't help it Y/N, I love you so much...it's hard to keep my hands off of you" his laughter was filling my ears as he stood up straight, leaning his head down a little to pepper my face with kisses. "I wanted to ask you, would you...um...want to be my partner?" He asked and I could see the tension from earlier finally release from his shoulders and allowing him to breathe properly. 

"Of course you idiot...I didn't just say I love you and kiss you back for no reason" I joked as I punched his arm lightly causing him to stumble back dramatically. "How could you ever hit someone you 'Love' Y/N" he teased before pulling me down to the ground with him, rolling over the top of me and staring into my eyes lovingly. 

"I mean it Y/N, I really love you"
