||Celebrate - Mark Lee||

A/N: Mark's birthday was today (2nd aug) so after his instagram live ft. Johnny and dong-young I decided to write this! Sorry if it's posted late since I'm watching an anime while typing so my focus might be on the show for a while since it's sub. Anywho this story is gonna be soft and cute because Mark lee♡ edit: it's fluff ♡

August 2nd, the cold weather of seoul was chilling to the bone. Despite the cold weather, today was an exciting day.

I never knew that days like this could bring so much joy...my own birthday being so boring and meaningless but today wasn't about me. Today is the love of my life's birthday...ofcourse he doesn't know he's the love of my life.

"My lovely, amazing, most....delightful? Bestfriend!" Mark's voice rang from behind me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me into a hug. I had decided to act like I didn't know it was Mark's birthday...I had a surprise for him and didn't want to ruin the surprise but it might be hard since I've never missed one of Mark's birthdays.

"...yes Mark?" I replied bluntly, to be fair I did have a final assignment coming up for my photography class, to which I wasn't fond of since we had stacks of work to do.

"Ah did you forget?" The slight sadness that laced my bestfriend's voice hurt to listen to but I had to see through to my plan.
"Is today watermelon day? Are they selling watermelon in the Cafe!?" The look on Mark's face was kind of funny if I'm being honest but I knew he must be hurt...

"Mark don't give me that look, what is it?" The urge to tell him was heavy on my shoulders, I didn't want to see him upset. "You forgot..." his voice became a little shaky and that's when I knew I had gone too far.

"Mark wait...don't cry please I didn't forget, I know its your birthday! I had a surprise and didnt want to ruin it but now your sad and I feel like a bad friend for pretending to not know what today is but I just didn't want you to know because I was going to tell you how much I love you and that I-..." as the words ran out of my mouth at lightning speed I realised I accidentally confessed to him.

"Wait....what did I just say?" I had to make sure I wasn't crazy...but I'm pretty sure I just said I was going to tell him how much I loved him.

"Wait platonically or like romantically?" Mark skipped ahead and questioned my confession, obviously answering what I had asked at the same time. "I don't know what your on about." I decided to act dumb since I was kind of embarrassed.

"Well if your not going to be honest with me than I guess I, the birthday boy, will have to...I love you too and to be clear romantically." I was left shocked, I actually didn't expect him to say that.

"Mark...what?" I couldn't wrap my head around it  he liked me back?

"Let me put it in a way you'll understand then" after he finished speaking he leaned across the small table we were seated at, grabbing my head gently with his hands as he pushed his lips against my own.

Our lips moving against each other's softly and as he pulled back I felt myself missing his touch.

"Happy birthday to me"

"Yeah..." I replied with a blush across my cheeks, Mark...my bestfriend just kissed me.
HE KISSED ME!!
"Um...so...y/n....would you maybe want to be my partner?" He shy'd away as he asked me as if he didn't just kiss me out of the blue, though I had to admit  he looked really cute when he got all shy.

"Mark Lee...the birthday boy who just kissed me, is shy to ask me out?" I teased him, earning a soft slap to the shoulder. "I'm kidding...but seriously Mark, ofcourse I would!" This time I leaned across the table and kissed him.

"Did I already say....happy birthday to me..." he smirked as he kissed me again.

"That's one way to celebrate"
