⏯️ Crush by Tessa Violet
"They told you they were breaking up with you because you worried too much?" Mark scoffed. "That's a terrible reason."
Tiffany smiled faintly. "Is it?"
"Yeah." His answer came immediately. "If anything, that just means you cared."
She went quiet. The soft glow of her desk lamp illuminated the pages of her textbook, but she'd long since stopped reading.
Talking like this felt different. Texting was easy.
Safe. You had time to think before you replied.
But hearing his voice? Hearing him laugh?
Hearing the concern in his tone? That was dangerous.
Mark cleared his throat. Trying to sound casual.
"So..."
"Hm?"
"I saw Uncle and Aunty today."
A smile tugged at her lips. "Yeah?"
"It was nice."
"Yeah." A pause. "I miss you guys."
The words slipped out before she could stop them. On the other end of the line, Mark smiled.
"Then come to Korea already." The response was immediate.
Almost too immediate. "I miss you."
Her heart did something stupid. Something deeply embarrassing.
She stared at the ceiling. "I miss you too, bro."
Mark groaned. "Bro?"
"Yup."
"I hate that word."
Tiffany laughed. "Too bad."
"Seriously, though." His voice softened. "What are you waiting for?"
"My exams."
"Didn't they just end?"
"They did."
"Then come."
She laughed. "They start again next month."
Mark let out a dramatic sigh. "Wow."
"What?"
"So you're basically never coming."
"I am coming."
"When?"
"Christmas."
The silence that followed lasted exactly one second.
Then, "Really?"
The excitement in his voice made her laugh again.
"Yes, really."
"You promise?"
