Guitar Strings || Mark Lee X Fem Reader ||

Summary: You were having a sweet time with your boyfriend Mark, while he skillfully played his guitar, trying to put you to sleep after you finally had a break after working hard for your last semester project. This time you spent with him was going very sweet.. until the time it started to get heated... 

You lay on the bed next to Mark, who was playing a guitar and putting you to sleep in the middle of the night. You kept requesting songs and he kept on playing them hoping that you would fall asleep.

He cared for you. All these days you had been working on some work project for your university final semester late at night. Now that your work was done and submitted, you felt a wave of relaxation pass over you. Mark took you on a date today at a fancy restaurant and now you both are here, in the sheets, him playing u songs and trying to get u a beauty sleep which you deserved after so much of hard work.

"Go to sleep already, princess.. You did well in your project and now you deserve your sleep"

"I will sleep, Mark.. Just let me stare at you.. I haven't even admired you nicely due to my work.."

"Baby~ if you want to just admire me.. then how about this.."

Mark picks you up and places you in his lap, just to give you a closer look of what he looked like so you can peacefully admire your handsome and caring boyfriend.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes"

Mark placed a soft and gentle kiss on your lips and continued playing the song.

"Hey Rose,

I bought you five roses won't you come to my show~

Show you how to live life yeah you know you fucking gold~

Give you all my time if you wanna take it slow~

Your soul is lovely~"

You smiled as he sang the song. It had a beautiful meaning to you. He used to sing this song back in the days when you guys were best friends in college.

You and Mark were childhood friends and it was like a typical friends to lovers trope for you both. He was the popular student who was in the school band and choir, got amazing grades and also a million proposals. On the other hand, you were the 'nerd'. Not like you were a dumb student. You were just like Mark.. excellent in all subjects and an amazing theatre and acting student. The only difference between you two was that you never got a single proposal. Only once, your crush came to you and asked you out but turned out that he was just joking around and never loved you. You got scared to fall in love after that one incident.

But maybe the universe had some other plans for you. Time passed and you fell for Mark. You fell for him to the extent that you would do anything to spend time with him or even get a glance of his face. On the other hand, Mark had fallen for you a long time ago. He too was scared to ruin the relationship you already had with him. He knew why you were always scared to fall in love with anyone. He knew everything.. everything from your family to your darkest secrets.. the ones which no one knew but him. He didn't want to break the trust you had in him.

The day came and you were going to ask him out. Nervousness spread over your body when you called him to sit next to you as you wanted to talk.

"Hey what happened?~~"

"Uhm.. I wanted to talk to you about something... something serious.."

"Yes yes of course.. tell me what is it?~"

"Mark.. I've held it in for a long time now.. I know you know that I'm scared to fall in love with anyone.. but I guess the world had other plans for me.. I know you don't think of me the same way as I do.. but I've fallen for you Mark.. I've fallen for you--"
