your rhythm - MarkHyuck

- twelve

A few students were running from one booth to another, happily celebrating orientation week because to them, orientation week is a stress-relief week.

The booth was arranged nicely along the sidewalk of a pathway right in front of the art department. There's a lake next to the pathway which make this place one of the prettiest views in the university. Students usually come here around sunset to enjoy the view and have dinner together with their other friends.

I walked around the area to get a good idea of what they were doing, wandering with no destination in mind. Soon, I ended up standing beside the engineer's booth. The game they had was quite interesting and stupid. Why is there a kissing booth?

"Yo this is the dumbest shit I've ever seen in my whole entire life," I laughed at the decorations. "Really? Should we go in and take a look?" Jaehyun popped out of nowhere and crossed his arms. "Oh I can do that? Sure! Looks interesting I guess," I walked pass him and entered the booth.

"Nice! You can take pictures?" I sat down on a chair and Jaehyun sat next to me. "Yup, you see this remote here? You use this to take the pictures," He explained and clicked on it. The camera flashes when I wasn't ready. "You take up to five pictures and it will come out of the tiny machine at the counter,"

"So this is just a normal booth to take pictures. Why do you call it a kissing booth?" I asked. "It's in a closeted place, anyone can come, do whatever they want including having sex,"

"Excuse me what?" My gaze were now on the buff guy, looking at him with raised eyebrows. "I was joking," he added before going back to the screen in front of us. "You guys did this?" I asked, pointing out generally to all the engineering students.

"Yea, want to be our first customer?"

"Sure, why not?"

"1..2..3!" I wrapped my arms around Jaehyun and pulled him closer. The next few photos were just me either doing poses or just laughing. When it was time for the last picture, I wasn't sure what was going on with my body but I brought Jaehyun's face closer and kissed him.

Maybe I just missed his lips.

Jaehyun returned the kiss and clicked on the remote at the same time. The camera caught our little session but we didn't stop kissing. Jaehyun dropped the remote and kissed me harder, making me lean against the walls.

"Hey Jae- oh wow,"

I pushed him away and wiped my lips. "Mark?" My eyes went to the guy standing at the entrance. "Sorry for interrupting," he said and left. "Shit Donghyuck I'm so sorry,"

"It's fine, I started it anyway. Loved it though," I touched his face and got out of the booth. As soon as I got out, I saw Mark sitting behind the counter and waited for our picture to be printed out.

"Sorry you had to see that," I said to him and took the pictures after it was done. "Didn't know you go that way," he responded. "I go both ways," I gave him a few one thousand won.

Jaehyun sat next to Mark and smiled at me. "You're taking that?" He asked and looked at the picture before returning it back to me. "Paid for it," as I was about to go away, I noticed how Mark appeared out of nowhere.

"Why are you here by the way,"

"I'm a student here,"

Now everything made sense to me. "Okay. Mark you want to walk around?" Those words fell out of my mouth unconsciously. I just felt the need to walk around with him for no specific reason. Mark turned to Jaehyun for a second and went back to me. "Why are you suddenly being nice?"

"It's a yes or no question," I reminded him, not wanting it to be long. "Fine," he stood up and walked away. I caught up to him and kept up with his ridiculously fast pace. "Ey slow down I'm not Usain Bolt," I held his hand to slow him down.

"Why aren't your long legs working?" Mark laughed at me because I was sweating. "Shut up! Oh do you want to play the gun game?" I jumped happily.

I've thought about what game I should do and the only game that came into mind was the gun game. There are cups arranged randomly from the top to bottom and whichever cup that we shoot, we'll get a dare.

"Sounds fun. Who thought of that?" Mark kept on walking as he tried to look for the game booth. "Of course I did. But I don't know any of the dares they put," I stopped walking when I spotted a booth with students selling ice cream. "Oh shoot! Wait for me at the booth I'm gonna get ice cream,"

I ran towards the said booth and greeted the other students. "What do you have?" I asked a girl with a pink highlight. "Hi, I'm Yeji! To buy this ice cream, you need to head over to the next booth to get a quick info about our department," she said. I stared at her and she stared at me back. "Okay fine what do you want,"

I smiled at her approach and pointed at the vanilla ice cream. Call me basic but vanilla will always be the best. "Cone or cup?"

"Cone!"

"There you go,"

"Thanks! Oh this is a treat right?" I asked her, smiling as sweet as possible. "Yeah sure, but always say yes when I ask for something!" I rolled my eyes at her and stick my tongue out. "Never in a million years," I said and ran away before she could say anything else.

"Do you think Donghyuck has any chance to beat you?" I heard the small conversation Minnie had with Mark. "He's good so I believe that he could," Mark smiled at her. He turned around and saw the ice cream in my hand. "Cool!" He took it from me and ate some of it. "Ew,"

"Anyway, so both of you are playing?" Minnie asked while reloading the gun. She did a quick arrangement of the cups and gave us the gun. "Nerf gun, who's idea was this?" Mark asked as he took a quick look at it. "I don't know, I just found it somewhere," I replied.

I let Mark played the first few rounds. "Here are the cups! Enjoy the little fun you two, sometimes it gets steamy and all of us will watch," she pointed at the other students sitting under a different tent. They were all looking at us simultaneously, expecting something steamy just like what Minnie had said. "Goddamnit I should've stayed back there," he lets out a huff in regret.

"Go skinny dipping in the lake," he read the first dare he got. "You guys are joking right?" The male looked up from the paper and suddenly was surrounded by the students. "Fucking hell!"

"A dare is a dare Mark," I said to him while licking the ice cream. "You planned this didn't you," he gritted his teeth. "And you followed," I smiled in victory.

"Take your shirt off handsome boy," Minnie took her phone out and started recording. "Remember what your Nana said? It's either you're brave or a coward," I whispered at him and continued eating my ice cream. "Fuck,"

"Strip for me!" Someone among the crowd said. Mark didn't want to back up, I could definitely tell by the looks of his face. He proceeded to take his shirt and pants off, revealing his abs. The crowd was cheering for him because of his beautiful body.

"Like what you're looking at?" He smirked. My eyes blinked but there weren't any words coming out. Mark dived into the disgusting lake and never came out. "What the hell?" I walked closer to lake, trying to look for him.

I turned around to look at the others, they were all feeling a bit suspicious as well. "Did he die- AH!"

Mark pulled me into the lake. My ice cream went in it as well, melting itself into the water. "What the fuck Mark! My fucking jacket!" I yelled as soon as I got my head out of the water.

"Mhm you like that honey?" He said and splashed some water at me. "Fucking hell bitch you fucking jerk I'm beating the fuck out of you when we get out of here!" I threw a tantrum in the water, wanting to get out immediately.

"Oh I would love to feel you beat inside of me," he said jokingly and everyone laughed along.

"Shut up!"

Sorry if this chapter seemed a bit too fast :( i was trying to fit everything in and wanted the word count to not exceed 2000. I'll do some improvements to them soon to make it more detailed.
