Love Without Love

I went up to Mark's room, blood boiling from the accusations made by my friends. What they said was unfair and rude to Jaebum, since they had no right to talk bad about him. When I got in, I flopped down onto the bed and sighed. Usually I would forgive them, but this wasn't something I could take easily. They accused me of sleeping with him, then of him being unreliable, and then not apologizing to me when I defended him for obviously the right purposes. Crossing my arms, I turned over onto my side and stared at the wall. I wondered how long Eunmi and Youngjae would be in the house, since I would be able to leave once they settled. I couldn't take having to see Yugyeom everyday.

Downstairs, Mark was in full panic, walking back and forth quickly. Because to him, Nana was not a gorgeous woman who wanted to spend time with him. To him, Nana was someone who would not leave him alone. He knew she liked him, a little too much, and she just couldn't no for answer. Pulling at his hair, he grunted and leaned back against the wall.

"You have to come with me, please." He managed, his eyes glancing over to look at Eunmi who was sitting there guiltily eating a piece of toast. Mark blinked at her a few times, walking over and leaning down to see her frowning.

"Hey,wait. What's wrong?"

She breathed out a heavy sigh, resting her elbow on the counter and her cheek against her hand. Looking at Mark, she pouted and chewed the rest of her food.

"I was mean to Yujin... What if she doesn't want to be my friend anymore?"

He groaned, running his fingers through his own hair before walking over to the sink and throwing his coffee into it, setting his mug down softly before turning to her. That was a girl problem, and he wasn't exactly sensitive to this sort of topic, so he shrugged it off.

"She'll forgive you, now go on this date with me."

Her cheeks flushed deeply, and she stared up at Mark in disbelief. She hadn't really been paying full attention to him speaking after her friend ran off, and was caught off guard.

"Pardon me?"

"Come with me on this date, I mean meet up with Nana. I'm scared to go alone, and we can take Yujin too." He said simply, nodding his head as he wandered around, turning on his heel and making his way to the stairs.

"I'll go ask her now."

Curled up in the sheets of Jinyoung's bed, I rolled around quietly. I had to decide whether or not I would forgive them. Of course I had to eventually, but how soon did I really want to?

I felt horrible for picking a boy I barely knew over people who were always there for me. But Jaebum always came to my rescue, I had to repay him somehow didn't I?

Frowning to myself, I heard the door swing open and I flinched. I could tell already who it was, by the way he waited a moment before walking over. His footsteps were solid, but quiet. I felt the bed dip beside me from his weight, and I sighed softly.

"Mark, what do you want?"

"I am sorry, so sorry. To you and Jaebum, I didn't want to hurt you" He sat beside him, his fingers reaching over to me and brushing stray locks of hair from my face. "I didn't mean to, I just don't want you to get hurt."

Rolling my eyes, I sat up slowly and hugged him tightly. I could hear him smiling as he laughed a bit, holding me close as we were wrapped in his roommates sheets.

"It's fine, we're fine.."

"Great, then come on a date with me."

I looked at him, gently patting him on the cheek, as if it was the mimic slapping him. He grinned at that, his lips curling up and his pointed teeth showing quite cutely might I say,
