Childhood friends // Mark Lee

• Ch 43

Eunji was sitting on the bed, contemplating about the call she got earlier.
She doesn't know if she should agree or not.

Because she was so in her thoughts, she didn't hear Mark enter the room.
Mark quietly and slowly closed the door before walking up to Eunji.

He sat right next to her on the bed very gently as he put his hand on her back, slowly doing a circular motion.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?" He asked softly.
She looked at him before giving him a very small smile.
"The call I got earlier... I don't know what to do." She said to him truthfully.

Mark hummed before looking at the ground.
"Whatever you think is best for you." He said.
"Whatever choice you make, just make sure you're comfortable with it." He looked at her with a smile.

Eunji couldn't help but have this big smile plastered on her face.
"What. Whats got you smiling?" he said, genuinely confused.
"I just..." she looked at him and took in his features.

She then looked deep into his eyes.
"I'm just so grateful for you, that's all." She said, almost in a whispering tone. "You never fail to make me feel important." She said to him, her smile still there.

Mark's heart melted in a heartbeat.
There was a hint of pink on his cheeks before he looked away. "That was sudden." He said before clearing his throat.

Eunji couldn't help but adore him.
"It's the truth though you know?" She said to him. "There's nothing I would ever ask for because you're all I really need." She said to him as she brought her knees to her face.
"You always reassure me and let me know that my feelings are valid. You make sure I'm comfortable. You just... you're you." She said to him, her arms on her knees while her face lied on her arms.

She was looking at mark, just adoring him.
She couldn't have asked for anyone better.
Mark really was one of a kind.

Marks face was now all pink, maybe even a light red.
He was not expecting Eunji to say that.
He scratched the back of his nape before looking back at Eunji.
"I uh.. I don't know what to say-" he said as he stumbled his words around.

Eunji chuckled at how he was acting before laying her legs flat.
"Come on Min, let's go to sleep." She said as she got under the blanket.
Mark, still shocked about all the things she said, slowly went under the blanket as well.

As they were lying there, Mark calmed down a bit.
They were both just looking at the ceiling.

"You know... you're also an amazing person, you know that?" he said to her.
Eunji looked at Mark.
