"Just for tonight, can you at least think of me as an ordinary guy, and not as Got7's Mark?"

"That's difficult...  But I'll try."

"Why would it be difficult?"

"With looks like that? You don't look like an ordinary guy."

"Am I really that handsome?" He raised one eyebrow then smirked

"Fishing for compliments? Well, yeah, you are.  That's why every lady wants a piece of you."  I smiled

"Unfortunately, not all the ladies..."

"Oh~ so you like someone?  And you think she doesn't like you?"

"Uh... Yeah... I think so.  She just considers me as a friend."

So, he likes someone. See, it's good that I did not let myself have any delusional thoughts about us.  If not, I'll just stupidly hurt myself.  But why do I feel unhappy about it right now?

"Well, you can never tell.  What if someday the friendship develops into love?" I just said

"You think so?"

"I... I don't know.... Maybe.... It's possible."

He smiled.  He seems very happy about it.  And I feel bad.  Because I want to feel happy for him too... but I can't.  Aish! I'm really going crazy.  Suddenly I don't feel good anymore.  I think I'm going to be sick.  I just want to go home.

"Umm... Mark, can we go home now?  I feel tired already."

"Oh! O-okay... " he said.  Seems like he doesn't want to go yet.  But he still go on with packing our things. 

When we finished, he holds the basket on one hand, then when he's about to hold my hand with his other hand, I immediately put my hand inside my pocket.  I tried not to look at him and just started to walk.  We walked in silence.  I glanced at him, he looks confused, his brows furrowed.

I'm sorry, Mark... I have to control myself.  I don't want to be too attached to you.  You  already have someone you like.  And you being sweet to me is not going to help.

"Hey! You're here already! So how's the date?" Jackson asked, smiling enthusiastically

I just sat on the floor.  Looking dazed

"Hey! What's wrong?" Jackson immediately goes to me patting my shoulder.

"That's the problem.  I don't even know what's wrong.  One minute everything is okay, then suddenly...  she wants to go home saying that she's tired.  I understand that she's tired, but I feel like there's something else... I don't know, suddenly she just seemed... distant." I said, then holding my head to my knees

"Hey! Relax! Maybe noona is just really tired. Just talk to her again tomorrow."

"Yeah.  Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just overthinking. I'll just call her tomorrow."

"Of course I'm right! I'm Jackson." Doing his bluffing look.

We just finished eating breakfast when my phone rang.  It's Mark
