I Love You || GOT7 (REVAMP IN PROGRESS)

Chapter 6

HYE MI POV

AT LUNCH

"Hye Mi-ah!" Jr. sat next to me.

" Hi Jr. , what's up?" I asked as I took a sip of water.

" Let's go on a date after school!" I choked and spat out the water.

*Cough Cough* 

Jr. gave me a napkin and started patting my back.

" Gwenchanha?", he asked.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine" I cleared my throat before I asked, "What do you mean by going on a 'date'?"

"There's an arcade that just opened not far from here and I really want to go. But Jb and Mark don't want to go with me so I thought of asking you," he started.

I felt my chest tighten. I've never been on a date before or even asked out on a date.

"Please? Just as friends of course", he begged.

I relaxed the moment Jr. mentioned 'going as friends'. I nodded my head in response.

"Yes! I'll wait for you by the front gate after school." Jr. spoke before taking a bite of his lunch.

"It's been awhile since I've been to the arcade. My favorite game was the dance machine" I tell Jr.

"I love playing that game too! We're going to have so much fun. I can't wait!" 

I chuckled at how excited Jr. was.

AFTER SCHOOL

I was waiting for Jr. at the gate. 20 minutes had passed but he still hadn't showed up yet.

"Hey" a low voice spoke followed by a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around and was surprised to see Mark.

"M-Mark-ssi! What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be walking some random girl home?" I asked half-jokingly.

He rolled his eyes and shook his head at my question.

 "Have you seen Jr.? We were supposed to meet up here for our date," I continued.

"Yeah about that..." Mark started rubbing his neck and looked down before speaking, " Jr. wasn't feeling well earlier so his parents picked him up and took him home . He knew how excited you were to go so he begged me to take you..."

"Oh... It's okay. I don't want to bother you. I'm sure you're busy. I can ask if Jb wants to go another time" I rambled.

Mark grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him.

"Yah! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" I said loosening from his grip.

"We're going to the arcade" he answered as he continued walking, not looking back at me.

A small smile grew on my face as I tailed behind Mark.  

Once we arrived at the arcade, I was amazed by all the flashing lights and buzzing sounds. One of the workers handed us a cup full of coins as a promotion for their grand opening. I walked around for a bit, trying to decide what game to play.

"They have the dance machine! Will you play a round with me?" I asked pulling his arm. 

Mark's eyebrows raised as he looked at my hands holding onto his arm. I was shocked by my actions and immediately let go.

"Play by yourself. I don't want to" He crossed his arms.

"Oh okay. I guess I'll play something else" I pouted walking away from the dance machine.
