Whispering Hearts (GOT7 Mark ff)

Chapter 23

Hazel opened her eyes. She was in the hotel room, safe and sound.
But..., what happened to Jr? And who brought her back?
And then she suddenly recalled, that kiss.
What was that supposed to mean?
But....how could.... i don't understand.. what's going on omg.
Mark entered the room. "Hey baby" he smiled as he looked at her. "Mark." She sat up as she opened her arms so he could hug her.
He smiled as he walked to the edge of the bed, leaned down and hugged her.
so cute.
Hazel was still confused of what happened that night. "Mark," she whispered into his right ear.
"Yea?"
"Mm, what happened yesterday
.. all i remembered was.."
-
"Noi-isy" Jr whispered vulnerably.
Hazel, with wide eyes, gently pushed Jr's head away from hers.
"J-jr.." she stuttered awkwardly.
Jr smiled gently. "Shh, dont make noise, its bad for my injury.."
Hazel looked at his injured leg as her brows locked. Oh yeah, i almost forgot, hes injured. But...that doesn't give him the right to..
She touched her lips, the place she thought only Mark could kiss.
Jr let out a soft groan, diverting Hazel's attention from her thoughts. "Omo..omo..are you..are you alright?" Jr curled his lips. "Obviously....not." he replied. Hazel blushed slightly. His replies are really good at making me nervous. Hazel hugged Jr again, hoping it would make him feel better. "I-i feel like sleeping." Jr smiled.
"Sleep-sleeping?! No..no Jr you cant i-i.." is he gonna die?? "Tell..tell me stories!!"
Silly girl, she thinks she's in a drama. Stories.
Jr curled his lips.
"Here it goes. Once upon a time there was a little prince whose kingdom fell. At his lowest, he met a beautiful girl who gave him the sweetest smile that moved him and encouraged him to stay alive. He grew up with that smile kept in his mind until he avenged his kingdom and became king. The girl grew up beautifully too and entered his kingdom but she didn't recognize him. Many times he wanted to confront her and confess to her how beautiful she was and that her smile was always so gorgeous. When he wanted to do so, she had married his brother and they lived happily ever after."
Hazel gasped. "But..that-that's so sad for him"
"Yeah, but she never liked him, or else she wouldn't have forgotten him. So what's the use of confessing?"
"But...she should have the right to know, he should have the right to have a chance and be considered."
Jr smiled.
"He grew up based on nothing but that smile, he went through depression, anxiety, hopelessness all by himself. He only held the warm smile to his heart as his body and heart gone cold from his growth. He had long hidden his feelings and had long started to be cruel to himself to protect others, to protect his brother. Why hurt people who haven't been hurt when you can hurt yourself who is already numbed from all of these?"
Hazel frowned.
"But what if she was destined for him? What if they were the true lovers but he never gave himself the chance to let her decide. If she rejects him for his brother, at least he can forget about her wholeheartedly. If she never lnew about him, he will forever live with the "what ifs" if they were together!"
Jr chuckled softly.
"You.. really think so..?"
"Duh!!" Hazel was firm in supporting her point.
Jr exhaled.
"So...will you consider me, beautiful angel?"
What?
Hazel blushed.
"You are asking...asking..me?"
Hazel stuttered unbelievingly.
Jr smiled again as his hand reached to touch her left cheek.
His pale lips then parted.
"Cutie, if not you...., then who..?"
Hazel stared into his sparkly eyes. They were so deep, like galaxies of stars. So gorgeous, yet so impossible to understand. So hurt, so cold, yet so gentle. So harsh, yet so kind. Her eyelashes blinked a couple times before realising that Jr had gone unconscious.
"J-jr! J-jr!"
-
Hazel clasped her mouth with her hand as she blinked a few times desperately. Her cheeks turned scarlet red and her neck tilted slightly down.
Mark frowned as he tilted his head downwards to look into her eyes. She was avoiding eye contact with him as she looked to the right and continued blinking profusely.
"Yes baby? What did you remenber?" What happened yesterday before the two of you went unconscious in each other's arms. Jr... did he do anything out of line? Did he..
Mark's eye rounded as he looked at Hazel diverting her gaze around the room.
Did he....confess to her?
Hazel stopped blinking as she sighed softly. She inhaled sharply.
"M-mark, i guess its-its okay. Where's Jr?" Jr... what did you mean yesterday...was it.....a confession...? But the story...? Honey...stars? Who's that....the drawing...
All of Hazel's thoughts linked together as she was desperate for the answer.
Jr? She didn't want to know how she got here or the competition results but....Jr..? What happened.
"I-i'll bring you to him." Mark lifted Hazel off the bed and carried her in his arms, bridal style. "Eh-ehh i, I'm alright." Hazel said softly, slightly embarrassed. Mark smiled as he kissed her forehead. "But you're mine, and this is a way of expressing it." Hazel blushed again as she wrapped her arms around his neck, tightly and gently kissed his side cheek. I love you, Hazel.
-
Jr woke up as he attempted to crawl out of the bed. He opened the blanket covering his legs and tried to let them down to the floor.
"Ugh." He groaned as he was suddenly smacked awake by the piercing pain in his ankle. Hazel and Mark happened to be at the door. Hazel gasped as she pranced down from Mark's arms. Hazel..
She ran to the edge of Jr's bed.
"You, you okay?" She said innocently as her large eyes scrutinized his body. Her hands found their way to his ankle.
"So nicely bandaged." She smiled to herself. "Duh, better than you." Jr teased as he ruffled her bangs.
"Yah! Park jinyoung!" She beamed as she hit his hand. They both chuckled happily. Mark was still at the door.
Just then, Hazel recalled what she wanted to ask. She cleared her throat as she turned back.
"Mark?" She summoned.
Mark was awake from his thoughts. "Y-yes?" He looked at her. "Can, can you excuse us for a moment..?" She whispered.
For..? What are they going to talk about..?
"Can..i not?" Mark rebelled.
"It...it is quite... inconvenient.." Hazel muttered.
"Its alright, let him hear. He would have to know it, someday." Jr declared. Know what?
"Know what?" Mark repeated his thoughts suspiciously.
"Know that.., i love her."
Hazel eyes widened as she glanced at Jr. How...even...?
"What...what about Honey Stars..? The girl so important to you..?" Hazel asked.
Jr laughed.
"She's"
"You." Mark cut in.
