Cecilia's POV

Words poured from my mouth, I couldn't believe what I said, yet I just did it.
"I think I like him," I repeated.
Those words made me feel amazing: suddenly I was a lot lighter, like a feather.
I realized how Mark made my heart feel each time, it would race, and his face lately could erase all the fatigue of one bad day.
"I knew it, I mean I was 99% sure," she closed her eyes in satisfaction, "How?" I asked puzzled, "You can't lie to me, you're just very bad at it," she replied me as if it was a matter of fact.
"Alright, so what do you think?" I drew small circles with my nail on my leg, "I said what I think of it, he's a nice guy, he's not as bad as you think," she explains, "And you might have noticed that," she laughed silently.
I shot her a murderous glare, "Are you trying to make fun of me now?" I have an awesome friend that always knows how to make me feel miserable.
"Nope," she said popping the P while hiding her face under the covers to no avail, "Explain please," I pulled the fabric away, "Nothing! I wasn't mocking you!" She raised her hands in defeat, I nodded lying next to her, I sighed loudly knowing that this thing won't take me anywhere, I'm still in that limbo- maybe even worse because he thinks that I'm fake-dating him to make Jinyoung jealous.

"So what are you suggesting me to do?" I furrowed my eyebrows after a long dead silence, "I'd tell you to wait a little bit more, I don't really know how to deal with a type like Mark," she shrugged her shoulders pulling them towards her ears, I nodded understandingly, "So I should just continue to be like this with him," I played with the end of a lock of my hair, "Yup," she replied.
I thanked her because and wished her goodnight, slowly it went deep black and I was in dreamland.

The next morning the alarm rang annoyingly: it was yet another day of boring classes, "Hit the snooze button please," I groaned to Sky, she was still asleep, nothing was enough to wake her up.
"Gosh you're such a useless friend," I rolled my eyes and proceeded to shake the living daylight out of her, "Sky," I yelled, "For God's sake, come on! Wake up!" I keep on shaking her, "Go away," she mumbled still peacefully, "Imma beat the shit out of you, wake the hell up!" I cursed.
"What crawled up your ass?" She blurted out rubbing her eyes, I glared at her, "Just get your ass out of bed without worrying about mine," I hissed.
I went to bathroom and locked the door behind me, I leaned on it for a couple of minutes to prepare myself for the hell of a day that I was going to go through then I tied up my hair into a pony tail and washed my poor sleepy face, the dark circles underneath my eyes made me look like a sort of human-panda, a pimple decided to pop out of nowhere in the center of my forehead between my eyebrows: red and proudly showing off its white head.
"Damn it!" I muttered eyeing that little volcano, after I washed my face and brushed my teeth I covered the zit with a bit of toothpaste as they say it does wonders, so let's test it!
I stepped into the shower and turned on the water: at first it was cold but it slowly turned hot to the point of burning my back.
I squeezed a handful of shower gel and gently rubbed it all over my body and rinsed it off.
Afterwards I definitely smelled like coconut and I didn't mind that, at all, as it is my favorite scent, after I dried my skin with a towel I wore a bathrobe and exited the bathroom; Sky wasn't around anymore so I supposed she was already getting ready, I shrugged the thought and made my bed, then I changed into some clothes and went to the kitchen to eat.
Mark was sitting with my brother and Yugyeom, I flinched when I saw him, I definitely remember he went home yesterday night, then how come he's here at this time?

Just as he saw me he smiled. Damn. I could melt because of those eyes and lips, I coughed to adjust my voice, "Morning," I beamed.
A couple of words came out of their mouths but I could care the less about their answers so I just ignored them.

Mark looked perfect sitting in front of me with his messy hair and that black shirt: I love that shirt, as I love everything he wears.
I was snapped back to reality when my phone in my back pocket started to ring, I pulled my eyebrows together in a questioning look but after I checked the ID caller I was not so surprised, "The hell you want?" I asked in all my rudeness, "I still think that you need a psychologist, you suffer from sever mood swings disease," Sky replied with her usual monotone, "I wanted to know if you have seen the necklace Yugyeom got me last week," she drawled.
"Nope," I said popping the P, I probably don't even know what we're talking about.
"But have you realized that I am in the same house?" I asked in a slightly mocking tone, "I have but if Yugyeom hears me I'm dead," she muttered and ended the call.
I shrugged the fact and returned to my warm milk and toasted slice of bread with Nutella, if I had to choose something to eat for the rest of my life, that would be my favorite milk-chocolate spread.
