LOVE BET || Mark Tuan 【EDITING】

1.21 [EDITED]

"Sorry guys for the wait- my bell didn't ring and I didn't wake up," suddenly a familiar voice spoke: it was no other than Mark.

It looked like he just got out of bed: messy hair, sleepy eyes and heavy breathing due to the quick run, but he still looked flawless.
"It's alright dude, don't worry about it," Jackson patted his back.

I waited for him to notice me but he didn't pay me the least of his attention the whole evening, he just kept talking with the boys and commenting some girls that were walking by, holy fudge, it's not like I was jealous or anything, but damn I was.

"Can we get some food there? There is like a Japanese food stall!" I was seriously craving some takoyaki and I wanted to think about something that wasn't Mark.
Everyone agreed and we queued at the stall, Mark stood right behind me, "You look gorgeous by the way," he whispered to my ear.

I was turning red, I was nervous, I was panicking.
In that moment I wanted to hug him.
I was so much craving his attention, his sweet words, his voice and his smile it drove me crazy.
"Thanks, you look like someone who just woke up," I said giggling a little, but he couldn't see my face and I was so glad he couldn't.
"Yeah I thought that I'd take a nap but I didn't set the alarm and just slept in," he explained.

From that moment on he walked next to me while he talked to the guys and sometimes he would turn around and smile at me: every time my heart would skip a beat.
He was so damn good looking, and it wasn't only his look, he was really sweet and caring when he wanted to.

"The convert is about to start, shall all we go there?" Sky proposed, she loves hectic places and loud music.
Streets were getting more and more crowded, people kept bumping in me until I got separated by the rest of the guys.

"Hey cutie!" I felt someone's hand over my shoulder, I was so ready to kick him in the balls "Get you dirty h- Oh it's you again!" His bright smile flashed in front of me, "Are you making fun of me?" I asked faking anger, "Oh God I'm so afraid of you don't hit me please!" He played his part nicely.

"Vernon" he said, I looked at him with a confused look, "Oh! Cecilia!" I replied.
"Kinda knew that," he laughed and his white set of perfect teeth reflected the dim lights of the street, the sun was starting to set.
"Are you here all alone?" He asked looking around, "Well actually nope, I was with a bunch of friend but while walking in the crowd I think I lost them," I looked around me trying to find a bunch of noisy people, but well, it was a festival so everyone was being rather rowdy.

"Don't you have your phone with you?" He asked puzzled, "I do have one, but I left it in Sky's bag cause I thought it was safer since I've got no pockets that could fit my phone..." I explained.

I don't get why girls' trousers are always so troubling: they do have pockets but they're so small I can barely fit a small pack of gums, let alone a phone.

"Do you know their numbers you can use mine to call them," he handed me his phone and I'm that moment I felt so proud for remembering my phone's number, cause I always mess it up with my mom's.

I typed in my phone number and it automatically showed on the screen, oh right, I did give him my phone number after all.
I dialed it and after a while someone picked up, "Hey?" Sky's voice rang through the phone, "Yeah Sky it's me, I'm in front of bar Julienne, can we meet there?"

"Oh Yeah sure! We were worried about you! Coming right away!" And with this she hung on me.
"Thank you for the phone, I owe you one," I said giving him his phone and as I turned around to walk away he grabbed my hand.
"Don't go just yet, stay here and listen to me and my group playing!" He said, "Sounds so cool! Didn't know you had a band or something!" Not that I knew many things about anyway.

"Yeah I mean we're pretty good so we should be able to entertain you and your friends, so just stay around for a little longer okay?" He winked before leaving me "Need to get ready, I'll hear from you soon!"

Soon I regrouped with my friends, "Why can't you stick to us! You worried us sick!" Jaebum smacked my head: I looked like a little baby.
Before I could complain a super loud music started playing.
"Oh that's Vernon!" I exclaimed, "And who's that?" Mark questioned, "A friend?" I wasn't really convinced, i didn't know what he was honestly, I mean we've barely talked but aside from hitting on people randomly he seemed rather nice.

When him and his group's performance was over he rushed over to us, "How was that?"
"Amazing!" My friends said in unison, "That was so cool!" Sky emphasized.

"Well now we can go drinking right? It's almost 11, we should toast to tonight's success and you all are coming along, let's go!" There was this fella super duper hyped and noisy that was screaming on top of the music.

We followed him to a night club nearby, they seemed to know the boss and they let us in very quickly, also some people recognized my brother.
The music was blasting again and this time I felt a sudden piercing headache that quickly went away.

It must be just tiredness, let's enjoy ourselves tonight.
