LOVE BET || Mark Tuan 【EDITING】

2.4 [EDITED]

They went out on several dates: water parks, parks, amusement parks, simple shopping dates, cafe dates...

"What can I get you?" The barista said from behind the wooden counter.
Cecilia looked at the vast choice of cakes she had in front of her eyes, if it was really up to her, she would have ordered everything that was in the menu in front of her.
Everything looked extra delicious especially now that she was extra hungry, Mark sat at the table waiting for her, he isn't really into sweets and he knows damn well that Cecilia would order more than she could eat and he would have to help, so he didn't bother ordering anything if not asking his girlfriend to order an americano as drink.

15 minutes later she came back, a grin plastered on her face, from the look she seemed pretty satisfied with her order.
All girls are always extra happy when eating sweets, though Cecilia was much more into salty food such as pizza, hamburgers and similars.

They chatted away about random things, Mark had to fix his car as he bumped into a wall when he was parking.
Cecilia laughed at how stupid that sounded, "Hey get your license first and then we talk ah out parking cars again," Mark pouted, and rightfully so: Cecilia wasn't a fan of driving, she had always someone to bring her around and even if she had no one, Seoul's public transportation system does the job.
Also, she doesn't like to roam around too much, anything close to her house or reachable by walking did just fine for her.

"Here is order: one Americano, one hot cocoa with extra whipped cream, red velvet cake, a tiramisù and our speciality: pastel rainbow cake," a small waitress that appeared to be on her late 20s approached the table.

As usual, Cecilia ordered more than she could have taken, typical of hers.
Her eyes sparkled, she just wanted to dig in as soon as she could.

"Ah That's why you were in Joey's car today," Cecilia followed up, she was still chewing on her delicious desserts, Mark nodded taking a forkful of the tiramisù, that was the only not overly sweet thing on the table.
"Yeah, luckily today he didn't have to go to work so I could borrow his car."

They chatted away for another hour when finally Mark finished the last bite of the rainbow cake, it wasn't bad, it was just overly sweet, not something he was particularly fond of.
Cecilia gave up half way through the red velvet cake and after taking 3 bites of the rainbow cake; Mark knew she was not going to finish it all, but it was a waste to throw away food, so Mark had to suck it up and eat.

"Next time don't order that much food if you're not going to finish it," He said sternly.
Cecilia pouted, "I was positive I could at least eat the entire red velvet cake and a little of that rainbow cake, but they were too sweet."
Mark rolled his eyes, she says the same thing every single time, and every single time she does the same thing again.
"Do all girls do that?" He questioned, not addressing it to anyone in particular, he was just thinking out loud, "I can't speak for the whole female population out there," Cecilia defended.

She wrapped her arms around Mark's left arm and dragged him, "I saw a very cute shop near here, let's go have a look!"
Mark smiled after rolling his eyes, he knew that he could not win a single argument with her and when she acts this cute he can't help but forgive her.

That day Mark felt a little dizzy, he just thought that it was the hangover from mixing some liquor with the red wine he drank with his brothers last night.
He pushed away the thought, maybe some hangover medicine will help and he was going to get some later.

"Mark your hands are cold, are you cold?" Cecilia asked somehow concerned, "No, not really, it'll get better," he smiled faintly.
He wasn't cold, he was wearing a padded jacket over his woolen sweater, extra thick socks to fight the cold winter of South Korea.
Cecilia took out some hot packs from her bag, "Here, hold these," she handed him two of those miraculous bags, he tore the packaging and waited for them to heat up.
