"Hi, Cathy! Is my tita here?" Megan asked Sam's assistant at the coffee shop

"Hi, Megan! Um, no, she's not here.  She messaged me last night that she might be late today." The girl said

"Oh, okay! I'll just go to her condo.  Thanks, Cathy!"

[Megan's POV]

Yeah! That's right! I'll just surprise her.  Better not ring the doorbell. ㅋㅋㅋ She might still be sleeping.  But what's her door lock code again? Umm... I think it's 0...

I was just about to enter the code when I heard someone opening the door from the inside. And then... BAM! I saw him... Am I dreaming? Or is this just a figment of my imagination?

"Uh... Megan, right? Sam's niece? Hi!" Wow! This is a one of a kind hallucination! And the figment also speaks!

"Umm.... Nice to meet you. But I really have to go now. Bye!" Wow! Daebak! If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up

"Oh! And Sam's still sleeping inside." The figment added

A few minutes passed and I'm still standing there.  Wait a minute! He's long gone but I'm still here.  If this is a dream, I should have woken up already.  I pinched my cheek to check if I'm awake.  Ouch! I'm definitely awake. And this is absolutely real.  So that means.... Mark really just came out of my tita's condo unit!

I immediately entered the room, and there I saw my tita sleeping on the sofa.

"Tita... Tita... Wake up! Tita, wake up!" I shook her shoulder to wake her up.

"Hmm... Meg? What are you doing here?" She asked groggily, as she straightened to sit up.

"Tita, is that really Mark I saw a while ago?" I asked, panicking

"Hmm? Mark? Ah, right! Where is he?" She answered, eyes now open

I was dumbfounded.  I can't speak for a moment.

"Tita, what was Mark doing here this morning? And why is he alone? Where are the others? I saw him leave a while ago" I asked calmly

"Uhm... Last night, we went to the coffee shop coz Jackson wants to see it then after that they went back to the hotel."

"So, how come Mark was here?" My heart is starting to beat faster.  I have this feeling that I wouldn't like the answer to my question.

"He... um... He insisted to stay here for the night." She replied.  She walked towards the kitchen.

"But... But why would he insist on staying here?" I can feel a lump in my throat.  I feel like choking... I want to cry...

She looked at me. "He just wanted to..." She said but I interrupted her

"Is he really just your friend?"  I can feel tears pooling in my eyes now

She stopped and just stared at me.  "Yes.  He's just a friend." She replied, concern on her face

"Tita, you know how much I love Mark, right?" I asked her

"Y-yeah... I know that he's your bias in Got7."

"Not just as bias.  Not just as a fan.  I love him.  As in... I'm really in love with him." I sobbed
