I punched Mr Popular (Mark X Seulgi )- Slow updates

Chapter 18

Mark's POV

Lying down with a towel covering my face, I tried to clear out my mind.

"I don't know why I have to be here." Jackson complained beside me.

"Sshh..." I shushed him. "I need someone in the room to keep me comfort." I hear Jackson sighed, probably rolling his eyes. Sitting up, I turned to Jackson taking the towel off my face.

"I don't feel good anymore. All my confident and courageous are gone. My pride too." I spoke with no energy in my voice.

"True to that. I mean, nobody's talking about how you won the game because it was only 3 points difference. Everyone's on about the hidden talent Lay revealed while you got hit in the face!"

I gave Jackson a look, "Thanks, that made me feel better." The sarcasm was heard in my tone but Jackson just shrugged, smiling at me. He went back to texting on his phone, probably one of his recent girlfriend.

"I don't know anymore Jack. I just feel really worn out that I get upset imagining a scenario that hasn't happened. I need your strength Jackson! It's tomorrow, I have to confess to Seulgi! Have you thought of anything yet?" I pleaded at Jackson. He looked like he was about to say something to me but held it in.

"Mark, Ok calm down...I think I know what to do. I have a plan." Jackson declared lowering his voice as he goes. He urges me to lean forward so I did.

"Ok when are you going to confess to her?" He asked.

"After school, when she walks home."

"Creepy."

"Oh shut up. So how do I do it?"

"Well, first don't wait for her to notice your presence. You need, no, you must make her notice you. Let her know you're following her. Be confident! Second, go up to her self-confidently, have no fear and don't show any timidity. Then, tell her 'Seulgi, I have something important to tell you. Please listen.' Third, wait for her answer which she'll probably say go ahead or let you talk. After that, say 'I don't know how it came to happened and you possibly doubt this but I like you."

"No, I'll say I love her." I interrupted. Jackson stared into my eyes for a second before continuing.

"Okay then, if you say so. You'll confess to her then. Say 'I love you' to her while staring deeply into her eyes okay! Don't look away, girls don't like that in man. And lastly ask her 'will you go out with me'! That's right Mark, be a man, show her your true feelings! Okay?!"

"Yes! I will! I am a man!" I responded raising my voice a bit to expression my determination.

Jackson rapidly nodded his head in agreement, "That's right Mark! Give it all your best. Tell her that you're not the person she thinks you are! Tell her how you really feel about her. Be honest, with not only to her but yourself as well."

"Yep. I'm going to do it. I'll just practise saying that a few times." I said and gave Jackson a high five but we kept our hand together like we're arm wrestling.

"You can do this. I'll be there too, but I'll keep my distance so she won't see me." Jackson comforted.

"Okay then, I feel so much better now." I smiled, getting up while finding my belongings. Jackson remained sitting while I slid my bag over my shoulder.

"Well then, thanks a lot Jackson. Let's head to our next lesson. The bell should ring in about 1 minute now. But first I need to change." I informed him.

"Yeah yeah, I'll head out soon. I have to see someone first." Jackson stated looking at his phone.

"Is it your new gf or something?" I questioned but Jackson shook his head. "Ok then, see ya. Wait."

I stopped in front of the door and turned back at Jackson, "How did you know all this confession stuff?" I asked.

"Internet." Jackson shrugged. I smiled, amused.

"Well then, I'll be going now. Gotta practise my phrase." I smiled before heading out.

Jackson's POV

"Well then, I'll be going now. Gotta practise my phrase." Mark smiled before walking out the door.

..........

The room was silence after he left. Only my breathing was heard.

"Stupid." I whispered out loud.
