A/N: Happy Thai/Khmer/Laos New Year everyone. It was on the 13th but people are still celebrating. I think this is the last day but still... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Good luck to everyone!
It was your friend, Mark's month off so you invited him back to the States to celebrate Khmer/Thai/Laos New Year with you and your family at the temple. You and Mark walked together, walking hand in hand, looking around. People were selling foods, clothes, toys, accessories, and more while others dance by the stage. Some people were in the back, praying with the monks.
You were left to take care of your nephew, Dylan. You walked around with Mark and Dylan looking for food. You ended up buying grilled beef on a stick along with chicken on a stick. The three of you sat on the steps of the temple and ate together.
"This place is fun," said Mark. "There are so many people here."
"Yeah," you said. "I think this is the most I've seen so many people." You took off your snapback and placed it on Mark's head. "To be safe. Wouldn't want anything wild to happen when you're on break."
"____, is that you?" Asked a familiar deep voice.
You turned around to see your ex-boyfriend, Jason. "Jason! Hi!" you smiled.
"It is you," he smiled back. "It's been a while."
"Yeah." You looked at Mark as he stood up and Dylan sat there, continuing to eat.
"Wow. You already have a family."
"What?"
"To be honest I was hoping it wasn't you. I guess I didn't want to believe that you're already off the market and have a son."
"S-Son?" You looked at Dylan then back at Jason. "Oh no! You got it wrong! This is my nephew! And this is my friend, Mark."
"Really?" asked Jason with a sign of relief.
"Yeah. I'm too busy to be in a relationship."
"What do you do?"
You looked at Mark wondering if it's okay to tell Jason. But you decided to tell him anyway. "I'm a trainee under JYP Entertainment."
"No way!" cried Jason. "I didn't know you sing!"
"I'm training to be a rapper in a girl group."
"Wow that's amazing! Wait so if you're a trainee at JYP then does this mean that this Mark here is Mark from GOT7?"
Mark took off the snapback. "It's nice to meet you," said Mark.
"Wow! You're really him!"
Mark nodded.
Jason looked at you. "You know, you changed a lot since... you know. When we were dating."
"How so?"
"You've gotten more beautiful and I didn't think that was possible. Your smile shines brighter than-"
"Hold up," said Mark. "What are you trying to do?"
"What? Obviously catching up." He looked at you and smiled again. "As I was saying, your smile shines brighter than before. I guess it's because-"
"She's happy," Mark interrupted again.
You didn't know what was going on with Mark. Usually he's nice to everyone he meets... and shy.
"She was happy before," said Jason.
"Let me guess," said Mark. "With you?" he said sarcastically.
"Mark," you said, wanting him to stop.
"Look at the relationship between you two now."
"Mark!" You looked at Jason. "Sorry. Can you excuse us?"
Jason nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you around."
"Bye," you smiled as he walked away. You turned to Mark, smile gone. "Mark, what are you doing?"
"That asshole broke your heart!" said Mark. "He dumped you for another girl!"
"Mark, that's my other ex-boyfriend. This ex-boyfriend and I broke up because he moved. I guess he moved back when I moved to Korea."
"It doesn't matter. I don't like any of your ex-boyfriends." Mark grabbed your hands. "____, I don't like any of your ex-boyfriends... because... I can't explain it."
"Try," you said, trying to understand.
"I wish I met you before you met all of your exes. Then, I get to be your first date, your first boyfriend, and your first kiss."
You smiled. "None of my ex-boyfriends stole my first kiss yet. And you know what's different about you compared to them? You succeed in stealing my heart when they couldn't."
"Wait! So you feel the same way too!?"
You let out a little laugh and nodded. "I do. For a while now."
Mark pressed his forehead against yours. He then moved his hand up to your cheek while the other hand on your waist. He leaned in and slowly pressed his lips against yours . The perfect kiss.
"Ew," we heard a little voice say and quickly moved away from each other from embarrassment. It turned out it was your nephew who said it.
You and Mark laughed as the two of you interlocked hands.
