"Mark hyung! Jee Hae nuna! Come join us! Don't be such partypoopers." Youngjae pouted. They're all sweaty. "I don't want us to be squished together in the van with all of you sweating that much. It's gross" I heard Mark oppa whispered to himself. He was shocked when I laughed. He didn't notice I heard him. "No thanks! We don't want to be squished together with you guys sweating that much. He said it's gross!" I shouted while pointing at Mark Oppa. "Yah!" Mark oppa exclaimed looking betrayed.
They all looked at each other with evil grin in their faces. Uh-oh.
Next thing I knew, I was laying and they were squeezing Mark oppa and I. "Yah! Gross! You're all sweating!" I tried to escape but it's no use. I rolled on to my right and it turned out that my face was too close with Mark oppa's. Our lips almost touched. I froze.
After that incident, Mark oppa's stares become more often. I feel awkward everytime our eyes meet. Plus, time flew so fast, that it's night already. I got comfortable in the dorm quickly. It's so cozy. And yeah, I share the same room with Jackson and Mark oppa. Since there's no other room available. I wanted to stay with Youngjae tho, we became really close after the picnic thingy. But then since, the other rooms are full of stuffs, sharing with them will be very uncomfortable. Jackson's room still has a lot of space so yeah, I can handle it. We're all laying in the living room. Bambam thought it would be fun to spend our first night together in the living room and we all agreed. They brought their own matress. Mark oppa, on his left is Youngjae, then me, Bambam, Jackson, Yugyeom, Jr, and lastly, JB oppa.
It's only 12 and they're all sleeping soundly. While, I'm here, wide awake, about to die from boredom. I'm hungry. I stood up and went straight to the kitchen to look for food. The fridge is empty, there's nothing to eat. Not even snacks or ramyeon. Seriously?

"What are you doing?" I almost screamed and my heart almost dropped. Mark oppa was standing behind me figuring out what I was doing. "Ah jinjja. I'm hungry so I decided to look for some food to eat. I must've woken you up. Sorry." He remained silent. He was just staring so I looked down, I can't find some excuse to escape this situation. This is so awkward. "Kaja (Let's go)" then he grabbed my hand. "What?"

We were heading out the door. I was surprised when he put the hood of my onesie down and put a mask on my face. "We can't go out with our face exposed." Oh right, I forgot, they're idols. We're both wearing black mask and, hey! We're matching onesies. We're both wearing panda onesie. I removed the mask and smiled widely at him. He looked confused. "We're matching onesies!" I got excited and I swear. Behind that mask, I saw him smiled! Omo! He chuckled. I heard it! "Yah. Put your mask back on, leet's go" "Wheeeeeere?" He didn't answer. Instead, he just gave me a look.
"Where are we going? Oppa I'm hungryyy." "That's why I dragged you out to eat." He replied in a duuh-tone. "But I did not bring anything with me, you dragged me out so suddenly." I stopped but he just continued walking. "It's my treat." I heard him replied. Yaaay
He's not a cold person after all. Because most restaurants near us were closed, we ended up in a market. "Go and get whatever you want." I gave him a look. I am pretty sure that my eyes were twinkling. Hey we're talking about food.

Mark

"Go and get whatever you want." She gave me a look. Here eyes were twinkling. It's a good thing I wore a mask, she can't see me smiling. "Are you serious?" sigh. This girl, really. I removed my mask and stared deeply into her eyes. "Do I look like I'm kidding?" but I guess it was a wrong move. Her face turned red and tried to hide it from me. Thump thump thump thump. Okay, why is my heart beating fast? I'm pretty sure I'm fine. To lessen the awkwardness that surrounded us, I ruffled her hair and put her hood up. Like how mine was. I was pushing the cart behind her while she's too busy picking out foods. Woah. Can she finish this all? She went beside me and pushed the cart with me. "I bought a lot so we don't have to go out and we can just eat peacefully in the dorm, or maybe I could cook for you. Let's go to the cashier shall we?" she can replace Jr with the 'eomma' role anytime.
