Death and Dying (A~ Got7 Fanfic)

Chapter 16 // Eric

Eric is beyond excited for today. Today Got7 would be coming on ASC. Eric is excited because he loves seeing Mark. The two rarely get time together because of their crazy schedules. Even if they weren't alone Eric treasured his time with Mark.

"What's got you so excited?" Kevin says coming up beside Eric and slinging his arm over his shoulder.

"Can't I just be in a good mood?" Eric replies, shrugging Kevin's arm off his shoulder.

"Is it because Mark's going to be on the show today?" Kevin questions, waggling his eyebrows.

"Shut up, Kevin." Eric says, punching the younger boy in the arm. He can feel his face heating up and hates that the younger knows him so well.

"Come on, Kevin. We have work to do," Eric says, dragging the younger boy behind him as they go to finish the preparations for the show.

Eric sighs dreamily to himself because Got7 would be arriving soon and Eric was ecstatic to see Mark again. He was a bit worried about why Jr was mad at Mark, but he truly didn't care if people knew about their relationship.

Eric wished the younger boy would allow them to be open about their relationship. Eric can't hug or kiss Mark in public. He has to act like they aren't a couple at all. He understands the younger boy's reasoning and is willing to wait until he's ready, but sometimes it's difficult.

Eric is snapped out of his thoughts when Jackson enters the room with Bambam and Yugyeom in tow. Bambam looks terrible. There are dark circles under his eyes and he looks like a zombie. The make up artists will be in for a treat today. Jackson looks resigned and Yugyeom looks extremely worried about Bambam. If Bambam doesn't do something within the next three days, Eric knows he will have to inform Mark and the other members of Got7. He only hopes that whoever Bambam is in love with will return his feelings. Watching him suffer is heartbreaking.

Eric moves to greet the three members of Got7. Jackson drags Bambam off to get his makeup done and Eric finds himself left alone with the maknae of the group. Yugyeom begins to recount his strange dream. Eric is only half listening, but something about a cheetah, a cliff, and a parrot. It doesn't really make sense. Yugyeom is still telling Eric about his dream when a bubbly Youngjae appears with the remaining three members. Eric completely tunes out Yugyeom when he spots Mark. They have talked on the phone, but the last time he actually saw Mark was when they went to the mall together. The elder feels uneasy about the way they left things.

Eric is snapped out of his daze when Yugyeom bids him goodbye and heads in the direction of the makeup artists. Eric sighs to himself. He needs to pull himself together. People will start to get suspicious if he keeps zoning out while staring at Mark. He's like a hormonal teenage boy.

Eric moves to greet the four members. They have a long conversation on what could be wrong with the maknae of the band. Apparently he does nothing but sleep and has been having extremely strange dreams. JB is convinced that he's just tired and simply needs rest. The dreams are simply dreams. Youngjae believes that the dreams need to be analyzed and they could possibly be a warning of the approaching apocalypse. Junior doesn't seem to care one way or another and thinks their whole conversation is stupid. Youngjae just ignores him and continues to explain how the dreams could possibly mean the end of the world. During this entire conversation, Eric's eyes are on Mark. Mark keeps making faces at him when no one's watching, and it's becoming difficult to hold in his laughter.

He must look like he's in pain because JB interrupts Youngjae's rant to ask if he's ok. Eric is finding it extremely difficult to hold in his laughter and quickly tells the younger he's fine before excusing himself, saying he needs to talk to Kevin. He doesn't even know where Kevin is.

Eric excuses himself and finds it difficult to keep his composure as he walks away. As soon as he sees Kevin, he bursts out laughing, startling the younger male. Kevin simply stares at Eric laughing, sighs, and then walks away. This only makes Eric laugh harder. At this point he's not entirely sure why he's laughing.

Eric really needs to get a grip.

The show begins and Eric feels like one hour isn't enough time to showcase everything the members of Got7 have to offer.

The show if filled with Kevin and Jimin teasing him about getting married, Bambam making sexual innuendos, Youngjae speaking english, and Jackson screaming. Junior seems slightly tired and JB remains quiet like most times he's on ASC. Yugyeom takes every opportunity he has to mess with Bambam and it's entertaining to watch. Eric still finds himself captivated by Mark. When they enter the first hangout and someone has a request for Mark he finds himself staring longer than necessary. Jimin, who's sitting next to him, elbows him in the gut when everybody is paying attention to something else.

Eric really thought he could keep himself from staring at Mark but, apparently not.
