[Completed]Moonlight-Ft. NCT's Mark Lee

Chapter six

HAE RA'S POV

It's been a week since I started helping Mark with his studies. He is a fast learner. I don't have to bang my head against the wall out of irritation like what I used to do with TY.

TY can seriously be a pain in the ass when it comes to studies. Our group studies with Yuta aren't exactly group studies. It's kind of a private tuition for TY. Yuta has enough patience to deal with him but not me.

"So Baby Mark. What topic are we supposed to do today?"

"Can we take a break today?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"I mean can we..umm.. go and..and eat ice cream or something?" He was flustered for no reason.

"But it's almost dinner time." Today I came late to teach him because of my extra classes.

"We can call hyung too." His eyes softened as he said that.

"Please." He almost gave up when I nodded.
"Okay." I pinched his cheeks and he blushed.

We told Mrs. Lee about it and went to the ice cream parlour.

I was busy studying the long list of ice creams. There should be just one so that we all could be saved from this massive confusion!

"Butterscotch for you?"
"You still remember Baby Mark?" It feels great that someone apart from TY knows my favourites. The famous Lee Brothers.
After taking our ice-creams we made our way towards a nearby park.

"I'm so happy that you are back!"
We were both seated on a bench and licking our ice creams which he bought for us. His treat.

"You didn't reply to any of my messages." I complained. I used to wait for his messages everyday. I even missed my school for a few days worrying about him. Then days passed and eventually I got over it.

"Initially I was busy adjusting in the new place. You know like making friends and all. But I didn't forget about you." He looked straight into my eyes. "You have no idea how much I missed you."

The moment those words came out of his mouth it felt different. The way he said it, looking dead straight into my eyes without a blink.

I avoided the eye contact and tried to change the subject. "Yah! You don't call me noona anymore." I lightly punched his shoulders. He chuckled in return and looked at the sky.

"Do you mind if I say something?"
"Go ahead." I said licking my ice cream.
"I like you." I stopped midway on what I was doing and looked in his direction. No! I shouldn't be getting these thoughts. I am taking this the wrong way. He is like a younger brother to me. He doesn't mean it that way. He is too young for this stuff.

"Aww! Baby Mark! I like you too." Then I pinched his cheeks.

"It's been a long day. Where is your hyung? He was supposed to come here." I changed the topic. Again.

"Taeyong hyung is not coming."

"Wae? Why didn't you tell me before?"

He raised his eyebrows a bit. "Do you mind it?"

"Of course not! Why would I? But you should have told me before."

"I thought we could spend some time together and catch up for the previous years when we weren't in proper contact." He is right. We have a lot to catch up.

"So…what do you think?"
I was confused for a moment but soon realised what he was talking about. I didn't want to spoil the moment so I pretended  to not know.

"About what?" Why is he acting so strange all of a sudden? Did something happen to him?

"Is everything okay?" I held his left shoulder and squeezed it lightly. "You can voice out your thoughts to me. Just like old times." He didn't budge from his position so I tried to lighten up the mood.

"Remember when you had a crush on Min Hee and how you made a big deal about her when she did a project with another guy." He just nodded in  response and continued looking at the sky view. Ottoke?!

"I like you." He said again, softly.
"You kno-"

He didn't let me finish as his lips touched mine. It was a short and sweet enough for me to savour his lips fully. And even for that brief moment I managed to close my eyes.
He pulled away. His face dangerously close to mine.

"Whats wrong with you?" I whispered enough for him to hear.

"I should be the one asking you that. Whats wrong with you? After all those times we spent together how can you not know about my feelings? How can you be so dense?" He still didn't budge from his position.

"Mark its wrong!" I tried to be as stern as possible.

"Is it so wrong to like you or to build up enough courage to confess my feelings for you?" I could see the pain in his eyes. His voice shook as he let out those words.

I couldn't speak a word after that. Our gazes were locked. I didn't know what was going in his mind. Heck I didn't even know what was going in my own mind.

He slowly leaned forward to let me be aware of his actions. As much as I wanted to back away, I couldn't do it. His gazes shifted from my lips to my eyes and then to my lips. Whereas my iris never left his lips. Why is this happening? Out of all the people why me? Why him?

Once again his lips met mine. It was a soft touch until he started moving his lips. There was something about his lips as they capitavated me.

Unknowingly I let go of my ice cream and my hands reached for his nape pulling him in as I let out a small gasp.
I tilted my head and deepened the kiss. I'm probably not in my right mind. All thoughts left me when I felt his hand on my waist and his free hand made his way behind my head. We were still seated on the bench. My back was pressed against the top part of the bench. He has become physically strong.

There was an electrifying sensation when he touched me. Our lips never left each others.

With all my courage I slightly pushed him away.
"Mark.We.Can't." I said in between my uneven breaths.

I stood up and left the place without even glancing at him. It was frustrating. He is four years younger than me. How can he even think about it?

We've been close as friends and I thought he looked up to me as his Noona. But he proved me wrong.

He is not the only one at fault.
I did something which I shouldn't have done.
I shouldn't have kissed him back.
I shouldn't have given him any hope.

Why can't I pull myself away when he first kissed me?
Why did I give in so easily?

MARK…what did you do to me?
_________
A/N: It's basically the prologue I know. But it just means one thing. Their love story has begun. Baby Mark confessed! So proud of him.
What will Hae Ra do now?
Will she discuss this with TY or Taeil oppa or Yuta? Cannot forget Irene here.

Mark looks like a five yr old in "Chewing Gum".
*Hae Ra didn't addressed him as Baby Mark after the kiss* that means……
