The car ride back was a long and silent one.

Once the sun had set and the night was beginning to fall, we decided to leave before it got too late. But for some reason, the minute we got in the car, the air between us went from light to heavy.

Mark appeared distressed and frustrated, his eyebrows furrowing together while he concentrated on the road.

I was tempted to ask if he was alright, but thought better of it. Giving him space instead of prying into his mind seemed like the best option.

For a moment, I thought maybe it had something to do with me, considering the fact that he never even said one word on our way back. Not even a simple glance.

After thirty minutes of nothing but pure silence, we finally arrive back to Mark's house, only for him to hastily turn off the engine and get out of the car, leaving me behind feeling utterly confused.

What's up with him?

I undo my seat belt and follow behind him, but making sure to keep my distance. He unlocks the door and goes in first, never giving me any hint of acknowledgement.

That's it.

"Is everything oka--" I begin to ask, but accidentally bump into him. Before I could say anything, I freeze at the sound of unfamiliar voices.

"Where have you been?"

"Don't you know what time it is?"

"We've been waiting for hours!"

Their interrogation abruptly stops when their eyes land on me as I stand sheepishly behind Mark.

Oh my lord.

It's the rest of them.

I never quite understood what it meant to be starstruck--until now. Because when you find yourself to be the center of attention of ALL the members of GOT7, you start to feel some type of way.

They stood there, each and every one of them, completely shocked as their eyes flashed between Mark and I. And it wasn't until then when I realized exactly what they were thinking.

"Yah! You have a girlfriend?!" One of them spoke first.

"When were you gonna tell us?" Another added on.

"No wonder he had his phone turned off." The one standing next to him wiggled his eyebrows, causing me to laugh.

"She's just an old friend." Mark hastily corrects them, after coming back to his senses from being momentarily stunned. "What are you guys doing here?"

They all ignore him.

"Any friend of Mark is a friend of ours." One boy says with an infectious smile and jet black hair, "What's your name?"
