Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

(chapter 7 for GOT7 hehehe)

Mark's POV

  "Let's go out there and do our best. The ahgasaes are counting on us. Jackson's counting on us. Let's have fun tonight. GOT7 FIGHTING!" JB gave us some quick words of encouragements before we started our fan meet.

  Six of us were in the hallway backstage waiting for our cue to enter the stage. Even from where we stood backstage, we could hear the loud cheers from the fans. I could hardly hear JB's words a few moments ago. We were all nervous yet excited to perform for everyone out there. I think it's because we worked really hard for this comeback and we are scared for the reaction that we would get from the ahgasaes.

  "Mark Hyung, come on. We have to do our cheer before we go on stage," Bambam pulled me into the group circle while he was saying that.

  "G. O. T. 7. JANG!"

  "Let's do this guys!"

  "Fighting!"

  "Never ever!"

  Throughout all the songs we performed, there was one person in the crowd that caught my attention. Every time we performed, she wouldn't look at us; she would look down and at times she would also pull down her cap to cover her eyes. She would only look up at us and the stage when we're not performing. Even then, she kept her cap on throughout the whole night. I couldn't get a proper look at her face.

  I don't know why, but my eyes kept going back to her during the entire night. Something about her seems familiar; as if I knew her from somewhere before.

  "Mark hyung, do you know that girl? The one who you've been staring at the whole night?" Bambam asked me in a teasing tone right before when we had to go back on stage for the encore.

  As soon as I want to say something back to Bambam, we were called back on stage. While walking up the stairs to the stage, I seize the opportunity to flick Bambam's ear. When I turned back to look at his reaction, he looked like he was going to try and hit me back but he couldn't because we were already on stage and the ahgasaes were watching us.

  I didn't need Bambam's teasing to know that I kept staring at the girl with the cap. Throughout the whole song, I found myself glancing at her direction for at least four times. That's seriously a lot of times for a song that's under four minutes. Instead of Bambam, Jinyoung was the one who caught me stealing glances at her. At one point, Jinyoung even tried looking at where I was looking at.

  "Seriously hyung, you have to control yourself with girls. Firstly, it was a girl who fainted at a café. Now, it's a girl wearing a cap that looks the same as your favourite black cap. I know that the dating ban is over but that doesn't mean that you have to look for girls now," Bambam said to me in English once we entered our changing room.

  It took me a while to register what Bambam just said. 'Now, it's a girl wearing a cap that looks the same as your favourite black cap'. My favourite black cap... I lost it a week ago. I left it in A Ra's hospital room when I was visiting her. She has my favourite black cap. That girl, she can't be her right? She didn't even know what my job was last time I saw her. I only told her that I work as an idol; I never told her about GOT7. It can't be her. I don't believe it. It would be a miracle if it was her. I wish it was her.

  "Hyung you're thinking about her right, now right?" Yugyeom came into the conversation and asked me. "Wait, which girl are you thinking about? The girl in the café or the girl with the cap just now?" He asked another question before letting me answer the previous one.

  I just rolled my eyes at the maknaes and walked away from them to pack my things. Everyone was busy packing the things that were brought into the venue this afternoon. The members were either disturbing each other or changing out of their stage outfit. We were going to visit Jackson at the hospital before we went back to the dorm.

  "Are we going straight to the hospital or are we stopping somewhere to buy something to eat?" Youngjae asked no one in particular while everyone was busy packing up. "I'm kind of hungry. We haven't eaten anything since lunch," he continued.

  I stood up and volunteered to buy some snacks from a convenient store nearby. The guys agreed to that and told me that once they were done packing up, they would be waiting for me at a roadside that's somewhere in between the venue and the convenient store. I quickly took my bag and left the room to go buy snacks from the convenient store.

  When I left the venue, I made sure I kept my identity hidden by covering my face with a cap and a mask. I was also wearing almost all black outfit so I don't stand out so much. I was lucky that the street was almost empty; only one or two group of people were walking on the pathway that I was walking on. Even though there was almost no one around, I still rushed to the convenient store. I wanted to get out of the cold weather as soon as possible. I seriously think that the weather in Korea hasn't got the memo that it's going to be spring soon; it still feels like winter.

  "Anneonghaseayo," the guy behind the counter greeted me when I entered the store.

  I greeted him back before going into the store to find some snacks for the team. I picked up random things that I thought the guys would love to eat and some stuff that I would personally like to eat. In less than five minutes. I managed to grab more than enough snacks for all of us to eat for the night; I think the amount of snacks that I grabbed would be enough to last the seven of us for a whole week. I thanked the cashier after I paid for the snacks and I head to the bus stop that was outside the convenient store.

  Jinyoung-ah, I'm at a bus stop near the venue. Where are you guys?

  I quickly texted Jinyoung when I reached the bus stop. I was going to plug in my earpiece to listen to some music but something caught my attention. Besides me, there was only one other person at the bus stop. It was a girl who was in a thick jacket that was clearly too big for her. The thing that caught my attention was her cap. She was wearing a black cap; a cap that was very similar to my favourite black cap. My black cap was with A Ra. A Ra... A Ra... Kim A Ra...

  Could she be? What were the odds of the girl at the bus stop right now being A Ra. It would be a miracle if the girl was A Ra.

  "Kim A Ra, what are you doing here alone in the middle of the night?" My mouth blurted out those few words before my head could even comprehend what was happening.

  At first the girl didn't have any reaction to what I just did but after a few seconds, she started to turn around. She was turning around slowly, almost as if she was scared of what she would find once she turned around. I chuckled at her when she was doing that. It took her a few seconds to fully turn behind. When I could finally see her face, I was seriously surprised.

  Miracles do happen.
