Chapter Thirteen

Mark's POV

  "Good work everyone."

  "Have a good rest."

  "Good night everyone."

  All six of us did our final greeting for the day and prepared to head back to the dorm. As usual, I'm the first one to leave the venue but instead of being excited to back to the dorm and sleep, I'm excited to be meeting A Ra again.

  "Let's go home and rest hyung," Bambam said while walking with me to the van.

  I didn't reply him and just continued to walk quietly to the parking lot. When we were about to reach the parking lot, I purposely walked slower until I was at the back of the group. While everyone was busy talking amongst themselves, I secretly pulled Jinyoung away from the rest of the group. I did a final check of the surroundings to make sure that no one was paying attention to Jinyoung and I before speaking up.

  "How am I supposed to get away without them being suspicious? You know I'm always the first one to go home at the end of the day. They're going to get suspicious when I say that I'm going somewhere else," I asked Jinyoung for help in a hushed voice.

  I told Jinyoung about my plans with A Ra yesterday, through text and asked him to help me keep it a secret from the members. I planned on taking A Ra to the company's basement practice room to hang out so that I didn't have to worry about anyone recognising me. I wasn't worried about anyone else using that particular practice room since the only ones in the company that actually uses that room are GOT7 and the 2PM hyungs. GOT7 are obviously not using the room tonight since all of them are going to go back to the dorm and 2PM hyungs all have busy schedules right now.

  "Hyung, don't worry. I have a plan. You just have to act natural," Jinyoung reassured me.

  I gave Jinyoung an unsure look before getting into one of the vans. Just my luck, I went into the van that has both the maknaes. I tried to do what Jinyoung told me to do and 'act natural' (whatever that even mean). I did what I would normally do in a situation like this. I just took out my headphones and try to tune out the maknaes. I was silently praying that Jinyoung's plan works while trying to 'act natural'.

  "Mark hyung, PD-nim wants to see us at the company," just when I thought that I won't ever escape the maknaes, Jinyoung opened the door to the van to come to my rescue. "You two can go back to the dorm first. Mark hyung and I can take a taxi to the company," he continued while pulling me out of the van.

  Before the maknaes could say anything, Jinyoung closed the door and told our driver to go without us. I was about to ask Jinyoung about the other guys but he answered me before I had the chance to open my mouth.

  "I told them the same thing. They didn't suspect anything."

  "Thanks man. I owe you one," I thanked him, as we walked out of the parking lot to hail a taxi.

  "Where did you ask her to meet you hyung?" Jinyoung asked me (with a hint of worry in his voice) when we were reaching the company. "You have to be careful hyung, you might get caught," he continued.

  "Who do you think you're talking to Jinyoung? Of course, I've thought about that," I reassured him.

  I knew that whatever I do and where ever I go are all being recorded by either fans or the paparazzi. I didn't want A Ra to get caught up that life. I made sure I planned the meeting carefully so that no one would find out about A Ra (even the members). I texted her earlier today to meet me at one of the café near the back entrance of the company building. I told her that I was going to enter through the main entrance of the building and would text her again when its ok for her to enter the building. It should be easier to sneak her in since there was almost no one outside the building.
