TIME: Mark Tuan edition

Chapter 67

"Do we need more food?" I ask as the number of empty dishes increase.

"No more. I think I'm going to explode," Youngjae groans holding his stomach.

"JB do you need any more food?" I ask with a slight chuckle as I see him still eating the last bits.

"No, I'm fine," he declines as he takes another spoonful.

"Should we go for karaoke? Round 2?" Yugyeom asks holding up two fingers.

"Yah, maknae. We still have stuff to do tomorrow," Jinyoung scolds.

"But we don't go out anymore," he complains.

"How about after promotions and when you guys really have free time, okay?" I offer.

"I'm down for that," Aaron nods.

"Yeah! It'd be fun," Lara agrees.

"Momma! Can I go?" Miguel bounces in his seat beside me. I chuckle and nod my head.

"So after we come back and have free time," Mark confirms. We all nod and ask for the check. "Are you sure you want to pay for tonight?"

"Yeah, why not?" I furrow my brows as I already take out my wallet.

"I don't know. We can split it. I mean we're both the reason why we're eating here," Mark shrugs.

"No need. I already said I'd pay," I wave him off.

"But-"

"No buts. I've paid for things before. It's not going to change just because," I tell him. He sighs and gives in.

"Whipped!" Marco laughs.

"Yah!" Mark exclaims.

"So, Noona," Bambam starts. "Do you wear the pants in the relationship?"

I burst out laughing and look over at Mark who has now beginning to sulk. I pat his arm and smile.

"We are both wearing pants, Bam. No need to say who's in control. Nothing has changed that much," I tell him. Mark wraps an arm around my side and I instinctively lean into his side.

"Will anything change now that you guys are together?" Youngjae asks. "Will you be at the dorm more often?"

"Why does it matter to you?" Jinyoung laughs. "You're with your brother."

"I'm still around!" Youngjae argues.

"Everything is still going to be the same, guys. We're all just a group of friends. It's not like anything is different with Lara and Marco, right?" I point out.

"But we met them when they were already together," Bambam points out.

"We weren't together-together when we met you guys," Marco admits. All of GOT7 was confused. "Yeah we had something, but I hadn't asked her out officially."

"Daebak. I totally thought you guys were together already," Jackson says. Marco and Lara just shrug.

"They honestly should have already been together then," Jen says chuckling.

"Sorry to interrupt, but should I get something for Brian? You guys can bring it back to him," I ask Jen as I receive the bill.

"No. It's his fault for not joining in," Jen rolls her eyes. "He's being weird and unreasonable. Don't worry about him."

"I thought you said everything was fine?" Mark whispers to me. I turn to him and shrug.

"I mean from what I recall he said the past was the past," I say.
