"How dare you decline my call?!"

Jae scolded when sunmi had called him back.

" I'm sorry "

She answered giggling at his reaction.

"Why did you call though?"

"Excuse you. We want to know how your night went"

Henry screamed through the phone.

"Did you two seriously stay up just to annoy me?"

She laughed thinking about it.

" the party was okay I guess. But I met Jimin guys! My bias was There can you imagine?"

Hours ticked by as they kept talking on the phone.

That night Mark couldn't sleep. He did everything he could but after a while he just gave up. He went to the kitchen to eat something when he noticed that sunmi was awake too.

"I should ask her if she wants to join"

He thought opening the door to her room.

"Yes"

She giggled into the phone.

"I love you but I'm not in danger stop exaggerating"

Mark stopped what he was doing and went back to the kitchen. But he wasn't hungry anymore. It hurt hearing this excitement in her voice when she was talking to another guy.

"Good morning sir"

Jae greeted Mark who was just leaving the apartment. He didn't bother answering as he closed the door behind him.

"Such good manners.. that jerk"

Jae joked to himself.

"Why are you here? I don't think I need to be protected at home daily"

"Don't get rude child I'm here as your friend not your bodyguard"

Sunmi looked at him confused.

" Child? We're the same age you chicken"

"I'm a month older"

Jae smirked until he realized what she'd just said.

"Who told you about that nickname?"

He asked turning around to look at a mischievously smiling sunmi.

"Oh you mean chicken?"

She laughed.

"No one had to tell me you literally look like little chicken"

"Hey Respect your elders"

He lightly shouted tickling her back from behind.

"Or I'll tickle you until you can't say ANYTHING"

He kept tickling her as she was squirming around.

"No.. stop"

"What? I can't hear you! Are you trying to say 'I'm sorry jae and I won't do it again' ?"

"Never"

"What ?"

He smiled tickling her harder.

"Okay okay I'm sorry"

"I didn't hear you"

"I"

She deeply inhaled

"won't call you chicken sorryy. Please stop"

"she told you to stop"

A stern voice interrupted them.

With a darkness in his eyes mark walked up to the two to pull his fiance behind him.

"Isnt today your day off? Why are you here?"

" he came because-"

"I didn't ask you"

Mark snapped making sunmi shift her gaze to the ground.

" sir I came because her friend wanted me to check up on her. I came here as a worried friend"

"Leave the apartment now. You'll be called when you have to work. There's no need for you to be here on your free days"

Without saying another word jae left the apartment. Glancing at sunmi to see if she was okay.

And there was silence. But not a comforting silence. It felt like waiting for a storm to arrive.

"Listen"

Mark turned around to face her.

" You can't invite male friends here. The press likes to make things up. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

He asked not loosening his grip around her wrist.

I held her waiting for her to look at me. Hoping she would finally recognize me..

It's been a while since we've been living together. It hurt. It hurt so much seeing the way she looked at me. Still looks at me. Like I'm no one.
I tried getting over it but I can't. Not when she's here. Not when she flirts with other guys when I'm around.

Today it marks 6 years since that day. Six years since she had last looked at me with love in her eyes.

"You're hurting me mark"

Her voice came out so vulnerable. But I couldn't help it.

"Please look at me"

She raised her head looking at me. I could tell she was nervous, maybe even afraid.

"I'm sorry"

I said letting go of her wrist. It was true I was sorry. Sorry for letting her go that day, sorry for dissappointing her, sorry for pulling her back into this. And sorry for still loving her more than my own life.

I couldn't take it. I couldn't be next to her. On my way to practice I sat down on a bench. Just to breath and take a break.

"You lied to me"

"You lied to me"

Jackson looked at Mark worried.

"Why would you lie?"

"What do you me-"

Before Mark could finish his sentence Jackson had pulled the picture out.
It was a picture of him and sunmi From 7 1/2 years ago.

"Why do you got through my private things Jackson?"

Mark said raising his voice.

"And then you have the audicity to-"

"You love her don't you?"

Mark calmed down hearing the pity in his friends voice.

"Yes"

He sat back down putting his head into his hands.

"Yes. So much"

"Is she the girl you told me about in our debut days?"

Jackson asked confused.

"Yes"

"Why doesn't she hate you?"
