Band Aids || Mark Lee

Epilogue

A few months later, the night of Eunbi, Jeno, Donghyuck, Renjun and Jaemins graduation, the gang was all crowded in the lounge.

"Cheers to the 2000 lines graduation" A large smile coated Taeyongs face, as he stood on the coffee table after probably a few too many drinks.

"Cheers!" There was a loud chorus of laughter, everyone raising their cans of alcohol to the ceiling as they yelled out.

The people of celebration were all still sober due to their ages, Chenle and Jisung included, but at least it was funny to see everyone else drunk off their asses. Eunbi couldn't help but smile as she looked around the room, her best friends and family filling every possible spot.

Yuta and Sicheng were on one armchair, Sicheng partially on Yutas lap as he clung to the boy, his drunken smile incredibly bright. Taeyong was still on the coffee table, Johnny holding him steady as the boy swayed. Taeil, Ten and Doyoung were all singing some congratulation song, the alcohol making them off key. Jeno and Jaemin were on the sofa, laughing a little too hard as Donghyuck and Renjun began a sculling competition with their soda, ending with Renjun snorting some out of his nose. Jaehyun and Sohye were also on one of the armchairs, Sohye having far too much fun squishing the boys cheeks up in her drunken state. Jisung and Chenle were sitting on the other sofa, making bets on who was going to pass out first.

There were three newcomers too, the boys they had captured when the stormed the HQ. Kun, Lucas and Jungwoo were actually not part of the Vixens, which explained why they were left there and absolutely clueless as to why they were taken. Kun was a tourist, roped in by some cruel fate, Lucas a mere news boy who was just dropping off a package, and Jungwoo was just a civilian in the wrong place at the wrong time. They had grown close to the gang throughout their accidental imprisonment and had decided to join the gang as well.

Finally there was Mark. Mark was simply sitting back on an armchair, Eunbis legs slung over his lap as she sat on the arm rest. He hadn't been drinking unlike the rest of the boys, perhaps due to something he was hoping to do or say. While Eunbis eyes trailed around the room, admiring each member of her knew family, his were trained on her.

Her dark eyes, her small nose, her soft jawline, her lips pulled into a gentle smile, the way her hair fell in a ponytail, the scar on her neck. Mark loved that scar, it wasn't big, but it wasn't exactly small. He didn't love it because it added to her beauty, which it did, but instead what memory it reminded him of. The second time he ever met her, the first time he felt such a strong feeling to protect a stranger.

His hand unconsciously trailed up her leg, sitting on her thigh as she turned to him, shooting him a stunning smile. He couldn't last long, he really couldn't. So he took her hand, sliding her legs off his as stood and led her out of the room and up to the balcony where they had shared their first kiss. There had been many more since then, small pecks that came with slight embarrassment and red checks.

She looked just as beautiful under the stars as she had that night, perhaps more so. He couldn't help but smile. The girl that stood in front of him was his, and he was hers.

"So why did you bring me out here?" Eunbi was curious about the boys actions seeing as he didn't usually pull her away from the others so suddenly.

"I've been wanting to talk to you" The words mildly scared Eunbi, but Marks gentle smile as he spoke showed her they held no malice.

"About what?" Eunbi couldn't help but giggle as Mark wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her flush against him as he buried his head in her hair.

"I love you" Mark could feel Eunbi smile as she placed a kiss on the bare skin of his neck, setting off butterflies in his stomach.

"I love you too Mark" Eunbi was couldn't help but pout when Mark pulled away from her, though it was gone the second his lips met hers. Unlike their previous kisses, he didn't pull away as quickly, his lips staying on hers as he pulled her closer once more.

Eunbi returned the kiss easily, their lips fitting together perfectly as they kissed, just how much love they felt for each other showing through it. Mark began to take small steps towards her, forcing her back until she met the wall, the cold wall sending goosebumps down her skin. Mark remained close, their bodies flush against one another as they kissed slowly, Eunbis hands moving from his back to his hair, gently running through it.

It lasted a while, the pair exchanging I love yous between kisses. When they finally pulled away, they stayed pressed against one another, the music from downstairs changing to a slow song as if they knew what was happening on the balcony above.

Mark kept his hands rested on Eunbis hips as she let hers fall to his neck, wrapping her fingers together as they began to sway. Neither could bring themselves to break the eye contact as they danced, the cold air making them edge closer for warmth. The moment was beautiful, shared under the light of the moon and the stillness of the night. There was nothing else Eunbi could possibly want, not now that she has so much.

It all started with a bandaid, but it ended with a lonely girl gaining a family and someone she knew would never leave her. It was her own fairy tale, one she couldn't wait to tell her future children. One she couldn't wait to tell her mum.

Mark noticed the tears welling in the girls eyes, and he instantly stopped, his hands going to her face to wipe them away, the love in his touch just making her cry more.

"What's wrong baby?" His voice was low, barely a murmur as he held her checks in his calloused palms.

"I just love you so much" Mark couldn't help but smile at her words, not matter how cheesy they were.

"I love you too Eunbi"

And with that, Donghyuck went back inside from where he had previously stood on the lawn, the speaker left behind as it continued to play slow music.
