Chapter Two

Chapter Two, Unexpected Guest

❝Please~?❞

—

It took me a moment to respond as I was staring at him blankly. No words coming out of my mouth.
I was a little taken aback by his sudden action, pulling out a bouquet of my favorite flowers just like that. How did he know that I like roses anyway? Or, maybe he doesn't know. I mean, most girls like roses, so maybe it was, like, a basic thing or something.

❝U-uh... thanks...?❞ I ended up accepting the bouquet and my respond came off more like a question in return.

Mark grinned even wider after I had accepted the flowers, but it only took him a few seconds before he turned awkwardly at me again. Rubbing the nape of his neck with a sheepish laugh.

❝And, uh...❞ he uttered out carefully, eyes darting at the ground as though he was being nervous, ❝I'm sorry for offending you. I didn't mean it like that...❞

I rolled my eyes, ❝yeah...❞

Silence wrapped around us again after that and I couldn't help, but feeling a tad bit annoyed of how uncomfortable it was. I was just studying the roses at this point, hoping for Mark to utter out a goodbye or simply just leave already.

❝I should--❞

❝I'll be--❞

At the moment when I was about to say something, Mark opened his mouth as well and we ended up talking at the same time. However, as that happened the both of us shut our mouth. Mark chuckled and rubbed his neck again,

❝You go first...❞ he said smiling.

Breathing out a light sigh I didn't protest and said what I was going to say, ❝I was gonna say that I should head inside, and you can leave as well,❞ I told him softly, being forcefully nice.

❝Hm,❞ the male hummed, still smiling, ❝I guess. Well, see you around then, Sabina,❞ he softly replied back and started to walk backwards to the gate.

All the while Mark's gaze never left my figure where I was still standing by the porche, watching as he was leaving. However not paying attention where he was going at all and was rather waving at me and being all smiley—I tried to warn him about my father's car that was just behind him, but it was already too late when he stumbled and crashed his back into it soon after. He almost lost his balance, but managed to get straight on his feet again before laughing at himself in embarrassment.
Face palming myself at him being so careless and clumsy, I let out another sigh of relief when he finally disappeared behind the gate wall. Whereas I took my leave as well and headed inside the house.

The next morning, I got awaken by the annoying sound of my ringing phone that had been vibrating on the side table for the last five minutes. I tossed myself around to face the other direction, cover my ears by the help of my head pillow and the blanket, but sadly, the ringing was as loud and annoying as before.
It was only the matter of time before I lost my shit, but just at the moment before I did, I forced myself up and finally silenced the disguised satan by picking up the phone.

❝What do you want?❞ I snapped at whoever was on the other side of the line, a part of me yelling my brother's name. However, my eyes flutter open in surprise when a voice sounded, far long from Chanyeol.
