"mark, can we talk for a second?", i finally made up the courage to ask. "what do you want to talk about, haneul? want to make my girlfriend bad in front of me again?!", he rolled his eyes and i felt a pain in my chest. "mark, just go talk to her", donghyuck said and jeno, jaemin and jisung nodded. "but i don't want to!", he almost yelled until taeyong pulled him up and pulled him out of the restaurant. "uh, you better follow them", koeun said to me and i nodded, quickly running outside as well.
"okay and now. you listen to her, understood?!", taeyong had mark grabbed by his collar and the younger looked rather intimidated. "thanks, tae. but really, let me do this, okay?", i smiled slightly and taeyong turned to look at me. "okay, little one. just tell me when he's being rude to you again", he said whilst glaring at mark and then left leaving us alone.
mark's expression showed that he was in no way interested in talking to me with his arms crossed over his chest and one eyebrow raised. "so, what is it", he sighed and i was looking for the best words. "i just...i just wanted to apologise for the things i said and the way i acted around everyone lately. that's not who i am and i don't know what has gotten into me. i just hope that we could start off new, as friends. i really wish you and hina the best of luck and i'm really sorry for the things i said and did", wow, i really just apologised for something i haven't even done...but honestly, i'm sick of this drama and i really don't want mark to hate me anymore.
but contrary to my hope his facial expression stayed cold. his eyes pierced into mine with so much disgust and hate filled inside of them my heart shattered into pieces. how can i persuade him that i'm not the person he thinks i am? i'm not even trying to get him to love me, i definitely accepted his and hina's relationship, i just want him to not hate me anymore. i just want to be his friend.
"don't apologise to me. apologise to hina", he said and instantly went inside again, leaving me behind without even looking back once. is that boy really serious?! i mean i get it, mark thinks that i'm the one bullying hina and that i'm fake and talk bad behind peoples' backs. but i'm not. i'm not the person he thinks he is. but i thought i was okay with him thinking i did all of these things as long as he forgives me for them. but how can one boy be so oblivious?!
entering the restaurant again all eyes were on me. "hey, hina. i just wanted to tell you that i'm sorry for all the things i said and did to you lately. i wasn't myself and i really regret what i did. i hope you can forgive me and that we can start anew?", i said with watery eyes. "no, it's fine. i get it. you were mad because we both like mark and he ended up falling for me. it must have been hard to accept for you but as long as you don't try to destroy our relationship, we're cool", hina smirked and my mouth fell open mirroring the expression of almost everyone else at the table.
did hina really just tell everyone about my feelings for mark? including him? "thanks", i said, which sounded more like a whisper and excused myself to the toilet. i couldn't let everyone see me cry. "hey, don't cry because of her. she's not worth it", i heard a voice approach me. "but tae, mark now knows that i have feelings for him!", i cried out hiding my face in the crook of his neck whilst he hugged me. "yeah, so what? he knows that you like him now maybe he will understand that you really didn't do those things and maybe he'll realise that you're really not who he thinks you are. just don't think so negative about this. he knows now so you can be proud about it. just wear your head high now, little one", he said whilst stroking my hair and i nodded.
