Epilogue

3 Months later...

  Today, in this morning, the sun has risen and as usual, the both of them always meet up in here, since they were both starting to be close friends, Jinyoung asked Mark to go to school together because Jinyoung just moved in Indonesia 5 months ago, he is curious to see place around the school so he could get used to it everytime he goes to school, Mark agreed to him since their house is pretty close to each other, by the way, he knows because they both often go home together from school. Every school day, Mark always comes earlier than Jinyoung in the morning and wait for him near the closed restaurant near the fork road heading towards school, but today is different because Mark is late.

  'Where is he, it's already this time and he still hasn't come yet. Even though I've waited for 30 minutes, but he still hasn't come. Seems like he's late, but Mark has never been late...' Jinyoung thought to himself while checking his phone, who knows there is a chat notification from Mark.

  06.45 A.M

   Then suddenly, a boy arrives with his heavy panting and messy hair. The sunshine lit his natural brunette hair strands and it really shone. "Ah, *pants* mian (sorry), you must've waited long, I'm really sorry, I woke up late today, and when I was on my way to come here, there was a grandma that wanted to cross the road, so I helped her because it looked like she had difficulties when she wanted to cross the road, so I went here late. Again I'm really sorry, let's go now so we won't be late." Mark said panting while walking to Jinyoung to stand beside him. "Yea, it's okay Mark, at least we're not late right? However, if you were later than that, I would've gone to school first and leave you behind." Jinyoung said with a straight face but a little bit upset. "Wow, please don't leave me behind, how could you say that?... Anyways thanks for waiting about 30 minutes for me." he said with a friendly smile. "Yes, your welcome. Let's go now." Jinyoung said still with an upset tone. "Don't be upset, also don't leave me behind, you're my best friend, and best friends are supposed to wait for each other." Mark said with a joking tone in his voice.

  "Oh I will wait for you IF you don't come very late, because I don't wanna be late with you, better off the one that gets punished for being late is you right? So, the only one that's at a disadvantage is you and I don't have to follow." Jinyoung said, amused. "How could you, you betrayed our friendship." he whines half joking while looking away. "Ah, I'm sorry Mark, I was just kidding, I didn't mean what I said before." Jinyoung said with a worried face that he might have hurted him with his words. "Oh, then that's great." his face immediately looks happy again. "But seriously though, don't be late again, especially for 30 minutes more." he said with a serious but cute face. "Yes, I promise I won't be late again, so relax." Mark said while smiling then ruffles Jinyoung's hair, he looks surprised then pouts. "Look what you did Mark, my hair's messy now." he said with sullen face. "Uhm, yes, I'm sorry Young, you just look so teaseable." Mark fixes his hair while he smiles.

  They both finally arrive at school and directly headed to their classroom, luckily, they weren't late, it's 5 minutes before 7 o'clock, they came in the right time and directly sat down on their seats.

"You guys are together even though you're almost late." Rico teased while looking at them both. "Ugh..." Mark sighed, he is practically fed up with Rico's teasing, meanwhile, Jinyoung is looking at Rico confused.

*creeak* (the door is being pushed open)

  "Good morning everyone, please take your biology textbooks and open page 21." the teacher said assertively while writing something on the whiteboard.

  Rico, Mark, Jinyoung, and the other students turned over to the whiteboard and listen to the science teacher's explanation about the new material in the science lesson until the teacher was done teaching and the student went out so hectic just to eat their breakfast.

  Now it is noon, the lessons today are over and Jinyoung is currently waiting for Mark in front of the school gate, because Mark is the student council president so his work is much heavier than the other members , he's forced to go home late, so Jinyoung often waits for him when Mark tends to suddenly have work to do. "Sorry Jinyoung, did you wait for a long time?" Mark asked, "Nope, but it must feel tiring to be a student council president, is it?" Jinyoung said with a pity look on his face. "Kinda tiring, but there is also the fun in it." he said while staring at the sky. "Especially when there is an incident like that before." Jinyoung said with a sad look on his face. "... It's all in the past, so I'm fine with it now." Mark said while he tapped on Jinyoung's shoulder.

  "Then, lets go home, you must have waited long for me." Mark and Jinyoung walked side by side while laughing listening to the funny stories that happened in the past or the one that happens today.

  Getting your attention is everything I want, sharing happy and sad stories, making jokes and laughing together, but I understood that it's not something easy to get, if the nicest way won't get you, then the dangerous way is the one that I'm going with. Can I get it even if it's little or just for a while, can I?
