One Breath (OffGun)

5. U-turn

Mark POV

I just strolling this place, since I start to get bore doing nothing in my apartment.
It's holiday after freshmen event, before study time start next Monday.

Suddenly I see someone from far away.
I don't know how, but my body fast respon what my eyes see.
That petite boy wrap with black oversize hoodie wonder alone look here and there.
His ankle looks get better from the way he walk.

And I don't realize when or how, I suddenly run to him, when I see he stumble when he tried to avoid chart train which pass close to him.

I hold his upper body, and he graps my sweater in a second. I face him right in front of his face. His eyes become bigger as he startled, dunno about me suddenly appear in front of him, or because what's goin on before.

And for truth, I've never saw a pretty face like his.
His round eyes sparkle under the neon light. His pinky cheeks because he blushed. His fair skin. His cherry plump lips. His figure so cute, pretty, and makes you want more and more time to look at him.

What?
What am I thinking about?

I take a deep breath silenty to calm my heart.

"Are you okay?"

I put earphone and listened my favourite songs while I strolling this place. And maybe because I listened some upbeat song, I didn't realized that I start to dance a lil' bit while I still walk, and that some staffs push a long chart train, and I almost crash to them.

"Shiaaa...!!"
That startled me so much.. My feet can't stand steady because it still pain lil' bit after my ankle get twisted few days ago.
And I startled more because someone grap my arms from behand and hold my body for not fell down.

I think I die know. I can't feel my legs when I see his face close to me. I can see every part of his face right in front of me.

Dear God, am I in heaven know?

"Are you okay?"
His voice like come from far away.

I don't realize that I grab his sleeves to hold when I stumble a moment ago.

"I-I-I'm okay, Phi. Tha-thank you...."
I take a deep breath, and realizing that I "stop" breathing. So, I loose a deep sigh, and try to control my breath.

"I think you always fall when I'm around you, huh?" Phi Mark asked me. His tone hear a bit cold.

"I'm sorry, Phi....." I look down to my shoes.

"Please, don't cry for this time," he add.

I look at him. Disbeliefe about what I heard.

"Don't cry like the last time you fall on me."

What?

---------------------

Mark POV

"Don't cry like the last time you fall on me," I gaze to him.

I can't believe I said that to him.
But hey.. That's the real me, right? The real me, which I don't know that can't come out when I'm with him.

Yeah....
It feels so different when he's around me. His vibe so different if I compared to other people around me.

I don't really know him. But when I see him, my heart beat so fast, but I feel warm and calm at the same time. While the other always try to put on my nerve. And the biggest culprit of all is Finn.

"I'm so sorry, Phi...."
I hear he whisper while he look down to his shoes.

Oh my God.
He so cute when he do that.

I can't hold myself anymore. Then I hug him tight. His height isn't more than my shoulder.
I brush his hair, and I smell some choco-vanilla from his hair.

"Is that hurt?" I asked.

He shake his head.
"No, Phi. My ankle get better know."
He mumbles on my chest.

Uh....uh....
What am I doing know?

I think, I can't turn back from what I'm doing know. And don't have any reason to explain to him, or anyone.

And even just for a view second, I feel so warm when I hug him. His presence soothes me from tiredness, worry, anger, and every bad things in me.

Neil POV

I can't move my body when Phi Mark suddenly hugh me and brush my hair.
I burry my face on his chest, and answer him there when he ask about my ankle.

I feel save and warm in Phi Mark's arm. I feel some calmness that can reduce the beat of my heart.

It looks like right place for my head to lean on because he's taller than me. I just stand up, and I can find his shoulder.

I don't know what I feel lately when I look him around. I don't know what I feel now when Phi Mark hug me.
I just want the time stop and the moment like this will last forever.

Because I know, that there's someone waiting for Phi Mark.

Yeah... Ara told me, that Phi Mark has a girlfriend. Even they can't be seen together, but the truth is....

Phi Mark has been taken
