《 HAECHAN'S POV 》 ☁︎

Right now, I'm excitedly packing my things for the journey. I may be excited, but I'm still scared at some point. I can never predict what will happen out there...

"Hmmm...What else do I need?" I said to myself while scanning the room for anymore things to pack. "Maybe a flashlight can be handy, gotta be prepared." I said to myself yet again and looked for a flashlight at some drawers. While scanning some drawers, a figure barged in, slamming the door once he came in. Poor door, what did it do to get treated this way?

"What do you want Mark Lee?" I asked the said figure, glaring at him with my arms crossed.

"What's with the face?" Mark asked.

"Oh it's nothing, just packing and you slamming the door, yeah that's it" I said.

"Oh, by the way, journey is cancelled. We'll start the journey next week instead." Mark said in a calm manner.

"What?!" I screamed then ruffled my hair in frustration. My hardwork, is nothing, but a waste. "Why didin't you tell me earlier?!" I screamed again. How do people even stay calm at situations like this?

"I'm sorry cutie, something urgent came up and we can't start today. Please forgive me." Mark said with puppy eyes that's trying to provoke me. His cuteness is pretty much irresistible. Or should I say, Mark Lee is irresistible himself.

"Fine, but in one condition." I said, still having my arms crossed.

"And what is that?" Mark said with brows raised.

"Give me anything I want for a day" I calmly said.

Mark stood up straight and said with a 'British' accent "What do you want Sr. Haechan, I am happy to serve." then bowed after. No offense to Mark but, I found his accent pretty funny...and cute. I was trying my best to contain my laughter since I didin't wanna offend the person.

"I want a kiss." I said. Surprisingly, I didin't stutter at all.

Mark smiled widely and said "As you want, Sr.". He then leaned in, and I finally got the first thing I wanted.

Even though it was bittersweet.

【 . . . 】

All that's happening right now is just a simple walk outside. With of course, the one and only Mark Lee. I don't even know what to feel for him anymore. The fact that he is holding my hand and caresses it from time to time makes me feel warm, safe, and sound. He makes me forget all the problems I ever had in life. He makes me feel like nothing is wrong in this world...He's just, you know...talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever done before.

Oh my God, I sound so cringy right now. I should maybe stop thinking about Mark, but that is one hard thing to do, very hard indeed. I can't even spend the day without thinking about him.

Ah, Mark Lee and the things he does.

Maybe it is seriously time to snap out of my thoughts...

Snapping back to reality, all that is heard at the moment is nature. The sayings are actually correct, nature is beatiful indeed. The trees rustling, birds chirping, woodpeckers pecking, and even the sound of leaves every time they get stepped on. If only I could hear these peaceful sounds every single day...

"You want such simple things." the man beside me said, breaking the ice.

"I mean, at least its easy to handle. Do you want to have a hard time?" I said with a smirk planted on my face.
