Living Together?! | Mark Lee

Chapter 35

Your eyes close and a groan escapes your mouth as your head hands low. You're embarrassed at the sudden words that had exit your mouth. It was embarrassing to you and just so happened to slip out.

On the other hand, Mark stares down at you with those wide eyes of his. He can't help but smile to himself at your flustered appearance, only finding you even cuter in this situation.

He corners you in the closet. You don't know if you were feeling claustrophobic or if you were just panicking at how he was slowly starting to lean in again about to grant your request.

But before he could, the closest door opens and it draws both of your attention. You both relax to see the janitor standing there all flushed to wander upon you two in his closet.

He doesn't mind, seeing in the past thirty years of working in this school, he's seen plenty of couples in here.

"Sorry to interrupt, but c-can you pass me the broom?" He asks in a shaky voice.

Mark turns his focus off you for a second and turns around to reach behind him, grabbing the broom for the old man and giving it to him.

The old man bows lightly to thank him then closing the door behind him.

Now, his attention is back on you. You're feeling even more unsettling since the janitor basically caught you both in here, but it didn't seem to bother Mark.

You both haven't said a word yet and it was as if his eyes were doing all the talking. The way he peers down at you made you feel some type of way.

He leans in, placing a gentle kiss to your forehead to ease your tension. As much as you've told him in the past, he wanted to hear you say it again, but at the same time, he didn't wanna rush you. You sigh in relief as if you could read his body language.

And again, the closet door is opening, revealing the janitor again. He scratches the back of his head, pointing to the other corner of the closet. "I forgot the dustpan."

Mark huffs under his breath, passing him the dustpan. The janitor thanks him again, closing the door behind him to let you both continue.

You both look at each other, bursting into giggles. Mark exhales, pushing off of you to give you space and leans against the wall beside you. He licks his lips, hands rubbing anxiously up and down his sides. He looks over at you who seems to be just as timid as he was, fiddling with your fingers.

"Let's date."

His bold words ring in your ear and your heart jumps in your chest when you gaze over at him. The way he bit down on his lip anticipating your answer made you feel queasy.

You hum in consent, crossing your arms over your chest. Mark must have heard that because now he's grinning, slanting his head towards you so he can hear you better.

"Was that a yes?" He asks cockily and you tsk, rolling your eyes.

"It's a maybe."

He pins his hands on both sides of your head. His brow arches up at you as he nods and leans in until his nose brushes yours.

"We'll see about that."

"We're happy for you, aren't we Jungwoo?" Sana declares with a smile. You glance over at Jungwoo who was staring at you intensely as he stretches out his legs.

He doesn't answer and she nudges him in the side, causing him to hiss. He agrees, scooting a little bit towards you.

"As long as you don't forget about us," He states. "Well, mostly me."

Sana smacks him upside the head and he frowns, rubbing the back of his head while he sent a glare at her. She only rolls her eyes, focusing on her loose shoelaces.

"How's the sex?" He adds on.

"S-Sex?" You choke. "We legit started dating yesterday, we're not that far yet."

"Yet." He emphasizes.

"See, I like him, but–"

"It's his dick, isn't it?" He scoffs then laughs.  "As many girls I've seen approach him he must be freaking hu–"

You shut him up by throwing your towel at him. His eyes basically smile at you along with his lips. The giggles he releases only makes you roll your eyes.

Peeking up from her shoe, Sana looks over at the person sitting beside you. "What do you think, Yeri?"

You gaze over at Yeri and she smiles at you, her hand finding its way on your lap as she rests her head on your shoulder. She lets out a deep sigh and you can feel her smile still gracing her lips.

"As long as your happy." She says to you and you reply by gently patting at the side of her head.

Yes, you and Yeri are friends. About last month, Sana introduced you and Jungwoo to her and since then you became good friends. You both hang out, sometimes you spend the night at her house, but she's yet to spend the night at yours.

She's asked before but you always told her another time and she understands. Yeri is a sweet girl and not as talkative as Jungwoo and Sana.

Thank god.

You all like spending time with her, considering you don't know much about her.

She's pretty trustworthy.

"Y/N, you and Mark live together, right?" She suddenly says and all three of you land your attention on her. You nod, fiddling with the fabric of your shirt as you stare off blankly.

"Well, yeah," You puff. "It wasn't planned."

She was going to interrogate you further, but coach interrupts her. All four of you have been lazing around and your coach didn't seem to like that. He proposes that the four of you either run laps or fail his class and of course you all can't afford to fail.

"So, your place?" Jungwoo asks, lifting himself up from off the gym floor. After school, you invited them over to study, but knowing Jungwoo he wasn't going to.

"Yes." You answer, standing to your feet and reach a hand out to Yeri, offering to help her up. She accepts kindly, pushing herself up as you pull at her arm to help her stand.

Sana glances back at the both of you, sprinting towards you, her arms wrapping around both you and Yeri. "Yeri, you're welcome to join us if you want." She suggests and Yeri's eyes lit up.

"Will... Mark be there?" She questions reticently, pursing her lips.

"Well, yeah, he lives there." You chuckle.

"So, are you joining us or not?" Jungwoo adds on.

Her lips tug into a grin and she looks over at you all, nodding briefly.

"Gladly."
