My Arranged Life Partner ✔

Chapter 12

Next morning~

Rosé woke up to find herself alone in the room. She checked the time and her eyes widened.

Oh no! I'm late!

There was also a note from Mark on the bed side table. She took and read it.

Good morning baby~
I'm sorry for leaving without you. You were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake you up. Don't worry about being late. Take your time! See you in the office!
Love you~
Mark

She crushed the paper rolling her eyes and threw it away and walked into her bathroom. Soon she got ready and left for the company.

Meanwhile~

Jackson and Mark were talking about the company when there was knock on the door. They looked up to see Yugyeom.

"Hey yuggie" Mark said. Yugyeom gave a small smile.

"Hi hyung" Yugyeom said slowly. The other two men furrowed their eyebrows. They knew something was wrong.

"Yah Yugyeom-ah, is everything alright?" Jackson asked. Yugyeom didn't reply.

"He asked you something Yuggie, answer us" Mark said.

"H-hyung, h-he came b-back from Canada" Yugyeom said. Jackson and Mark were shocked.

"What!" Mark stood up slamming his hand on the table making the other two flinch.

"How do you know?" Mark asked sternly.
"Lisa told me" Yugyeom replies and Mark sighed.

"Does Jinyoung know?" Jackson asked and Yugyeom nodded yes.

"Why didn't he tell me if he knew?!" Mark said loudly and immediately took his phone and rang Jinyoung's number. Jinyoung picked after the third ring.

"Hello hyung" Jinyoung said cheerfully.
"Why didn't you tell me Jinyoung-ah!" Mark yelled through the phone.

"Hyung, What are you talking about?" Jinyoung asked calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me that he was back?" Mark asked more calmly. He heard Jinyoung sigh on the other side.

"I wanted to tell you hyung, but I guess I'm late" Jinyoung said and Mark sighed.

"It's okay, just don't hide anything from me anymore" Mark said and Jinyoung replied with a small yes. Mark hung up.

"Does noona know about this?" Jackson asked and Mark tensed.

"S-she already s-saw him" Yugyeom stuttered and the other mens' eyes widened.

"What! How do you know!?" Mark yelled.

"Noona told me yesterday when she came out for coffee" Yugyeom said. Now it hit Mark, now he the knew the reason to why she cried that night. He sighed. Mark regretted not being alert.

"You guys can go and Jackson can you please call Bambam and Youngjae into my cabin as soon as possible?" He said and Jackson nodded. Mark gripped his hair and groaned in frustration. Just then he heard a small knock on his door.

"Come in" He said after composing himself. Bambam and Youngjae walked in with worry.

"Did you call us hyung?" Youngjae asked and Mark sighed.

"Guys I need your help" Mark said.

"Is everything alright hyung?" Bambam asked.

"He is back" Mark sighed. The other two men's eyes widened.

"What!" They both yelled in shock.

"Yes, and I want you both to tighten the security around the office and I want bodyguards around my house from today onwards. And last but not least, I want one of you to be with Rosé all the time. Don't disappoint me in this boys. I trust you both and I don't want any mistake. Got it?" Mark said and the boy nodded immediately.

"We won't let you down hyung" Youngjae said.

"You can trust us" Bambam said and Mark nodded and smiled. He patted their shoulders and they left, already speaking on the phones for extra security.

Mark sighed and sat down. He checked the time and it's already 10am and Rosé was not there yet. He was growing impatient so he gave her a call.

He started panicking when it went straight to voicemail after trying for the third time. He immediately messaged her. But there was no reply. He stood up and decided to check on her himself. He grabbed his coat and took a step towards the door when it opened revealing Rosé. Mark immediately went to her and pulled her into a hug and sighed in relief. Rosé froze right there. She didn't know what to do. Mark broke the hug and closed the door. He cupped her cheeks.

"Are you okay! You are not hurt right?! Why didn't you pick up my calls?! Why were you late?! Huh!" Mark asked in his worried tone and Rosé just looked at him confused.

"Yah! I'm okay! Why are you acting so weird? It was you who wrote in the note that I could take my time and also that I didn't have to worry for being late" she said and Mark sighed smiling. He pulled her closer and kissed her cheeks and forehead. Rosé froze, she felt butterflies in her stomach, she could feel her cheeks heating up.

"Y-yah, w-what are y-you doing?" She stuttered and Mark smirked. Before Mark could make a remark, she cut him off.

"Yah! From when is our house surrounded with bodyguards? And why did Bambam and Youngjae follow me till here?" She asked. His heart softened at her mentioning our house. He was proud of the two boys for being so quick to follow his orders. He knew he could rely on them.

"Nothing special, Dad wanted me to have security in our house. And why not do it when I have a beautiful wife to protect" he said and she melted at his words. She composed herself and walked towards her table pushing past him. Mark smiled and sat in his chair, relieved that his wife was safe.
