Just Knock On My Door || Mackie Empuerto x Reader

My Eyes Wide Open

Y/N's POV

I smiled to myself as I exited the concert hall. The concert was amazing. The boys seemed so passionate about their singing. It really was inspiring. I was about to call one of them when I received a text message from Keifer.

Keifer: Meet me behind the balcony seats in 15 minutes. I have something to tell you. I'll be waiting for you, my princess.

Hm, what could this be about? Why the heck did he call me 'his' princess? I'm not his.

I brushed off the unsettling feeling and thought about it.

Keifer probably just wants to meet up so he can take me to Francis and Mackie.

It took me a few minutes to find the balcony seats, but I sat down behind them and waited for Keifer. I felt a vibration coming form my back pocket and pulled it out to look at the notification.

A text from Mackie.

My heart raced a little but deflated again when I remembered that he didn't like me. I clicked on the notification and opened up the new text message.

Mackie : Hey Y/N, where are you? I've been looking for you but couldn't find you. I'm supposed to take you to the after party remember? Well, just text me back so I know you're safe ((:

I smiled at his concern and immediately sent my reply.

Y/N: I think Keifer's coming to get me. He sent me a text right after the show saying he had something to tell me, so I'm waiting under the balcony seats. Anyway, you did so GOOD! You were the shining star I knew you were. I'll see you later, Keifer will probably bring me to the after party.

I put away my phone when I heard some rattling coming from in front of the balcony seats. A long haired boy appeared in front of me, flushed and breathing hard. I ran up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Keifer, are you okay? You didn't have to hurry here. You could've just taken your time, I only just got here," I tried to ease him.

I reached to tuck a loose hair strand away from his face, but he grabbed my wrist, making me gasp slightly. He looked up to me from his slouching stature, his face still red most likely from running.

Keifer stood to his full height, towering over me by an inch, and grabbing my other hand. We stood there, facing each other as his grip on my hands tightened. I looked at him skeptically when I opened my mouth to speak, but Keifer beat me to it.

"I got something really important to tell you, Y/N.  I want you to hear me out, okay?" He sounded almost desperate.

I nodded hesitantly but modded nonetheless.

"Y/N, I know we only met a while ago. But ever since I met you, you've always been on my mind and I can't stop thinking about you. I know you might have someone else on your mind but please give me a chance. I like you, Y/N! I really really really like you! Please, do me the honor, of being my girlfriend," He pleaded.

I stood there in awe of the boy in front of me. I would like to say that I was completely focused on him, but something else was on my mind.

Another boy.

Mackie.

Before I could say anything, Keifer's head fell into mine as he placed his lips onto mine. I stood there in shock, my eyes wide open.

I didn't feel anything. No fireworks. No bliss.

Not like with Mackie.

Refusing to kiss back, I placed my hands on Keifer's arms and pushed him away.

Mackie's POV

The color drained from my face when I read Y/N's text. All I knew know was that I had to run to the balcony. Because I know what he needs to tell her.

But I need to tell her the same thing.

My mind was clouded with thoughts and emotions that I didn't even notice someone standing in front of me until I bumped into them.

I collided with a loud 'OOMPH' and fell to the floor. I looked up in a hurry and squinted my eyes.

"What? Esang?"

A/N:

Hello hello!! This officially starts the new update schedule so please wait until September 18th!!

Mackie's Birthday is actually tomorrow and I'm really excited. He's turning 14 so if you can shower him with birthday wishes on Instagram or Twitter, etc.

Thank you so much for the support and love. I know some of you are impatient for updates but please bear with me.
