Making friends with the friend's friend | 9

Yeri and Mark walk towards the ICE CAPPE and stop at the door. Mark opens the door for Yeri and smiles. "After you," Mark insists. Yeri smiles back and exclaims, "Thanks!" Yeri walks to the cashier and looks at the menu above her.

"Welcome to the ICE CAPPE miss, how can I help you?" the cashier asks.

"Hi uh, can I get an iced tea please?" Yeri answers.

"Sure thing! And what about you sir?" the cashier asks to Mark who is still looking at the menu.

"Mark L.E.E!" Yeri shouts to Mark as he looks at the cashier.

"Sorry! I'll have the strawberry lemonade! Um.. please," Mark responds shyly.

The cashier writes the order and exclaims, "Okay! Your total will be $7!"

Mark opens his wallet and hands his money to the cashier. The cashier grabs the money and places it into the cash register and smiles, "Thank you! You're order will be ready in a few minutes!"

Mark nods and walks with Yeri to a nearby table.

Yeri smirks at Mark who is trying not to look at her and smiles, "Thanks for buying our drinks!"

Mark, startled responds, "Your welcome! Sorry about my shyness. It's just I do this whenever I see a cute girl I like and-"

Mark stops and looks at Yeri, who is shyly smiling at him and replies, "Don't worry about it. I do that when I see cute guys too."

Yeri playfully laughs and looks out at the window. She sees Jaehyun driving a car with Rose and drives away from the ICE CAPPE in the distance. Yeri's smile turns to a frown and sighs. Mark looks at Yeri, concerned and asks, "What's wrong?"

Yeri shakes her head and answers, "It's nothing. I don't want to ruin your day."

"No, it's ok. You can tell me, " Mark pleads to Yeri.

Yeri sighs again and replies, "Well, I have this mega huge crush on Jaehyun who is also my best friend along with Tzuyu and I wanted to confess to him today."

Mark nods as Yeri continues, "...and when I wanted to tell him he had something to tell me also. So like the kind friend I am I let him go first. Which led me being heartbroken as he told me he is dating Rose which is not a shocker like, why would anyone date me?"

Yeri stops and looks down at the ground for a second and looks back at Mark.

"I just wish I could take my mind off him..." Yeri glumly finishes.

Mark stares at Yeri sadly and hears the cashier call his order number.

"Order 23!" yelled the cashier.

Mark grabs the drinks and hands the iced tea to Yeri.

Mark smiles at Yeri and asks, "Hey, how about we hang out to keep your mind off Jaehyun?"

Yeri looks up at Mark and replies, "You would do that for me?"

Mark nods and smiles, "Well I am new to this town aren't I?"

Yeri shakes her head and smiles, "You're new?"

Mark nods proudly. Yeri cheeses and asks, "What school are you going to attend?"

Mark shakes his head and answers, "I dunno."

Yeri playfully grabs his arm and her drink and walks to the exit of the ICE CAPPE.

Yeri then exclaims while dragging Mark, "How about this? I'll enroll you to my school!"

Mark smiles and responds, "Sure! Sounds like a good idea to me!"

Mark and Yeri look away from each other and secretly smile shyly to one another.

Mark stares at Yeri and exclaims, "Well, I'll see you in the morning!"

Yeri stares back and replies, "Yeah, see you!"

Mark and Yeri wave bye to each other and head to their cars till the next day....
