Man Down (Markiplier x reader)

Chapter 26

As promised, Sean didn't go back to that meeting room. That means he left his assistant, Felix and Marzia there alone with people they don't know. Pretty evil for a CEO of a big company, but they weren't surprised. The three of them carried out with the meeting as planned, and surprisingly got the other party to abide to their wishes.

Meanwhile, crackhead Sean, sat in the driver's seat of his black Mercedes Benz while his assistant Alex sat in the passenger's seat. Sooyoung and I sat in the back. His lively chuckle filled the car as he started the engine while Sooyoung and I still contemplated how we got into this mess. I'm pretty Alex was as confused and scared as we since since he just got out of a meeting and has work to do. We were already inside the car, so our chance to escape was long past us. Now we have to eat chicken and drink beer with the boss just because he had the attention span of a walnut and couldn't stay at a meeting.

"Chicken and beer, here we come!" He laughed evilly and ran his place fingers through his dark brown hair. The three of us laughed awkwardly and we were off to the restaurant as the boss turned up the volume to the radio.

--

"Ahh Markimoo~" The boss cried as tossed himself into my arms, holding a peice of chicken in one hand and his fifth bottle of beer in the other. It was reaching 10 PM, and we finished our meal, but Sean.... he was in his own world. Alex left quarter to, saying "good luck" while his boss ordered another drink. Now we were stuck in a dimly lit restaurant with a crybaby who couldn't put down the bottle for the life of him.

"Why can't I get a lover? All my other siblings can but I can't?" He sniffled and looked at me with glossy puppy dog eyes. I only shrugged my shoulders, seeing how now would be an ideal time to go. Sooyoung and I already had our time to let loose and relax, we even took some pictures of the situation, but since it's getting a little late, we decided it was time to pack up.

"Let's go." I mouthed towards the woman who now had bright red cheeks from drinking two bottles. She nodded in agreement. I told her she can drink how much she liked because I volunteered to be the designated driver, but now, she looked more stunning than ever.

We didnt hesitate to ask for the bill, pay the amount owed, and get out of the restaurant all while Sean bawled his eyes out about how he's "the failure in his family". Sooyoung opened the door and I dragged him out of the establishment, covering his mouth while he whined.

"This is why I don't go out with you Sean..." I mumbled underneath my breath after I shoved the snot covered man into the back seat of his black car. The two of us entered and stayed in place for a few minutes before chuckling as we finally processed what just happened. For her first few weeks, Sooyoung has seen some shit, and best believe this is only the start.

"So this is what usually happens at company meetings." The woman in the passenger's seat brushed a peice of hair behind her ear, covering her mouth as she laughed.

"You have a lot to learn, Ms. Kim." I pulled out my phone and went onto Instagram to browse for a few seconds before we left. I then remembered that we took multiple pictures that would be nice to post. "Should I post the pictures we took?"

"Go for it." She smiled and my finger went straight to the upload button. I look through the picture one more time, and my eyes couldn't stop wondering to Sooyoung's figure everytime I chose a different picture. She always managed to look so elegant, even when we were making funny faces.

"Woah..." I mumbled out loud, and her head snapped towards my direction. I felt my face become hot, and my hands started to shake and I bit on my bottom lip.

"Something wrong?" I turned to face her and she had a very concerned look on her face. She scanned my body up and down and waited for me to talk.

"O-oh, um," I fumbled over my words like an idiot. "I was just looking at the pictures and I couldn't help but notice h-how beautifully you looked." I reached over to turn on the car light so I can see her better then ran my finger through my dark gelled hair.

"Ah, thank y-you." Ms. Kim avoided eye contact with me. "Like I said earlier, you look as handsome as always." C'mon Mark, you can do this. You have nothing to lose...

"Uh, listen Sooyoung," My anxiety went through the roof when my mouth started to talk without me knowing. I continued to fidget while my face turned a peachy colour. I couldn't go back now. "I-I don't know how to tell you this, but..."

"I kinda like y-you."

I spoke while looking down at my shaking hands. At this time, I was way too vulnerable and sensitive to even been in the same space as her, I wanted to go home and punch a hole into the wall or something.

"I r-really don't know how to say this but you're perfect. You're smart, you're pretty, confident, all the things that makes a person perfect, and I just-just..." My voice fell silent because I really didn't know what else to tell her. I felt like I was being too awkward and too childish, I didn't know if it was okay for me to rush it.

"It's okay if you don't l-like me back. I know I'm just a guy in a suit and tie with nothing else to offer you, but I seriously needed to get that off my chest and I felt that this was a good time. P-please don't look at me weird after this, Sooyoung..."

The woman across from me chuckled.

(oh wow, a cliffhanger? Havent done one of those in a while hehehe)
