Mark's POV

I was laying on my bed, bored and not knowing what to do. I already played some songs on my guitar, I've been through social media, I had breakfast, I showered. What can I do now? I looked around to see if there's anything in my room that can keep me busy. "Mark, we're going grocery shopping. Is there anything you need?" Taeyong's head peaking out from behind the door. "Not really. Can I maybe come too?" I asked. "If you really want to, yes."

—

We walked around and got all the food and drinks we needed. "Can I get this? Please!" Haechan was holding a bag of candy. "No, we already have enough sweets. Put that back." Doyoung tells him. "Not fair, Mark got a watermelon." He pouts. "That's healthy!" I just laugh at the 2. "I'm never taking these 2 with me again." Taeyong sighs. "Good idea, do we need anything else?" I asked. "I think so, let's go pay and get out before they break anything here."

The cashier was really kind, she also had this sparkle in her eyes. And her smile was so cute. I didn't say much to her, I just looked a bit around. When we had eye contact I looked away with red cheeks. She must think I'm a weirdo. "Mark can you help me with carrying this bag." I looked at Taeyong and he gave me one of the many bags filled with groceries. "Have a nice day." The girl said when we paid and left the store.

"You look so red, what happened?" Haechan asks but he was still laughing. "Nothing." I answer. "Was it the cashier?" I looked down, hiding the blush. "Oh so it is! Not going to lie, she was cute. Why didn't you say anything to her?" I shrug my shoulders. "Do I need to say anything to her?" He nods. "How are you going to flirt if you don't talk?" I started laughing, nervously. "Flirting? Me? No, I don't know how."

"Then I guess it's time for you to talk with Johnny." I don't even want to know what they talk about when they're alone in their room. "No thanks, I don't need to flirt. I'll probably never see her again. It's no use." I tell him. "She works there, next time you might see her again. Never say never."

"Wait, where are the eggs?" Taeyong asks. "We didn't bought eggs." Doyoung answers. "But I thought I put them in the cart." Doyoung shook his head no. "You did not, we didn't get eggs." Taeyong sighs. "Can anyone go back to get eggs?" He asks. "Me and Mark will go!" Johnny said. "What? Where do you come from?" I asked looking at the taller one. "I'm everywhere Mark, let's go."

We sit in the car, it was pretty quiet until Johnny starts talking. "Haechan told me about some cute girl you like." I sigh and bit my lip. "I could've known it. I don't need your help okay." I tell Johnny. "Why not? Don't you want to talk with that girl?" I shook my head. "I'm fine, she probably thinks I'm strange." Johnny shook his head. "If you don't try to talk you'll never know."

—

"So like I said, just casually start talking about something simple. It's not hard, just go for it." I didn't want to do this, I'll just embarrass myself. I know it. But yet here we stand in front of her again. She looks at me and furrows. Is something wrong? There must be something on my face. "Weren't you here earlier with 3 other guys?" She asks. Johnny nudging me to answer. "Uh yes, that was me. We forgot to buy eggs so they send me back." My face must be so red right now, the thought is already embarrassing.

"With how many are you?" She chuckles. "We're with 9 in our apartment." Her eyes widened. "Ain't that much?" I chuckle and nod. "Sometimes it really can get much." I glare at Johnny, he just laughed. "Let's go now, Taeyong is waiting for his eggs." I look at Johnny then back at the girl. "But I'm talking with..." I trailed off, not knowing her name. "Y/n." She said, so a pretty name. "I'm talking with y/n." He shook his head. "She's working, if you really want to keep talking just exchange numbers." Oh I understand what he's doing and it's smooth.

—

"Now you got her number, are you happy?" Johnny said. "Thanks for helping." I thanked him. "Now text her and ask her out. That's even easier than making a first move." And he continues with the flirting tips. "Thanks that you helped me getting her number, but from now on I don't need help. I'll just see what happens." I tell him. "If you say so. You know where to find my room, if you change your mind and need my help anyway." I shook my head. "I'm fine."

—

I texted y/n, she didn't respond at first. She must be still working. When my phone buzzes I looked at the screen. It's her! An instant smile making its way on my face. Just ask her out, that's not difficult. But how? Where should I take her? I think for a while and changed the message a few times before sending it. Not much later she replies. "Oh my god!" I said a little too loud. "What is it? Did you get hurt?" I shook my head. "I have a date with y/n!" I smiled proudly but mostly excited.

—

I was at the park where we'd meet each other. I looked around, seeing if y/n's somewhere around. "Mark, hi!" Her cute smile, it makes me wanna squeeze her cheeks. But that would be weird, I should stay calm. "Y/n, I'm so happy to see you! Uh should we get coffee somewhere?" She nods and we walk next to each other. Can this be the beginning of something new?
