Win Your Heart ( Mark / Mina )

WYH5

3RD Person POV

He had enough. He can't take it anymore. If one more day passes and they don't make any progress, he's going to go crazy. She doesn't even see they're not making any progress!!

It's been 5 days since Mark and Mina started their mentoring but they had made no real progress since then. They've been reading their notes individually, answering quizzes given by their mentors, and having mock quiz bees as well, but Mark feels it isn't enough and so does Mr. Park.

"The both of you are doing great with reviewing and analyzing, but there's still something lacking from the both of you, and the books can't solve what's missing. You need to work together." Mark remembers Mr. Park saying that the day before and he agrees, completely.

He's trying everything to get through the walls Mina built but it's too strong. He knows how tired she is reading and reading the same thing again and again, and he is too. He needs to do something, they need to talk.

Mark stares at the girl in front of him, thinking of a way to approach her that won't make her push him away, again. He sighed.

"Let's do this." He cheered himself on.

"Mina, can we talk?"

Mina continued reading the textbook she holds, not paying him any attention.

"Mina, just for a minute, hear me out." He was getting annoyed, but calmed down.

"Mark, I'm reading, talk to me later."

"Mina, we really need to talk."

She finally faced him, "I already told you, later is it really that impor-"

Mina got cut off when Mark spoke, "I'm sorry."

Mina was speechless and confused.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted before and all the things I said that offended you, I know it's hard to accept after a lot of time, but we need to work together, we haven't done any progress, so can we please just settle all our differences and pride aside even if it's just for this month, and you know after this we'll get back to how we are."

Mina frowned, that was totally not the apology she expected. Though Mark is right, they need to work together.

She sighed, "Okay, I'll work with you from now on."

Mark smiled, "thank you so much."

"So, what are we supposed to do now?"

"How about we talk about our strengths and weaknesses, in that way we could help each other when one lacks in that area."
