Marco Polo (Taehyun x Reader)

R

We hung out a lot after that. Especially during school hours. HueningKai was my only friend who hadn't graduated yet, but he was always busy with some extracurricular or something. I wasn't complaining though. It left me lots of time to hang out with (Y/N).

I still got lost easily. That would never change. But a short exchange with the words "Marco" and "Polo" and I'd be right back beside her, clutching her arm.

I had lots of classes with her too. We would sit beside each other and she would force me to focus. I hate to admit it, but she made my grades rise. She always told me to pay attention or do my homework and I wouldn't dare defy her, because she's the one who kept me from being lost and alone. If I defied her, one day she could just stop calling out Marco and I would be done for.

We would hang out often at an ice cream place. She would get a popsicle and I would get cherry ice cream. I remember vividly the time that we sat in the parlour, eating our ice cream in silence. It was nice. A comfortable silence. I wish I talked with her more, but I didn't. If I talked to her more, I could've fixed everything. Nothing would be like it is today. It'd all be different.
