Win Your Heart ( Mark / Mina )

WYH8

3rd Person POV

As the sun sets, Mark and Mina noticed that more people are gathering on the beach. Couples, family, and friends are all over the shore, waiting for something they didn't know.

"Do you know what's gonna happen, Mark?" Mina asked, completely curious about what's about to happen.

Mark was about to answer no, but then a couple of fireworks started to light up the dark sky.

Both of them stayed silent, you can only hear their oohs and aahs from the fireworks.

Mark moved closer to Mina because people are starting to crowd closer to their place. His breath hitched at the sudden contact he felt. Mina was laying her head on his shoulders, her face was again inches from him and he can't help but stare at the fireworks dancing on her eyes.

He stared at her for as long as he can without Mina noticing but she did. Mina stared back at Mark, their eyes memorizing each other. Mina was sure Mark was getting closer and closer or was she the one moving. 5 cm turned to 4 cm to 3 and then...

"Woooh!! Beautiful!!" The whole audience clapped and cheered as the fireworks ended, just like how their moment ended too.

Both of them stood up, not looking at each other.

"This keeps on happening, why does it have to be interrupted?" Mina whispered to herself, then she paused.

'I want it to continue? Aish Mina!! Get yourself together'

Her inner turmoil was broken by Mark who was waiting for her to finish fixing herself.

"Let's go home?"

"Yes, let's go "

Mark was disappointed too, they almost kissed but thinking about the consequences after, he was kinda glad it didn't happen.

They walked under the street lights, near the booths, only stopping to get something to eat for dinner.

The drive home was relaxing, Mina thought. As she took her seat in his cushioned car seat, she felt her body hummed. With only the stereo of his car making noise, she was able to fall asleep.

Mark looked at her sleeping form and smiled, she looked the same as how she slept earlier, peaceful. It's like her worries disappear every time she's asleep and how he wished her worries disappear permanently.

In no time, they arrived in front of her house. He shook her gently, waking her up in an instant.

"We're here Mina." Mark went out of the car to assist her and say goodbye.
