Win Your Heart ( Mark / Mina )

WYH10

3rd Person POV

Mina woke up in a flash after hearing the first note of her alarm. Today's the day. It's D-Day for the competition and she can't be any more nervous right now. Mina grabbed her clothes and went straight to the bathroom, greeting Ms. Kim along the way.

After their morning routine, the four of them went down to have breakfast. The dining hall was filled with students and teachers from different countries, some of them were even reading while they're eating.

She felt a lurch in her stomach and immediately sat down when they reached their table. She couldn't look at any of the people inside. Mina was swimming in her thoughts usually around how she should do better later and how can she increase her knowledge for later.

Little did she know, Mark was observing her intently, he knew she was nervous for later that's why he got her food for her seeing she's distracted right now.

"Hey, eat up," Mark said as he placed the plate in front of her.

Mina snapped out of her thoughts and gave him a thankful smile. The both of them are in silence, Mina started to eat two spoonfuls of her breakfast but stop when a surge of nervousness came through her.

She felt her heart starting to increase it's beating, making her unable to eat more but instead was just playing with her food.

"Hey..." A soft voice called to her. She faced the voice which belongs to Mark who was staring at her, concerned.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked taking her hands in his.

"Do you think I should get my book? So we could read more? " Mina asked rapidly starting to get up from her seat when Mark pulled her back down.

He sighed, "Yes, we should read more but what's important is that you eat your breakfast first okay?"

"But look at them." Mina pointed to the other students in the room who were reading or practicing while eating.

"Mina, look at me."

She did, Mark was staring straight into her eyes, making her feel warm and flushed.

"You don't need to be like them okay? I know why you're acting this way, and no matter what you think, You are going to do well okay? We are going to ace this contest. Do you believe me?"

Mina was quiet, finding no words to reply to him but nodded instead.

"Okay, now you have to eat first, we can't have you to pass out later, can't we?"

Mina agreed and started eating her food, while Mark smiles at her warmly.
