NCT's Girl Squad

Unexpected Meetup [LMH]: Chapter 24

Rix

Mark was singing in front. With his guitar all by himself.

Seasons come and go

But the hurt it still shows

And I just want you to know

Then he looked at me. Sincerity in his eyes as he sang the chorus. All of my emotions went back as memories started to show in my mind. From the day we bumped at each other to the day we started dating.

Time slowed down as he held my eyes to him. Everything fades except for him on the stage and me watching him. This might triggers the fans if he keeps his gaze on me.

And all I want is to let go

I tried a million times before

But I just can't figure out

Why I can't get over you

He sang as if he was sending me a message that he still, just maybe, likes me and I'm not just hallucinating or something.

The song went on. Emotions were shown as he sang the song for me.

Not even a million teardrops

Can't get me over you

And even if I try to smile

I cry 'cause I miss you

Not even a million questions

Can ask why I need you

And even if I try to find

The answer is still you

Singing with his whole heart, I felt awe. He sang a song that really shows his emotions and talent well.

Not realizing that the song ended, I stood there still reminiscing the memories until someone tapped my shoulder. I looked behind to see Jungwoo handing me a bouquet of red and lavender roses. "Go up the stage. Your boyfriend is waiting." He said.

I looked back to confirm what he said to see Mark was looking at me as Haechan gave him a mic. "Everyone. Thank you for coming and supporting me in this serenade that I'm doing. From my manager to my members. To my friends and to all NCTzens who came here to support me. Thank you." He said as he looked at the crowd behind me.

"This serenade isn't just for you guys, but to a person who has a special place in my heart."

My world stopped. What is he doing? Is he confessing to someone?

"This person really came into my life unexpectedly and I wouldn't expect how big the impact it would hit me when she said we're done." He started.

"And now. Here I am in front of her and to a thousand more people to say how much I love her." He said, then looked down to look at me. He then offered his hand to help me go on stage with him.

I stared at it for a second before looking at his eyes to see him waiting for me to accept his hand. Time yet again slowed down and faded away as soon as I touched his hand.

My heart stopped beating before it beat irregularly.

I'm now in front of people who love and support Mark and NCT.

"This person right here." Mark started. "Is the girl that I want to be with."

Some people gasped and some people continued on filming it on their phone. "Mark. What are you doing? This might ruin your job." I whispered at him as I tugged his wrist. Ignoring what I said, he continued. "This might affect almost everything related to my career, but I don't care. I might as well risk this just to make this person beside me feel comfortable and not hiding something." He said.

Then, he turned to look at me. "It looks like I'm proposing to you since I made this big." He said, removing his mic away from him, leaving us to talk where only us would hear. "I'm sorry. For not understanding your side makes us both in this situation." He started. "This might be on the news tomorrow and we might be in SM's office tomorrow, I don't care. But please, come back to me." He said.

I looked at him. He prepared all this just for me. The time and effort on how he prepared this might overlap with his and his members' schedule. Him still looking down, I touched his right cheek to get his attention before I connected my lips to his.

The crowd then cheered. Some left, some started crying. But for me, the world slowly faded again as the noise died down.

He then wrapped his arms around my waist as I did on his neck.

The kiss didn't go long as he leaned his forehead on mine. "Is that your answer?" He asked. "I risked my first for that." I giggled. He then smiled before reconnecting our lips.

I never felt this happy in my whole life.

Verivery, NCT 127 and my friends all went to the stage as the crowd went less. PD-nim with the staff also went to the stage. They all cheered as my friends went up to hug me. "That was a bold move, you got there, Rix. Imagine all Mark stans would come for you now." Julie said as we giggled.

"Yeah. And I wouldn't have thought Mark would pull that kind of a show." I said as I looked at Mark behind us to see him talking with his members. I smiled sincerely when he laughed with what one of his members said. "She's really whipped guys." Jean teased, thinking that I didn't hear it.

Right when she said that I looked at them to see them laughing, like they have this bubble that you can't pop, "I heard that." I said. They looked at me before laughing again.

"We'll leave first. We still have to bid farewells to the staff and Verivery." Leslie said as she pulled Jean and Julie away. I chuckled at them, also shaking my head, when I felt arms circle around my waist and a head on my shoulder.

I placed my hand above his, "Wish us luck for tomorrow." He sighed. I giggled, "Why did you do that if you know the consequences?" I asked. He removed his hand as I also turned around to look at him. His hand on mine.

"I don't want to hide anymore." Looking up, he looked at me, "I want to risk it with you, Rix." He said. I smiled, failing to hold my tears. He then removed his hands on mine as he went to caress me and wipe my tear stained face. "I also want to risk it with you, Mark." I finally said.

He then gave me a hug, kissing my temple.

I really am risking this with him.

So... Mark and Rix just kissed...

I'm sorry if I made it light, but I know your imagination is quite "creative" to even imagine how it is...

And also, the song 'Can't Get Over You' by Harana was really from Rix herself. I asked her if Mark would serenade her, what song would it be, and she said that song.

She really did a lil' research and I also like the song, because it feels like it suits Mark... Go listen to it.

Bye-bye~

P.S. Shout out to her for her song selection
