AWW BYE 😔🥺

"who you texting?" mark shook his head to fix his slightly messy hair.
"just nayeon." chaesoo replied, looking into the distance.

he sighed as he wrapped his arms around her, gently swinging from left to right.
"you're just so perfect."
chaesoo chuckled, finding that compliment hard to believe.
"lies."

"no lie girl. i've never met anyone like you." she turned around to face him, meeting his relaxed facial expression.
"my heart is going to combust if you keep that up." she fake cried, hitting her forehead against his chest.

a smile crept up on her lips, feeling the vibrations of his chuckle. it's crazy how gradually they actually got together. there was really no need to ask if they wanted to date, they already knew it themselves.

chaesoo looked up, meeting mark's eyes. they sparkled, absolutely mesmerising. their little moment soon ended due to the sounds of the door opening.

he pouted and frown and instead gave her a small peck on the forehead.
"okay! i bought food!" haechan exclaimed, grinning widely with the bag of food in his hands.
"good, i'm hungry as hell." chaesoo left mark's embrace and skipped to haechan.

"do you plan on finding a job?" haechan questioned, shoving a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.
"yeah but i just don't know where i want to work, you know?" she sighed, extending her legs out and placing them on top of mark's.

"might just work for my family's company. there's one franchise in the u.s and one in korea." chaesoo continued.
"ooh, must be a big company." mark replied.

haechan looked into the distance as he thought about it, "chaesoo, what do you do as a hobby?" he asked.
she raised her eyebrows, "i don't really have one but i used to assist my aunty with making clothes."
"did you like doing that?"
"it was fun."
"then boom, an idea for you."

her mouth parted in shock, she did love clothes and making them was really fun for her.
"woah, you're amazing." she spoke in disbelief.
"i know i am. i get half the credit by the way." he snickered.

she slowly excluded herself from the conversation and thought about it. the idea of working for her parents was merely the last option, she just didn't know what to do but starting a clothing line wasn't a bad idea.

maybe she'll go down that path.

"hello? chae?" mark snapped his fingers in her face.
she left her thoughts behind and snapped back to reality, "yeah?"
"let's go back."

they all got up from the floor and parted ways, haechan going back to the dorms while mark escorted her back home.

"you sure you don't wanna stay?" chaesoo teased, giggling.
"i would but i have a packed schedule tomorrow." he sighed.
"aw so i'm not seeing you?"
"nup. sorry babe but i'll call you." he assured, giving her a peck on the forehead.

"okay goodnight!" chaesoo waved to him before entering the apartment. as soon as she shut the door, she pressed her back against it.

her heart was beating like crazy, it was a good thing no one was awake. she glanced at the loud ticking clock, 01:27 am.

"he called me babe." she mumbled, smiling to herself as she walked to her room.
