a few days later " could you buy me ice cream after school? " Areum asked innocently, tugging at Mark's sleeve lightly.
" I have something to do today. "
" If you don't buy me ice cream, that means you don't love me anymore, " Areum crossed her arms in front of her and pouted in an attempt to look cute.
" i- fine " he sighed in defeat, dragging his feet to the cafeteria and plopping himself onto the seat next to y/n who had recovered the day before.
" hey mark, " she said softly, looking at the boy who had his back leaned against the wall beside him.
" hey... " he replied, not asking if she was feeling any better and closing his eyes.
Mark's dark hair fell over his eyes, lips parted slightly as he fell asleep against the cold hard wall of the school's cafeteria.
" Is he ok? " Y/n asked softly to the group who was busy chatting with one another.
" he's been a little more distant lately, maybe he's just tired, " vernon frowned, shrugging his shoulders before turning back to Gahyeon and helping her uncap a bottle of water.
y/n's eyes travelled to Mark, noticing how perfect his features were for the first time in months.
Is he hiding something?
she wondered to herself, knowing how well Mark was able to hide his feelings and thoughts from others.
･:*+ .｡.:*☆⁎⁺˳✧༚ " Mark~ " Areum whined out as she saw Mark paying no attention to her.
" Mark~ " she tried again, slightly louder this time but he still ignored her.
Mark was running low on patience. He was already mad at the fact that Areum forced him to buy her ice cream when he already had plans.
she was always inconsiderate, thinking that everything must go her way or she'll start throwing a tantrum.
" what? " he asked with slight annoyance in his voice.
" can i have this ice cream~~ "
He was already angry to begin with and her annoying voice just triggered him even more. Mark closed his eyes for a moment, letting his breath out slowly and reopening them, hoping to find himself back in the cafeteria or anywhere far from her.
He began questioning his feelings towards the girl in front of him. if he truly liked her, he surely wouldn't feel this way...
･:*+ .｡.:*☆⁎⁺˳✧༚ " I seriously have to go, " Mark said looking at his watch.
" ok don't stay out too late, " areum smiled, waving goodbye to Mark, " bye. "
Mark made his way to the nearby flower shop. looking through the different rows of flowers, Mark picked out a small bouquet of roses, remembering how much they liked them.
He paid for the flowers and left the store, hurrying to his destination.
The sky was painted pink and purple, with hardly any clouds in sight. Mark checked the time again and sighed. it was already 7.45pm but he had promised himself that he would arrive at 6pm but his plans failed because of
Park Areum.
He couldn't help but feel the annoyance building inside him whenever he thinks of that name. Nothing feels right when he's with her.
Deep down, he doesn't feel that Areum loves him. He shook the thoughts of her away as he arrived at his destination. A small sad smile playing at his lips.
