"Mark?"

"Mhm?

"How do I look?"

"Terrible."

I rolls my eyes at the answer. Mark is still playing with his phone, putting the most annoying expression over his face. I'm asking his help to judging my appearance because I'm going to meet someone I know from a dating app. This is like my sixth time changing my clothes, but he is still complaining that I look ugly. Maybe his bad sight has been getting worse. I should bring him to a doctor tomorrow.

"You don't even look at me!"

"I remember enough."

"If you say so," I snort, "gotta go now. See you around dinner."

"I said you look terrible. Hear me?"

"Well, whatever," I chuckle, "take care. Don't make a mess."

Mark immediately gets up from his seat. He put his phone inside his pocket before facing me.

"What if he's a murderer?"

I startle but trying to keep my face straight. Not today, satan.

"No, he's not."

"What makes you so sure?"

"Can I go without you worrying much?"

Mark shakes his head.

"Okay, well," I ruffle my hair, "how about you follow me to the restaurant? But remember, don't be a such buzzkill later."

He nods happily.

"Don't prevent us from holding hands."

He frowns. 

"Promise me. Or no coming."

"But Jinyoung..." 

"No, promise me," I insist, "you scared the hell outta Bambam last time. I can't let you screw it again."

"No holding hands on your first meeting."

"It's not a kiss nor hug. Why not?"

Mark pouts, "still no."

"No coming then."

"Jinyoung!" Mark panicks, "okay, okay I promise. But only holding hands."

"Only holding hands," I nod, sealing the promise between us.

This time, I'm meeting a man named Kim Yugyeom. We've been chatting for about two months before deciding to meet each other today. I can't wait to see his live appearance. He looks so good on his display pictures and also on those selcas those he sent me. Just by remembering his face manages to make me happy and blushing at the same time. I hope he'll be here very soon.

I glance on Mark who is sitting not too far from me but on different seat. He waves his hand happily, making me automatically sigh in return. This is my second time meeting people from dating app and just he did like the last time, he follows me again. I don't know what's his actual purpose.

The first meeting didn't go very well because when Bambam was holding my hand, Mark immediately got up from his seat and pulled me away from the café. I was so mad that I didn't talk to him for days, but he didn't seem to care about it. I was so frustrated but I finally decided to let it go.

Suddenly a tall figure enters the restaurant. He is so damn handsome and I'm even more surprised when he sits across me, smiling in the most adorable way ever.

"Park Jinyoung, isn't it?"

"Ah, y-yes," I stammer at his sparkling beauty, "how do you know?"

"How do I know?" he asks while chuckling, "of course I know. You look exactly like those pics you sent me every night."

"Oh," I reply, "are you Kim Yugyeom by any chance? But your hair-"

"I changed its style before coming here," he explains while caressing it, "do you like it?"

My heart is almost bursting from my chest. How dare him flirting me like this?

"Y-yes," I answer, "y-you look very... Awesome?"

Stupid me.

"Thank you, I guess?" he laughs it off, "well, I'm even more surprised with you, Jinyoung. You look even more beautiful in real life."

"T-thank you."

"And you dress very well. I like that sweater you're wearing right now. It's brilliant."

Aha. It's confirmed. I should bring Mark to the doctor by tomorrow.

"I-I like your blazer as well."

"You keep stammering. Are you okay?" He tilts his head, caressing my cheek in worry.

"Never better," I reach his hand and put it down on the table.

I peek at Mark who's throwing a death glare to Yugyeom. Oh no, this is bad. But gratefully he isn't moving an inch. Maybe it was just a warning. We should be careful next time.

Talking to Yugyeom is heaven. He's gentle and asking me questions first so I don't feel bad for suddenly telling it. He cares about me very much and I feel like the most luckiest user in the dating app for getting a chance to meet a man like this. I definitely should keep in touch with Yugyeom after meeting him today. Judging from the way he treats me, I'm nearly sure he feels the same. He seems interested in me as well.

In the middle of our conversation, suddenly my phone rings. It's a call from Jackson. I try so hard not to roll my eyes before asking Yugyeom's permission to pick it up.

"Sorry, may I?"
