Mark and I walked back to where he parked his motorbike, I looked at Mark and a smile formed on my face, “what is it?” Mark asked looking ahead. My eyes widen, I didn’t know that he noticed me staring. “Uh, I was just thinking back to what you did to me earlier. I really didn’t believe that you would come… but you did, and I’m thankful” I thanked him quietly.

Mark arched a brow at me before smirking, “yah. Are you in love with me now? You think that I was your knight in shining armour right? Well, what can I do? My coolness is just too much right?” I rolled my eyes and punched his arm lightly, “knight in shining armour my ”

 Mark let out a small laugh and so did I.

 “Why did you park your bike all the way here?” I asked as we finally arrived in front of his bike. “It’s a motorbike, it will be noisy, and I thought if I drove it around while looking for you the old hags will hear. So it was for the better” Mark answered as he grabbed a helmet and threw it at me.

 “Oh right”

 “Hmm, now hurry. I’m tired, I wanna go home”

Mark slung one leg to the other side of the bike and put on his helmet. I put on the helmet and sat behind him. I noticed I still had his jacket and tried to give it back to him but he refused and told me to keep it. “I don’t need it, the rain finally stopped anyway. Keep it, wash it and give it back to me tomorrow” Mark started the bike and I just shrugged my shoulders and decided to keep the jacket.

 I grabbed his shirt, using it for safety. “What are you doing?” Mark looked back at me. “Holding on...” I looked up at him innocently. Mark rolled his eyes and grabbed my arm and placed it around his torso but I pulled it back, “what are you doing?!” I asked, “More like what are you doing. Hold on properly” I shook my head and just grabbed onto his shirt, which I noticed, was drenched from the rain.

‘Isn’t he cold? Wait, why do I care?’

“You don’t want to?” Mark scoffed and just turned to focus on the bike. He suddenly started the bike with full speed which caught me off guard. “KYAAAAA~!!” I squealed as my arms flew to his torso. “Thought so” I heard Mark chuckled.

As we drove through Seoul, I noticed how beautiful the city lights were. There weren’t many cars which made the ride enjoyable. The rain has stop but the wind was no joke. I remembered Mark’s drenched shirt and I started to worry unknowingly. To be honest, I never expected he could be such a gentleman, I never knew that he would actually help me, I was thankful of him, honestly.

I noticed our positions and I saw a woman drove past us; she gave me smile over her car window and sent me a small heart. I realised she was talking about me and Mark and a blush instantly crept up my cheeks. I cleared my throat and tore of my arms off his torso and went back to just holding his shirt.

 Mark looked back at me for a quick second before focusing on driving, “what the hell are you doing? I already told you hold on properly. Do you wanna die?”

 “No, it feels weird”

“Feels weird? Huh… arraso”

 Mark then suddenly drove in a zig-zag mode, tipping the bike ever so slightly. “Oh my gosh, stop it!” I shrieked. “If you hold on properly I’ll stop” Mark tipped the bike lower than he did before, and I decided that it was enough. “Fine fine!” I encircled my arm around him and Mark started to drive properly. I felt his hand on my wrist and he made my hold tighter, “better” he said afterwards.

The sound of the alarm blasted through the room and I slammed it off with a tired groan. I barely had any sleep last night since we arrive past 4 in the morning. I dragged myself off the bed and to the bathroom to wash-up. I didn’t feel like going to school and decided to ask Mark if we was going. “If he doesn’t go then I won’t as well” I told myself.

After knocking on the door thrice, there was still no answer so I decided to let myself in. “I’m going in, arraso?” I opened the door and I saw Mark getting off the bed.

“Good morning. You’re probably tired as well, right?” I sent him a small smile but all I got back was a cold shoulder. “I’m going to school if that’s what you want to know” Mark told me. My nose scrunched up and I made a face at him but then my expression softened as I noticed the sound of his voice. It was groggy and he sounded sick.

“gwenchana?” I rushed in front of Mark, blocking the door to his en-suite. “Hmm” he nodded at me slowly before pushing me to the side. “You seem sick. Don’t go to school if you are” I told him. Mark let out a sigh and twisted his body to me. “I’m… aigoo!” Mark’s body started to swing to the side and I tried to help him steady himself, but I was pulled to the ground on top of him.

“Again?” Mark let out a faint chuckle. I rolled his eyes, “I tried to help you but instead I was pulled down to the ground by you” I looked at his face and saw dark circles under his eyes and now that I look closely he looked a little bit pale and his lips were turning purple. I can feel him slightly shiver under me and I began to get worried.

“Yah… are you sure you’re okay? Mark shook his head, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry” he croaked right before coughing heavily. My hands brush his bangs to the side and I felt his forehead which was burning hot, I instantly pulled my hand back since it felt like I just touch an iron.

“You’re burning hot…” I muttered.

 “I know I’m hot. Aish jinjja, are you finally falling for my charms?”

“Are you saying that you were trying to make me fall for your charms?” I shot a comeback at him which left him speechless. “W-What? Who said I was... I never... Aish, you’re doing my head in” Mark pushed me off him.

 “It’s not time to argue, get up and go back to bed. You’re sick, you’re not going anywhere today” I stood up and offered my hand. Mark looked at my hand and slapped it away and decided to get up on his own, “I already told you, I’m fine. Sheesh, how persistent are you?”

“How stubborn are you? Look, I’m trying to help you for once so be thankful and just zip your mouth and listen to me. You are not going anywhere today. You are sick Mark, end of.” I crossed my arms. Mark was about to speak when he started to clasped his head in pain.

“Argh… it hurts so much”

 I sighed and grabbed his arms and led him back to his bed, surprisingly he let me. “Stay here. I’m going to cook you rice porridge then you have to take your medicine” Mark looked away but nodded. I helped him pull the duvet to his chin and helped him get warm before walking out to the kitchen.

I watched Mark sleeping, but he seemed to have trouble to get comfortable. He would say he is hot then he would be too cold. It annoyed me but I have to be honest, I was worried but mostly guilty. Since he fought the men from last night with just a shirt on while it was raining and he drove through Seoul with a soaked shirt while the wind was so strong.

I already fed Mark dinner which was the hardest thing I ever did in my whole life. He accused that I poisoned the porridge so I had to try it first before he could eat it, tsk. What a rascal. But luckily it wasn’t much of a trouble to make him drink medicine.

Bambam texted me earlier and I explained why we weren’t at school, he told me that only half of Got7 and 6Mix members came to school because of the drinking last night. Bambam also told me that Mark’s body was very weak and that he gets sick very easily, well that explained everything.

I took of the towel off his forehead and dipped it in ice water once again, I drained out the excess water off the towel before putting back on Mark forehead. I would do this every 30 minutes or so and I would check his temperature, luckily it was going down bit by bit. It was already past noon and I felt so tired and was close to sleeping but I stopped myself.

“c-c-cold” Mark mumbled out loud. I quickly stood up from the chair that I placed beside his bed and tucked in the duvet closer to his body. “s-still c-c-cold” I went out to get extra blanket off the cupboard and put it over him.

 Mark was quiet for an hour before I noticed a tear escaped from his eye and he started to mumble words I couldn’t figure out. But the more I listen to it closely the words sound like he was begging someone to stay with him.

“Kajima…”

I heard him whimper as more tears came out. I shook his body softly as I started to worry, “Mark… are you alright?” I asked gently. Mark’s brows knitted together and he started to let out a small sob. “Sara…” he whispered, “kajima”

I held in my breath, he was having a bad dream, no more like a flashback… of his past maybe?

 I shook him more and my heart nearly exploded from shock when his hand grabbed my wrist, “Sara…” he brang my hand to his face and he started to mutter more words. I tore of my hand from him, “yah. It’s Yoojin” I told him.

 Mark’s eyes slowly opened and our eyes met, I tore my eyes away from him as I suddenly felt awkward. Mark looked confused and touched his cheeks where his tears slid down. “You were crying” I told him. “Ah… really?” I nodded at him, I looked down to the hand that he took and I rubbed it slowly, “w-who’s Sara?”

 Mark looked at me in shock; I was also surprised that I asked that. “Um… you don’t have to answer that. Mianhe, I shouldn’t interfere with your personal life” I apologised quickly and stood up.

“I’m going to make you food so you can drink your medicine again. Just stay here and rest okay?” I rushed outside the room and suddenly felt embarrassed from asking that. 

“Pabo” I face-palmed myself as I walked to the kitchen but then Bambam came out of nowhere, “Jinnie!” Bambam rushed towards me. “Oh, hey. What are you doing here?” I asked him.

 “To visit of course. Is Mark alright? He’s in his room right?”

 “Yeah, he is in the room and he is getting better, he just needs lots of rest and to take his medicine”

“Ah... is that so. So you took care of him right? Omo, I’m jealous of you friend” Bambam pouted, I scoffed and nudge him. “Want to help me make him lunch?” Bambam nodded his head and entwined his hand through mine and we both walked to the kitchen. I looked at our hand and looked back at Bambam, why did it feel so weird?

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

I groaned as I stood up from the couch. It was already the next day and Mark’s fever was gone. He sat down next to me and handed me a cup of tea.

 “Gomawo” I gave him a small smile. “Ani. I should be the one saying thank you. You stayed up all night just to make sure I was fine, you stayed by my side the whole night and you didn’t get any sleep. I’m really thankful”

 I looked at Mark, surprised. “What did you say? Was that just sincere thank you from you? omona, repeat everything again. I wasn’t paying attention” I leaned closer to him. “I said that I was thankful of what you did for me yesterday, I appreciate it” Mark looked away from me while speaking.

 “What was that? Again again” I joked and leaned in closer.

Mark pushed me away, “tch, I’m not going to repeat it again. It’s not my fault you didn’t hear it” I nudged him, “I heard the first time. It feels nice to hear you say thank you” I took a sip of the tea and Mark did the same to his. “Well, it was your fault that I got sick in the first place, shouldn’t you say something?” “Yeah yeah, it was my fault. Sorry about that” I put out a peace sign and Mark just scoffed at it.

“Mark… I was very thankful of what you did to me that night. I was really scared of what they were going to me; I honestly didn’t think you would actually come. But you did, you even beat them up which was very cool”

“yeah, well you treated me last night so I guess were even. But I was very cool when I was fighting right?” Mark wiggled his brows, I laughed, “yes you were. Jjang!” I gave him a thumbs up. Mark leaned back to the couch and sighed happily.

 “I never knew there would be a time where we would say thanks to each other sincerely, or even complement each other, but here we are, chatting casually to each other” I looked at him and started to noticed it as well, “your right. Daebak” I chuckled.

 Mark stood up and put his cup on the table. “Well that was for today. Don’t expect it to happen again. Wash my cup and clean the house as well. I’m going up to my room. Oh, can you get your crap out of my room as well? Kay, thanks” Mark walked out of the lounge room and to the staircase.

I let out a sigh, “well then, here we go again”

I was reading a manhwa that I found in the library of the house when the doorbell went. I walked out the library and Mark stuck his head out of his room.

“Did you invite anyone here?” Mark asked.

I shook my head, “of course not. What about you?” Mark shook his head and started to walked down the staircase.

 I got to the door first and Mark stood from afar, I opened the door and my jaw dropped to the floor. “Oh my frick…”

“Yoojin what are you doing here?!” the entire guest chorused.

“” Mark cursed silently as he walked beside me. “we’re dead” I whispered to him, “oh hell yeah. We’re in dip-” Mark whispered to me before facing the people that was watching us still confused.
