For sure, it is an interesting shopping experience for Alena. No, more like a wild shopping. She sigh as she saw Bambam and Jinyoung fighting over the color of her swings canopy

“For the last time hyung, her swings seats are white so we should add a little bit dark color in it. Black for the canopy” Bambam stated

“No, it’s white so it’s better if she also have white as the color of the canopy” Jinyoung argued back

“Black hyung. Believe in me” 

“As if, I believe you then 5 seconds later my shoes turn into the pink boots” Jinyoung scoffed

Bambam gasped in shock, “Don’t you dare hyung! I bought it with you and you said “oh bambam it’s so cute and you should buy it, tots your color” “ he mimicked Jinyoung’s voice

“That’s hideous and I don’t sound like that!” Then it proceed to tom&jerry chase

Alena shake his head amusingly then back choosing the hammocks. She sure want to put hammock at least 2 in the garden just because.. lol. She’s too concentrate she didn’t realized that there’s one particular person looking at her, thinking whether he should walk to her and talk or just keep silent. To be honest, Mark felt a little hurt when Alena didn’t ask any of his opinion. It’s either she ask Jinyoung or she ask Jaebum, who by the way is missing now along with the rest of GOT7. Mark shake his head, thinking that it’s their friends way to make both of them talk. 

“Hey Yugyeom, come here I want to measure this hammock with you height” Alena call for him but got no answer.

Weird. She thought and then turn around, only to find that she’s alone and there’s no sign of GOT7 around her. Great. I guess I got ditched again. She let out a sighed but then startled when she heard someone speak closely beside her

“Umm… I can help you” Alena turn around and there’s nervous Mark. Alena swear if she’s not in bad term with Mark, she’d totally take picture of this since it’s like something that’s so important. 

I never seen him get so nervous… Oh well, he can help me. He’s tall enough. She shrugged and nod at Mark to stand straight so she can measure it. She’s too busy with the measuring she didn’t even realized that Mark standing so stiff for over 5 minutes already.

“Oh sorry Mark, it’s just so hard whether I want to but this hammock that’s so long or just the one that’s suit you height. I don’t know” Alena stared stressfully at the 2 hammocks. 

Mark can’t contain his chuckle when he saw how stressful Alena look when it come to these simple things, like choosing the length of the hammocks. He noticed that when Alena is stressful but concentrate, she’d bit her lip and rub her hands. Cute. Mark thought as he saw that she’s doing it again.

“… is it conventional?… this one just too cute… Okay this one but with this length?…” Alena keep mumbling that Mark can’t handle it he immediately grab the hammock that he think it’ll suits Alena and go to the sales boy

“Pack this up. Fast” the boy nodded immediately and ran like his depends on it

Alena shocked at what Mark did. Mark is walking to another section because he wants this shopping thing finish quickly.

“Hey! You can’t do that!” Alena grab Mark’s arm and turn him around

“I’m not done with the hammocks! I need to pick the most suited one for my backyard and garden” 

Mark cursed under his breath, “You don’t need 2 hours to pick hammocks and trust me the one that’s being pack up is suited already” he then turn around

Alena stomp her feet in annoyed way. Just who does he think he is?! 

“C’mon let’s search for your pool necessities. I’ll help” he said without turning his back

— 20 minutes later —

“This is the one that I want!!!” 

“Yeah but it’s not that cool for your pool, that’s why I told you to just pick this” Mark hold up the swan floats

“Who are you to tell me whether it’s cool or not for MY pool” Alena glared at the boy in front of her

They’ve been arguing back and forth over the smallest things. Mark choose something that will suited the most but Alena rejected it and when Alena choose something, Mark rejected it immediately without looking back.

“C’mon just agree with me on this one so we can finish this fast” 

Alena pouted, “But but… I still love this one” 

Mark rub his face in frustration. Honestly, the things they’ve been arguing over are the stupid and small things. Like choosing the floats. 

“Fine fine! Why don’t we buy both of them okay?! Your pool is bigger than mine right?! SO YES WE’LL TAKE THIS BOTH” He grab both floats and told someone to pack it up fast.

Alena stood there stunned at what’s just happen in front of her. She watch as Mark walk away from the store after he threw his card to the cashier and just walk out without taking his card back.

“I’m sorry.. I think he’s just frustrated” Alena came over to the cashier and took his card back. She then pull out her card to pay but the cashier rejected it

“I’m sorry Miss but the boy said to rang all up with his card, so it’s already being paid” 

Alena choked up over the word “it’s already being paid”

“Come again…?”

“Um.. Your things have already being paid Miss…” 

Alena took a deep breath. She really didn’t get it what’s wrong with that boy and why would he do that? Lots of what’s and why’s running through Alena’s mind. She just shook it off and say thank you to the cashier and push her shopping cart that contains small stuffs that she can bring home immediately. The rest will be ship to her house in 2 days.

“For the record, he’s a great boyfriend-fianceè miss! I’m sure you both will have lovely home” the cashier give her a good thumbs up before returning back to her job
