*Mark POV*

It had been about 2 weeks since I had seen Rosé, we talked all the time on the phone, texted when we couldn't talk. We couldn't see each other due to our busy schedules. Her group had a couple of photoshoots in Japan that would come out later this year and we were slowly preparing for a comeback. I say slowly because Jackson was still promoting his single in China but since he learns dances fast the rest of us decided to learn the dances beforehand, I didn't worry because Jackson would have a couple of weeks for a little vacation before we started promoting new songs

The group scheduled to meet to learn the choreography so I waited in the practice room since I was the first to arrive. I heard the door and I saw Bam Bam. Perfect! I was struggling with some moves so I asked him to help while the other arrived

It was kinda awkward though, he’s been acting strange ever since we went on the double date. He would mostly avoid me or give me a 1 or 2 worded answer to anything I asked

We were there practicing until I accidently tripped and fell on him. On the floor, I said sorry while his eyes were wide with what I guess had to do with how I close to him I was. I guessed that because his ears kinda got red too. I'm guessing because of embarrassment?

Right then the rest of the group showed up laughing, then saw us. Jaebum held in his laugh and said “Mark I thought you were dating Rosé not Bam Bam”. They all started laughing and teasing us

I quickly got up “Sorry Bam, I lost my footing”. I thought I saw him blushing before I helped him up 

“No problem” he said. Him with his short answers are starting to bother me 

We practiced and the dance session was over. I almost left my phone but luckily Bam Bam noticed that the screen was lit and gave it to me. We were all heading out and I realized I got a text from Rosé.

Rosé: -Mark oppa! I’ll be in Korea in about a week, you have any plans?

Mark: -Just finished rehearsing, I’ll tell you if we can hang out someday when I the rest of my schedule

Rosé: -ok, maybe we can hang out...alone?

Mark: -sure, anything you want. My treat ✌

God I felt cheesy, why did I send that emoji. I need to get better at this flirting thing

I got another text. I was surprised to see it was from Jackson. He’s been so busy with his schedule, we haven't talked in awhile

Jackson: -MARK, BRUUH. I ended my promotions and I’m finally going back to Korea tomorrow!

Mark: -DUUUDE thats great! I hope everything went well over there, tell me all about when you get here k bro

Jackson: -k dude, I gotta pack up so I’ll talk tomorrow

Great! I'm gonna see my best friend and hopefully my crush in the same week!

*later that night*
We all got to the house and I told Rosé I was free when we talked on the phone, Bam passed next to me looking at me like I did something to him “...Rosé I’ll call you back”. I couldn't handle it anymore. All the short answers, the staring, I had to talk to Bam to see what was wrong. Maybe he was mad since I basically ignored him and Lisa on our double date. Maybe something went wrong with Lisa and he blamed me

I got up from the couch almost running to stop him from shutting his door, I caught the door just in time

“Bam we need to talk”

He didn't even look at me and said “No thanks”

I pushed the door and shut it behind me

“Why have you been acting weird around me? I didn't even do anything to you”

“I don't know what you're talking about”

“Stop it Bam. The short answers, the glares, trying to avoid me! You know exactly what I’m talking about and I’m sick of it. I didn’t even do anything to you! If something went wrong with Lisa I’m sorry if I did something to cause that but other than that I did nothing”

After all this time he finally looked at me in the eyes and said “Lisa? You really think this is about Lisa?”

“Why else would you be mad at me?!”

He sighed as if chosen his words carefully, “It's because of her.”

“Lisa? Look I'm sorr-..”

He lost his composer “Forget about Lisa ok! She’s like a sister to me and that will never change, the problem is Rosé!”

‘...problem?’ He said that as if he was holding it in ever since we went out

“...why is she a problem?”

“She’s not…”

‘if she’s not the problem then-...’ he cut my train of thought

“...The problem is that you like her!”
