2. The Bar!

“Can I come along?” Mark said nervously in English, every time when he is very nervous he would speak in English

Jinyoung stared at him silently and had a smirk on his face, he just nodded his head and went back to his earlier position, in front of his gang. Jinyoung isn’t very good at English, but he understands what Mark had said, his English wasn’t that bad. The others in the gang stared at Mark with a smirk as well, before following after their leader Park Jinyoung. Mark silently followed after, not even know where they were going. They came to an underground bar, and the guard just let them in, not even checking their age. Everyone bowed to them when they came in, seems like the gang had been there very often. It wasn’t very loud music, but the DJ was good if you ask Mark, it was his style of music. It wasn’t any other customers there except of the gang.

“Maybe Jinyoung own this bar, since his rich….” Mark thought before following the others to sit down at the couch around a small table and a man came and left some beer at their table, Mark felt nervous, not knowing what to do.

“Do you drink?” Jinyoung who was sitting across of Mark asked, staring at Mark while he offered him a beer and everyone took their own beer as well

“Thank you, but…” Mark hesitate to accept the beer, he didn’t know what to do, he never drank alcohol before since his underage and his parent are strict when it came to alcohol

“You never drank before?” Jinyoung asked with a smirk

Mark looked down, scared to hell. “Will they punch me because I don't drink?” Mark thought and held his breath. Jinyoung looked at the nervous Mark and it made him chuckle

“Haha, everyone has his first time, what about you try?” Jinyoung said with a smile, Mark looked up to Jinyoung who offered him a beer once again. To Mark, Jinyoung’s smile was beautiful, he has small dimples when he smiles and there were wrinkles under his eyes. His smile made him look like an angel and Mark thought of how Jinyoung would look like when he bullies people, when everyone called him a devil

“Thank you….” Mark mumbled and accepted the beer. He took a sip of it and bitter was the first thing he thought, it also showed in his face, made Jinyoung chuckle again

“Bitter?” Jinyoung asked with his angelic smile again, Mark doesn’t know why but he felt like Jinyoung could read his mind

“Yeah, a little….” Mark mumbled again shyly and it was then Mark got a message from his mom asking where he is. He quickly typed a reply, lied about he saw some friends from his new class and asked him to join them to hang out so he will be a bit late. It wasn’t a totally lie, but it was Mark who asked to join them instead

“Your girlfriend?” Jinyoung asked and stared at him, but this time, his angelic smile wasn’t there

“No…just some friend….” Mark lied, he didn’t want to tell them that it was his mother who asked where he is, he is scared of the gang would judge him being a baby boy and start to bully him.

“Are you single then Mark Tuan?” Jinyoung asked and his angelic smile was there again. Mark was surprised of Jinyoung remembering his name, not just his name, but also his surname.

“Yeah….” Mark said shyly while looking down, don’t want to have eye contact with Jinyoung

“Great…” Jinyoung said with a smirk and the other’s started to laugh made Mark a bit dumbfounded

“Since we know your name, shouldn’t you know our names as well?” Jinyoung asked made Mark surprise and nervous, because he don’t know any of the other’s name except Jinyoung

“You’re Jinyoung….” Mark said quietly and looked down, nervously playing with his fingers

“So you only know Jinyoung-hyung’s name?” One of the gang member asked and Mark slowly nodded his head

“I’m sor…sorry….” Mark stuttered because of nervousness and he felt like he’s going to lose his breath soon  

“No need to apologise, because you now the most important name in this world…” Jinyoung said with a smirk made Mark look up and stare at Jinyoung

“Self-centred….” Mark thought and just nodded his head

“This is JB, Yugyeom, Youngjae and BamBam, my gang….” Jinyoung said and pointed to the other’s while introducing and Mark just nodded his head trying to remember the names

“How old are you? When is your birthday?” Jinyoung asked and stared at Mark right into the eyes

“17, my birthday is 04. September…” Mark said nervously

“You’re a year elder than me and JB, why are in our class?” Jinyoung asked curiously

“I just moved here from LA, they just put me in that class, I don’t know why…” Mark told them the truth, they just told him to start in Jinyoung’s class even he is a year older then him

“Ok, but even you’re elder, I won’t call you ‘hyung’, I never call people ‘hyung’, only people call me that…you understand….” Jinyoung said and Mark nodded his head for understanding

"Do I need to call you ‘hyung’….” Mark asked nervously, scared that they will think that he is dumb, it made Jinyoung laugh hard

“Haha…no need, just call me Jinyoung is fine….” Jinyoung said after laughing and Mark just nodded his head for understanding. He felt embarrassed for asking such a stupid question

“And even I don’t call you ‘hyung’, the other’s will, JB is the same age as me 16, but the others are younger. They are in our class just because I told them to…...” Jinyoung said again and Mark once again just nodded his head

“Why we need to call him ‘hyung’? We never call new people who just joined the gang ‘hyung’, before testing them. We didn’t call Youngjae-hyung, ‘hyung’ at first….” The boy named BamBam protested made Mark a bit scared knowing that they will test him

“Because I said it, just do as I said, call him ‘hyung’ from now on…” Jinyoung said sternly, it looked like BamBam wanted to protest again, but the boy named Yugyeom stopped the other, made BamBam just glare at Mark

"He definitely hating me, will he bully me?” Mark nervously thought

“Since you’re a part of the gang now, you don’t need to wear your school uniform anymore. You can just wear whatever you want, I will make the school know that you are a part of the gang. But even you can wear whatever you want, please choose something good looking, I suppose you already have a bit knowledge of our style….” Jinyoung said and pointed at the gang for showing what kind of style they are wearing.

“I need to find something good to wear when I came home then….” Mark thought while nodding his head for responding to what Jinyoung said earlier

“The style you’re wearing now is ok, I like your jacket and ripped jeans…. you can wear that tomorrow….” Jinyoung scanned Mark up and down and said while pointing at Mark’s denim jacket

“Thank you, I will wear it tomorrow….” Mark said with a small smile, he was happy that at least Jinyoung liked his style

“Your smile is beautiful…...” Jinyoung’s comment made Mark blush and look down shyly

Everyone started to talk to each other and Mark was the only one who just sat there quietly, so he just tried to drink his beer again. Knowing that he need to be used to it, since everyone in the gang seems to be drinking alcohol pretty well. Mark looked down at his beer not notice someone changed his seat to sit beside the elder

“You’re pretty quiet….” Jinyoung whispered into Mark’s ears made Mark surprise and frozen from his seat

“I ….I…..ha….have nothing to say….”  Mark stuttered nervously, not dare to look up, since Jinyoung didn’t move after whispering and they are really close, Mark can feel Jinyoung’s breath near his ear and chest touching his arm

“You’re cute when you are stuttering….” Jinyoung chuckled and said ily made Mark bites his lips to not freak out

"Do you want to go to my home tonight?” Jinyoung asked ily and the elder’s ear, made Mark frozen even more, don’t know what to do

“Am I supposed to say yes? What would he do to me if I went home with him? Will he me? Is he into guys? If I say no, he would definitely start bullying me right?” Mark fights with himself in his mind, totally freaking out, doesn’t know what to do

“I…...ehm…...I…. eeh…...I….” Mark stuttered still don’t know what to answer

“Haha…. I’m just kidding, no need to be so serious….” Jinyoung chuckled and moved a bit away from the elder before saying, made Mark let out a big breath he was holding in earlier, feeling relieved

“Are you so against to come home with me?” Jinyoung heard Mark letting out a breath relieved and asked with a pout, made Mark couldn’t take his eyes away from Jinyoung’s pouting lips and thought that Jinyoung is really cute

“Are you staring at my lips because you want to kiss them?” Jinyoung asked and slicked his lips ily, even biting his lips after
