30. Forgive?

 

 

Mark held the younger’s hand to lead Jinyoung back to the car, the elder drove Jinyoung to a high class Italian restaurant. Jinyoung never thought that the elder would take him to a so high class restaurant. Mark already booked a table and the waiter showed their table near the window

 

 

Jinyoung is not familiar to Italian food so he let Mark order for him, the restaurant was beautiful and it has a small stage in the middle of the restaurant with people playing piano and violin.

 

 

“Why you choose this restaurant?” Jinyoung asked after Mark had ordered their food

 

 

“Mhm…...because I think Italia is the most romantic place, but I can’t afford or had enough preparation to take you to Italia, so I searched for the top romantic Italian restaurant in Seoul…...” Mark said shyly while rubbing his neck and it made Jinyoung smile. He never thought that Mark would think so much and use so much effort for this date, it was so sweet of the elder

 

 

After had ate the food and dessert, Mark payed the bill and they went to the car again. When Mark started to drive, Jinyoung thought that the date was over and they were on the way home

 

 

“Thank you for the date, I really enjoyed it…...” Jinyoung said while looking at the elder

 

 

“It’s not over yet……” Mark said and smiled, still focusing on the road

 

 

“Not over? But it starts to get dark, where are we going now?” Jinyoung asked curiously while still looking at the elder who’s driving

 

 

“It’s a secret……” Mark teased the younger and let out a chuckle when he saw the pout landed on Jinyoung’s lips

 

 

“Secret again?” Jinyoung complained, but he only got a small laugh from the elder and he had learned from earlier today to not to punch the elder for he’s the one who would get hurt

 

 

“Stop it, don’t laugh……” Jinyoung said sternly and Mark tried hard not to laugh

 

 

Right before they are near their destination, Mark asked Jinyoung to open the car drawer and Jinyoung found and pulled out the eye mask.

 

 

“Put that on……”Mark said as a command

 

 

“Why?” Jinyoung asked, not really want to put the eye mask on

 

 

“Just do it Jinyoung……” Mark said again and Jinyoung didn’t had a choice, but do it

 

 

“Fine….” Jinyoung said and putted the eye mask on, they drove five more minutes and Mark parked the car

 

 

“Don’t remove the mask okay? I will now go out and get ready for our last stop of this date, please promise me that you won’t look and wait for me here……” Mark asked and pleaded for the younger to not look

 

 

“Fine I will not look……” Jinyoung said and Mark went out of the car with a satisfied smile.

 

 

Jinyoung can hear Mark takes the bag from the backseat with him, he can also hear that Mark opened the trunk. He really wanted removed the eye mask and see, but he promised the elder not to look. So, he just stayed still to wait for the elder to get ready and he felt like dying of curiosity. After a while Jinyoung felt someone opened the car door again

 

 

“I will now lead you there…...” Mark said and unbelted the younger’s seatbelt

 

 

“Can’t I just go by myself?” Jinyoung pleaded, he had been blind for months and he really don’t want to go as blind again. He always feeling that he will fall

 

 

“Nope…...and don’t worry, I will lead you there, you will be perfectly fine in my hands…...” Mark started and held both Jinyoung’s hands “And I will catch you if you fall……” The elder said and it made Jinyoung feel that the elder could read his mind. Mark slowly started to lead the way when Jinyoung gave Mark a small nod

 

 

“We’re here……” Mark said after had walked like few minutes

 

 

“Can I take off the mask now?” Jinyoung asked and the elder gave him a small yes

 

 

Jinyoung pulled off the eye mask and what in front of him really got him out of words. They are at the beach and there a blanket there with two wine glass and a bottle of red wine. Around the blanket is filled with candles formed as a heart

 

 

“Mark……” Jinyoung said surprised and stared at the elder totally out of words

 

 

“Do you like it?” The elder asked, curiously about how the younger think about this surprise

 

 

“Like it? I love it……” Jinyoung said stared at the elder filled with love

 

 

“Let’s sit down…….” Mark lead the younger to seat down, he also pulled out one more blanket and took it over Jinyoung’s leg so the younger won’t get cold

 

 

Mark opened the bottle of red wine and filled the wine glass with wines. He gave one to Jinyoung and sat beside the younger with his glass of wine

 

 

“Cheers…...” Mark said and Jinyoung smiled before clinking their glasses of wine

 

 

“Jinyoung……mhm……can I ask you something?” Mark asked nervously

 

 

“Sure…...” Jinyoung said with a smile, not knowing what the elder is about to ask

 

 

“Mhm……can……can we be back together?” Mark asked sincerely, he really wants to be back together with the younger

 

 

“Mhm….I don’t know…...do you really love me? Would you stay by my side and never choose other people over me again?” Jinyoung asked, he’s scared, he was scared to get hurt again

 

 

“I love you so much and I promise that you’re always my priority and I will never lie to you again…...” Mark held the younger’s hand and said

 

 

“You promise that you will always stay honest with me?” Jinyoung asked again and looked down, not to look at the elder

 

 

Mark put down his glass of wine and put both his hands on each side of Jinyoung’s cheek to lift the younger’s head to look at him

 

 

“I will only tell you the truth from now on…….” Mark said and a smile landed on Jinyoung’s face  

 

 

Mark leaned slowly closer to the younger and Jinyoung closed his eyes waiting for the elder to close the gap between them. Mark lips slowly touched the plump lips of Jinyoung and they both deepen the kiss to share a passionate kiss filled with love

 

 

“So…... is it a yes?” Mark broke the kiss and asked, made the younger let out a chuckle

 

 

“Yes, Babo……” Jinyoung said and pecked the elder one more time on the lips

 

 

“I love you Jinyoung-ah……” Mark hugged the younger and said

 

 

“I love you too……” Jinyoung hugged the elder back and said

 

 

Mark changed his position and now sitting behind the younger and back hugging Jinyoung while both enjoying the wine and silent sea with sky filled with stars

 

 

 “Thank you so much for this date……I really enjoyed it……” Jinyoung said and leaned back more closely to the elder’s chest

 

 

“Good that you enjoyed it……” Mark said and was happy that the younger enjoyed it

 

 

“Yeah….I did enjoy it, but…...” The younger started, but then stopped and let out a sigh, made the elder curious

 

 

“Yes, Jinyoung……is there something you didn’t like about this date?” Mark asked worried, he was worried of that he did something he shouldn’t had done that made Jinyoung upset

 

 

“No……” Jinyoung said with his head down

 

 

“Then was is it?” Mark asked again, he want to know what is upsetting the younger

 

 

“Hyung…...you promised that you will be honest with me from now on, right?” Jinyoung sits up and turn around to look at the elder before asking

 

 

“Yes, Jinyoung, I promise……” Mark said and looked into Jinyoung’s eyes

 

 

“Then….do you have something to tell me?” Jinyoung asked, he wants the elder to be honest with him

 

 

“Why is him asking me like that? Did he found out that I need to transfer?” Mark thought worried and didn’t know how to tell the younger, if it was the right time or not, since they just got back together

 

 

“I……” Mark started, but then stopped and looked down, the elder breathed a deep breath before

 

 

“Why you borrow money from Jackson?”  “I will be transferring to Big Hit highschool…….” Both said in unison, Jinyoung asking about borrowing money from Jackson and Mark said that he needed to transfer to Big Hit

 

 

“You what?” Jinyoung shouted at the elder
