"You got me this?" He saw you looking at him with such a warm confused expression, while your gentle voice rang whimsically through his ears. causing his heart to tingle once more.
 
"Obviously." Mark held in his laughter, seeing you act so clueless. It.was literally killing him and he wanted to just bite you?

*SILENCE* The silent air filled the room but this silence was calming, and there was nowhere else he would rather be.

"So, where's the bracelet?" Mark laughed lightly seeing you pout cutely once again. He was glad he could take your mind off of the things that had troubled you earlier, even though he wanted to know what exactly was bothering you. You just weren't ready and he was willing to wait for you to trust him with your heart.

"EH? Does that mean I CAN STAY~?"
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Mark and Your Side:   *GAZE* Mark eyed you mischievously, as you didn't seem to notice him or his words. Playing with the key on the bracelet somehow got you trapped in your own thoughts.   Love, the definition of love. There is no such thing, there is no real meaning behind the word, love and yet once in our lives; we discover the TRUE beauty of this one word, love. Love is an illusion, but we all fall into it unknowingly, at a certain point in our lives. Some of us experience this thing called love earlier than others and yet, some of us wait for a lifetime for this feeling to arrive. Yes, it's true..love is how I feel when I think of you, love is what I see when you're here, right beside me. Yet so many of us mistake the feeling of LIKE for the feeling of LOVE, there is a huge difference between these two words, LIKE and LOVE. And that difference is, TIME~ But some of us know right away; from the very first encounter, that very first look when our eyes met, I knew right then and there, that I loved you.   "I LIKE YOU, THAT'S WHY I DON'T LIKE HER ANYMORE..."   *SMILE* As simple as that sentence may seem, it was something that touched you. It touched your heart more so than anything that Mark could have ever given you. But that one sentence also brought you fear as she was hat one person, who made you feel so insecure when it came to Mark's feelings, Tthat one person out of all the girls in the world, there was only one girl that you feared and that one girl was Stephanie. You were in your own little world; playing with the bracelet around your wrist, not realizing that Mark had been eyeing you for quite a while now.   "Do you like it?" Mark's low husky voice escaped the chilled vast air, his warm breath reached you instantly waking you up from your own thoughts without a fair warning.   *STARE* His head rested on a pillow next to you, his soft warm eyes burned their way towards you and even then you couldn't seem to look away. Time stood still for that mere second before you spoke up.   "Psh. I don't like it! By the way, is this your way of apologizing for loosing your bracelet!?" You jokingly glared at him, trying to sound stern and serious. You really didn't care what happened to the bracelet to be honest, you were surprised that he had it for as long as he did.   *SULK* Mark cutely pouted and turned his back on you, giving you the "cold shoulder".   *CHUCKLE* "You're such a baby, I was just kidding~ I love it, Mark."  Mark slowly turned around hearing your playful tone, as he scrunched up his nose angrily eyeing you once more.   "If you don't want it then give it back~~" He teasingly grabbed your arm but you were fighting him, wiggling your way to not let him get to the bracelet.   *TOSS*   *TURN*   *RESTLESS*   "Okay okay. I WANT IT!~" You finally had enough of horsing around as you were literally out of breath. Both Mark and you were now seated facing and cutely eyeing eachother.   *BREATHLESS*   *PAT*     *GRIN* "Good~! Cause I don't know who else would want it~" Mark gave you a mischievous smirk, lightly biting his lower lip. Mark took his right hand and patted your head gently as you narrowed your eyes at him for even saying such a thing.   *ROLL EYES* "I'm sure half of the female population would want itm especially coming from Mark of GOT7 and all~ *whisper* ...and I'm pretty sure Stephanie would want it too." You half heartedly stated the last part not realizing that Mark had his gaze on you the entire time.   *STARE*   *BLINK BLINK*   "You really don't like Stephanie, do you?" Mark's question totally caught you off guard as you nearly choked.   *COUGH* "it's not that.. It's not what you think." You tried to reason out your own thoughts but it just wasn't happening.   *TILT HEAD* "So, you're JEALOUS~?" Mark raised an eyebrow curious to whether you would admit to it or not?   *SILENCE*   *STARE*   "Hmm. *POUT*  How can I not be jealous of her, Mark?" You faintly whispered, looking straight into those warm caring eyes and for the first time, you saw guilt; the guilt that lingered onto those loving eyes.   "You do know that you don't need to be jealous of anyone right?" Mark glanced your way as your heart started to flutter nonstop. It's the sentences like these that truly made everything feel so surreal, like you were living in a fairy-tale world, and Mark was the perfect PRINCE CHARMING.   "I've never really been the type to be jealous of anyone, but out of all the girls in this world; somehow I feel insecure when it comes to Stephanie."  You didn't know why you were being so straightforward and honest about your feelings but for some reason, it just felt right. The moment felt right.   *LOOK DOWN* You felt a bit embarrassed after your little confession, twirling the bracelet around your wrist. You were trying not to embrace the nervousness that was hitting you hard at that moment.   "Why do you feel insecure?" Mark's gentle tone rang through your ears as you sat there thinking, thinking of the answer that has been in your head for a very long time; ever since you found out about Mark liking Stephanie.   "Because, she's your first love. I can never be your first love Mark, she's irreplaceable and she's someone who had your heart and knowing that she has feelings for you too; I'm really scared." You still fixed your gaze on the bracelet around your wrist not wanting to meet his stare.   *SILENCE*    "You don't need to replace her, ya know? Cause you already did. And just because I liked her, doesn't mean she had my heart. I never really thought about it but now I realize that maybe my hesitation towards her was meant to be. And I've always wondered why, I never had the courage to ask her out but now I know that it was because I was waiting for the right one. I was waiting for you and as crazy as this may sound, you've had my heart from the very beginning without even knowing it." Mark's gentle nature was surely a rare sight, but somehow it seemed so natural when he was pouring his feelings out to you at that very moment in time.   *TEAR* It took everything within you, to hold onto those tears that brimmed your still swollen eyes.   "Oh god, don't cry. How am I gonna tell people when they ask me, how I asked you out? Am I gonna say, we were in BED and I made her CRY OUT LOUD~?!" *CHUCKLE* Mark smirked playfully trying his best to make you laugh but he ended up getting attacked instead.   *GLARE*   *WHACK*   "HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH THINGS. YOU KNOW HOW WRONG THAT SOUNDS!!" You struck him with one of your pillows, annoyed at his dirty thoughts.   "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. *GRAB* Come here~~" Mark took a hold of the pillow that you had used to hit him with and tried to hug you.   *PUSH* "I seriously hate you! Bow GO HOME, it's already 2AM!" You did a very good job of protesting as your tears stopped forming instantly.   "How are you gonna kick someone out, when they just confessed to you.*LAYS DOWN AND GOES UNDER THE COVERS* And NOPE!! Not leaving, not when you're living under one roof with those two guys. Although, I did PUNCH that ONE guy in the face for..." You couldn't believe what he just said as he was trying to finish his train of thought, when you shot a glare at him cutting him off.   "You DID WHAT??!!!!"   *PULL* You tried to yank him out from  under the covers but of course it was no use, as he was a  lot stronger than you would have thought, considering how skinny he was.   *STOP*   *GRAB*   *HOLDS HAND*   "You know, you should have told me what happened that night." Mark's serious tone made the strings on your heart pull lightly, tugging at you endlessly waiting for your heart beats to prevail as your hand rested perfectly in his. Your heart suddenly roared  with guilt.   *PAUSE*   "Even if I did tell you, ot already happened Mark and there's nothing that you could have done anyways." Your soft voice seemed to have shaken a bit as he finally sat up with that evil smirk plastered onto his face.   "Well there's your answer. I punched him because that's all I ca
