Chapter 25: Hello Philippines!

Our lips… they’re touching each other.

I can’t see Mark’s eyes. His eyes were closed. I can’t move. My body was frozen by what’s happening right now.

Am I dreaming?

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight

Just a touch of a fire burning so bright

I don’t wanna mess this thing up

I don’t wanna push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might

Be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life

So baby I’m alright

With just a kiss goodnight

It’s like there’s this background music playing right now. What’s happening? I can feel my heartbeat. It’s beating faster and faster.

Dugdug. Dugdug.

I can’t breathe. What is happening right now?

I saw him opening his eyes and just stared at me with our lips still pressing on each other.

The moment he realized that he was kissing me, he immediately removed his lips. Then he ran.

I was left in the backstage.

He kissed me.

Yeah he kissed me. Not a forehead kiss but a real kiss.

He kissed ME!!!!!!!

I don’t know but my heart suddenly jumped so fast.

I’m smiling. No, I’m not smiling. I’m grinning.

It’s my first kiss. He’s my first kiss.

GOT7 dorm

Mark immediately ran to the dorm and entered the room. He saw Jinyoung and Jackson there.

The moment Jinyoung and Jackson saw him, they went to him.

“What happened?” Jackson said.

“Hyung, did you confess already?” Jinyoung said.

“Yah, Mark, why are you like that?” Jackson said.

Mark was not with himself. He was smiling but he is not talking.

Jackson suddenly hit Mark. “Yah!” Mark said.

“We’re asking you questions. What happened? Did you confess already?” Jackson said.

Mark shook his head.

“What?!!!!” Jinyoung and Jackson said.

“But how come you’re smiling?” Jackson said.

“I kissed her.” Mark said.

Jinyoung and Jackson looked at each other so surprised and then they nodded.

Jinyoung immediately pushed Mark outside the room and Jackson was there to support Jinyoung.

“Oh, hyung? Where are you going?” Youngjae asked the moment he saw the two of them pushing Mark.

“Mark has something to do.” Jinyoung said.

“What?” JB asked.

“We’ll just tell it as soon as Mark finished doing it.” Jackson said.

Jackson and Jinyoung continued to push Mark. They were now in front of 15&’s dorm.

“Wait.” Mark said.

“And what now?” Jackson said.

“I’ll just text her.” Mark said.

Rhianne’s place

I went back to the dorm still thinking about it. Did we really kiss? Did he really kiss me? Or maybe I’m just dreaming. No. It’s real. We really kissed.

I was touching my lips. I can still feel it. I can’t stop smiling.

“Unnie, are you alright?” Jimin asked.

I looked at Jimin.

“Tomorrow’s our flight.” I said.

Oh? What did I say?

“Unnie, that’s not my question. I’m asking you if you’re alright.” Jimin said.

“I’m going to sleep too. Goodnight!” I said.

No matter what I do, I still can’t forget it. I went inside my room and lay down my bed.

Did we really just kiss?

*buzz**buzz*

I have a text message.

From: Peter Pan <3

I’m sorry about what I said earlier. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.

Then I received another text from him…

From: Peter Pan <3

I’m sorry again because I left you alone in the backstage. I don’t know what to do.

Then another text…

From: Peter Pan <3

I can’t say it to you personally. But, I felt jealous when you kissed Taehyung on his cheeks. And he seems so happy.

My heart beats faster and heavier again. Mark is jealous? He’s jealous? OHMYGOSH! Can I just scream now? Like as in now? I want to scream. I want to jump but people might think I’m crazy.

Waah. My chest is hurting. It’s like my feels are all going to explode. I can’t explain it. I don’t know how to explain it. This makes me breathe hardly.

“Unnie! Jr oppa is looking for you. Come out faster.” Jimin said.

I went out to see Jr. He immediately closed the door of the dorm then I saw Mark behind him.

I can’t look at him, not now.

Dugdug. Dugdug.

I can feel my heart beating so fast again.

Dugdug. Dugdug.

Ahhh! It’s killing me.

Jackson was there too then Jinyoung and Jackson pushed Mark.

“Hyung, faster. Say it.” Jinyoung said.

Is there something Mark wanted to tell?

“I…” Mark utterly said. “I…”

“Mark! Say it faster!” Jackson shouted.

“I like you Rhianne!” Mark said.

And I di
