Love Me | MarkNoHyuckMin

chapter seventy

                                                                        Mark
                  Hey, um, I was just thinking about
                  this, I'm going to work in a bit and
                  I was wondering if you wanted to
                  come?
             I'm just asking cause I know you like
             music and then maybe we could go
             on a date after?
                                Only if you want to though

Jeno
You're cute when you're nervous

Mark feels his face heat up, but the longer he stares at the text, the more familiar it feels.

And then he remembers.

No

He shakes his head, it having no effect on the thoughts in his head. Then he realizes that Darci said the sentence too. It's not the most comforting thing but it makes him feel better that Annalise isn't the only person he has a memory of hearing those words with.

He gets pulled out of his thoughts when his phone vibrates in his hand.

Jeno
Pumpkin?
Did I say something wrong?

                                                                        Mark
                                                                      No, no
                                                                      I just...
                     I don't have good memories with
                     every phrase
                       But it feels better when it's you,
                       Jaemin or Haechan saying it
                        I know you don't mean it badly

Jeno
I don't
It's adorable when start rambling and
then you get flustered and your face
turns red and you try to play it off
but you still wanna hide your face

                                                                        Mark
                                                  You noticed that?

Jeno
Back in high school, I paid attention
to you without realizing
Now it's on purpose
Also, I'd love to have a date with you
and go with you to work
I could use some relaxing before
going to Shimmer

                                                                        Mark
                                                                         Okay
                                I'll be there in half an hour

Jeno
Okay Pumpkin :)

"So, who's this?" A girl asks, smiling.

Mark rolls his eyes. "This is my Jeno." His eyes widen, face instantly flushing. "I mean, not my-well he is mine-but not like-he doesn't belong to me. Oh my God." Mark hides his face in his hands and then hides himself even more in Jenos shoulder.

Jeno shakes the girls hand, smiling. "Nice to meet you, I'm Marks Jeno."

Mark smacks Jenos arm. "Dude, shut up."

The girl laughs. "It's a good thing you spoke to me first, Devon wouldn't let you live this down."

"Please don't tell him."

"Sure thing. Now, why don't we try this again? Mark, who is this?"

"He's one of my boyfriends", Mark mumbles, still feeling too embarrassed to look at either of them.
