I Love You, But I Lied - Mark Tuan and Got7 Fanfic

Part 20

Jess

In the morning, as soon as I open my eyes...maybe even before that, I'm already blushing just remembering what just happened last night. 

"Now, look who's blushing." Mark teases. He's sitting beside me and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hands - Lilacs. I wonder what time he woke up this morning just to get those. Are there even flower shops open that early? Anyhow, I feel myself smiling at the sweet gesture. 

"Mark! You're gonna spoil me with those flowers every morning." 

"I want to spoil you." He leans down to kiss the tip of my nose.  

"Did Vic or Cuifen come home last night?" I truly didn't hear any of them. 

"Vic's on the sofa. He couldn't possibly come in the room last night," he chuckles with a naughty look in his eyes and I blush again. "Seriously? You blush more now." 

I get the pillow beside me and cover my face with it. I don't even know why that makes me blush. I did it with my flings back in college but it wasn't like this. 

"C'mon," he pulls me off the bed, "Vic prepared breakfast." 

I get up and walk lazily in the bathroom to freshen up. 

"I think you should get a bigger place," Mark is saying outside the bathroom. "There are three of you and just one room. No privacy," he chuckles. 

I know what he means. Cuifen is even forced to stay in the restaurants at night because she would sleep in the sofa if Vic and I are in the room.

"You can talk to JYP and ask him if there are other bigger units in this building."

JYP. "Mark! You're free today right?"

"Yup!" 

"Can you come with me later? I want to talk to 'Appa'." 

"Sure." He answers without second thoughts. 

After breakfast, and an hour of discussing some work stuff with Vic, Mark and I head to JYPE. 

"Do you have an appointment?" The lady behind the reception ask. But, just a smile from Mark, she lets us in. I have to get used to his charm. Doesn't bother me though, quite an advantage, in fact. Like how the girl in front of the apartment this morning let us take the taxi she was supposed to get because Mark winked at her. 

I just shake my head and smile. "What?", he asks innocently. 

"Jess, Mark," JYP stands up from behind his desk and meets us with a bear hug. "What brings you two here?" 

"How are you, Appa?" I hug him back. "Are you busy?"

"Not really. I have time to spare for you. What is it?"

I really don't know how to start. I actually want to talk to him about Vic. They still haven't talked. I know how they miss each other, they're just both too stubborn, waiting for the other to make the first move. 

"Wanna go out for coffee or something?" I ask. 

"Yeah! Is there something you want to tell me?" He eyes us both. I think he knows that we're going out but I wanna tell him just the same. 

"I have three, actually. So, let's go?"

We go to a really quiet cafe just near the company. He leads us to a private room inside. 

"So, how's Mr. Kwon? How's the business?" 

"GD's treating me better. The preparations are going as planned. Thanks," I answer.
