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

Part 41

Mark

So, this is really it. She wants me out of her life. Although I want to argue more, I can't. The words she just said were too hurtful. Clearly, she wants me out. Tears fall down my eyes again as I sit, lifeless, on the sofa in the hotel. Jake and the other guys leave me alone as I let go of all the emotions coming out of me. 

After what seems like forever, my eyes dry up. I take my phone out and call my best friend. 

"Jackson," I say softly.

"Hey, man. So, did you see her?" He sounds excited and worried at the same time.

"Yeah!"

"So?"

"Nothing. Jackson....She said she doesn't need me anymore." 

There is silence in the other line. I guess he's also trying to figure out what to say. "I'm sorry," he finally speaks, regret and guilt clear in his voice.

"I just thought she really wanted me to get her." I sigh. "It's over."

"I'm really sorry, Mark. I should've stopped you in the beginning."

"No. It's not your fault. Everything that happened just did. I'm not blaming anyone. I think I understand her more now that I see her situation."

"Is she really with him?"

"Yes. And they're getting married. Shit, Jackson," I run my fingers through my hair, "I just don't know where to go from here. It was better not seeing her in Jeju that time. I should've just forgotten about her. Why did I even bother following her around?"

"Mark. That's just how you show your love. Now, just come back here."

"I don't know, man. JYP has given me a week off. I'll just take advantage of it and might as well visit my family in the States."

"You do that, Mark. You need time to relax and forget everything. Just be careful."

"Thanks, Jackson."

I tell Jake to book us a flight home. HOME...

"We're booked for the 6 AM flight." He tells me and I just nod at him. 

I go down to the bar of the hotel and order myself a drink. I'm in my third glass when I sense a man sit beside me. I turn to my side and see GD with a bottle of beer in his hand.

"Sunbae!" I'm guessing he's not here for a concert. As far as I know, they're scheduled for a tour in Japan. "What are you doing here?" 

He turns to me and smirks. "You look like shit, Tuan. Did you talk to her yet?"

"You don't look so fine either," I sass back. His hair is even more disheveled than mine. I shake my head and take a sip of my drink, hoping this guy would just leave me alone to mope on my own. 

"Are you seriously letting her marry that madman?" His voice is serious and when I turn to look at him, his head is bent and he looks like he's hoping for me to say 'NO'. 

I just shake my head and go back to my drink. 

"I guess she's right about leaving you then." He lets out a soft chuckle. "You're a quitter."

This guy is seriously getting in my nerves. I knit my brows as I turn my full body to face him. "What do you know about me, huh?" I snarl. "If you are all too mighty, why don't you go there and take her yourself." 

"Oh.." one corner of his lips turn up, "I will. Don't worry cause I'm not as weak as you, Mark. You know what? I really thought you were the one for her. That's why I let her go back to you. But, you're just nothing but a loser. I thought you really love her. I was wrong. I wonder what she saw in you."
