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

Part 50

Mark

I hold her in my arms as she rests her head on my chest on the plane to Shanghai. I wonder what's going on in that busy mind of hers. I'd do anything just to get an inkling of what she's thinking. Even when she's asleep, I know that there are lots of things bothering her. 

Her brows are creased and her lips are moving slightly. I rub my thumb and finger over her forehead to straighten her brows. But, they go back to furrowing in just seconds. If only I can take part of her worries, just to lessen her burden a bit. 

At least I know that she loves me, too. But, what happens now? Is she still planning to marry Lei? What about us? 

For now, I just need to be by her side. Whatever she decides, I just need to accept it...right? 

As soon as we land, she asks to go straight to the hospital. Although I don't want her near Lei, I just have to follow. There are a total of six cars on a convoy. Jake, Jin, Jess, Me and two more men take one and the other men take the rest. 

Jake asks the others to wait in the car as we go up to Lei's room. My blood boils again as I see him on his bed. He smiles up at Jess when he sees her and she gives him the same. My heart aches even more when she slowly walks towards his bed and immediately takes his hand. She sits on the bed beside him and strokes his cheeks. 

"How are you?" She asks him, almost whispering. 

"You're here." He looks at her then at me. I stay at the door, not daring to get any closer but ready to run to her if he hurts her. "Thank you, Mark." 

I just roll my eyes at him. 

"Jess," he reaches his hand to touch her face. I stop the urge to yank his hand away and pull Jess out of this room. "What did they do to you? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, Lei." She turns and looks at me, "Mark came to get me." I smile at her. 

"Where's Jin?" He seems worried, looking at the other people in the room. "Is he...?"

She leans closer to him, "don't worry about him. Mark's men are keeping him somewhere."

I furrow my brows, the aching inside me is uncontrollable. I see how she touches him, caressing his cheeks, fixing his hair, resting her hand on his shoulder. And him, looking up sweetly at her and smiling. Who wouldn't feel what I'm feeling right now? It hurts....it hurts really bad. 

I can't take this anymore. I leave the room and stay at the hallway outside the door. I lean my body on the wall as I fight back my tears. Why does it have to be like this? Can't I just have a normal relationship for once?

But, even if my brain complains, I still want to be here. I want to be in this place, at this time. 

My phone rings, pulling me out of my thoughts. 

"Mark." It's Jackson. 

"Hey, man."

"How are you? When are you coming back?"

He still has no clue of what has happened in these past days. "I'm in Shanghai. I'm with Jess."

"Really?" He sounds excited. "How is she? So, are you back together?"

"Ugh...it's so complicated, Jackson. I don't know. So many things have happened and I don't even know how or where to start."

"I have time. You can tell me." 

I end up telling him everything from when I received a call from Lisa to just a few minutes ago. 

"Woah..." he exclaims. "So....are you....ok?"
