chemistry pt 2 ; mark

Requested by: _gotogirl

[A/N: I never really planned on making a part 2 for the chemistry story for Mark although the possibility crossed my mind a couple of times, but I guess I wasn't motivated enough to do it, but here it is and I hope the second part lives up to the expectations of the first!-Ashley]

...........................................................................................................................................................

After the fleeting, brief experience with Mark, you avoided him like the plague. Thankfully, him, being 2 years your senior, you didn't have bump into him often and most to most you saw him with your brother and the rest of the members while you stayed stolidly with your usual group of friends, trying very hard not to be noticed by him, wishing fervently to be invisible. By the first month or so, your strategy worked and you were able to feel slightly more relaxed, not having to look over your shoulder constantly to see if Mark was there.

Of course this strained your relationship with the rest of the members, including your brother who couldn't POSSIBLY understand why you didn't want to hang out with them anymore even if it was just for a simple coffee. When he had asked you about that you had merely come up with several different excuses: Extra dancing lessons, vocal training, plans that had already been made with other friends.

You had grown more distant with the rest of the members, only talking to them if Mark was not in the immediate vicinity. You missed working on songs with JB, pouring over books with Jinyoung, dog-walking with Youngjae and laughing your heart out with Bam Bam and Yugyeom. Whenever they asked you about it, as you did with Jackson, you dismissed their claims and always successfully managed to direct their train of conversation somewhere else.

The truth was, you were afraid of the sudden surge of emotions that constantly overwhelmed you when you realized that Mark was in the room. It was completely illogical and you didn't know what to make of it. Your hands would start to sweat, turning clammy, your breath would shorten as if you couldn't pull enough oxygen in your lungs, and your skin tingled with electricity no matter how far he was from you all it took was his presence. And you often caught yourself thinking about him. A LOT. And it scared you.

So, it was a relief to be working hard on your debut, all that time was being put to good use instead of you obsessing over him and often you were so exhausted at the end of the day, that you just fell into dreamless sleeps.

'Hey (Y/N),' one of your future band members and best friend Kim Eun Rae called out to you as you worked hard fixing some of the lyrics that was to go on your debut song.

'Hmmmm?' you hummed in reply, not bothering to look up you were so absorbed with your work. Being the best songwriter in the group, JYP had put you in charge of working on the debut song which your group was going to present. JB had been an enormous help, with his 4 more years of experience and his ear for music. Youngjae too had chipped in occasionally, voicing out his opinion whenever he felt needed. Despite all the help you were being given, you still felt anxious about the song and was always worrying over it, and it bugged you, like an itch you couldn't scratch.

You were so absorbed in your work that you didn't realize till too late that a deadly projectile was flying towards you. The pillow which Eun Rae had thrown from the other side of the room was surprisingly and deadly accurate as it hit your head with a soft thump.

'Yah!' you glowered at her as she grinned, pleased to have finally caught your attention.

'Space out,' she teased, before her tone turned serious. 'Someone wants to see you, he says it's urgent,' she relayed the message.
