"Do I really have to go through with this?" Mark whispered, feeling a little bit uneasy. He was about to shoot his first episode for We Got Married. Taeyong smiled, nodding lightly.

"I'm sorry, but it seems like you do. You'll do well, don't worry!" Taeyong nudged him, ruffling his hair. Mark just sighed, feeling the hairs on the nape of his neck stand up as he realized he was about to leave soon. He muttered a small goodbye to Taeyong, before smiling for the camera and getting inside the van. Though, it was a bit surprising to see Doyoung sitting in the car, waiting for him with a red envelope.

"Here's your first mission!" Doyoung laughed, watching Mark's face turn a slight tint of red.

"Already?" Mark chuckled, slowly opening it. Doyoung just hummed, holding another envelope in his hand. Mark continues to read the envelope silently, but then realizes he should probably read it out loud so everyone can hear what he has to do. "A-Ah.. So I'm supposed to meet up with my soon-to-be-wife at the...slating rink." Mark hummed, continuing to read on. "There is another envelope with your partner's picture in it."

"It's a hint to how she looks like." Doyoung smiled, Mark reaching for it, but Doyoung shook his head. "I want to open it first."

"Well then, go ahead Hyung." Mark said, peering over Doyoung's shoulder as he opened it. The picture showed of a girl in a nice sundress, looking across the ocean. Although he can't see her face, he felt his heart beat faster at the sight of the girl.

"Hm, what do you think she does?" Doyoung asks, lookingat Mark curiously. Mark didn't answer him for a few seconds, before shaking his head and hitting his cheeks lightly.

"M-Maybe she's a swimmer?" Mark stuttered, continuing to look at the picture. Doyoung could only smirk, humming to the small tune playing in the car as they make it to the skating rink.

"Oh what am I supposed to do Peachy?" Nina asks, trying to pick out a nice outfit. Peachy could only giggle, watching her friend go through the struggle of picking a perfect outfit.

"You could just wear what you're wearing now." Peachy suggested, but Nina shook her head.

"I'm meeting my soon-to-be husband, I need to be dressed nice." Nina huffed. Peachy almost bursted into laughter, but decided to just help Nina look for an outfit

*Time skip*

Nina sat on the outside of the skating rink, waiting for her mysterious "boyfriend". She had seen a picture of him, but it didn't give her any clue as to who he is specifically. Now, Nina could only wait to see his face.

"E-Excuse me?"

~

Mark felt his weight shift from one foot to the other foot, his nerves getting the best of him. His feet carried him to the skating rink. It was lit a light blue and soft pink, the atmosphere being more than romantic at this point. He straightened up his stance and collar, seeing a girl sitting close to him. He walked over to her, clearing his throat. "E-Excuse me?" As she turned around, he felt as though his heart stopped beating all together, his face heating up at the sight of the girl. With one look at her face, she already knew who she was, and he felt embarrassed to be next to her goddess-like self. "I'm Mark Lee." He introduced himself, handing her the flowers he had with a shaky hand. Nina giggled, standing up and introducing herself.

"I'm-"

"Nina. You're a famous Figure Skater. " Mark blurted out, his cheeks turning more red than they were before. Nina could only laugh.

"And you're Mark Lee from NCT, right?" He nodded, feeling happy that such an amazing person like her recognized him.

"Well, do you like skating?"

~

The first few episodes went off smoothly, but almost a little too smoothly for Mark. He was sitting by himself at this moment, trying to piece things together. Although Mark liked Nina a lot, he felt as though he was falling too fast for the gorgeous figure skater. He didn't come into this show wanting to fall in love, but it turns out, that's exactly what he was doing.

"Hey, Mark!" Nina hummed, hopping into the seat next to him. "What's up?"

"nothing." He said coldly, turning away from her. He didn't know why he chose to do that, but he did. Nina could only stare at him, curiosity filling her core.

"What's-" Nina began to ask, but Mark quickly got up and walked away, not sparing a glance at the poor girl. Nina watched Mark leave, feeling hurt about his attitude towards her. But she sighed, getting up, and going to get some food.

Throughout each episode they filmed together, it seemed like Mark was ignoring her more and more. He'd play a nice act for the camera, but once it shy'd away from the two, he'd go back to his cold demeanor he started on the 3rd episode. Everyone on the crew noticed it, but didn't want to say anything.

Right now, everyone was on break for lunch, so Nina wanted to try to get Mark to warm up to her. She walked over to him and sat with him, eating her lunch in piece.

"What do you want?" Mark rolled his eyes, but Nina tried to act nice.

Tried.

"I just want to be your friend, Mark. Is that too much to ask for?" She asked.

"Yup." Mark popped the 'P', Nina finally having enough.

"God! You're such a Prick! I can't wait to finish this filming so I can never see you again!"Nina yelled, throwing her lunch away and running off. Mark felt his heart sink low in his chest. He didn't mean to act so cold to Nina, but he felt as though, if he did, the feelings he had for her would go away.

They didn't, not by a long shot. They only grew everyday. And everyday, his heart hurt more and more as he continued to be rude to her. Mark sighed, throwing his own food away, before walking out with his hands in his pockets.

I'm going to make this right...somehow.

It was finally the last episode, and the two were going to say goodbye, where they first met at the Skating Rink. Nina felt excited to finally be leaving the show, but her heart clenched when she thought about not being able to see Mark. Although he was a huge asshole to her, she still couldn't help but develop feelings for his on-screen character.
"Nina.." Mark said, pausing them from ice skating. Nina looked at him with a raised brow, then blushed as Mark grabbed both of her hands, making her turn to him fully as they stood on the ice.
"I know this is the last time I'll most likely see you again, but I want to tell you anyway. Throughout this whole show, I developed feelings for you, inside and outside of the show. I saw how amazing you were, how kind you were, and how generous you were. I just wish I had acted better around you so you could see that I'm a nice person, too. So, I was wondering," Mark cleared his throat, trying not to pay attention to Nina, but his eyes wandered towards hers and he got lost in his own thought. Her beautiful irises gleamed amazingly in the light, happiness and love filling them to the brim.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying..?" Nina asked, a smile forming on to her face.
"I hope you know what I'm saying because I lost my thought looking into your eyes." He blurted, causing Nina to laugh. She squeezed his hands with excitement, before nodding.
"Yes, I'll be your girlfriend. In real life, that is." Mark couldn't help but hug Nina tightly, repeating "Thank you" over and over again. Nina squealed, falling on to the ice with Mark. The two looked at each other and continued laughing together, the crew slightly aweing at the cute scene.

"You still owe me for all of those times, Mark."
"How does dinner sound?"
"How about take out and a movie marathon?"
"Deal."
