Way Back Home (Mark Tuan - GOT7 Fanfic)

Chapter 18: Cry

Chapter 18: Cry

It’s my mom. She’s calling. I have to take this call or else I’ll be dead. I stood up.

“Hyung, I just need to take this call.” I said to Mark.

“Sure, I’ll just stay here.” he said.

I smiled at him and went a little far from Mark so he will not be able to hear our conversation.

I guess it will be a long conversation.

“Hello Mom” I said.

Mark’s place

Mark was just sitting there waiting for Rhianne. He looked at his watch.

“It’s already almost half an hour. What is taking her so long?” Mark said. “I’ll go and see her.”

Mark stood up and started to look where Rhianne went. He went backstage but he didn’t found Rhianne. He continued walking and walking until he heard something.

“I’m sorry.”

Mark looked at his left and saw Rhianne in a corner… crying.

Rhianne’s place

“Go home now. Please.” mom said.

I don’t want to go home. Not now. I’m a few steps away from my dreams.

“I’m sorry.” I said and ended our conversation.

I don’t want to make any quarrels with my mom. Today is my birthday and the least I want to have is to be happy for this day.

“Yah, are you fine? Why? What happened?” Mark told me the moment he saw me.

I looked at him and my tears suddenly fall. He immediately hugged me.

“Yah, why? Why are you like that? What is happening?” he asked.

The moment he hugged me was the moment I wanted to cry more. So I’m telling you, don’t ever hug me while I cry because I will cry more.

I don’t know. I wanted to be happy right now but I can’t. I can’t pretend that I’m alright. I can’t pretend that everything is fine. I simply can’t.

The moment I realized Mark was still hugging me. I removed myself from him.

“I’m sorry I wet your shirt.” I told him while I was removing all those tears on my face.

“As long as you’re going to tell me what happened, it’s fine.” he said. “What happened? I never saw you cry like that before.”
