Falling | JAEMIN

Chapter 12

"Hey everyone." Mark said, shyly giving them a wave. "Taeyong hyung essentially covered it all but for the next bit, I'll be looking for artists to help out for my tour. Since I came from Dream, I really want many other students to be apart of it."

"It'll be nice to see you back at the school too." Taeyong said, rubbing Mark's back.

"It's nice to be back." Mark said, smiling back at the headmaster.

Taeyong turned back to the dancers, dismissing them for the night while he went to go catch up with Mark.

Seeing that the others planned on staying for a bit, Yerin decided to stay as well. She looked around for signs of Jisung but realized the boy had already left for the dance floor.

Maybe I should go find Jaemin.

Yerin sent the male a quick text, asking the male where he was before slipping her phone inside her pocket.

The club was packed with people, dancing and chatting over the music blasting through the speakers. Yerin tried to navigate her way through the crowd when she was shoved right into someone's body.

"Sorry." Yerin quickly said but was surprised to see Mark's face.

"It's alright." Mark said with a grin. "It's pretty crowded here, huh?"

Yerin could only nod. Am I really talking to Mark right now?

"You're one of Taeyong's dancers, aren't you?" Mark asked. Once again, all she could do was nod.

Did he recognize me?

"You did well today. I'm excited to see you all dance in class." Mark continued.

Oh my gosh, Mark Lee just complimented me.

"Thanks." Yerin said, finally a word out of her mouth.

Mark was about to say something else when he caught sight of something behind her.

"Oh my gosh, is that who I think it is?" Mark exclaimed with a wide grin on his face but it soon faded.

Yerin turned around to see Jaemin there and his face was anything but happy.

"Mark."

...

Yerin
Hey, where are you?

Jaemin bit his cheek to prevent himself from smiling.

Jaemin
At the bar with Renjun, where are you?

Jaemin looked around, trying to look for Yerim but it was no use. There were too many people.

He heard chatter beside him and saw that Renjun had started a conversation with Jisung.

That's a weird sight to see, Jaemin thought as he got out of his seat, looking around. He checked his phone to see if Yerin had texted back but there was nothing.

Starting to get worried, Jaemin navigated through the crowd of people until finally, he caught sight of the familiar head.

Yerin!

His happiness was short lived though as he soon realized who Yerin was talking too.

"Oh my gosh, is that who I think it is?"

Jaemin simply glared at the male staring at him.

"Mark."
