J.I.N.A.E

I finally graduated college here in Barcelona.

"JINAE!!!" I suddenly heard a familiar person shout.

Before I even looked, she suddenly jumped into my arms.

"Mari!? How did you get here!?" I asked her then she laughed.

"We took a plane, of course." I heard Chenle and I immediately run to him.

"You've grown up so much!" I said, pinching his cheeks.

"Hey! What about us?" Haechan pouted then I ruffled his hair.

"You guys became more handsome~ and Mari became cuter~" I said, hugging Mari.

"Let's eat!" Jeno suddenly start dragging me.

ㅡ

We entered a korean restaurant near us.

"Wah! I haven't eat foods from Korea since then." I said then they chuckled.

"Congratulations for graduating!" They said before we cling our glasses.

"Wah.. I heard the lessons here is hard but wow.." Jaemin said as he count all my awards.

"Nine.. ten.. eleven awards!" Jaemin counted as they all clapped for me.

"You must be the valedictorian then!" Jisung said then I looked down, shyly.

"I am." I said then they clappes for me once again.

"Did you do your make up by yourself? You look really pretty." Renjun asked me then I nodded.

"Thank you~" I said then they chuckled.

"She's so pretty~" Mari pinched my cheeks.

"You curled your hair too!" Chenle caressed my hair.

The sun was already settinv.

I was walking around the beacb here until I felt someone wrap their arms around me.

"W-who are you?" I asked but he won't let go of me.

I tried to escape from his embrace but when I looked back, I froze.

"W-why are.. you h-here?" I start backing away from him.

"Please, let me talk.." He said but I only kept quiet.

"Okay, don't talk.. but let me just tell you this..

Why did you suddenly want to break our friendship?

You decided to break it on the wrong time.

You decided to break it when I was falling for you really hard.

Instead, you left me with Tzuyu, a girl that I don't even know and love.

I confessed but you didn't answer, instead you left without saying.." He looked at me in the eye.

"But why did you do that?" He asked, holding my chin, making me look at his eyes.

He was really serious about this..

"I.. I... I heard Tzuyu likes you so, I decided to help her.

I decided to help her become close to you but I realized that it was hurting me.

Even if it hurts me, I still kept going and decided to end our friendship..

The day you confessed made it hard but I eventually left.

That's my answer. Now, can you please let go of me?" I said, slapping his hands away.

Mark, I still love you but please... just please.. leave me alone.

I tried to walk away from him but he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him.

He suddenly smashed his lips against mine as my eyes widened.

I realized our position and tried to push him but he's too strong.

Whenever the kiss breaks, he would kiss me again.

He's really serious and desperate...

"Mhm-" He made the kiss deeper as his grip on my hands became tighter but not too tight to hurt me.

I eventually gave in as a tear escaped my eyes.

I miss him.. I miss his touch.. I miss his everything..

I miss Mark Lee...

I closed my eyes as the kiss became more passionate and more love was put into it.

We broke the kiss and Mark wiped the tears away from my cheeks.

"I love you.. more than anyone, JinAe." He said, looking at me in the eyes.

I clenched on my jaw as I slightly smack his chest.

"That's not fair.. you had the advantage cause you're a guy..." I said then he held my hand.

He made me look at him as his eyes softened.

"But if you confess first, you'll have the advantage." He smiled a little and I hugged him.

"And you'll accept me, right?" He hugged me back.

"Of course, I will. Now, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked then I chuckled.

"Yes.."

Our lips then met again.

"This time, we'll be holding our own wedding."

"And we'll stay together."
