Trust | Lee Mark

Chapter 22

I don't care about antis, I don't care about how they think bad about me.

But when they start comparing how undeserving I am of Mark, I just feel like a child all over again.

Not only sad about that, I'm also sad at the fact that Mark might be cheating on me. The image of Mark kissing another girl. The same way that person betrayed me.

My heart tightened so badly at that thought, but tears wouldn't appear in my eyes.

"We should get going, it's already 9:55 pm. The cafe would be closing down soon."

And so those two girls left the cafe, leaving me sitting alone inside the cafe.

The barista started cleaning the cafe as they were about to close. I told them that I needed time for myself and requested them to let me stay here despite their closing time. Since I'm a frequenting customer, they let me stay there but with the lights out except for the one above mine.

Don't worry, it isn't dark in the cafe due to how bright it is outside the building. The cafe's windows face the buildings outside so I don't feel scared.

I don't think I can with how painful it is right now.

I chuckled at that thought. First I had to doubt that he moved on from Herin,  now he might be dating Nancy? 

Would I always have to feel this way if I'm in love with Mark?

I want to trust him, I really do. But in the first place I barely see him, we see each other only a few times every few months. Does this relationship even make sense?

I stared at the lights outside, it really is beautiful.

I'm enjoying this all alone though.

"I'll take you on dates one day when we're free from our parents. You want to go to a place with beautiful night lights right?"

"Hey, please smile, my Eunhye. Why are you so fricking adorable?"

"Sorry, I just don't feel the same anymore. You're just too clingy, it's suffocating."

"Cheat? I just didn't want to break your heart by breaking up with you, I'm not a scumbag who cheats. I just kissed Seohun because I like her, isn't that normal? You're the one who's crazy putting shackles on me."

I took a deep breathe to calm myself down, despite the stinging and aching feeling deep inside. Those old painful memories started flooding into my mind.

Mark isn't that person. Mark isn't that person, he won't hurt you, he won't cheat on you.

I repeated that inside my head over and over again.

"Mark, isn't that your girl over there?"

"What do you mean, hyung? There's no way she would be here are this time."

"I'm pretty sure that's her."

"Mark hyung, I agree with Johnny hyung. That is definitely Eunhye sitting over there."

"What the hell?! Why is she so pale and shivering?! Shit." 

"Go there Mark, our manager left already and there's no one here."

"Eunhye!"

Someone snapped me out of my thoughts.

"M-Mark?" I whispered, confused on why is he here.

"Baby!" Mark immediately hugged me. "Fuck, why is your body shivering more than you usually do when you're cold? It's winter why are you out here at this time without a heater knowing how sensitive you are to the cold?!"
