Love Game

Chapter 14

"If you say so."

The boys headed for the dancing area again and disappeared in the crowd.

"I didn't know that many students come here. Are they always here once a month?" asked Jinyoung, being astonished at the sight of the crowd.

"Yeah, they're always in, every month."

Mark turned to the bartender and ordered two shots of alcohol and gave one to Jinyoung.

"Hey Mark!"

It was the voice of a girl, heard over the music. Both Mark and Jinyoung turned to that direction and were greeted by a girl of their age, with a sexy dress, followed by two other girls of the similar designs.

Jinyoung had no idea who they were but they seemed to know Mark as the leading girl went to Mark's side while the other two came toward him.

"Wanna dance with me?" That girl said seductively to Mark.

"No, not tonight, Hyuna. I'm here with my friend."

She took a glance at Jinyoung and her friends beside him, and smirked.

"He's found his companions. Come on, Mark. I'm free for you tonight."

After that, what Mark said, Jinyoung couldn't hear anymore as the two girls beside him were sitting too close to him and asking him to dance with them.

They took a glance at the bartender, who replied them with a nod and brought them two glasses of liquor.

They must be regular ones here.

"You're hot. Are you Mark's new friend? Mark's already with Hyuna. They're going to dance together, maybe. You also should, with us," one of the girls said, already holding Jinyoung's wrist.

He did not want to dance at all, not with these girls, for sure.

He looked at Mark in hope of getting help but the latter was not paying any attention to him and instead talking with Hyuna, probably flirting.

"Excuse me, I neet to go to the toilet."

He wriggled his hand out of the girl's hold and left the bar counter.

He didn't know where he was going, thinking that it didn't matter as long as he could free himself from those girls and the scene of Mark flirting with Hyuna.

In front of him was the crowded dance floor. There could be toilet at the end of it.

He squeezed into the crowd to get to the toilet.

When Mark turned to Jinyoung, the latter was gone.

He was, the whole time, trying to cut his chatting with Hyuna but she didn't give a chance to. He couldn't even turn back to Jinyoung.

Mark looked around but there was no sign of Jinyoung. There weren't many places to go to. After the bar counter, it was only the dance floor.

"Sorry. I'm going now."

With that, he left Hyuna, ignoring her calling him back.

The rays of the coloured light fell on the people dancing, changing along with their movements.

Under the unstable light, Mark couldn't see faces of the people clearly, making it even more difficult to look for Jinyoung.

He moved forward among the swinging bodies.

Luck was on his side, however. He could recognise Jinyoung's back in the crowd at the flash of light.

He made his way to Jinyoung, who was going forward, and called him. But the younger didn't hear it.

As soon as he could reach Jinyoung, he grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward himself.

Jinyoung was swung around and pressed hard against Mark.

"Mark hyung?"

Mark hugged Jinyoung tightly without saying anything for a while.

When he pulled away, the younger was looking at him.

"Why, why did you leave, Jinyoung ah?"

"You were with Hyuna."

They were so close now and so were their faces. Probably to hear each other well, but Mark's hands were on Jinyoung's shoulders and Jinyoung's hands on Mark's waist.

Their bodies were still pressed close, and their eyes were locked, no one saying anything.

Just a little closer and their noses would come in contact, and that was what Mark did, inching closer to Jinyoung slowly, who did not move at all as if under a spell. But when Mark got too close, Jinyoung closed his eyes, anticipating what was coming next.

But nothing came, instead he heard Mark's 'ah' and when he opened his eyes, he saw Mark was moved to the side a little bit, being bumped against by a guy, who didn't even spare a glance and kept dancing.

"Are you okay?"asked Jinyoung, feeling a little embarrased by the previous situation.

What was he thinking? Maybe he should blame on alcohol.

"I'm okay, Jinyoung ah. Let's get out of here."

Mark held Jinyoung's hand tightly and made a way for themselves to get out.
