Chapter 17: Friends
“You’re not wrong.” Mark said.
Mark, why are you doing this to me? You’re always giving my heart pains.
I saw Mark carrying two stuffed toys, Patrick and Peter Pan. He smiled at gave it to me.
“What’s with all these stuffs?” I asked. “The chocolate, the flowers and these stuffed toys”
Did he know that today is my birthday? But if he knows, why would he give me these things? And, who told him?
“Maybe now, you should start celebrating your birthday.” Mark said.
Jinyoung! Yeah right. He’s the only one who knows my birthday. Oh no Jinyoungie, you’re dead. The moment I see your face, I’m going to slap it hard. -_-
“Jr told you? Right? Tsk. That boy” I asked.
He shook his head.
It’s not Jinyoung? Well, then who told him?
“I saw it on your bio-data on top of JYP’s table. I didn’t mean to look at it. I told Jinyoung that today is your birthday that’s why he knows.” Mark said.
“My bio-data?” I said.
“Yeah, you’re bio-data. I’m sorry I looked at it.” Mark said then he walked near the edge of the stage.
He sat down there and asking me to sit beside me.
I smiled at Mark then I sat down on the edge of the stage beside him. Silence covered the place.
*kroo kroo*
“Uhm” we both said.
“You first.” he said.
“Why did you buy these gifts?” I said.
I’m still curious why he bought these things. I want to know, Mark. Tell me.
He smiled, “Remember at the mall? I see it in your eyes that you want those stuffed toys so I bought it for you since it’s your birthday.” he said.
Yeah, you’re right. I really wanted those stuffed toys. It always reminds me of something.
“How sweet of you.” I said. “You still remembered it, huh?” I then smiled while holding Patrick and Peter Pan.
“Annyeong Patrick! Annyeong Peter Pan!” I said while playing with the two stuffed toy.
“You look like a child.” Mark said then pinched my cheeks.
Mark, please stop doing that. I’m falling and falling for you even harder. Please don’t be like that to me. -_-
I gave him a pouting look. He just laughed a bit.
“But uhm, I was just wondering. Why do you like Patrick Star and Peter Pan?” he asked. “You never told it to me before.”
I think about it first. Why do I like them?
“I like Patrick Star because he’s pink and I love pink plus his shape is like a star which always reminds of me of the stars in the sky. Plus he always reminds me that no matter how useless and innocent he is, people still love him. Sometimes, I see myself in him.” I said. “The useless and innocent one”
Mark hit my arms.
“Yah, why are you hitting me?” I said in surprise.
He looked at me with a look quite irritated.
“You’re not useless, not to us.” he said. “Especially not to me.”
The moment he said that phrase, ‘Especially not to me’, I felt like I fell down and he was there to catch me. I’m deeply falling in love with this guy and it breaks my heart. </3
“Maybe for you not, but for that person, I feel so worthless.” I said it coldly.
Mark looked held my head and faced it to him.
“Is that Baldwin you’re talking about?” he asked. “Tsk. I thought you’ve moved on with him”
I shook my head.
“It’s not Baldwin?” he asked.
“Baldwin never made me feel that I’m worthless. To be honest, he was the one who acknowledged my abilities.” I said. “But wait, how did you know Baldwin?” I asked.
“You told us during the truth or dare.” Mark said.
“Oh, I see.” I said.
“If it’s not Baldwin, then who is it?” Mark said.
To remove the pain I’m feeling right now, I just changed the topic.
“And Peter Pan, because he doesn’t want to grow up. That’s what I also want, to never grow up. To stay Forever Young. I understand him why he doesn’t want to grow up. Life is really full of shits.” I added.
“Yah, you haven’t told me who that person is.” Mark said.
“I’m sorry. I can’t tell it to anyone. Not this time. Please don’t make me cry today. It’s my birthday right?” I said.
Mark suddenly sang a song.

“Forever Young, eh?” I asked then I smiled. “I didn’t know you can also sing the vocal’s part. I though you can only rap. Haha. Peace!”
“I trained so hard, so it means I can sing too.” he said. “It’s just that my voice is too deep so I prefer to rap.”
“I know. But your voice is good. I love it.” I said. “Is that your favorite song?”
He nodded, “Yes that’s my favorite song in our latest album. I just remembered it when you said ‘Forever Young’” he said.
Ah yes. I said that about Peter Pan.
“But that song differs from what I mean. That song means you want to stay with someone you like, to stay at that very moment. While what I mean is I want to stay Forever Young like a child. I want to be a child forever. Haha.”
“Do I need to sing it again for you so you will understand what I mean?” he said.
Buffering.. Buffering… My mind is buffering.
Forever Young
You and I, just as we are
Forever Young
Even if time passes by
Forever Young
Forever Young
Woo baby Woo Woo Baby Woo Woo Baby
Forever you’re my shawty
Listen to me baby
Can you hear my heart that says it loves you?
Embrace my sincerity towards you
Just be my side, just like this.
Can you hear my heart that says it loves you?
I immediately looked at him the moment I realized something.
“Yah, what do you mean by that?” I asked. “You love me? Ah no. It’s impossible.”
He smiled. “Not really sure of what I’m feeling towards you right now. It may be so fast but as the song says, ‘Your eyes that saw me for the first time. In them, I saw a number of stars. They were following me in a funny way that day. So, why, on that day…. …Couldn’t I forget about you, in that moment? The day the shining you, came towards me. To me you’re the Best of the Best no one I ever had. I’ll give you a gift, So I won’t regret”
Is he admitting to me that he likes me? Is he? Is he? Tell me.
Should I smile? Should I frown? Why do I feel this way? Why is my heart beating so fast? Is he even serious with it?
Mark, please.
“Jinyoung told us about your love story. He said that you permitted him.” he said.
“Yes, I told him that. Did he tell it to you seriously?” I asked.
He nodded, “As soon as I knew your story, I wanted to hug you. I wanted to comfort you. I wanted to remove all the pain from your heart.”
“That song is not suitable for this case.” I said. “That song means that you love someone, not being pity with them.”
It’s not suitable. You don’t love someone because you pity her or him. It’s not love Mark, it’s just something different from it.
“I want to know you more” he said.
Buffering… Buffering… Buffering…
My heart stopped beating. Wait, what did he say? He wants to know me more? Like for real?
I looked at him, surprised.
“Oh, yeah. You can know me more. Of course, friends should know each other more.” I said.
He stared at me, “Friends?”
He paused for a bit. “Uh, yeah. Friends. We’re friends right? So we should know more about each other.”
I told you, he doesn’t like me. He just wants to know more about me because we’re in one company. He wants to be like Jinyoung, my best friend.
“Of course, we’ll be together in Dream High 3 so we should know more about each other so we will be comfortable with each other.” I said. It breaks my heart.
I thought he’s going to confess that he likes me. But not. I assumed. -_-
“Back to the song, it’s not suitable for this case Mark. Try to understand it more.” I said.
He just smiled, “Well yeah, maybe.”
Why on earth did this guy live? I am very much thankful to his father and mother for making a very handsome guy like this. I’m gonna die. TT_TT
He looked at me.
“Yah, I told you. I can’t manage to look at someone eye-to-eye.” I said while asking him to stop looking at me. But he didn’t. He still continued to look at me.
“Is there something you wanted to say more?” I asked.
“JB’s right.” Mark said.
He smiled at me. That smile. -_-
But what about JB?
“JB?” I asked.
*ring ring*
My phone suddenly rang.
I looked at it.
It is…
It is…
It is…
My mom.
