YuJin's P.O.V

It was after school and I hadn't forgotten about meeting with Mark.

I waited for him at the gate and was watching as all the students piled out. Where is he?

He didn't forget, did he?

I waited for 20 more mins but my legs were soon getting tired from standing around, especially after a long day.

I sighed and turned around, disappointed that he didn't turn up, only to hear someone running towards me and heavily panting.

"W-wait! YuJin!" I turned to see Mark running towards me and my sullen face soon lit up and a smile appeared on my face.

"I thought you stood me up? What happened?" I pouted as we began walking side by side. He swung his arm around my shoulder which made me feel warm. It was just like the old days.

"Sorry, I had to take care of something with the boys" he muttered, his voice low and his gaze towards the floor.

"Mark." I say and his head snaps towards me.

"Please don't do anything that will get you into trouble" I plead with a quiet voice. We may not talk as much but I still care about this dork.

He looks at me as if he was on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry" he blurted out and I looked at him confused

"I'm sorry for leaving you and going off with the rest of the boys. I'm sorry for joining got7 and leaving you alone, I always thought of ways to start speaking to you again but I was scared you'd be angry at me" he confessed.

"I'd never be angry at you, you're always gonna be my best friend whether you like it or not Mark Tuan" I say sassily then flick his head lightly.

We both laugh and he pulls me closer into a hug.

"I'm never gonna leave your side ever again. I promise" he said which makes me smile.

"Arasseo~" I say then look up at him

"Tuannie~" I say, teasing him, he crinkled his nose at the nickname he had always hated.

"Jinnie~" he retorted and stuck his tongue out.

-

We were eating ice cream at the park and it was already getting dark.

I didn't even realise time could go by that fast. I was happy to say the least, it was like we had never distanced, the years of us being separate had disappeared and it felt like we were back where we started.

The two best friends against the world.

I laughed at his impersonation of Mrs Song our English teacher. She was an absolute lunatic and I'm convinced she is genuinely cuckoo.

"Yah, it's getting dark..." I say, I had always been afraid of the dark streets at night and Mark very well knew this.

"Cmon, I'll walk you home" he says but before we can even stand up a faint noise of laughter, chatter and footsteps began drawing closer to us.

I turn around and squint my eyes and try to make out the faces against the dim light of the lamppost.

My eyes widened when I saw Yugyeom, Jackson & JB all walking towards us.

I made out JB's dark eyes, the fact that his eyes didn't even brighten against the light of the lamppost sent an electric chill down my spine.

"Markie!" Jackson said and ran up to us, his eyes then wandered to me and traveled up and down my body.
"Ah, you must be YuJin!" He said in a gentlemanly way and kissed my hand before winking at me.

Mark shoved him back causing Jackson to laugh.
I just stood there dumbfounded.

Yugyeom waved at me with a smile and I waved back. Meanwhile, JB just stood there like an ice block.

"Hyung, something's wrong with the money situation" Yugyeom informs Mark lowly.

"That bastard hasn't paid the money he owes us" JB lowly grits through his teeth causing my breath to hitch and it honestly made me jump a little in fear.

Fuck, he didn't notice did he?

I soon felt his cold gaze on me again and I just looked down before looking back up at Mark.

"Mark?" I say and he looks at me with an apologetic look.

"I promise you, it's nothing that will get me in trouble, but I don't think I can walk you home right now..." he voice trails off and he looks at the boys.

"I'll do it!" Jackson shoots up abruptly causing me to shrug my shoulders and jump up in shock.

He rushes to my side and wraps his arm around my shoulder, I know he's just doing it to tick off Mark so I calm my nerves.

"No!" Mark yells in defence but then realised there's no other choice.

"Jackson Wang, I swear if you try anything on her you're dead meat" Mark said aggressively through his teeth while clutching Jacksons collar.

"Sure" Jackson winked at him cheekily then back at me before he kissed my cheek taking me by surprise. I felt my cheeks burning.

"Hyung~ she's so innocent!" Jackson yelled almost like he was excited causing Yugyeom to chuckle.

"Jackson, you know Mark will murder you right?" I whispered to him as we began walking off before anyone can say anything.

He began lightly laughing,
"Its funny seeing him ticked off and besides, I can't let a beauty like you walk home by yourself" he winked at me and I shook my head.

All of a sudden someone grabs my wrist and yanks me out of Jackson's grasp causing me to gasp, I come face to face with Jaebum, trying to catch my breath after that sudden shock.

"Jackson leave, I'll be walking her home" he said, still fixing his dark mesmerising eyes on me.

I'm not going to lie to you they were captivating, but in an intimidating manner, like I'd have to hold my breath while looking at them.

I heard Jackson mutter some curses before walking away.

I looked down and noticed his hands were around my waist to prevent me from falling but when I looked up at him he released me and I fell down to the cold concrete ground with a thud.

ok, ouch?

I stood up and brushed myself off.

"What are yo-" but before I could say anything he cut me off,
"Shut up and walk"

I walk behind him but his sharp piercing tone startled me,
"Hurry up!"

I gulped nervously and ran up to him.

I constantly turned to him, trying to gather up the courage to ask him something or even say something but I always held back.

"What do you want? That's annoying" he snapped and I looked dead straight ahead.

"N-nothing, m-mianhae" I stuttered.

I cringed at myself, I'm so stupid!

"Don't forget my homework just because you had a little date with Mark" he warned, monotone.

"Yah! It wasn't a date!" I raised my voice, genuinely angry at him for saying that when he was the one that took Mark away from me in the first place.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to me with a menacing glare.

I fucked up didn't I?

He easily towered over me and his jet black eyes stared into my scared ones, he inched closer and closer and I kept on stepping back and without realising backed up onto a wall.

He inched his face closer to mine till our noses were brushing, I could feel his hot breath on my neck

I was scared he could hear my heart beating out of my chest

"Raise your voice one more time. I dare you." He growled lowly, his tone piercing through me.

"I'm just saying, Mark was my best friend and you took him away from me" my voice was barely a whisper and fear ran through me.

"Whatever, you should be used to being lonely" he said emotionless before walking off and leaving me alone in the dark, he didn't even turn around. How can someone be so heartless?

I began replaying the last few minutes in my head as my heart continues to pound in my chest and my mind is clouded.

Why is he doing this?
