All the boys said their hi’s yet she smiled so big with her cheeks pink looking at him in admiration. Jeong Yuno.

“Hi! Nice to meet you, I’m y/n ! I look forward to training and working with you” she bowed super exited.

“Well, let’s get ready I’ll pair you with Kim here, he’ll handle you gently” her coach said patting her back gently as he went to speak with the others leaving her with the new said man.

She looked at him, he looked nice… he had a slim figure, gentle hands, a pretty smile and she likes the way his eyes looked at her they seemed to be shining.

“Hi, I’m Doyoung… I’ll be your skating partner for this competition” he stretched his hand enclosing it around hers.

“Hi! Doyoung… I don’t think I’ve seen you in tv before?”

“Ah, yes… I don’t do solo’s, usually I’m a partner skater but this year I’m trying for both!” He smiles gently brushing his hair back.

“Same here! I’m competing for solo and partnering, I didn’t expect to be partnered so quickly… although coach said I needed to pair up” she smiled following him into the skating rink.

He glided softly pulling her by the hand.

She gasped when her skates created light snow, she followed him as the music started playing.

“Wanna follow my lead?”

“Yeah!” She held his warm hands as the music began to play and she followed his pace.

“You’re going amazing, if you need to know what to do you can speak to me” he smiled widely holding her by the waist as they both spin.

She nods gliding herself alongside him as he held her hands locking them to give her a gentle lift following the music.

He smiled laughing loudly at her relaxed expression.

Her heart thumped widely laughing and smiling as her bangs blew gently with the wind. She was more than enjoying it, she wrapped her arms around him as they both spun finishing the music breathing heavily.

Taeyong watched them from a far

“Mmm, in sure he’d certainly fall for her and deep, look! It’s happening”

“I agree coach, she seems to take a liking to Doyoung! I thought you brought her here to meet me!” Jaehyun said sitting beside Taeyong.

“Well, she’s gonna try for solo as well! Teach her well, got it?”

“Will do boss!” Jaehyun hums tying his skates getting on the skating rink.

“Y/n !!!! Im ready! Come let’s show you your routine!” He smiles gliding towards her as she lets go of Doyoung’s hand smiling at him as she turns to face Jae.

“Hello! As you know, my name is yuno but, you can call me Jaehyun my friends call me that” he smiles.

“Hi! I’m Y/N it’s my 9th year figure skating properly with Mr Lee ! Couldn’t be happier for this opportunity”

“Okay! Let’s hit it!”

Jaehyun signals her to follow his steps and move her hands slowly to spin and some new tricks.

She skated around eyes following his lead, wow, did he look like magic. Y/N always thought of Yuno highly, it was her dream to skate and watch him live.

Could, count him being handsome as well.

“You aren’t paying attention !!!” Taeyong shouts from across the rink.

“Sorry Mr Lee!!” She blushed snapping out of her trance as Jaehyun laughed teasing her.

“Don’t you, love the attention out here. huh?” He smiles, his dimples peeking out with his mischievous twinkling eyes.

She laughs even more embarrassed, that her long time crush had his eyes on her. Only her. She felt in cloud 9.

“Okay, I’m gonna show you how to perform a triple axel. Coach Lee has to train you to make the quadruple axel, you will… just believe it! even I haven’t perfected it. But, you’re younger and have more ability clearly” he places his hands on her shoulder blades squeezing them gently in support.

“No! How can you say that… you’re an amazing figure skater” she looks up at him.

“No, I’m good, I’m okay actually, in this team there’s many guys whom are way better than I could ever be”

“That’s not possible, Jaehyun, you’re amazing! The way you glide your feet over here is amazing! How could I say there’s better than you?”

“You say that because you love me,because you’re a fan. Don’t look at me that way, I’m majorly flawed as well” he frowns letting her go.

She looked at him stunned, ‘I guess Mr Lee told him already, how embarrassing’.

“I don’t plan on stalking you… or pressing you on if that’s what you think”

“No, no! I know, I just want you to see, there’s better guys out there than me! For example yuta is pretty amazing have you seen that guy skate?”

“No… I have not”

“Good, watch him skate, he’ll change your opinion. He’s amazing and the other guys are as well! Please pay them good attention, learn a little from each member it’ll do you good in some new set of skills you’ll be amazing if you polish yourself with these dudes seriously” he smiles warmly.

She nods a bit disappointed but going along with it. “ should I go along with the rest of the guys?”

“Yeah, you can go ahead” he hums skating towards the exit as she stays behind skating in laps.

She had wondered and wondered, was she really in here because of this man? Or was it because the truly loved the art of skating.

Few months later

She came as an early bird, she was convinced she’d see him there, y/n wanted to see him skate. She saw everyone else skate but she wanted to see him do his own.

There he was, Doyoung was on the skating rink, hitting loops, axels and spinning to beautifully she could see the art, the pure art he held. These men were talented.

“Good morning! Sorry to interrupt you…”

“Oh! My god! You scared me!” He held a hand over his heart holding onto a bar to keep himself steady.

“I’m sorry! I just came to see you skate alone… since I’ve seen everyone on this team skate”

“How did you know I was here? That interested in me?” He hums watching her.

“Well… yeah, I did ask around about you, I was a bit afraid… you wouldn’t let me watch you”

“Why wouldn’t I? You know, if I seem like I’m mean, excuse me for that, but, I’m not… I’m quite nice, you could’ve asked me I wouldn’t have minded since you will be my partner in competition” he skates to come closer to her.

“I’m sorry, I know.. it’s just- you-“ she grips the bar.

‘How the fuck do I just drop the bomb that I think he’s cute, adorable even and that I wanted to see him skate.’

“Well, you kinda did, out loud” he laughed lightly looking down at her softly.

She turned all colors of pink, her mouth had messed up huh?

“Don’t worry, I’ll take it as a compliment! You’re pretty cute yourself y/n” he smiles.

“Now? Ready to watch?” He steps back going into position.

“Yes!” She stomped and jumped excited, she really loved skating, she was also a bit confused, did she love the way he skated or was it him.

He began skating and gliding over the ice softly, his hair pushed back showing more of his handsome face.

She couldn’t help it, she liked him, secretly. Admired his work even. He was very talented, he was like a good friend to start with… and mostly… just him. Whatever he carried in that big heart of his.

Y/n was always afraid to approach him because she found him cute, not because he was mean, he always left her a little snack and note cheering for her as she left the same to him.

‘Why didn’t I just ask him like a normal person? We know each other but, at the same time, we don’t’

Doyoung doted on her a lot, she was younger than him and tried making conversations, which she always replied to. But this time… this time she let her full heart take over.

Some weeks after they grew closer! They’d stay late, or meet each other early just to converse and cheer each other on.

This one day she stayed back in the skating rink, turning around in circles what song could she choose to practice. What could she pick perfectly for her and Doyoung.

Y/n smiles widely finding the perfect song.

“ excuse me, dear miss, everyone is leaving are you planning to stay?” Doyoung says leaning against the bar, his voice echoing.

Y/N turns her head swerving softly with a song in her head “Do you sing, Doyoung?” She hums smiling as she passes him by.

“Yeah! I do… a little, only when I’m bored” he hums taking off the covers of his skates joining her in the rink.

“ I like this song, Coach Lee used to listen to it a lot and I believe it would be perfectly used for a great number here for the couple thing or even a solo” she stops, finding him facing her, bumping into his chest as she blushes, he laughs holding her.

“Sorry” she takes her phone out of her jacket, taking it off and resting it in the bars, she scrolls through her playlist.

“Found it !” She smiles putting the song and slipping it on her dress pocket tugging his hand.

(Please listen to it 🤭)

She tugged him as he gasped holding onto her small hands tightly.

“ That’s the song?” He chuckles and smiles following along smoothly.

“Yes! I love this song, I use it… in hopes of finding best skills in figure skating” she laughs softly as he tugs her spinning her nodding his head to let him lead as she follows.

He grabs her by the waist holding her Safely spinning her mid air as she giggles hair getting hair on her face softly.

Their skates making soft lines on the freshly pressed rink. Matching his pace she smiles widely just studying him.

"난 너의 곁에 있을게, it’s beautiful life, 너의뒤에 서 있을게”

‘He’s even more handsome up close, could he be?’

He smiles watching her eyes winking at her playfully, grabbing her by the waist spinning her, pulling her closer to him as she freely opened her arms letting him guide her.

“ Beautiful Love, 하늘의 너와 있다면 숨쉬는 것만으로도 좋아”

Doyoung singing to her as he moves her forward telling her to open her arms leading her.

Y/n spins allowing her body to follow the rythm of the song taking flight quickly spinning.

“Beautiful life, beautiful Day 나의 기억해서내가 살텐데”

She spins letting her skirt flowing with the wind at her speed, as he follows her speed.

“ it’s Beautiful life, Beautiful day 너의 기억에서 내가 살텐데. It’s Beautiful life, Beautiful Day 내 곁에서 머물러줘”

Skating and showcasing her smooth moves, to be caught by surprise.

“Are you fine if I pull you to my shoulder and spin you down?”

“We can always try!” She says turning to face him.

He picks her up spinning her lightly, for her to fall into his arms safely, as she spreads her arms later to be taken bridal style spun around and then dipped.

“Beautiful my love, Beautiful your heart, it’s Beautiful Life”

She sings to him motioning a heart laughing, pulling herself up properly.

He laughs watching her shaking his head lightly " keep going! You got it! End it on an axel"

She takes a deep breath gliding backwards taking a left turn jumping, taking off as she turns quickly to land the triple axel.

" YESSS !!!" She smiles widely skating over into Doyoung's arms as he grunts catching her, laughing and smiling widely.

He spins her as she holds onto him tightly. Letting her down, he pulls back a fallen strand on her face.

She holds his forearm and leans on his arm breathing heavily as she laughs loudly with bright pink cheeks.

“You were amazing, I actually like that song as a dancing partnership” he smiles putting his hands on his waist.

She runs her eyes over him looking at his beauty once again, oh boy, I think this was her new interest. Were those freckles? Omg.

“Earth to Y/N” he waves his hand.

“ ah! Sorry, I, um… it’s a good song! I love it too, maybe we could find better steps to add onto it and… we’d make a better routine without free styling” she skates to the exit putting on her covers and onto the lockers.

“I think so too, but it was fun… you looked beautiful… actually” he hums putting on his covers dusting the light snow on his skates.

She got even more shy at his compliment, ‘was he being that direct? oh my lord’.

“I um, I’m… thank you…Doyoung”

“Well, you can call me oppa missy” he smiles teasingly.

“Oppa? But… I’m not to use that term unless you’d…”

“It’s totally fine, you can call me oppa, Doyoung feels too formal unless you’d like something else from me” he turns to face her blowing her hair some flurries that stuck to her hair.

‘There, there it is again’ her heart pounded. This couldn’t be possible, not again.

“ yeah. Ah, oppa… let’s go before coach has me by my ear and I’m extremely hungry!” she smiles walking towards their lockers as she sits down to take her skates off and put her shoes on quickly.

She turns her head to look at Doyoung, wasn't he handsome right? 'He might even be taller than me without me having skates'.

" so, do we catch dinner.. or.. do I take you back to your room because it is... pretty late" he says leaning his head against the lockers watching her intently tying her shoes.

'Taking me to my room? You're moving quickly sir' she bit her bottom lip standing up taping her shoes shimming a bit to adjusted them properly.

" I could, take some dinner but, I believe coach lee sent me a pin, they're in a restaurant eating right now. Unless, you'd like to... just eat with me?..."

' there it was, you're showing interest again. This is confusing, is he being nice, or does he like me, to eat out with me alone?' She thinks.

" well, its up to you if you'd like to join Rowdy guys. Or to actually just enjoy food, I'd prefer option two, I actually like eating my food. Don’t get me wrong, I love talking, but tonight, I prefer to go home" he smiles putting his bag over his shoulder.

'Oh boy, he is interested'

“So?… I prefer home, do you wanna order something and we pick it up on the way to my room? Or yours?” She couldn’t believe he was making this suggestion, yet, she was following to this quickly.

“We can go to my room, unless you’d need to stop, for clothes to take a shower, or if you have clothes in your bag… you can shower in mine” he walks with her.

“I have clothes here, we can order something and head to yours, I hope you don’t mind me using your shower tonight” she blushes and laughs.

“I have no problem with that” he smiles as they walk back scanning their IDs right to their reserved rooms.

She calls asking for a quick order of food making their way to their rooms asking his room number to be delivered to his door as they reach.

“Welcome to my seasonal room! You can leave your shoes here, and here’s some slippers” he smiles softly bending down to take them out and placing them infront of her.

“Thank you, your room is pretty nice!”

“Yeah, I mean, it has a kitchen… and you know just for a person… or two to be here” he hums taking his shoes off slipping his slippers on putting his duffel bag beside his couch.

She watches him and follows “where’s the shower? Because… I’m so disgustingly sweaty, I need a shower asap”

He laughs shaking his head “that door to your left, cupboard has new towels, soap and everything else you can pretty much use… it’s liquid soap I bought it myself”

“Thank you… I’ll be back soon” she grabs her things quickly locking the door behind her letting out a silent squeal covering her mouth.

“Omg, dear lord, what am I doing in a man’s room alone, ALONE! and now to use his stuff? I didn’t think this through” she says fanning her face staring at herself I the mirror.

“I feel like this is so… intimate, okay, shh, let’s take a shower, you’ll be fine, eat, watch a movie and sleep! That’s it, a sleep over you’ll be fine. She takes a deep breath, undressing and getting in the shower quickly looking at his options, reading his bottles.

“Wow, he uses this expensive soft body wash soap? It smells so good…lavender” she opens it smelling it, she turns the bottle in her hand and it falls hard on her foot and then on the floor.

“OH MY FUCK! Fucking MOTHERFUCKER! Fuck that hurt!” She mind bending down to check her now throbbing foot.

A knock comes in “are you okay? Did you fall?” Doyoung voices a bit concerned.

“No, no… I, the body wash fell on my foot I’ll be out in a bit” she groans washing herself feeling more embarrassed that he’s listening everything.

“Okay, I’ll check on you when you come out… call me if you need anything” he turns and leaves.

She whines rolling her head back finishing her shower quickly washing her hair, grabbing the fresh towels to dry herself and her hair. She slips into her black silk pajamas. Good thing she brought these, she might not have to wear the uncomfy bra.

She steps out the shower popping her head out grabbing her bag and dropping it beside his couch. She sits down crossing her legs under her pulling away the silk shirt away from her now hard nipples because of the cold.

“Damn it, should’ve have worn it, bad idea, bad idea” she covers her chest with both arms.

“Are you cold? Need a hoodie? Or a blanket?” He puts the food on the table in front of his couch.

“I no, I’m fine! I’m super hungry”

“Then, why are you hugging yourself if you aren’t cold?”

‘He couldn’t be more stupid, could he?’

“No, I’m not please let’s just eat”

He nods dividing their food and putting something on tv as he keeps an eye on her while she eats. He continues to observe her when she sits back he sees it.

‘That’s why she was covering herself? How cute… that’s why she’s embarrassed? it’s gonna take a whole lot more than that to distract me. Please.

He stands up picking their empty plates getting into his closet quickly to give her a hoodie.

“Next time say, you didn’t wear a bra, I’m not gonna judge you for being comfortable or gonna act all sexual because of, so please, if you still feel uncomfortable wear it” he sits back down crossing his leg over another.

Y/N sits there stunned, not turned on by that? Was he different? Or was he good at respecting boundaries? He’s a different type of breed. Any guy would’ve bulged his eyes over it.

“Thank you… I was a bit embarrassed to say it, considering, we don’t know each other much” she slips on his huge hoodie on her.

“I understand, don’t feel too uncomfortable with me… I won’t do anything to you, I wouldn’t do, nothing you wouldn’t allow me to do” he hums turning his head to look at her.

She blushes “thank you… I… um, I hope you know… I consider this as a little home date”

He blushes startled “don’t worry, I know, if I invited you, it’s because I wanted to know you more, because, we are having a homey date. Just my type” he smiles turning to face her leaning his face on his fist.

She smiles still blushy, looking at him. “I’m sure, many girls have told you how much of a gentleman you are, and how handsome you are”

“Mmm, I’ve gotten both, but, nothing like the way you look at me. Nothing compares”

She laughed at his flirting skills, the guy had experience, what was it to her that she had 0! My god, she couldn’t believe it.

“Well, I for one, never had a boyfriend and much less ever been with a guy alone other than coach Lee…”

“No way! You !? Then you need to be more careful! Never not stay without a bra alone in a guys house. Or room. Ever! Maybe you should go to your room Y/N… I wouldn’t want to take advantage of it”

“I mean, no, please don’t see me as a completely dumb. I have enough of those type of guys that tried to date someone like me, only ending up in see you never. I understand your concern… but, you aren’t exactly much older than me! I’m just a girl without experience, but I know what sex is”

He laughs shaking head and smiles “oh, I know you know, otherwise you wouldn’t have liked me if you were oblivious that’s different. I know we have a 4 year gap.. it’s not much, but you are inexperienced. I wish I wouldn’t have done the things I did back then! Please don’t be me”

“What exactly did you do sir Kim? Because as far as I know, I think you’re doing great”

“Well… I made a lot of crazy mistakes before getting into my life of skating and not having as much sex and crazy shit as I used to with 127”

“Oh, fuck! Seriously? That crazy?”

“Oh yeah, I’d like about 10 years ago, we’d be jumping with girls left and right just for fun. I would fuck not many, don’t worry… I actually like dating and I’m serious. I don’t date just to fuck around. But, I did hook up in one night stands while being single. I’ve only had like 3 serious relationships in my life. And like, 10 one night stands”

“THATS fucking crazy, who are those girls? Are they prettier than me? Were they good? 13 girls? Now I kinda wanna do one night stands!”

“No, no no! We are not doing that, I mean no, you aren’t doing that. Look, one night stands aren’t that great, you can actually be banging an asshole and you, being a virgin… I’m sure, it wouldn’t feel nice if someone douchebag fucked you and left you there and he’d be gone in the next minute or two”

She nods “it is true… that kinda sounds awful”

“Yeah, well, guys are mostly assholes but, I wouldn’t be surprised”

“Do you know why I’m saying this? Do you know why I know? I once hooked up with a girl… she was a virgin but she never told me, she was the second person I’d hook up with after the breakup with my girlfriend. I did the unspeakable, I left her, I was embarrassed, because I didn’t know, she cried and I didn’t know how to approach her, I was only 18 that time… I didn’t know how to apologize, till I found her later i did caught up to her and I did apologize. She quoted it ‘it wasn’t that bad Kim, I just cried because I didn’t give myself to the boy I loved, I gave myself to you. But that’s the past, it stays that way’”

“ well, I guess in that time you were that douchebag” she laughs “but, you learned what it means to treasure something as so, not every man knows, I’m sure, you are close to your mom. Shows how you ended up apologizing because you respect women”

“How did you know”

“I have physic powers, ooooo” she wiggles her hands in his face giggling.

He rolls his eyes flicking her forehead

“Ow! Fuck!”

“Shush! Let me continue, anyways, the story is, don’t be alone with douchebags that will fuck at any chance they get without permission and have 0 self control. And please, never go out alone as well, times have changed”

“Why do you talk as if you were my father? Your only 29!” She laughs poking him teasingly.

“Stop stop! Stop! No no!” He laughs ticklish.

She finds his ticklish spots making him kick his feet everywhere ending on top of him.

She laughs and sits on top of him tired, staring down at him with his disheveled hair.

Doyoung hums staring up at her breathing heavily propping his head on a pillow completely relaxed. He looks at her eyes looking for permission, as she nods he runs his hands softly over her thighs resting his hands on her hips.

She leans forward to peck his lips softly.

He hums softly slipping his hand under her shirt caressing her lower back.

“Your lips and freckles are so pretty Doyoung… I think I’d love them along with the owner of them very easily” she smiles looking into his eyes.

“Stop saying those things…. I don’t think I’m supposed to date a skating partner…or to like her as much as you” he looks at her softly pulling her down to properly kiss her softly by tugging her bottom lip.

She gasps responding to his kiss she hovers over him kissing him back as he pulls her flush against his body.

Suddenly someone rings the door bell

“Hello!! Doyoung?! Have you seen y/n? She’s not in her room!”

They both stare at each other giving eachother one last kiss. She gets off him, as she follows behind, but goes back, deciding to stay seated.

She thinks, ‘dear lord, the earful I’ll receive from Lee’.

“Doyoung! Took you long enough! Do you know where she is? She never came in the company dinner, I know you avoid these because you like going to bed right after but- what are you doing here?” He says stunned to see her disheveled siting in the couch.

“Hi coach lee… we um…”

“We’re on a date! A home date to be exact, I just invited her over to eat and watch a movie” Doyoung hums looking down at her as she looks up at him blushing.

“Yeah, we- we are…”

“You know, you could have called me I was concerned, BOTH of you. I don’t care if you bang or not. But please let me know, you’re the only woman in this team under my care and I can’t have you wondering alone” he sighs.

“You almost gave me a heart attack when I didn’t find you, thought something happened to you at the rink. At least Doyoung stayed back, next time dude, call me ? I’m still responsible for her” he sighs slapping Doyoung on the chest.

“Since, you interrupted us please leave kind sir” Doyoung said lightly annoyed.

“Ok ok! Jesus, goodnight guys, practice tomorrow at 9am don’t be late I mean it I’ll drag you out of bed, even if I have to cover my eyes”

“Won’t be necessary” Doyoung closes the door behind Taeyong, locking it as he lets out a big sigh.

“We were so, good… and he came in to cock block me!” He cried out throwing himself in his bed.

She laughs “well, I thought you promised you wouldn’t have me without my permission”

She stands up going to brush her teeth quickly as he follows and quickly after right into bed.

“I wouldn’t do it… but, just a little taste of you… and how soft and gentle you are… I’d like to kiss you and have you close all day” he hums pulling her to bed with him wrapping his arms around her.

“I like you a lot doyoung… I hope I get to see you often… out of our competition, I want to continue seeing you” she sighs against his chest softly.

“Move to Korea… you’re basically here for months with coach Lee he’d have you permanently! I don’t want to separate from you either” he massages her scalp gently.

“I’ll think about it… I also like it here but seeing you often, makes it better” she leans in kissing him.

He hums kissing her back gently grabbing her by the nape, making her gasp opening her mouth as he slips in his tongue kissing her passionately.

Y/n whines kissing him back trying to fight for dominance. He rolls them over as he hovers over her looking down at her.

“Have I told you, how beautiful you look with your disheveled hair? It makes you look even more beautiful… so breath taking” he caresses her face, pecking her lips over and over getting a comfortable spot between her legs.

“I don’t think, you could like me as much as when I see you, I find you as beautiful, handsome, breathtaking as you are” she pulls him down to lay beside her.

“I don’t think I’ll experience a breath as fresh as this one. ever..” he looks at her kissing her hand.

“Doyoung, is that what you say to your every girl?” She smiles widely turning to her side facing him caressing his face.

“No! You’re the only girl I’ve said that to! Cross my heart, I was a crazy man… but I still know what love is”

“Love?…” she blushes.

“Yes… this is the beginning of love… I’d like to properly ask you out… as a girlfriend later on. But, the competition first, but, then again…. No. Girlfriend first… I like you a lot, it’s more than stupid to ask you this after I’ve kissed you multiple times already. But, will you be my girlfriend?”

“Yes! I will be, dear boyfriend, I better not hear from others, or any other girls for that matter, I’m very jealous”

“Oh boy…” he kisses her softly. “You don’t need to worry, I like you, and you only. There’s no space for another girl”

She hums hugging him, soon after they both fall into dream land safely entwined together.

Thank you for reading!!! Hihih there’s a part two! Please leave me your suggestions on what should happen next in part 2 ! 🤧🤭 excuse me if there’s typos😅

...

Light, cautious taps on your shoulder caused you to jolt up from your resting position. Sensing a new presence, you turned your attention to your right, as you curiously removed your earbuds from your ear. 

In front of you stood a decently tall, lean man with dark cropped hair, covered by a dark navy baseball cap. Fiddling with his backpack straps, he had an apologetic expression on his face. “Hey, sorry to bother you, but do you mind if I sit there?” pointing to the empty space next to you. “There aren’t any other available seats.”

Slightly flustered by the sudden request, your eyes widened. “No problem, I don’t mind,” you quickly replied. “Let me move my things real quick.” 

After you removed your backpack from the chair, Mark dropped his bag over the edge of the table and sat down. “Thanks.”

“Hey, I’m Mark by the way,” he said quietly as he extended a hand toward you with a lopsided smile on his face.

Giving him a small smile in return, you gently shook his hand. “Hi Mark, I’m Y/n.”

Your introductions were cut short after the professor entered the lecture room and began introducing the himself, and the course topics.

As the lecture progressed, you noticed how fidgety your new seatmate was, twirling his pens between his fingers, or occasionally tapping his fingers on the desk to a light beat. You found his antics to be pretty charming.

Halfway through the lecture, the professor decided to hold a short break.

As you were writing down the last few points from the presentation, Mark turned to you. “So, what major are you in?”

“Biology.” you replied, as you fiddled with the pen in your hands.

“Really? What’s a bio major doing in a basic class like this?”

“I saved this class to take with a friend, but she bailed on me,” you said with a light laugh.

“Whaaat, how did that happen?”

“Her schedule got messed up, so she switched out last minute.”

Curious as to why he went silent, you turned to look at Mark.

With wide eyes, he said, “I think she’s the person who opened up a spot for me in this class.”

“Really? That’d be kind of funny,” you replied with a laugh.

“What? Noo I feel bad! You could have enjoyed this class with your friend.”

“It couldn’t be helped. Plus, I got to meet you,” you said with a smile.

Before he could reply, the professor resumed his lecture and started up his presentation once again.

...

Mark was glad the professor had stolen your attention from him after that exchange because Mark could feel his face and ears heat up.

“How could she say that so easily?” he thought.

It was hard for Mark to focus on taking notes because he was constantly fighting the urge to steal glances at his pretty seatmate.

Mark internally groaned as he held is face in his hands.

“Why am I acting like this?” he wondered. “It’s not like I haven’t dated anyone before.”

“I… didnt mean to interrupt, I don’t wanna make you feel pressured to sit here with a stranger” she sipped her hot cocoa humming at the warmth coating her throat.

“Well I- i don’t mind actually, I just wanted some clarity I’ve been you know… not too good” he hums adjusting his scarf.

She frowned “would it be too prying if I asked? I’m not too good in… well confiding well but, I try to express myself as much as possible… sometimes life sucks.. as well as heartaches too”

“Well, thank you for asking… but would be rude of me to say it if I don’t know you well?…” He turned to look at her.

“Ok, you’re right. Got it Mr, could you at least tell me your name?”

“My name is Dongyoung… Kim Dongyoung, are you here for vacations or you live here?”

“I… came here for vacations.. so I could explore and feel like, the welcome breath of fresh air you know?”

“I understand, maybe let’s make the best of it? Life is tough that’s all I can say I don’t know yours but… mine isn’t really easy. But I try a lot because I love my job” he shuffled his shoes against the snow lightly.

“Well, it’s good that you love it, bad that your stressed… also, for a singer Mr Kim i don’t know if you do so professionally or not… but you need to cover better or you’ll get sick” she clicks her tongue shaking her head teasingly.

He smiled under the mask lightly laughing “okay, Ms, I still don’t know your name… what’s your name?”

“ im y/ln… it’s nice to meet you Dongyoung”

“Likewise, Y/N” he chuckled breathing in softly checking his phone for the time he had dusted his pants ready to go home.

She had to think quick, she felt an instant click with the man, was she gonna let him go that easy? She couldn’t this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She need to ask. Ask!

“Um… could I perhaps… have your number?… I don’t want a date or anything I just want a friend… just to let you know I don’t wanna come off the wrong way” she blushed.

He studied her pinkish cheeks ‘ oh, she likes me… she looks adorable, I better be careful… but this time I’ll say yes.

He grabs her phone that laid on her gloved covered hands to exchange contacts.

“Please contact me later at night… during the day I’m very busy about that, only free during weekends but… I’ll try my best to connect, you can always write to me I’ll be sure to read them and answer cross my heart” he smiles again waving his hand as he left skipping his way while his shoes crunched in the snow leaving marks.

She sat there with phone in hand, looking at his contact written K Dongyoung. She smiled widely and giggled. She turned her head to look at him her heart warm as she looked at his tracks, it was silly but, she felt warm, comforted… like she found a good friend or someone new to spend Christmas with.

As days went by they contacted and saw each other once in a while, one day he had miraculously contacted her around 7 am fresh she was just awaken to use the restroom.

“Hello?” She answered in a sleepy voice yawning.

“Im sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.. thought you might be awake” a manly voice said through the phone.

That moment she realized that voice belonged to Dongyoung, I think it was the first time speaking by voice.

“Anyways, so… i know we’ve texted about places you have wanted to visit me and my friends are going to a get away week for Christmas in a cabin far from here… you down?”

She sat there stunned and swooned, this man asked her for a trip? Was he already stealing her heart? Did she want it? Yeah maybe.

“I- uh… yeah! I’ll… get ready in a few what time you leave?”

“About an hour?” He chuckles

“Fuck! Let me get my things together then!” She gasped getting all her stuff from what she needed to stay over that place and dressing herself while on the phone with him.

“Are you… a-are you dressing up while speaking to me missy? Hang up! My hands are occupied”

“Guess what? Mine are too! Give me a second I’m done, I’m done!” She breathed heavily putting a beanie on.

He laughed loudly “please don’t do that while I’m listening… I could hear you struggling through it all”

“Well, you could’ve called me yesterday”

“I know, I’m sorry! I was busy, I um.. send me your location so we can pick you up“ he laughs

“Kim! Seriously us? I don’t know them I have bed hair, still!” She cries out embarrassed.

“DONT worry, I haven’t seen you either so get pretty love” he laughed lightly.

“I DONT like you very much friend, bring me a brush your doing my hair. Didn’t you bluff you did hair right?” She pouted packing her chargeable flat iron.

“N-no! I can ask someone to do it for you”

“No excuses, you promised! You dragged me out of bed, are you here yet? I hear so many voices with you”

“Yeah um, so… there’s 8 of us.. with you 9… so… ok fine! You’re so lucky I’m hands free and it’s just us, shut up! You’ll help me do her hair Yong!” He hissed over the phone.

She laughed “ I can help you myself but I need help, the pretty friends like you?”

“Well- we… yeah, it’s them actually”

“So, most of them know, one of them will help. You here?”

“Yup, in the elevator, I’m here with… my other friend Haechan he’s your age and he wanted to see you because he thought I was bluffing about you”

“Well, you’re not I’ll see you then bye!” She hangs up grabbing her last stuff as she gets out facing both men towering over her looking at Doyoung and then the other guy with light brown hair.

“Hi… my name is Donghyuck, you can call me Haechan!” He smiled widely speaking English.

She snorted laughing at how cute he looked she responded.

“Hi, you don’t have to… speak English to me… if you’re comfortable I can speak Korean as well” she smiled as she felt Doyoung tugg the bag off her to go into the elevator.

“Oh, thank god! I was straining my brain”

She laughed loudly leaning on doyoung squeezing his arm lightly.

“Hi friend! You’re quiet! I haven’t seen you in a while” she smiled bumping her shoulder with his arm.

“Well, as you know. I’ve been busy” he looked down at her patting her shoulder as they waited for the lobby and got onto the bus they brought.

Holy hell, all these men were his friends? I cannot believe these are idols I’m hanging out with? Wtf? How tf are they so handsome??

“Hi…” she shyly leaned on doyoung hiding pushing her beanie further down.

“Hi! Nice to meet you! I’m Taeyong welcome! Take a seat” he smiled making way for her as Doyoung placed her bag somewhere else.

“Thank you.. nice to meet you… Omg… doyoung… please… i don’t i… please” she blushes even more holding onto his jacket tugging it.

“Are you okay?” He said gently sitting in a seat beside her.

“ please sit next to me, all of your friends are as pretty as you. When could you… do my hair?”

“I can help… a bit i wouldn’t even trust myself… but I’ll help you a bit”

“Thats okay.. i kinda don’t wanna look this bad right now in between so many handsome men” she blushes letting out a sigh pulling her flat iron taking her hat off.

“Your bed hair is not too bad” he smiles chuckling.

“Yes it is! Not brushed, wait till I brush it it’ll turn super freezy”

“Let’s sit back here” he slips off his jacket to sit at the back with her as she sits down facing the window folding her legs sitting down.

“Thanks Do… you are certainly more kinder than I thought”

“Im kind, but don’t abuse it or I’ll tug your hair” he pulls her hair lightly.

She whines hitting his knee whispering “ stop that… or i might like it, control yourself” she blushes laughing lightly.

His hands freeze as his face turns pink clearing his throat as his other friend keeps an eye on them.

“So, Y/n ! Im Jaehyun, if you’d like we can be friends as well! Doyoung is awfully very gentle with you” he teases doyoung smiling widely his dimples poking out.

She laughs “I- um… he’s gentle with me, but sometimes he forgets I’m not a man! Seriously. He’s annoying at times as well, he’s a great friend overall! I’m glad I’m making new friends in a trip thank you for inviting me as well Jaehyun”

“Sure, we couldn’t wait to meet the girl Doyoung had been speaking about constantly, and no wonder you’re beautiful”

Her face continued to stay red smiling “thank you… you’re very handsome yourself”

“Okay! Stop flirting ! I’m trying to concentrate someone help me, she has so much hair, you were right… you have wavy hair but I can’t” he whines only having brushed half of her hair gently.

“I’ll help, Jae leave them alone” Taeyong says approaching them as Jae leaves to the front.

“Thank you for the help, Yong? Is it okay if I call you that as well?”

“Yeah, I don’t mind ! So, you part I’ll flat iron how’s that?” Doyoung says from the side standing up as they both help her finish the hair.

• sometime later•

“Doooooo! You did great! Thank you Yong!” She smiled widely caressing her hair gently placing it how she likes it.

“You’re welcome, you’re so lucky I like you enough to do that for you… if not.. you’re so lucky Jungwoo didn’t do that” he groans stretching his body and hands.

“You’re welcome, it was fun to actually distract and get to know you and chat for a bit, you said your Chanies age?”

“Yeah! I’m just 27” she smiles leaning back kicking her feet.

Doyoung watches her from the side taking her image in he thought ‘ this woman has been the most easiest going woman I’ve ever met ever! It’s like we fit so well together’.

“Doyoung? KIM Doyoung!” The guy named Yuta snapped his fingers making him snap out of it.

“What’s up with you and that love sick look?” He smirks.

Doyoung groans shushing him as he watched you converse with the rest of the members.

“I think I’m fucked, I actually like her Na…”

“Then go for her! Don’t think about it twice, she’s good to you… not everything flowers how you know or… how you think it might go… maybe it’s love at first sight”

“I think that’s what it is, and I really fucking thought that wasn’t real till I knew her… I do shit i wouldn’t even do for myself, it’s ridiculous” he sighed.

“Ohhhhh you’re love sick already, how long have you known her? And how long is she staying here?”

“We’ve been talking for a month… and she’s staying here for 3 months.. 2 more months and she’s back” he winces letting out a sigh.

“Then take your chance, she’s decent, she likes you… have you told her who you really are?”

“She… yeah, she knows, she just doesn’t like to make other people uncomfortable… the way she found out was because she saw me… well, us.. in a Skin care shopping spree. She asked me, very carefully… and she immediately asked me if she needed and NDA… I said no because I trust Her, it’s just, the way she took it upon herself to do it so she wouldn’t loose touch from me… she doesn’t really care at all about my current, well our status ”

“Seems like she’s special then! Go for it do, this is the perfect time… it’s Christmas I’ll place a mistletoe, kiss her make love to her. Make her yours! Convince her to stay, if she feels like she belongs with you, beside you. Do it. Don’t think about it anymore, we’re not young anymore”

He sighs looking at the way the sun reflects on her face as she laughs and smiles when she catches his eyes she winks and waves at him.

Oh boy, he was in love… he didn’t think this first look first love shit work and much less at his 31 years.

“ hey, so… we’re gonna stop for a quick meal and then head onto the shop, you’d like… super market or fishing with the boys?”

“No… I… with you, I’ll go with you” she says grabbing her jacket.

“Okay then! Let’s go let’s change vans”

They change cars as they head in different directions and they head quickly to the market and buy a quick meal to head to the cabin.

They walked back to the house slowly watching everyone else ahead.

“So… um, I never asked but… do you have a boyfriend?”

“No, I haven’t had one ever” she laughed a bit embarrassed.

“Don’t be embarrassed, I think it’s not too bad to not have found the love of your life yet… it’s pure”

He smiled fondly looking down at her as their feet left marks in the snow.

“ I… I feel like I’m a bit too late for a first love, I’ve always wondered if I’m good to have someone love and care for me the way my family has… that’s why I took this trip… to know myself and.. to see if I found at least a friend and well, I met you casually” she laughed a little blowing her hands to keep them warm she had forgotten her gloves in the car.

He smiled watching her as he thought ‘I’m down so bad, I’m willing to convince her to stay… she’s too precious’ Doyoung waked closer to her holding her small hand in his big ones entwining their fingers to slip them in his pocket.

Y/N’s face turned so red so quickly she had let out a gasp “ D-Dongyoung! Why are you-“

“Because I… I like you, I don’t want you to leave me, and I’m willing to give us a shot… you a shot… I want to convince you to stay here… beside me, please… be my girlfriend” he breathed hardly his heart pounding with his eyes glistening with the snow.

She looked at him in shock and awe, she was smitten, he had already swiped her off her feet the moment they met. In everything he did… he just made himself more loving, more handsome to her eyes.

“I… um…id love to… I like you too… and I would like to stay for you but I’d need time… my whole life is in the other side of the world Doie… I can’t just drop it quickly… will you wait for me? I promise I’ll call you everyday when I’m not here” they both stop as she slips her hand off his wrapping her arms around his waist and under his open coat leaning her head on his chest.

He hums softly hugging her tightly caressing her hair “i would wait for you… I could come see you as well… not every month but I’d try to see you in free time where I have 2 weeks or longer”

“I’d like to visit you too… I promise I’ll come here for you… I wouldn’t want to stay away too far, someone might steal you from me” she pouts squeezing him.

He smiled widely letting out a breathy laugh kissing the side of her head.

Her heart pounded loudly, standing on her tipi toes to kiss the Apple of his cheeks were his pretty freckles laid.

Doyoung using his left hand caressed her softly with his thumb making gentle circles against her cheeks. pressing his nose softly against hers, puffs of breath present in the air as he leaned in to kiss her gently.

She responded kissing him back softly letting out a content sigh against his soft and warm lips.

He kissed her like the most gentle thing he had ever held, with care and love. He sucked her bottom lip letting go of their kiss.

Y/N gasped for air blushing hiding her face In his neck.

“Doyoung!” She said embarrassed.

“What? We kissed so what? I like you… very very much…” he tilts her head leaning in again kissing her once again.

She squealed pecking his lips “I totally didn’t expect to that…” her cheeks were bright pink.

“Don’t you look so pretty with your rosy cheeks mm?” He smiles pecking her lips over and over.

The boys watched them in awe as they actually stood under the mistletoe.

“I told you guys it would work! She loves him! Can’t just let love go in Christmas!” Yuta says from the side.

“Well! I already knew he liked her it was obvious!” Jaehyun said sipping his beer.

“Oh boy is he eating her up, bets anyone, I bet their gonna have sex by the end of the 2nd week here at the cabin!! Place your bets please!” Haechan says holding his hat for them to drop money in.

“Yo! Haechan, don’t do that bro, don’t ruin it… he’s in love, let him have it it’s almost Christmas man. What’s more romantic than kissing under the mistletoe and for snow to fall!” Says mark hitting Haechan with a shoe.

“Shit! Ahh! It’s so cold!” Y/N said as they walked to the porch and into the cabin.

Everyone else laughed quietly while Haechan kept arguing and betting.

“So, um… what do you guys wanna do? Karaoke ? Sleep? Im sure most of us are ready to sleep because it’s cold and frankly my feet fucking hurt and I feel tipsy” taeyong said eating his Pork belly wrap.

“Well, let’s join them… um, im gonna take a quick shower and let’s go sleep in tired as well today has been a good day, but a long one” Said Doyoung while sitting in the chair.

“Well, I’ll take a shower after you all finish if you’d like…”

“No! Ladies first! Don’t worry about it! You get showered and comfy” Taeyong said patting her head.

“Thank you Yong! I’ll be back soon!” She runs to the room grabbing her stuff from the suit case but then later to realize she doesn’t wanna wear a bra, but there’s so many men in here… a hoodie? She thought.

Doyoung came in through “so um, got everything so I can show you? System in here to shower is different”

“Do… I um… who’s gonna sleep with me? Am I gonna sleep alone?”

“Huh? No, your with me, there’s no way id leave you alone or with any of the other guys, plus… I have a new title your boyfriend” he smiles sheepishly.

She laughs softly nodding “yes I know boyfriend, since your a boyfriend because this is totally new to me… can I… sleep without you know”

“You know?? What?” He says confused.

“ without a… bra on?..”

He swallows nodding “yeah, it’s uh… no problem! Just with me. Don’t dare go outside that door without it”

“Okay… then I’m good to go, I’ll sleep in a loose shirt, I feel like I’ll be more comfy” she smiles skipping her way to the bathroom.

Soon after she comes back and finds him already showered.

“Is there another shower?”

“Yeah, I just took a quick” he kisses her forehead quickly bringing her to bed cuddling.

“Are you this clingy?”

“No, I like it once it a while you’ll… get to know that eventually… but since I like you a lot… I want you beside me at all times” he smiles widely kissing her bare shoulder, squeezing her softly.

She shivers at his warm lips kissing her shoulder and up her neck to her collarbone capturing her lips softly.

He hums bringing her closer slipping his tongue caressing it against hers fighting for dominance while holding the back of her neck to direct her more towards him.

She wraps her arm around him running her hands over his fine wide shoulders as he settles between her legs hovering over her.

Doyoung let’s go softly pecking her lips “I don’t think I’d get enough of you” he smiles dropping his weight in one arm getting closer to her body.

“At least wrap us! I’m cold! And did you drink beer?” She shivers her hands moving up to cover her now perky nipples.

His eyes travel down at her holding her chest on her hands. “Yes I did… a bit, Could I lay in your chest for a while?”

“I don’t mind… let me just… pull that thing its cold!” She whines as he pulls the covers over them laying side ways with his face in her chest.

His breath hitched having her this close, he could feel her warm chest through the thin shirt. Her nipples were doing her justice, he was guilty he wanted to ravish her. But not yet.

“Is it… okay if I touch you under your shirt?” He hums softly.

She gulped loudly breathing a bit heavy “ exactly where?”

“I’m just gonna touch your waist and rib cage if that’s okay with you… I don’t want you to like… you can touch me too you know”

“I…if I do tell you to stop… stop please”

“I promise!” He kissed her cheek snaking his warm hand over her waist caressing her curves and under her rib cage where she was warmer.

She whined softly “don’t go further up, I won’t give you free access to my boobs yet!”

“I won’t! I don’t want that!”

“Sweetie, I can feel your extremely heavy bulge in my leg and I’m clearly not stupid” she laughed kissing his cheek.

His face turns red “ I… fine! I won’t deny it… we just began… with time you’ll be all mine I promise!”

She laughs softly “well, I think you’re getting all of this courage by being extremely tipsy! And… clearly you’re not this clingy. You’re loving but not this clingy… although I kinda like it, it suits you”

“I am not tipsy! I will show you my dick to prove to you!”

“Nope NoPE ! Control yourself Mr ! Come sleep, you will realize this tomorrow” she laughs squeezing him.

“Okay, but I think , I think I wanna sleep” he smiles kissing her chest as he goes to sleep right after.

She laughs loudly at his drunk state finding him cute and funny. Who would’ve thought a boyfriend would be this silly. She went ahead to sleep right after.

The following day after that he had apologized for his ridiculous behavior but he had meant the part he wanted her to be his. They had done activities with the rest of boys, they had gotten to try out more of the bf, gf activities. Soon enough it was time to go back to their regular lives, the boys had to prepare for concerts and fan meetings. He might just not see her as often.

“I’ll miss you so much, seriously I’m not joking” he pouts kissing her lips over and over.

“I think we’re both live sick fools, when you have a chance I’ll be able to visit you if that’s okay. I still need to see the man who stole my heart” y/n smiles fixing his bangs gently.

“ you only have 2 more months here with me and… I’ll miss you, you’ll be taking half of me with you. What are you gonna do about that?” He smiles caressing her hair.

“ I’ll be there for you if you ever need me I’m a call away and I’m still here… we’ll be ok! I’ll come back, I can’t go too long without seeing you” she smiles hugging and squeezing him hard.

“See you then baby….” He kisses her forehead leaving her into her apartment.

She watched him go down, she sat down sighing at the thought of leaving she had to make moves fast if she didn’t want to loose him.

That moment her phone rang then she picked up “hey ma! Yeah, I just got back, mmm, so… I uh… yeah, I I have to come back ma. I found the reason to stay… and I don’t think I can leave without doing these things yeah…” she nodded while walking around.

She paced back and forth making amends to get her things moving to come here just for him, she had to begin a long process… she couldn’t change this man. He was insane but, she loved him… yeah, it was crazy but she did.

She never thought she’d end up having the best holiday and end up having met the love of her life.

Haiii !!! Another doie fic wdy guys think? Part 2? 🤭🤭

Thanks for reading!

“Shut up, Haechan.”

Mark’s friends snickered around him. With a lazy grin on his face, Mark decided to try and forget whatever was bothering him as he ate his lunch.

As the large group of boys were strolling down the street after eating, Taeyong turned to face the group.

“Oh yeah, how was registration for you guys?”

A chorus of good’s and fine’s were given as a reply.

Mark froze. His eyes widened as he made a sudden realization. “Oh. My. God.”

Haechan bursted out in laughter as he hit Johnny, tears forming in his eyes.

Half with sympathetic expressions and half laughing, Mark’s group of friends looked back at their poor friend. Sinking down to his knees, Mark groaned as he put his face in his hands.

“I can’t believe he forgot!” Haechan exclaimed as he clutched his torso in laughter.

Mark stood up with a grim expression. “Dude I needed to sign up for a required course too! It’s the last general ed class I have left,” Mark pouted.

With that, the group slowly started to make their way down the street once again, laughing among themselves as Mark miserably lagged behind.

Doyoung slowed to Mark’s pace and put his arm over Marks slumped shoulders in efforts to comfort him. “What was the required course you needed to register for?” he asked.

“Hbs01.”

Doyoung’s eyes widened. “Wait, I think my brother might be the TA for that course this year!”

“Gong-myung hyung?!”

“Yeah,” Doyoung chuckled. “I’ll ask him later if there’s anything he can do.”

“Holy shit, you’re the best Doyoung.”

Doyoung smirked. 

“I know.”

10:47pm

Mark was deep in worrying thoughts as he lay in bed, arms crossed underneath his head when he heard his phone’s ringtone.

“Call from Gong-hyung”

Quickly, Mark answered.

“So someone asked me to benevolently grant you my help?”

"Hyungg, please help mee,” Mark pleaded.

"You just had to miss registration for a class that fills up like hbs01 didn’t you?”

Mark groaned. “Don’t make me feel even worse.”

“The class is packed to the max right now. But I’ll let you know if anyone drops in the first few days.”

"Yes!” Mark pumped his fist in the air, “You’re the best! I love you!”

"Shut the hell up.”

Grinning to himself, Mark set his phone down after ending the call. Sighing, he hoped to himself that he would be able to take this class.

“Bro what. do. you. want.”

“I’m not taking hbs01 with you anymore,” Yeon said quietly.

Your voice softened, “What? Why not?”.

“Admin fucked up my schedule, so my classes got switched up!”

“Fuck...” you said as you slowly sat up.

“I know,” Yeona replied. “This sucks!”

“It’s not your fault, Yeon,” you sighed. “I guess we can go one year without a class together.”

“Yeah, I’m bummed! But, you’ll be fine without me, right y/n? You’re a big girl now,” Yeona cooed, “have a great day at school! I love y– ” 

You hung up the phone and tossed it to your side with a huff. You laid back down again with your eyes closed for a couple minutes before standing up to get ready for school.

8:38am

Thanks to Yeona’s call, you found your way to the lecture hall very early. Still, to your surprise, the room was already full. As you stepped through the door, you noticed the unique dual seating arrangements and the many different faces seated; mingling and chatting with one another, all the students seemed like they had been able to find a seat next to a familiar face. None of the said faces were recognizable to you though; you came to the conclusion that this class was full of underclassman.

“Goddamn overachievers,” you mumbled under your breath, “always gotta be super early and take all the seats”.

Scanning the room, you spotted one empty table towards the back. As you made your way to the table, you were bitterly thinking of how Yeona would’ve been able to be your seat partner if she hadn’t ditched you. With a sigh, you put your bag on the empty seat next to you and sat down.

8:40am

Mark frowned as he tossed and turned in his bed to the sound of his phone’s ringtone. Annoyed, he grabbed it and put the caller on speaker as he sprawled out on his mattress, stretching.

“MARK LEE GET THE HELL UP”

Alarmed, Mark opened his eyes and sat up to look at the caller ID.

“Gong-hyung?”

“I SIGNED YOU UP FOR HBS01 BECAUSE SOME KID DROPPED. GET YOUR ASS TO CLASS RIGHT NOW.”

“Oh shit.” Mark scrambled to stand up and ran to his bathroom to brush his teeth.

Gong-myung shouted directions through the phone as Mark threw some clothes on.

“Got it! Thanks again hyung!”

After ending the chaotic call, Mark grabbed an apple on his way out of his apartment. Running down to his apartment bike rack, Mark quickly unlocked his bike and rode down the street to the university campus. Gong-myung’s instructions rang repeatedly in his head like a chant:

“NORTHSIDE CAMPUS. BUILDING E. ROOM NUMBER 127.” 

After making his stop at the uni bike rack, Mark ran to find his class. Hunched over catching his breath, Mark stood in front of a door that read, “Building E, Rm. 127″. Mark glanced at his wristwatch for the time, 

“8:55am”

Proudly smiling to himself, Mark opened the lecture hall door.
