It’s Yuta’s stupid Halloween party, where everyone’s drunk, loud, and against someone they shouldn’t be. You’re supposed to be mad at Mark for being late, but one look at him in that costume and you forget why. The air hums between every touch you share. One drink turns into two, a glance turns into a kiss, and before you know it, you’re both falling. Fast.
The scent of alcohol filled my nose and the sounds of cheering and laughing filled my ears. Everyone was having fun. Was I? Not at all.
I didn't hate Halloween I just hated parties. But Yuta practically forced me and Mark to attend. And here I as waiting for Mark. Having to fall witness to strangers practically fucking on the dancefloor.
I just sat there alone while everyone else was enjoying their time, looking at my phone. I send another text.

Where are you?

Markie:

Late, he was late again. I sigh pissed.
"Lee minhuung I'm so going to kill you" I look around already nervous due to my costume. We were supposed to be silk and spiderman. And that costume is very… tight.
Now I'm alone and way too sober to deal with anything or anyone. Just to my luck Jaemin comes up.
“No show from your little boyfriend?” If the second half of my costume being late wasn’t pissing me off then this definitely was the cherry on top.
“Save it Jaemin, he’s not my boyfriend” I adjusted my costume and didn’t miss the scan he did over me, his annoying face I despised giving me a shiver of disgust.
“You know it’s not to late too come home with me” I stand about to say something and miraculously Mark walks in. He was in costume and damn did he look hot.
His suit clung perfectly, his hair a little messy like he’d just swung in from saving the city. The sight made heat curl low in my stomach. As he walked up with his little grin that made me squeeze my thighs together.
“You stealing my partner Jaem?” Mark interrupted and jaemin smiled annoyed Mark was here “Never I was just mingling, carry on” he walked off and Mark came near me and I sigh.
“Y/n ple-“ I cut him off holding up my hand.
“An hour late?” I look at him as he scratches the back of his neck. “I’m sorry I-“ I stop him.
“We planned this mark I’ve been here for an hour or more waiting, you know I can’t stand parties,” I give him a hurt face.
He places his hands on my shoulders and looked at me, “Hey hey please don’t be mad at me, I hate you being mad at me.” he looked down at me, making me gulp, and I looked at him.
“I can’t stand my princess all mad at me” he tilts his head. I keep my gaze serious, well attempting to.
“Pretty please?” His puppy eyes tug at my heart, “Fine” I cave and sigh.
“Great I’ll get us some drinks!” He smiles at me and heads to get drinks for us. I sat on the counter waiting trying to fight the urge to jump his bones.
I noticed a few girls’ eyes following him. Rolling mine, I got up and slipped between them, looping my arm around his.
“You’re taking forever” I lean on him and look up all lovey.
He laughed and pat my head, “Just one second, okay, princess?”
I nodded and he continued, I turned and gave the girls a sweet smile as they stood defeated. Mark was mine.
The night slowly fades into a somewhat enjoyable environment with mark and I smile as we take some drinks and greet people.
After a few drinks I was at my limit, I sat on the couch while he lounged on a beanbag, due to it being a bit crowded. He had his drink in hand, scanning the room. I couldn’t stop watching him. He looked so damn hot.
“You think yutas already getting lucky?” He breaks the silence.
“Yutas whole point of having a party on Halloween was to get lucky” I giggle and Mark chuckles. He sips again and I look at him as he’s not paying attention, my mind drifting.
Does he have anything on under? Is the costume padded? Are those… his abs?
After daydreaming I look at his chest, I look at his face to see him looking at me already, scanning how Silk's web costume looks on me. We make eye contact, and he sips slowly leaning into the bean bag . I watch his neck as he swallows, watching his adam’s apple move up and down. He grins and spreads his legs a bit.
Fuck
Many drunk people later a spot next to me opens, and he gets up. My breath froze as I feel his weight on the couch with me as he sits.
The atmosphere was darker, and everyone was either black out drunk or shoving their tongues down someone’s throat.
I caught the scent of his cologne warm, clean, a little musky, with the faintest hint of alcohol. It wrapped around me, almost dizzying. The light casted purple hues along his face highlighting his features.
“Are you enjoying this?” I feel his breath graze my hair, making me gulp.
“What?” I look at him and he smiles a bit tipsy, making my heart jump from how close he was.
“The party,” he says. I nod, “Oh yes”.
“I’m not,” he says, looking at me.
“Why?” I look at him, and he smiles at me as he leans back on the couch, putting an arm behind me.
"I'd rather be at my place watching TV with you," he says, looking down at me.
My eyes meet his. I watch his chest rises and falls in my peripheral vision, mine almost imitating his. The cup in my hand forgotten, only remembered once I felt beads of liquid drip. As if it was reflex Mark grabs a napkin and wipes my hand, "Careful there princess, you're dripping" he said huskily.
No kidding
The party noise faded as we looked at each other, neither of us speaking. The heat between my legs growing just from him touching my skin. His thumb brushed the edge of my sleeve before he caught himself and leaned back again, exhaling slowly.
"Such pretty skin… such a pretty girl." He caresses my arm making me gasp. I smell the alcohol, and my breath hitches.
"Such a pretty face,'' the music and other conversations fade into background noise. Only this I could focus on was Mark, I needed him so bad.
"You don't even know what you do to me when you do that, it's killing me." He tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers trembling slightly as I take in this angle of him, needing the memory of how he looked in this moment burned into my mind.
"Mark-" he stops me, looking as if he needs to do something.
“God, I’m going crazy,” he breathed out shakily, he grabbed my face and pressed his forehead gently against mine.
I feel my face get rosey. Mark’s eyes flick down, just for a second, then back up to my eyes. His hand tightens into a fist like he’s trying to keep himself in check.
Without thinking, I cover it with my own. The room feels too warm, too close. His hand stills under mine, but he doesn’t pull away. For a moment, neither of us say anything. He just keeps his gaze on me, his eyes filled with a look I can’t explain.
“Mark… please,” I manage to squeeze out, his fingers brushing my cheek like he’s not sure if he’s allowed to.
“Mark…” I say again, softer this time.
“Yeah?” His voice catches a little.
“You’re… way too close,” I say quietly not even moving an inch. He gave a soft, uneven laugh. “You’re not moving away.”
I can feel the shake of his breath against my skin. Neither of us moves. My heart feels like it’s going to jump out of my body and run a marathon.
When he finally leans in, it’s not just a kiss. It’s everything we’ve been holding back for years. Every glance, every yearning moment, every emotion. It’s clumsy and desperate as he slips his hand to the back of my neck, steadying me, and for a second, the whole world stills and suddenly it's just us.
The noise, the lights, even the air disappear. There’s only him. His warmth, his voice, the way my name sounds when he breathes it out between us.
We pull away and look into each other's eyes.
“Fuck I’ve wanted to do that for forever” he pulls me close and sets me on his lap for a second kiss and I gasp.
He grips my waist as I straddle him holding his face. He kisses me as if I will disappear as well. The kiss was filled with love and desperation turning messier and needier as Mark pulled me closer groaning into the kiss, making my hands move into his hair.
"I need to get you home, now," he whines, kissing along my chin, and I let out a soft moan.
I look at his desperate state and he clings to my clothes “Please… I- can’t take it anymore” he continues kissing on my chin and neck.
lowk guys i was really debating posting today’s chapter considering the news about mark being the new ambassador for mcdonald’s. palestine has been a place so dear to my heart for years and i’ve been attending free palestine protests since i was a toddler and now i am 20 years old and to see my ult (since 2016) align with a brand complicit with genocide is really disheartening and downright disappointing. we do not know what goes on behind the scenes in regards to brand deals so we should do our best to educate ourselves on what we can do, most importantly do not engage with any ads from this brand. always put your morals over kpop.
from the river to the sea, palestine will be free 🇵🇸
