once again ? book 2 of r&j

Xiaojun runs full speed after the girl.

When he makes it out of the building she is long gone. He has no sight on which way she went.

"Fuck!" The boy bangs his fist against a nearby wall as the building door opens.

"Hey man. She texted me that she went back to her dorm.. I would give her some space for right now." Hoshi starts as he tries to put his arm around the other boys shoulder.

Xiaojun pushes him off and nods.

"Just know. It's not you. You aren't the problem.. She is going through her own stuff right now.."

Xiaojun doesn't say anything but walks away from the other boy. His head down, hair covering his face.

Why can't she tell him?

—

(Y/n) was racing with her thoughts and emotions at this point.

This is the fastest she has ever ran.

Meaning, she isn't looking where she was heading, even though her destination was her dorm room.

"HEY! SLOW DOWN!" A frantic voice is heard chasing behind her.

The girl stops herself from running even further. She almost trips but..

The boy that was calling for her caught her.

They meet each other's eyes and both are left stunned.

"(Y/n)?"

"MARK?"

The latter brings her up to her feet and gives her a bone crushing hug.

They stay like that for a few moments. None of them wanting to let go.

"I missed you so much.." Mark says as he leans his head in the girls chest.

"Likewise..."

Mark let's go of the girl and looks her in her eyes.

"B building?"

"How did you know?" (Y/n) asks as she looks down to her feet.

Somehow she feels guilty. Mark never knew the real reason why she left. Only Taeyong and Xiaojun.

"You always talked about how you wanted to be a therapist... You are going to be amazing." Mark replies as he looks at the A building.

"Why were you coming from there?"

"Uhm.. I uh.. Was taking the dance class."

"No way really? I was just on my way to go help out!" Mark says getting hyped.

"Wait... why are you leaving it? It just started.."

The girl freezes.

Why did she leave?

"My stomach was hurting.. heh.."

"Really? Where does it hurt? What made it hurt? Did they make you stretch too much? WHO HURT YOU?" Mark frantically says as he grabs the girls arm leading her to A building.

"M-Mark it's fine.."

"Fine? No it's not. I'm taking you to A building nurse. No buts."
