Chapter 30: Special Day

Chapter 30: Special Day

Weeks have passed after the ONE MIC Concert. It’s already September. Time flies so fast. Nothing special really happened. I’m sorry my life is totally boring. -_-

“Eonni! Eonnie eonni!” Yerin keeps shaking me on my bed trying to wake me up.

Ugh. Yerin I’m still sleepy.

“What’s the matter Yerin?” I told her with my eyes barely opening.

“Yah, don’t you know what date is today?” she said.

Today? If I can remember, yesterday was September 3. So today is September 4.

“It’s September 4.” I said coldly.

“You don’t know anything about September 4?” she said.

I shook my head. “What’s with today?”

She hit me a lot.

“Yah!” I said. “What’s wrong?”

I rose up my bed and started to walk to the door leaving Yerin there.

What’s with September 4?

“It’s Mark oppa’s birthday today.” Yerin said.

I stopped. He’s birthday is today? Like, for real?

What kind of fan am I? I don’t know my idol’s birthday. -_- I need to pretend that I know today is Mark’s birthday. But I really don’t know. Sorry. -_-

“I know.” I said.

“Aren’t you going to do something special today?” she asked.

“I haven’t thought about it.” I said. But honestly, I really don’t know.

Pabo Rhianne! You’re such a pabo!

“Well.” Yerin said as if she was asking me to do something.

Yerin stared at me for so long.

“Fine. I get it. I’ll do something for him.” I said.

Yerin smiled and hugged me. “What are you going to do?”

“Can you please let him out of the dorm?” I said.

Yerin looked at me, “Why?”

“I was thinking that I’ll pretend that I do not know that today is Mark’s birthday. You’ll ask him to go with you in some place then I’ll prepare something inside his room.”

Yerin was listening attentively. Haha. So cute. :3

“Then, I’ll text you if I’m done then you’ll bring him home. But not in his room.” I said.

Yerin nodded. “After that, we’ll meet then we’ll talk and he’ll get mad at me because I didn’t greet him a ‘Happy Birthday’ and he’ll enter his room. Voila! The surprise is there.”

I’m really intelligent. I had that idea like right now only?

“Oooh.” Yerin said. “Nice idea. Okay, I’ll go now. Start preparing.”

Yerin went out of my room.

The moment she has shut the door I went back to my bed and covered my mouth with my pillow.

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Why are you like that Rhianne? Why don’t you know that today is Mark’s birthday? What are you going to do now?

*portraits*

Aaaaahhh! I now know. I’ll just give him all of my portraits. I’ll make a huge design on his wall.

Aish. Why the portraits? It’s my collection. -_- Huhuhu. Why did you forget Rhianne? You should’ve prepared something.

I have to call Jinyoung.

I took my phone and called Jinyoung.

*ring**ring*

“Yeoboseyo?” Jinyoung said.

It looks like, he’s still sleeping. I woke him up. -_-

“Did I wake you up?” I said.

“Kinda.” he said. “What’s up?”

“Ooh. I’m sorry. But can I ask you a favor?” I said.

“Sure, what? *yawn*” he said.

I’m sorry Jinyoungie for waking you up. :3

“Today is Mark’s birthday,” I said.

“I know and?” he said.

“Can you let me enter the dorm later? I’ll put a surprise thing in his room. Yerin will make sure that Mark won’t enter the room.” I said.

“Uhm, okay.” Jr said. “I’ll take a look if Mark hyung is still here. I’ll call you later.”

“Yay! Thank you Jinyoungiiieeee.”

Our phone call ended. Then there’s a text message.

From: Peter Pan <3

Hey. I’m going out with Yerin today. Hope you’ll not get jealous. kkkkk. By the way, are you free for tonight? Papa Tuan is asking GOT7 and the others to go to the apartment tonight. We’re going to celebrate a little

Ooh, so it seems like there’s a party going to happen. I replied to his text.

To: Peter Pan <3

It’s fine with me. Have fun! I have nothing to do tonight. I’ll join. By the way, is there an occasion or something? What will we celebrate?

Hahaha. I pretended I didn’t know. But if Yerin did not tell me those things, I really don’t know.

From: Peter Pan <3

You don’t know anything? -_-

I think he’s kinda pissed. Hahaha. Don’t worry Mark. I know it.

To: Peter Pan <3

I’m sorry but I really don’t know. Is there something I should know? J

It took him too long to reply. He’s probably mad.

From: Peter Pan <3

Nothing. I’ll just fetch you later. -_-

Hahaha. He’s mad. My plan is slowly working. *insert evil laugh here*

Now, I just have to prepare the things I’ll need. I started looking for my portraits and looked for some art materials in my bag.

“Ooh.” I said.

Something fell on the ground. What’s this?

I took it.

“A bracelet?” I said. “When did I have this… Aaaaah.”

Suddenly I remembered one thing.

*flashback to the moment when Rhianne is still singing on the streets*

“Great singing Rhianne! Wooooh!” A lot of people screamed after I performed here in the streets of Seoul.

“Thank you everyone! I’ll be here again tomorrow! Hope you’ll come!” I said.

“Of course we will.” they said.

After my performance, people started giving me money. I’ll be able to use this money for my transportation to different entertainments.

“Hey” someone said.

I looked at him. Is it really cold that he has to wear a lot and even cover his face? This man is kinda weird.

“Do you need something?” I said.

“I heard your performance and I would like to give you this.” he handed me a piece of paper. “I always hear you sing.”

“What’s this?” I asked him.

“Open it.” he said.

Just as he said, I opened the paper and saw a bracelet there full of stars. I looked at him.

“Why do you have to give me this? It looks like expensive.” I said trying to give him back the bracelet.

“No, it’s fine. It’s yours. Continue dreaming!” he said then he ran.

“Yah!” I said.

“I wasn’t able to even say thanks to him. Oh well, I’ll just put it…” I said while I was searching for a place to put it. “Ah, I’ll just put it here together with my art materials so I will not lose it.”

*end of flashback*

I again started to wonder who that guy is. Well, I think I’d wear this for now. It looks cute. He told me to continue dreaming. How sweet. Starting now, aside from Mark’s necklace this will also be an important thing for me.

I’ll continue dreaming. I promise.

“Rhianne-a!” Jinyoung shouted while he was knocking on my door.

“Wait a minute!” I said.

I immediately opened the door and saw Jinyoung. I smiled at him.

“Did you do something with Mark hyung?” he asked.

“Why?” I said.

“He went out with Yerin looking very mad.” he said.

“Ow. He’s really mad at me? Haha” I said. “I pretended that I don’t know that today is his birthday.”

“Ow really? It seems like you need a lot of explanation. Haha.” Jinyoung said. “They’re already out. You can go now to the dorms.”

“You think so? Don’t worry I’ll make his birthday so special.” I said.

I went back to my room to get my things.

“Portraits, check. Papers, check. Coloring Pens, check. Everything is ready.” I said.

I brought all those things to Mark’s room. I saw Jackson there smiling in front of his cellphone.

“Annyeong Jackson!” I said.

“Oh Rhianne-a, why are you here?” Jackson said then he saw the things I’m holding. “Ahh, I already know. It’s for Mark, right?”

I nodded. “Yes, it’s for his birthday.”

“So, I’m right.” Jackson said.

“Right about what?” I asked.

“I know that YOU (pointed to me) knew that today is Mark’s birthday. You’re just pretending that you don’t know. Right?” he said.

“Is Mark mad?” I asked.

“He’s definitely disappointed with you.” Jackson said. “But I’m sure after he sees that, he’ll no longer be disappointed.”

Jackson smiled then he stood up, “So how can I help you?”

I think. What can Jackson do to help me?

“Ah, can you just cut tapes for me?” I said.

“Certainly.” Jackson said. “I’ll use my fencing skills with this.”

He said that while doing his fencing pose. He’s really such a joker.

“What’s the connection between fencing and cutting tapes?” I said.

“Nothing.” Jackson said. “Hahahahah. Okay stop. I’ll cut it now.” then he sat down.

Jackson is really a retarded one. How can Mark take Jackson as his roommate? If I’m Mark,

Mark Tuan

Cause of Death: Forgot to breathe due to severe laughing caused by corny jokes

Murderer: Jackson Wang

Hahaha. But I’m not Mark, so it’ll not happen. Hahah.

He started cutting some tapes and I started to arrange the portraits and pictures of Mark. I decided to put a ‘Happy Birthday Mark!’ using these pictures and portraits.

“Are you the one who drew these things?” Jackson asked.

“Oh, yes. I did that when I was in the Philippines. I was so stressed because of our Special Problem so I took a rest and made that.” I said.

“Special Problem? Is there such thing as a special problem? It sounds funny.” Jackson said.

“A special problem is like a thesis. It’s a requirement before we graduate. If we will not be able to finish it, we won’t be able to graduate.” I said.

“Oh. College is definitely tough right?” he asked.

“Definitely. Especially when you don’t want the course you’re taking.” I said.

“Why? What’s your course? And what course do you want?” he asked.

“I am studying Statistics but all I want is to study Music but my parents don’t want. So yeah, I was forced to finish a course I never imagined I’ll be taking.” I said.

“Oooh. I heard that Statistics is difficult.” he said.

“Like totally.” I said. “I still don’t understand why I have to take it.”

I started to put those portraits on the wall when JB entered the room

“Ooh, Rhianne. You’re here.” JB said.

“She’s preparing something for Mark’s birthday.” Jackson said.

“Oh I see.” JB said. “You made all of these?”

“Yeah JB. She’s good right?” Jackson said.

“I also want this on my birthday. Can you give me too?” JB said.

I looked at JB, “Oh? Really? Sure.”

JB smiled at me. “Can I help?” he said.

“Yah JB. I’m already cutting the tapes. You can’t help anymore.” Jackson said.

“I did not say I’m going to cut tapes, I’m just going to help.” JB said.

Jackson smirked at him. Haha. They look like kids. So this is the real got7. Whatever they are showing in their interviews or whatever, it’s the real them. They’re not pretending. That’s why I love them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yerin and Mark

“Oppa, what do you want to eat? I’m going to treat you since it’s your birthday.” Yerin told Mark.

Mark was still not on his mood to talk with anyone. He’s still disappointed with Rhianne. He never knew that Rhianne doesn’t even care to know his birthday.

“I’m not on the mood Yerin. Let’s go back to the dorms.” Mark said.

Yerin told to herself, ‘I can’t let Mark oppa go back there. I’m sure they’re not yet finish. What are you going to do Yerin?’

“Yah!” Yerin said. Then suddenly she slipped. “Kyaaaaak!”

Mark looked at Yerin then immediately helped her.

“Are you alright?” Mark said.

Yerin did not really slip. She just pretended that she slipped so Mark will focus on her not going to the dorms.

“Be careful next time. Let’s go back to the dorms. You can’t walk properly.” Mark said.

Yerin immediately walk fast. “No oppa. I’m fine. Look I can walk normally.”

“Tss.” Mark said.

“Let’s just eat please???” Yerin said as she was giving Mark a pouting look.

“Fine, fine. Let’s eat. But after that we’re going back to the dorms.” Mark said.

Yerin smiled and nodded at Mark. They went to a restaurant nearby.

To: Rhianne Unnie

Unnie! Are you done with your surprise? Oppa really wants to go back there. Reply ASAP!

Yerin texted Rhianne.

“Oppa, the food here tastes good, right?” Yerin said.

Mark just nodded.

*buzz**buzz*

From: Rhianne Unnie

I’m almost done. Just one more picture. J

“At last, it’s almost done.” Yerin said.

“What’s almost done?” Mark asked.

“Ah… Uhm, the food. We’re almost done. We can go back to the dorms.” Yerin said.

‘Stupid Yerin! You were almost caught!’ Yerin said to herself.

After eating they went back to the dorms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GOT7 dorms

Mark entered the dorm.

“Hyung! Happy Birthday! I’ll just give the present later at the party.” Bambam said.

Mark just smiled and then sat down on the couch.

“Hey hyung, you need to go inside your room. Rhi—I mean a lot of gifts from fans were there.” Jinyoung said. Then he looked at Jackson.

“I’ll look at it later.” Mark said as he tried to lay down his body on the couch.

“Are you tired Mark? I think you need to rest at our room.” Jackson said. Then he looked at Jinyoung and JB.

“He’s right Mark. If you want to rest go to your room.” JB added.

Mark rose up. “Why is everybody asking me to enter my room? Can’t I stay here just for a while?”

Mark’s kinda pissed off with them.

JB, Jinyoung and Jackson looked at each other and said all together, “Just enter your room!”

Mark was shocked with them. “Fine!”

Mark went to his room, opened the door and…

*Mark’s Point of view*

Everybody is asking me to enter my room. What’s inside our room? Is there something there that will make me happy? Tss.

Like what they said, I entered our room and…

“Who made this?” I asked them.

JB, Jinyoung and Jackson pretended that they don’t know anything.

I entered the room.

A lot of pictures of myself forming the words, ‘Happy Birthday Mark!’ and a lot of portraits. Only one person can do this,

“Rhianne.” I said.

I went near the wall and stared at every picture and drawing in there. Rhianne’s hand is really very good. She is a very talented one. With her hands, she can play different instruments, she can also bake, she also loves to clean the dorms, and now she can paint and draw.

“Do you like it?” Jackson said.

“Did Rhianne made this?” I asked them.

Jinyoung pointed at something. I looked at it and there’s a message there.

I went near the message and opened it.

To my one and only Peter Pan,

Happy Birthday Mark hyung! I’m sorry if I didn’t greet you this morning. I really planned that I’ll pretend that I don’t know that today is your birthday. I just want to see your reaction. And like I imagined, you were pissed off. It makes me laugh. Haha.

I started to smile at this message. So that’s why she didn’t greet me. What a girl

Know what? I never imagined that this day would come, that I’ll be able to give you these portraits. Before, I was just imagining that I’ll give this to you and now, everything is happening. Dreams really do, come true right?

I’m just so happy that God gave me a person like you. You’re one of a kind. You’re the only person that makes my heart aches. (literally aches) Honestly, I don’t know why my heart aches. Whenever I see you, whenever I’m with you, or whatever, it aches. That may be the reason why I can’t breathe.

Kyaa. I really don’t know what to give you because you have everything so I just decided to give you all these portraits. I hope you’ll like it.

Yeah. I’m not really good in making messages like this. So I think, I’ll just end it here. Happy Birthday again Mark hyung! Wish you all the best especially on your career! Let’s work hard! J

Rhianne

P.S. Peter Pan <3

The last one made me smile more. I’ll always be your Peter Pan.

Does ‘I can’t breathe’ also means ‘I like you’?

I can’t stop smiling. Aaaaah! I’m going to be insane. Rhianne, I’m going to wait for the day that everything is fine and we’ll be together, promise.

Ahhh. Why am I feeling this way? The first time I felt this was before with Wendy. But I think now, it’s happening again, more than I can think of.

“Someone’s so happy right now, I guess. I bet you need to see her.” Jinyoung said.

“You knew all of these?” I asked him.

“Of course.” Jackson said. “Because we’re your friends, Mark”

“And friends love to give surprises.” Jackson and Jinyoung said together. Then both of them laughed.

I’m going to Rhianne.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhianne’s dorm (Rhianne’s Point of view)

To: Best Friend J

Hey! Did Mark saw my surprise already?

I texted Jinyoung. Oooh, my heart beats so fast I don’t know why. -_- I have the feeling that I’ll be having a heart attack a few moments from now.

“Yah unnie, can you please sit down for a while? I’m feeling dizzy with you walking back and forth.” Jimin said.

So I was doing that? -_-

“Oh, sorry.” I said.

I sat down and drank a glass of water.

“Don’t worry unnie. Everything is going to be fine.” Yerin said. “He’ll like it.”

“You sure?” I asked.

Yerin nodded.

I hope Mark liked my gift for him. I literally don’t know what to give to him because he has everything.

From: Best Friend J

At last! Mark entered the room. It took us a long time to ask him enter his room. He doesn’t want to enter before. Currently, he’s reading your message. Aik. I think someone’s going to die in blush. Hahaha

Jinyoung replied that to me. I’ll be having my heart attack. This feeling differs from the moment I gave Baldwin my gifts and confessed my feelings for him. This feeling is more than anything in this world. I don’t know.

Kyaaa! Rhianne! What are you going to do? Should you hide? No. Should you go to Mark. Aaaaaay. I’m going to be insane.

Jimin tapped my back, “Relax unnie.”

I smiled at her. I gave a deep breath and “Okay.”

*knock**knock*

Jimin opened the door and

“Can I talk to the one who made a sweet surprise?”

I looked at the door.

It’s Mark.

------------------------

“Can I talk to the one who made the sweet surprise?” Mark said.

I looked at him. He was smiling so brightly. He’s handsome. Literally, he’s handsome. -_-

“Oh, unnie. Someone’s looking for you. By the way, Happy Birthday oppa.” Jimin said.

“Thanks Jimin.” Mark said.

He then looked at me.

Should I stand up? No. Should I go to him? No. Yes. No. Yes.

Ugh. Just walk Rhianne! Nothing’s going to happen.

“Hi” I said awkwardly.

He then pulled me towards him. Our faces are looking at each other, deeply looking at each other with I guess a few centimeters away from each other. I can see his smile. No, not his smile, his grin. I can see him grinning so happily.

“I didn’t know that you were really this sweet.” Mark said.

I think I’m blushing. I think my face is already turning very red right now.

“You’ll not talk?” he said.

I continued to look at him without saying anything. I’m still mesmerized with his aura.

“I’ll kiss you if you’ll not talk.” Mark said.

He’ll kiss me? Uh-oh.

“Yah, you’ve stolen my first kiss already.” I said loudly.

I realized that the door of our dorm was open.

“You kissed already?” Yerin said.

I looked at her.

“Uh, it’s not what you think Yerin.” I said.

“It’s what you think Yerin.” Mark said. “I kissed her.”

I immediately covered Mark’s mouth and pulled him towards the backstage.

When we arrived at the backstage,

“Yah!” I said.

“I did not say anything.” Mark said.

“So you’re pretending to be innocent.” I said.

He smiled at hugged me.

“Yah, yah, I was just joking. Thanks for making my day. It will be one of the most memorable things that happened with my life.” he said.

I hugged him back. “I’m so happy that I’ve made you happy even once.”

“Even just your existence makes me happy.” he said.

I smiled even more.

“Yah, prepare yourself. We’re going to have a little celebration together our family.” Mark said.

“Our family?” I said.

“Ooh, I mean my family Haha.”

So Mark is considering me as a part of his family already. Hahaha. I’m gonna die.

We went back to our rooms.

“Yah, unnie, why didn’t you tell us that you kissed already.” Yerin said while Jimin is beside her nodding and pretending to be mad.

I hugged the two of them. “I was just shocked with what happen before. I didn’t know what to do. I was frozen. So what will you expect?”

“Yah, yah, we understand.” Jimin said. “But the moment Mark oppa and you became in a relationship, please tell us first. Or are you in a relationship?”

“No, no, no, no.” I immediately told Jimin. “We’re not in a relationship.”

Yerin nodded too. “Yes, tell us first. But I’m praying that you’ll not be in a relationship with him.”

Jimin immediately hit Yerin. “Yah!”

“I was just joking .” Yerin said. She smiled at me. “Tell us huh?”

“Guys, you know, right now, it’s still too early to think about our future.” I said. “But if that happens, if destiny will let it happen, then I’ll tell it to you as soon as that happen.”

“Destiny is not the one who’ll decide if you’re going to be together.” Jimin said. I looked at her.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Destiny has done its part. It already let you and Mark oppa to meet. The one thing left for both of you is to decide to be together.” Jimin said.

Wait, my mind is buffering…

A moment of silence… *kroo* *kroo*

“Oh my gosh, did I just say that?” Jimin said.

We suddenly burst out of laughter.

“Yeah, you said that. I didn’t even know you were a love expert.” Yerin joked.

“So I guess I’ll call Jimin, Ms. Love Expert.” I said.

We all laughed again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuan’s place

So today, I’ll be able to meet Tuan Family formally. I mean, I met them before but not really the one with formal greetings or whatever.

As soon as we arrived to that place, I think it’s an apartment, Mark immediately opened the door.

“Ooh. My boy is here already.” a large voice came from the inside. I bet that is Papa Tuan.

“I brought my friends.” Mark said.

“Let them come in.”

We entered the apartment and we all greeted them.

“You have really kind friends Mark.” a lady said. That must be Mark’s mom.

I saw Mark’s sisters and his younger brother Joey. But even though he’s younger, their height didn’t differ. I hate it. Why am I stuck with my height? -_-

“By the way, Happy birthday son.” Mark’s mom said.

We sat down and I was sitting beside Bambam and Jimin.

“Yah, noona, what do you think about hyung’s family?” Bambam whispered to me

“They’re all tall.” I said.

“Yeah they are. But I’m going to be taller than them. Haha.” Bambam said.

Why is Bambam so cute? Can anybody tell me?

“Oooh, Jackson?” Papa Tuan said. “Hey there!”

They seemed to be so close. They look cute together. Haha.

Papa Tuan started to greet every one of us.

“It seems like there’s a new face here.” Papa Tuan said.

It seems like he was talking about me. I just smiled at him.

“Oh yeah, Papa Tuan, she is Rhianne, JYP’s special trainee and soon to debut too.” Jinyoung said.

“Ooh, I see. Hello there Rhianne.” Papa Tuan said.

I immediately stood up and bowed down to him. Ooh, I’m really starting to adapt Korean culture and I love it. Haha.

“Since everyone is here, why won’t we sing a birthday song?” JB said.

“Yeah! JB is right.” Papa Tuan said. Suddenly he brought out a guitar.

“Anyone who knows how to play the birthday song on the guitar?” Papa Tuan asked.

Everyone started to point at me.

“Ooh, so Rhianne knows how to play the guitar?” Papa Tuan said.

“She’s good at it.” Jackson said.

“Can you please play for us?” Mama Tuan said.

“Sure. It’s my pleasure.” I said.

I held the guitar and started to play the birthday song. Papa Tuan started to lead us in singing. So this is where Mark got his abilities.

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you!

Everyone shouted, “Happy Birthday Mark!”

Mark smiled at us. Then he bowed down. After bowing down, Joey, his younger brother brought the cake.

“Make a wish brother.” he said.

Before making a wish, Mark looked at me then closed his eyes and blew the candles. Haha. I don’t know what to feel.

“Since the blowing of candles is over, we can now eat!” Papa Tuan said.

We started to go to the tables and there were really a lot of foods. It looks like I’m going to eat all of these now. I’m craving for it all.

“Jackson, don’t be shy. Just eat.” Papa Tuan said.

“Don’t mind if I do.” Jackson said then he took a part of the chicken and bit it immediately.

Jackson is really the fun guy here that’s why everyone is noisy. Jackson makes the mood of people up. It’s fun to have Jackson as a friend. About what I said before, I take it back. Haha.

I was sitting beside Mark and Jimin and in front of me was JB. Mark started to put some foods on my plate.

“Eat well.” he said.

I smiled at him. “Thank you for the food. I can manage.” I said as I raise my hand to get the plate he was holding.

“Oh!” Youngjae exclaimed.

“What’s it Youngjae?” Papa Tuan said.

“Ah, it’s just that, I noticed Rhianne’s bracelet.” Youngjae said.

Oh yeah, I was wearing the bracelet the guy on the streets gave me.

“Hyung, it looks like the one we bought before.” Youngjae told it to JB.

I looked at the bracelet.

“Ahy, Youngjae-a, there’s a lot of bracelet like that out there. It’s just that maybe Rhianne had the same one like I bought.” JB said.

“Really but I thought…” Youngjae said. “Uh, yeah. Never mind me”

We again went back to eating. I don’t know but after that conversation, JB started to look for that bracelet always. Is there something with this bracelet?

“You bought that bracelet?” Mark whispered to me.

“Uhh, this? No. I didn’t buy it. Someone gave me this.” I said.

“Who?” he asked.

“Honestly, I don’t know. Someone gave this to me when I was still singing on the streets before and it’s kinda cute so I wore it.” I said. “It suits my hand right?”

Mark just smiled, “Uhh, yes. It suits you.”

I smiled back to Mark.

“Uhm, by the way, I would like to interview the new face here.” Papa Tuan said.

I looked at Papa Tuan, “Uhh, ne” I said.

“How long have you been training?” he asked.

How long was I training?

“Uhm, I started June, if I’m not mistaken. So, it’s about 3 months already.” I said.

“Then you’re going to debut already?” Papa Tuan said.

“Papa Tuan, our Rhianne is really good. Good thing JYP got her as a special trainee.” Jackson said as he was eating the chicken.

“Ooh, not really.” I said.

“Stop being modest Rhianne. You’re really good.” JB said.

I think I’m going to blush. Jackson and JB think I’m good.

“Oooh. I see. But there’s always one question I like to ask girls.” Papa Tuan said.

Mama Tuan tapped Papa Tuan a little and laughed. “Papa Tuan really loves to ask this to girls.” she said.

“Ahy, Papa Tuan, don’t ask her anymore.” Mark said.

“Why? What’s the problem with that?” Papa Tuan said. “Rhianne-a, what are the qualities you’re looking for a boy?”

Oooh. I smiled at him and looked at Mark and Mark was like *facepalm*.

“Uhm, let me see. Actually, I love to be with a guy who makes my heart aches.” I said.

“Aches? Like you want a guy who breaks your heart?” Papa Tuan said.

“Oh, I did not mean that. What I mean is that, I want a guy, who, whenever I see him, it makes my heart aches to the point that I can’t breathe.” I said. “There are times when you see a person, the more you want to be with him, the more pain you feel in your heart.”

Papa Tuan smiled at me. “Does Mark give you heart aches?”

Everybody stared at Mark. “Please.” Mark said.

Papa Tuan laughed, “Okay. What else Rhianne?”

“What else? Uhm, I like guys who know how to play the guitar.” I said.

Papa Tuan looked at Mark.

“Aish. Mark doesn’t know how to play the guitar. I can’t recommend him.” Papa Tuan said.

“Papa” Mark said.

Everybody burst into laughter.

“It’s cute how hyung reacted.” Joey said. “Papa. Hahahaha.”

“Yah Joey.” Mark said.

“It’s fine Mark.” Jackson said.

“Well, who in GOT7 knows how to play the guitar?” Papa Tuan asked.

I don’t know anyone of them who knows how to play the guitar. I know some people, like EXO’s Chanyeol and Lay, Super Junior’s Sungmin, and Jang Geun Suk. But in GOT7? I don’t know.

“JB hyung knows how to play the guitar.” Yugyeom said.

“Oh really? So Rhianne, will you like JB since he knows how to play the guitar.” Papa Tuan said.

“Papa, you should not ask girls that question. It’s too confidential for girls” Mama Tuan said.

Ooh I love you Mama Tuan for saving my life.

“Is that so? Okay.” Papa Tuan said. “Thanks for answering my questions.”

I smiled at Papa Tuan.

“So Mark, start studying how to play the guitar so Rhianne will like you.” Papa Tuan said.

Everybody started teasing us.

We just smiled.

After the very delicious foods, we then have some picture taking. First picture was the family with GOT7. Then the family with us 15&. And lastly, the family picture. When Tuan’s family started to pose and smile, I felt sad. Why isn’t my family like this? Why isn’t we happy like this.

“I’m so proud of my son.” Papa Tuan said. Then he hugged Mark. “I mean, I’m so proud of all my children.”

There’s a pain in my heart. I never heard those words from my parents. They never told me that they’re proud of me. I just faked a smile.

“You fine?” Jinyoung said.

“Ooh, I just remembered my family.” I said.

“You miss them?” he asked.

“Yeah, but somewhat not.” I said.

“You’re really weird.” Jinyoung told me.

I just smiled at him.

The party was over and we were about to go back to the dorms.

Mama Tuan suddenly held my hand.

“You’re really a nice girl.” she said.

“ooh.” that’s the only word I said. I don’t know how to react to what Mama Tuan said.

“Give Mark a chance huh?” she said.

“Oh, by any chance did he tell you about…” I was not yet done speaking when she said something.

“I’m Mark’s mom. He loves to tell me everything about himself. What he wants and who he likes.” she said. “Now, I know the kind of person my son likes.”

I just smiled at Mama Tuan.

“Mama! Aren’t you going to let Rhianne go?” Mark shouted from the van.

“Ooh, sorry my dear. I was just thanking her.” she said.

“Go now.” she told me.

I hugged her and waved goodbye. I ran to the van.

Tuan family is really kind. I don’t know what to feel.
