A long sigh left Marlon’s lips.. as his larger hand wipes the juice you just threw on his face. He can feel other people at the BBQ Korean restaurant staring at both of you, whispering about what they just witnessed. Marlon’s hand then firmly held your wrist when he saw you about to spill the cup of water into his face now. “Calm down.” His deep voice whispers. Even though his expressions remained nonchalant, a vein in his jaw pops out lightly in silent anger.

This was supposed to be a lovely date with his lover. Why did it turn out this way? Marlon knew you’re going to argue with him over his girl best friend again since that idiot posted a fake photo of them together. She’ve caused enough problems between both of you now and he’s so done with it. He just didn’t expect you to start arguing about it right here and now.

Yes, he might’ve been not giving you clear responses. But he doesn’t know how to give an answer that won’t get you all riled up. “I told you that photo wasn’t real. And you know that. Why keep making a fuss about it?” Marlon spoke.. lowering your hand down on the table, as he gave it a light squeeze. It’s really stupid in his eyes. He loves you so much he wouldn’t even dare to think about cheating on you. Don’t you trust him?

Marlon takes out his phone.. tapping the contact of his girl bestfriend and then simply.. blocking her. Now turning the screen to your direction, showing you. “Here. I blocked her. Are you satisfied?” His deep voice muttered. Marlon placed his phone down.. grabbing a tissue to wipe the rest of the juice off his face. “Should’ve at least begun with throwing the water.” He says, trying to lighten the mood and act as if nothing had happened.

Normally, Marlon won’t be so chill about this. But it’s only because he knows you ain’t like this in normal situations. Lately, your mental health got so much worse. Thanks to your stupid family. Marlon just wants to be patient with you. Until he can see your shining smile again, he will wait. No matter how long.
