***** As thought, the restaurant which Mark and the Round Ball of Flesh had come to eat was owned by the Fatty’s parents and this had been their business since the day one of Mark knowing them. The husband has always been the chef while the wife has always been the one who manages the restaurant. As previously shown, the Fatty’s father was a henpecked husband, however, the love between the husband and wife duo had always been the envy of everybody and this has always been Mark’s envy as well. He had always daydreamed about himself and Rebecca having the sort of sweet life some days. Not in sizes, obviously. Mark smiled again. Although this scene was no longer new and it was as old as since the two were known, nobody had ever gotten tired of it. Apart from their delicious meals, the couple had retained most of their customers due to their constant actions. They watched as the Fatty’s father quickly praised his wife to the end of the world before he eventually gained his wife’s
***** After Mark and the Fatty left the restaurant, they returned to the hospital, to drop off the takeout parks that were given to him by the Fatty’s mother so that the contents inside wouldn’t spill all over if he carried it to purchase the dress he intended to. Mark immediately became relieved upon realizing that all the faces of the people who were now in the waiting area were new and nobody recognized him as soon as he and the Fatty got there. Though everybody was animatedly discussing what had happened, even exaggerating everything, Mark was relieved, as he knew that there was no way that the contents in the takeout he was carrying wouldn’t spill if the people had recognized him and had decided to encircle him as they had done the other time. “So, all those had happened?” “Huh.” Mark immediately glanced with confusion at the Fatty when he heard his sudden exclamation after they left the waiting area. “Didn’t you hear what those people were discussing? A young hero togethe
*****From the moment Mark and the Jade beauty stepped out of the ward till they entered a taxi, heads wouldn’t stop turning at them.Everybody who saw them kept wondering where the jade beauty had originated from. All the fellow males were filled to the brim with envy for Mark, mulling over where he managed to get himself the fortune that allowed him to have such a stunning and affluent-looking companion while they remained single or had less impressive girlfriends. Even those with partners couldn't compare their women to Mark's graceful and otherworldly beautiful companion. On the other hand, all the ladies who saw them greatly envy the Jade beauty's appearance but sighed in disappointment, noting Mark's handsome face and figure but poorly chosen attire that revealed his financial struggles.The turning of heads, however, didn’t stop even after Mark and the Jade beauty alighted and entered a taxi.The driver, an elderly man wouldn’t stop glancing at the duo from his rear mir
*****The attendant went blank upon hearing the Jade Beauty’s words, then she became awkward.After a brief moment, however, she hurriedly gave the Jade beauty an apologetic look. “I… I deeply apologize for my behavior, ma’am. I… I had no idea that he…” The attendant gave Mark a judging gaze again, definitely not apologetic to him. “is with you,” she completed.“Please take us to the section for where the dresses of ladies with the size…”Mark watched blankly.He, of course, saw what had just occurred.Mark didn’t know how to feel about it, but since this wasn’t the first time he would be looked down upon and the fact that he was already used to this, Mark decided to ignore the attendant’s attitude toward himself.At first, Mark really wanted to go do his things, but based on the tone with which the jade beauty had communicated with the attendant, he was certain that the jade beauty already knew his mother’s and sister’s size. (A/N: Don’t ask Mark or me. Nobody knows how the Ja
***** “What sort of person is this, really?” The Jade beauty was incredibly curious at this moment, as she walked behind Mark. She could still recall her first thought and impression of Mark that day, first taking him as nothing but a beggar, and then she took him for a scammer. ‘To think he is even rich enough to purchase such an amount worth of dresses without blinking an eye.’ Initially, she believed that Mark would not be able to cover the cost of the dresses and she had deliberately purchased the pricey items. Her hope was that Mark, who had been disregarding and mistreating her for half a day, would seek her assistance. However, the situation took an unexpected turn for her, and she was the one taken aback instead of Mark. The face of the Jade beauty couldn’t help but redden again, recalling this, then she made a mental note to inform her grandfather about this version of Mark once she got home later. Without speaking as far as even a word, both Mark and th
*****“Hum… brother, where is that beautiful sister.”The Fatty suddenly looked around with confusion on his chubby face once Mark was done apologizing profusely to his mother and sister and they had accepted.Mark’s eyes rose at the Fatty and he felt like strangling him upon hearing his question. “You Damned Fatty,” He glared at him, but the Fatty acted as though he didn’t see him.(A/N: The strangle meant in the above contest wasn’t of evil, but of love and in threat amongst brothers and best friends amongst ‘males’. Also, it is harmless and he really wouldn’t strangle his brother.)As Mark had expected. No sooner had the Fatty’s question sounded than his mother and sister shot him question-filled gazes.“What beauty?” Both his mother and sister inquired.As soon as the Fatty heard this, he shot up to his feet with a speed unbefitting of his stature, then resembling a gossiper, he began to exaggerate things, well, that was what Mark thought, at least.“Aunty. If you had seen
*****“I still can’t believe that this dress is merely an imitation of the original. It’s so beautiful and its material… gosh… I’m so in love already.”Looking at his excited sister who wouldn’t stop expressing her incredible joy and satisfaction at her dress while walking beside him with a big smile plastered all over her face, Mark couldn’t help but feel like sobbing.‘What a poor life,’ he moaned bitterly to himself.Not even a single praise was given to him at all, and the slightest one given to him was more of a mockery to him.The reason why Mark thought this was that; he was the one who had forked out the massive amount of money that was used to purchase the dresses, but the jade beauty was the one, instead, receiving the praises for having good eyes to discern great clothes that appeared like ‘original’. Meanwhile, what should have been praise for Mark which ended up being a smack on his face was that he had obviously bought the original dresses, but his sister wouldn’t
***** As it was late evening when most of the people who had come to visit patients in the hospital were departing and those who had come with the intention to stay overnight with their ailing loved ones were arriving, the outside of the massive hospital building was filled with a crowd of people at this moment, however, the initial bursting of noise and murmurs there could no longer be found again right now, instead, the outside was now suffused in profound silence. The mouths of almost everybody were opened with disbelief for a brief period and nobody could speak. This was however until suddenly, Mark’s mother returned to her senses and then she hurriedly dragged both her son and daughter away from the front of the man who was currently kneeling in their front to the side. “Don’t let us block that person’s perspective master from seeing him,” she told her children seriously with an honest tone and voice. Mark couldn’t help but immediately smile wryly upon hearing his mother's ea
