Adaleina smiled and left back to the hotel lobby looking for her girls. While Mark was watching Adaleina leave, the rest of the GOT7 members came to see what Mark was doing.

Jackson (*jumps on Mark & says) : who was that ? she looks hot.
Mark (*says without looking even thinking) : yeah, she's pretty.
JB : are you listening to us ?
Mark (*snaps out of it & says) : yeah, i am.
Jr. : was that someone you know ?
Mark : i found a ring earlier and it was hers.
Mark : She came to find it and i happen to give it back.
Youngjae : Hyung, she is really pretty.
Bambam : yeah, how old is she ?
Mark : i dont know.
Yugyeom : you suit her hyung.

The members started to head out into the city walking around looking at the different landscapes. It was already [7PM] and the four girls headed out to eat dinner at this fancy restaurant at the strip. During having dinner together, they started to talk and Adaleina told them about Mark.

Adaleina (*stares on the table thinking about Mark)
Kristin (*to Adaleina) : Who was the person who found your ring Addy ?
Adaleina (*snaps out of her thoughts & says) : huh ?
Kristin : who found your ring ?
Adaleina : this guy found my ring before and he kept it safe for me.
Adaleina : he saw me asking people around the area and approached me.
Adaleina : then he gave it back to me.
Caroline : what did he look like ?
Adaleina : He is really cute in a way but he definitely looked familiar.
Adaleina : i feel like HBA endorsed him or something, he’s really familiar.
Caroline : did you ask him ?
Adaleina : my mind was everywhere and i barely got his number and name.
Aria : why would you do that ?
Adaleina : because i said that i would owe him for finding my ring.
Adaleina : we would contact later on where i should take him.
Aria : and he is not some stranger you just met ?
Adaleina : he doesn’t look like a stranger, he is normal.
Kristin : did he ask you about how important your ring was ?
Adaleina : the funny thing is that he didnt even ask why my ring was important to me.
Adaleina : he didn’t bother to ask at all. its strange.
Kristin : then he’s not that kind of person.
Caroline : what was his name ?
Adaleina : Mark.
Caroline : just Mark ?
Adaleina : Mmmmmhmmm, thats it.
Aria : there has to be a last name to it.
Adaleina (*shakes her head & says) : thats it.
Aria : and you said he was cute ?
Adaleina (*nods her head)

Adaleina, Kristin, Caroline, and Aria continued to have dinner together. After finishing up dinner, they all took a walk around the strip taking pictures of the hotel buildings together. Adaleina couldn’t stop thinking about Mark. After getting back to the hotel, it was late at [11PM]. Kristin took a shower while Aria was washing off her make up. Caroline was sketching designs in her drawing book while Adaleina was looking through her phone on the HBA website. After Kristin and Aria was done prepping for bedtime, it was finally Caroline’s turn. Then it was Adaleina’s turn to wash up. They all went to bed peacefully. While everyone was asleep, Adaleina was still awake couldn’t sleep at all so she turned on her cellphone and decided to text Mark about something. Mark on the other hand was joking around with his members in the hotel room. When a notification sound went on Mark’s phone, he went to grab his phone and looked at it smiling replying back.

[Text]
Adaleina (*lays there in bed & decides to text Mark)
Adaleina : I dont know if you still remember me but we met earlier at the water fountain.
Mark (*flashbacks when he met Adaleina & texts back) : Oh ! You're the ring girl !
Adaleina (*turns her head sideways & texts) : i have a name you know.
Adaleina : did you forget already ? lols.
Mark (*chuckles out loud & texts back) : lols. Adaleina, right ?
Adaleina : wow, you spelled that correctly.
Mark : do many people dont spell your name correctly ?
Adaleina : not everyone who meets me especially those who work at Starbucks.
Adaleina : lols, they always get it wrong. thats why i just go by Addy.
Mark : then i should call you Addy ?
Adaleina : haha, anything is fine with me.
Mark : oh, right. did you need something ?
Adaleina : are you busy now ?
Mark (*looks at his members & texts back) : No, why ?
Adaleina (*texts back) : I’m going to be in front of Paris.
Adaleina (*texts) : if you want, meet me there. if not, then its fine and goodnight.

Adaleina put her phone down and quietly went to change into something comfortable and warm. She grabbed her jacket and purse and headed out quietly leaving the others to sleep. She headed out and stood in front of Paris looking around the city. Mark just stared at his phone and told his members.......

Mark (*to his members) : I’m going out for a little while, i’ll be back.
Mark (*grabs his jacket, wallet, and cellphone)
(*The members looking at him confusingly)
JB : Hyung ! where are you going ?
Mark : don’t wait up, i’ll be back later.
Jackson (*calls Mark back) : Hyung !
Jr. : Are you going to meet that girl ?!?

Mark ignored the members and walked out the hotel to meet Adaleina at Paris. The members sat there looking at each other asking questions.

Bambam : yeah, he definitely went to see that girl.
Yugyeom : i think hyung likes her already.
JB (*to both maknae yelling) : YA ! its late, go to bed.

After scolding everyone to go to bed, they all obeyed and went to bed afterwards. Mark ran to Paris and saw Adaleina standing there in the cold with her scarf up to cover her mouth and smoke was coming out of her mouth. He came towards Adaleina and talked to her for a while.

Mark : Hey.
Adaleina (*looks up at Mark & says) : I thought you werent going to come ?
Mark : i couldnt leave a girl out here in the cold with a million strangers out on the street.
Adaleina : your so kind to think that way. (*smiles)
Mark (*smiles & says) : so whats the plan ?
Adaleina : are you a fan ice cream ?
Mark : i am. dont tell me that you want to go eat at this kind of time.
Adaleina (*laughs & says) : whats wrong with this kind of time ?
Mark : its extremely cold right now to eat ice cream.
Adaleina (*laughs & says) : true but it shouldnt matter because of the weather.
Mark : is that so ?
Adaleina (*nods & says) : come on !
Adaleina (*grabs Mark’s arm & pulls him to the Sugar Factory Store)
Mark (*asks as being pulled) : where are we going ? we’re getting ice cream, are we ?
Adaleina : you guessed right. (*smiles)

Adaleina grabbed Mark's arm into the shop and they went straight to the ice cream part of the shop. They choose their ice cream flavors and grabbed a seat facing the candy machines that were against the wall. They sat there eating their desert and talked to each other and got to know the better.

Mark : so what made you come out at the middle of the night ?
Adaleina : i dont know. i really couldnt sleep.
Adaleina : we got back pretty late from dinner and such.
Mark : we ?
Adaleina : yeah, my 3 best friends and i.
Mark (*looks at Adaleina & jokes) : you were thinking too much about me, were you ?
Adaleina (*chokes on her ice cream & wipes her mouth with a napkin) : no i wasnt.
Adaleina : but i have to admit, you are handsome. (*smiles & continues looking straight)
Adaleina : i told my best friends about you and they said the same thing.
Mark (*smiles & says) : thank you.
Adaleina : dont thank me, thank them. (*laughs)
Mark : your not bad yourself. my members think your really pretty.
Adaleina : do you think so ?
Mark : yeah, i think so.
Adaleina : thanks. you said members ?
Mark : yeah. im in a kpop idol group called GOT7.
Adaleina : thats why you looked so familiar and non Korean.
Mark : so you have heard of us before ?
Adaleina : yeah. you guys ordered from HBA clothing too right ?
Mark (*looks at Adaleina & asks) : how did you know ? do you work for HBA ?
Adaleina (*smiles & says) : im the creator and founder of the HBA company clothing store.
Mark : really ? we love your clothing. its simple and wearable.
Adaleina : i try my very best to deliver the best clothing around the world.
Adaleina : i couldnt do that without the help of my personal assistant Grace.
Mark : Grace ?
Adaleina : yeah, why ?
Mark : i have an older sister name Tammy Tuan.
Mark : she works in your company also as a personal assistant.
Adaleina : Is it Tammy Chung ?
Mark : yeah, thats her.
Adaleina : wow, what a small world.
Mark : ive been home for a couple days and i havent seen her yet.
Adaleina : she's been working really hard lately. im sorry i didnt send her home.
Adaleina : i told her to go home for the holidays.
Mark : then i should see her soon then.
Adaleina : yeah, you should.
Mark : have you seen her daughter yet ? my niece. she is the sweetest thing ever.
Adaleina : she has a daughter ? since when ?
Mark : since she was 21. she was pregnant before i came to Korea to train.
Adaleina : did she get married ?
Mark : No. the guy who she dated long time ago left after hearing that she was pregnant.
Adaleina : was it his baby ?
Mark : yeah.
Adaleina : whats her name ?
Mark : Kaylie.
Mark : she didnt tell you when she was working for you ?
Adaleina : no. i dont know why she didnt tell me.
Mark : i know my sister. maybe she didnt want to expose it.
Mark : or maybe she was afraid she wouldnt get the job because she had a child.
Adaleina : there's nothing wrong with stating the truth.
Mark : thats true.
Mark (*curious & asks) : i was curious about something.
Adaleina : what were you curious about ?
Mark : its about your ring. why was it important to you ?

Adaleina was finished eating her ice-cream and stood up to throw away the trash there. Then she headed out with Mark following her. When they were walking back to the hotel, Adaleina told him about her ring.

Adaleina : the ring was my moms. it was the last thing that she left behind for me.
Mark : where is she now ?
Adaleina : she passed away in a car accident a couple years ago.
Adaleina : that was the same time that i barely started to open HBA.
Mark : im so sorry.
Adaleina : its okay. i understand that things happen.
Mark : do you miss her from time to time ?
Adaleina : a lot of things remind me of her. i think about it all the time.
Adaleina : i dont normally talk about this to anyone and my friends know about it.
Adaleina : thats why they dont ask me very often.
Mark (*jokes around & says) : maybe im special too.
Adaleina (*smiles & says) : maybe.
Mark : so where are you staying ?
Adaleina : we had problems with our booked hotel so they moved us else where.
Mark : where to ?
Adaleina : Venetian Hotel.
Mark (*shocked & asks) : really ?
Adaleina : yeah.
Mark : we are staying there too. which floor do you guys live on ?
Adaleina : The 8th floor.
Mark (*smiles & says) : i think we live on the same floor.
Adaleina (*shocked & asks) : really ?
Mark (*nods his head & says) : really.
Adaleina : then i guess we are going to bump into each other more often.
Mark : i think so. (*smiles)

Adaleina and Mark then got in front of Adaleina's room. She was about to open her door with her room key card, but she wanted to thank Mark for the night before going inside.

Addy : thank you for tonight Mark.
Mark : it was nothing. I had a good time getting to know you.
Addy : so did i.
Mark : if you ever want to hang out again, just give me call okay ?
Addy : i sure will.
Mark : im going back to LA for Christmas but i'll be back here on the 2nd.
Mark : will you still be here ?
Addy : im here until the 4th or 5th.
Mark : thats great then, maybe we can see each other again.
Addy (*smiles & says) : sounds like a plan then.
Mark : it sure is. (*smiles)
Addy : its getting late, you better go. the members will be worried about you.
Mark : you go in first then i'll leave.
Addy : good night Mark. (*smiles)

Addy waved goodbye, opened her room door, and went inside. Mark left back to his room afterwards which was down the hall. After closing her door, Addy leaned against the door having this feeling like she was in love and she kept on smiling too. Then she headed to bed. Before going to bed, she received a text from Mark who on the other hand were laying in his bed about to go to sleep.

[Text]
Mark : Hey Addy.
Addy : Hey Mark.
Mark : I just wanted to thank you again for tonight. It was really fun hanging out together.
Mark : I really havent done that in a while since i debutted. Thank you. Goodnight Addy.
Addy : thank you too. Goodnight Mark.

After talking to him, Addy put her phone on the night stand and went to bed for the night.
