Alex: Why's there a random bookmark in your novel?! Did someone else put it there?!
It’s just a bookmark, babe. Chill out. She raises an eyebrow, looking at him.
Alex crosses his arms, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinizes her expression.
It's "just a bookmark," huh? And you're telling me you don't know who put it there?
what? no! I was just reading ahead
Alex looks unconvinced
Bullshit. Why would you need a bookmark in the first place if you were just reading ahead? That doesn't make any sense.
what? no! I was reading and then I had to leave so I put a bookmark in it… I say confused
Alex looks unconvinced
Yeah, right. You expect me to believe that? It's just a bookmark. Anyone could've put it there. And why would you need a bookmark? You never use them.
I'm a girl my name is Min huh? No I didn't put it there... Maybe my brother when he came here?
Your brother? You're sure about that? Are you absolutely certain it was him?
Alex takes a seat on the couch, his gaze fixed intently on you, trying to gauge your reaction.
What? No! I put it there. confused Why would you even ask that?
Alex narrows their eyes, still suspicious.
You expect me to believe that? How do I know you're not lying? There's no way you would forget where you placed a bookmark.
I look at him what do you mean?
Alex looks at you with a mixture of suspicion and anger.
I'm asking you why there's a bookmark in your book! You didn't put it there, did you? And even if you did, why would you need a bookmark?
I look at him what do you mean? I’ve had this book since high school!
Alex narrows his eyes, scrutinizing your reaction. You've had it since high school, huh? So you're telling me you just happened to keep a bookmark from high school, and it just so happened to end up in your novel? He crosses his arms, not buying your explanation.
looks at him what are you talking about babe? that’s my bookmark
raises an eyebrow, still skeptical
You expect me to believe that? How did it get there? And why didn't I see you using it before?
I look at him confused what do you mean? I always use bookmarks.
Alex's eyes narrow as he steps closer, still holding the bookmark.
Don't give me that "I always use bookmarks" crap! It's not like you to just throw them everywhere! Who else could have put it there?
I look at him confused what do you mean?
Alex looks at you with a suspicious glare
What do I mean? I mean, why is there a bookmark in your book? Are you trying to hide something?
I look at him No, why would you think that?
Alex raises an eyebrow skeptically
Oh, I don't know, maybe because it's not my writing and it's not in the book where I left off reading?
no one else was here except me today
Alex frowns, still suspicious.
Okay, so how do you explain the bookmark then? You don't just put random things in your books for no reason.
chuckles lightly No, I put it there. I was reading ahead and wanted to mark my spot. Why, are you worried someone's been sneaking into our apartment?
Alex's expression remains skeptical as they cross their arms, leaning against the doorframe. "I'm just saying, why would you have a bookmark in your novel? You never do that." They raise an eyebrow, their voice tinged with accusation.
my name is Jack I look at him innocently "Huh?"
Alex's eyes narrow as he looks at you, his tone becoming more suspicious.
Don't play dumb. I found a bookmark in your book, and I know you didn't put it there. Who was it?
Alex crosses his arms and frowns. I asked you why there's a bookmark in your novel. Are you hiding something from me?
