Daring {Markhyuck}|| Completed

•Chapter 28•

Arriving down the stairs, he heard a lot of noise from the members. They really did get along like a family and it was no surprise for Donghyuck.

There were a few faces that Donghyuck had not met before so he felt a bit shy to just walk over and take a seat, but Jaehyun waved him over to sit between him and Renjun.

"Glad you could make it done," Jaehyun chuckled as Donghyuck flashed a friendly smile, taking a seat between the two.

"Xiaojun! Serve a plate for Donghyuck!" Kun shouted from the dining table into the kitchen area.

The said male did just that, introducing himself to the tanned male as soon as he handed his plate of food to him politely.

Donghyuck ate and chatted among the members. He felt shy at first but everyone included him into their conversation, introducing the other members he had not met yet as well.

Everybody was gathered and eating together besides Mark of course and their leader, Taeyong. The anticipation of meeting Taeyong was killing Donghyuck.

Dinner flew by and Donghyuck was still with the members, playing twister. Donghyuck was the one spinning the spinner while Jisung, Chenle, and Yangyang were the last ones standing.

"Move you fucker!" Yangyang cursed, placing his right hand over Chenle's bridge positioned body.

"Sometimes, I'm still baffled by the fact that we're soulmates," Renjun dramatically sighed as he sat next to Donghyuck on the couch.

"You and Yangyang are soulmates?" Donghyuck asked as Renjun nodded.

"Unfortunately."

"Hey! I heard that," Yangyang pouted.

"Oh hush,"Renjun rolled his eyes as Donghyuck giggled, spinning the spinner.

"Left leg on green."

Chenle's legs were crossed over each other while in a back bend. Uncomfortable? Very.

But Jisung was there Next to the older, not even playing the game, but helping Chenle balance himself from falling.

Nobody mentioned anything about Jisung basically cheating the game by helping Chenle, but that just made Yangyang more competitive.

"Ji! Help me. I'm about to fall!" Chenle yelled, the blood rushing to his head as his arms wobbled.

Jisung hurried to the head of Chenle's body, steadying the older's hands and support his head in the air so that he would not feel dizzy. Jisung looked down at Chenle squinted eyes with a small cheesy smile on his face.

Everyone in the room watching them rolled their eyes at the two basically flirting without them even knowing.

Everyone knew Jisung and Chenle liked each other and are soulmates due to a golden ring that would appear around them when they were together.

The young members were unaware of this were and could not see it because they were not twenty one yet.

After they finished playing the game, Donghyuck decided on showering and heading to bed early. He came out of the fogged glass shower and dried himself with the same towel as last night.

He felt refreshed and relived to be able to use his own products for the day and get dressed in his own pajamas.

Sitting on his bed, he stared at the wall with boredom. Not having a phone sucked, but he noticed he had a flatscreen tv in his room so he figured he would watch something until he fell asleep.

He ended up scrolling through the channels, leaving it on Cartoon Network as he got comfortable. He was wearing a plaid set of pajamas as he stuck his legs underneath the blanket.

The tv was playing but all Donghyuck kept thinking about was Mark.

What exactly is the older still keeping from him?

If Donghyuck had not found out about Mark practically stalking him, the older probably would have never told him.

He did not want to be associated with a liar or a creep.

It was perfectly reasonable for him to have reacted in the way that he did when Mark acted like he had every right to invade his privacy.

It ticked Donghyuck off.

Just because they were soulmates and Mark 'has access' to do such things because he is part of a mafia, does not give him the right to do so at all.

Donghyuck would have rather waited to talk to Mark about his personal life. He does not trust the older. Just how much does Mark already know?

Thinking about it sent chills down his spine as he cringed at the thought. It scared him.

Like Jaemin, Donghyuck always wanted to meet his soulmate by a coincidence...not by results of stalking.

He wanted to fall in love—maybe even love at first sight since they are soulmates, go on a few dates or two, and share things about each other.

But no, that completely was thrown out of the window as soon as Mark came into his life.

It happened so abruptly and Donghyuck like he could not keep up with anything around him anymore. And on top of that, he was not even living in his apartment either.

Donghyuck is being forced to stay here...but technically Donghyuck had all the time in the world to just leave so why is he not doing so?

Why is he still staying here and abiding by what Mark says most of the time? If he really wanted to leave he would have done so by now.

So maybe Donghyuck really did not want to leave? Maybe he wanted to stay with his soulmate and learn more about him...to connect more with him and build their soulmate bond.

Let's face it. Donghyuck was not going to try to rid of the bond. He hated Mark, but he would never go through such extremes to hurt them.

Mark seems like he has been through a lot even if he does not say much. Donghyuck could tell. Nobody would be so distant and pissy for no reason at all.

And Donghyuck wanted to find out and maybe that way, the two of them could get along better. Mark is his soulmate and though he might not like it, Donghyuck was going to help him and learn to love him eventually.

There it was...another challenge accepted.
