Don't be near Mark/ Markhyuck

Part 10

Donghyuck was supposed to go to work today, but it was eventually canceled. After thinking it over and over, he agreed to wear Mark's bracelet. Mark assured him that if they got caught, he would confess to have forced Donghyuck to do it.

He had things to do, but he wasn't heartless. He wanted to take full responsibility for his actions. Mark didn't want to drag others down as he had done before; he had grown up.

When he was sure his parents were busy and Jeno was studying, he opened the door for Donghyuck. He quickly led him to his room and locked the door behind them.

"I can't believe I have to do this," Donghyuck sighed. (when the sentence is in bold, they're talking in Korean)

"I won't ask you often," Mark replied, "just stay quiet and don't make too much noise. You can use my computer if you want."

"I have trouble using it," Donghyuck replied.

"Oh, I should have guessed," Mark said, "well, find a way to keep yourself occupied and soundless."

Mark removed the bracelet from his ankle, just as Jayden shown him. Then, he crouched in front of Donghyuck and grabbed his ankle. Donghyuck sat on the bed and let Mark lift his leg gently.

He never thought he would see such a beautiful boy in front of him, kneeling and seeming stupidly beautifully handsome doing such a bad thing. This thought made him smile; Mark seemed focused on attaching the device correctly, not wanting to mess up the first time, he would look dumb going back to prison because of this small mistake.

"No one will bother you," Mark said, "I told my parents I was working on something important and that I wouldn't have dinner with them tonight."

"How long will it take?" Donghyuck asked.

"About two hours, I think," Mark replied.

Donghyuck nodded, and Mark finished securing the device. Donghyuck moved his ankle to see if it was securely attached. The bracelet didn't budge an inch.

Suddenly, Mark grabbed him violently by the jaw. Donghyuck widened his eyes, and his breath caught when their faces were inches apart. Mark seemed threatening, ready to hit him if the urge struck him.

"I trust you," Mark murmured, "if you try anything, I'll find you."

Donghyuck swallowed hard and nodded vigorously. He didn't want to upset Mark; the idea terrified him. He was too afraid of the consequences. Plus, he didn't know why, but a part of him wanted to help Mark.

"Good," Mark replied, tapping the younger boy's head. He could already see red marks appearing on Donghyuck's jaw where he had gripped him. He left through the window.

Donghyuck settled more comfortably on the bed. He didn't even want to search through the room, too afraid that if Mark noticed, he would make him pay the price.

He took out his phone and replied to his messages.

He received a notification just as he turned on his phone; he had a friend request on Instagram. He opened the application and easily recognized Jaehyun. Donghyuck got lost in the other's pictures, looking through the posts.

Jaehyun had several shirtless photos. But he also saw that Jaehyun was studying medicine.

He recognized Johnny in one photo; the two seemed to be on vacation together. He also saw Taeyong with them, a boy he had seen at a few of Johnny's parties. Finally, he accepted Jaehyun's friend request and followed him back.
