Under the Covers | Markhyuck

22| Happy or ending?

"Can we talk about my custody?"

"S-son, am I hearing right?" His father asked him for assurance. Sure he wants Mark to be in his custody but he doesn't want Mark to be rushed about it.

"Yes father. I'm sure about this." He said walking near to Mr. Son's office table.

"Buy why so sudden?"

Mark is unsure if he wants to tell the truth to his father. He doesn't know if he'll agree with his reason. He also doesn't know if he'll support his relationship with Donghyuck. But he loves Donghyuck so much that he'll do everything just to make him happy and be from from all the pain.

"Uh.." He wants to tell something but he's voice is suddenly fading. His heart pounding so fast, while hands fisted tightly showing how he is determined with the decision he's making.

His father looked at him. He looked straightly at his son's eyes, reading them with all his might. Then he sighed, giving Mark a soft look. "I feel like I know why." He said, which startled Mark.

"W-what?" He relaxed his hands and body as he gives his father a confused look.

"Is this about Donghyuck?"

Mark gasped. "How come you also knew about it?" He confusedly asked. Then he realized that Wendy might have told him. His father noticed his expression so he smiled at his son. "Wait, you're not mad about it?"

"Why would I?" He asked his son. "Look at you, willing to risk it all just for him. I know how true love feels son. I was once in that place."

His father stood up, walking to him. "Is it okay for you?"

Mr. Son put his hand on Mark's shoulder. "I'm okay with everything son, as long as it makes you happy." He said. "So how about we finally have a proper talk about your custody?"

Mark sighed in relief and smiled, nodding at his father.

Dahyun tried her luck for the last time. She knocked at Donghyuck's door and softly called for him. "Hyuckie..."

Inside, Donghyuck closed his eyes tightly before sighing. He got up and walked to his bedroom door to let Dahyun in. He tried wiping his tears and sniffing to stop himself from crying. "What..." He softly asked to his sister.

"Why are you crying?" She asked, her hand intertwining with Donghyuck, walking his brother inside his room.

Donghyuck closed the door and let Dahyun drag him to his bed. "I'm not crying, I have a cold."

Dahyun did not believe him though. She wiped his tears. "I heard everything Hyuckie. I'm sorry." A tear rolled down from her eye. "I don't want you crying, you look ugly when you cry." She tried to lighten up the atmosphere but it's too heavy.

Donghyuck still let out a chuckle. "You don't have to be sorry, they just don't understand how I feel. They thought it's for the better but they're just making everything worse."

"Did you tell Mark oppa?" She asked. Donghyuck nodded. "What did he say?"

"He said he'll fix everything. He's coming home."

Dahyun smiled. "Then don't cry anymore. If you truly love him, you'll trust and wait for him."

"That's what I'm doing." He muttered.

"You ready little bro?" Wendy asked. She's helping Mark with his things to put inside the car.
