Shattered Pieces [MarkHyuck] ❤️

11

"Donghyuck?" Mark opened his eyes to see his wife hovering over him. The younger glared at him then sat on his butt. The older noticed the bruise on his waist, he sighed. "I'm sorry okay. Does it hurt? What's wrong?" The older caressed the bruise.

"I'm hungry." Donghyuck whispered softly.

"I don't know how to cook. So you need to make something yourself. Hasn't mother prepared anything?" The older sighed sitting up on the bed.

"No. They left early, saying something about visiting your grandmother. Your brother has his head turned by that fool." Said Donghyuck looking outside the broken down window, the rain gave no place for the sun to shine.

"You are gorgeous Donghyuck. Has anyone told you that?" Mark reached out for the soft chubby cheek. As far as the King remembered no one had ever genuinely told him that.

"No...." He pouted, he must have been out of his mind to pout right now.

"You have a heart of gold baby. I wish you'd be nicer and treat people better. You reap what you sow. You need to give respect to earn respect. I know I'm just a servant but I've seen hell fire while living in this place." Marks voice sounded so soft, like feathers brushing the golden skin. Donghyuck squeaked when warm lips pressed on the edge of his own. Long and lingering.

The kiss made the beauty function a little weird that day, he would blush like an idiot when he saw his husband or just avoid him like he always did. The Knights were training for the departure of the troops to join the neighbouring war. Donghyuck went home that time, he saw Kun and Renjun cooking in the kitchen.

"Oh darling!! You look devastated. Is he providing you well?" For the first time in like forever, he wrapped his arms around his mother. Tightly, it was as if he missed him so much. Renjun and Kun exchanged gazes at eachother.

"I hate him so much........But he's so nice to me. He's abusive only when I'm being a dick. Other than that he's so nice to him." The younger buried his face inside Kun's neck.

"Awwe sweetie. You should always return the favour if someone is nice to you." Kun squished his chubby cheeks with a chuckle.

"Make him dinner maybe? Jaemin is with Jeno I suppose. Jaehyun and Taeyong left the kingdom on business." Renjun side hugged his sad brother that seemed so weighed down by something.

"I don't know how to cook." Exclaimed the King.

"Well practice makes perfect." The two men squealed and Doyoung soon joined the class.

Donghyuck ended up burning his fingers alot, he had never....let him repeat. Never made food, he was king so he thought he didn't have the need to learn it because it didn't affect him or his life if he didn't, besides it didn't bother him to learn things that wasn't important to him. Finally making the things that his mother's and Renjun had guided him to do he messily set the table.

"Fuck this horrendous weather!!" Mark came inside drenched from head to toe. He ran upstairs to shower and change. The brunette dutifully stood at the table, excited it was a sweet sight. The older had a heart attack when he saw the messy roasted food table laid out for him. "Did you poison it?" He joked.

"Fuck you! Eat if you want or just die." The king snapped at the joke.

It tasted pretty bad but the older ate it all without saying a word for his mean wife had taken the time to prepare dinner for him. Sadly someone came knocking at their door for help and Mark rushed to help them. Donghyuck though felt great for he knew it tasted bad but it did something to his stone heart when his man ate it all without a single word shot at him.

"Gosh!!" Donghyuck moaned as he slipped on water and fell on his butt. The roof had started leaking just hours ago, it must have puddled up while he was cooking. What he didn't notice was that he toppled a few candles with his fall.

"He ate it all......." The brunette blushed shyly to himself. Alas his happiness didn't last long.

"Mark?! Isn't that your house?! It's on fire!!!" Someone screamed at the older who was helping the old woman have her roof mended under the rain. He left the work abruptly and ran to the house.

The candles fell onto the linen which made the fire spread, the poor foolish king didn't know what to do and by the time he decided to do something the house had caught fire. It was old, made mostly of wood and the candles started flaming up. He ran to the door, tripped on a fallen piece of fabric and fell flat.

"Mark!!!" He shouted with all his might, his arms were burnt by trying to put off the fire. He started crying, he hadn't cried before. Maybe once that fateful night. His eyes were getting all blurry, he reached the door, surprisingly it was locked. The older didn't lock it as far as he remembered. The king ran upstairs, for it was the only place with no fire for now. Fire had no rule, it spread like a disease. Soon and rapidly. 

"Donghyuck!! Jump!!" Marks voice made the younger to break the window, the locks were all stuck suddenly.

"Mark! Nooo!" He was afraid, the height was too much.

"Baby hurry up!! Trust me and jump!" Said Mark spreading his arms. Donghyuck big his lips, he closed his eyes then gave a slow nod and jumped off the window.

He was caught by his husband, without letting him smash to the ground and Die. Donghyuck was burned everywhere, Taeil rushed to his son, as they escorted him to his chambers in the palace as Wendy hurriedly entered the room. Mark started crying next to the beauty.
