donghyuck sat at the kitchen table. it was night already as mark was eating his food. the two were both enjoying dinner (not really donghyuck) before the two would head off to bed. donghyuck wished that mark would speak to him but he was busy on his phone, smiling and making googly eyes to the screen. it shattered donghyuck's heart it very well so did as he picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth. it hurt to chew, to swallow, to enjoy any taste. and not to mention that the flower was starting to itch since the turtle neck covered it. donghyuck was just grateful the flower wasn't to big for mark to notice.
donghyuck also didn't know how he was going to communicate with mark if every word he said felt like he was stabbing himself. "you're so quiet." was what mark had said right on cue as donghyuck looked up at him. donghyuck opened up his mouth but only felt wretched as he could feel the scratchy stem and root poke at his throat. donghyuck held his finger up, pointing at his neck as he shook his head. mark cocked an eyebrow unsure. "hm?"
"lost my voice." donghyuck then went into a bunch of coughs after he said that. he held his mouth closed but instantly started hacking as mark stared at him in pure disgust. "what the hell donghyuck." mark said as he stood up. donghyuck laid his head on the table, allowing the last few coughs to eiffel out of him as he looked up at his husband. donghyuck was covered in tears as mark didn't even look too surprised.
as if he knew what was happening.
"what's wrong with you?!" mark then asked as he pointed at the crying donghyuck. donghyuck shook his head in dismay as he clasped his hands together. he was pleading but mark was unsure of what he had wanted. "talk to me! stop being so fucking weird!" mark then came over and grabbed the collar of donghyuck's shirt as he held him close. it wasn't in a lovely way but rather mark looked like a bully demanding a kid for lunch money.
donghyuck was internally and externally suffering as this all was just too much pain to bear. "don't l-lie to me." donghyuck wish he never spoke that as he pushed mark away and gasped for breath. the stem was now deeply sinking in his throat and donghyuck could feel and taste the metallic liquid sensation splurging up into his mouth. he stared at mark as the black haired male watched in a shocked expression as blood came drooling down.funny how mark didn't even manage to take him to the hospital.
mark then now took the action to kneel next to donghyuck. his light brown hair sticking to his forehead as he basically looked lifeless. donghyuck was enraged and unsure of what to do. the only thing he wanted to ask was inching to come out but now donghyuck didn't care about the pain. "mark...d-do you love me?" donghyuck strengthened his grip on mark's arm as he closed his eyes for a moment. "i do love you donghyuck."
the flower didn't grow. just some joy was inside of donghyuck but he didn't understand that why mark would lie so much to pity this pain upon him. donghyuck opened his eyes as mark still didn't have an expression. donghyuck coughed before he spoke again. "b-but mark- are you in love with me still?"
donghyuck gasped for breath as he began crying more. he was basically killing himself at this point. if this was where donghyuck was going to die at least it was next to mark; the man he loved.
but mark didn't answer this time.
mark stared down at the dying, shriveled, unlucky and crying donghyuck in front of him. mark hadn't liked this at all and didn't want to continue being someone who seemed as helpless as he was, but mark didn't want to break his heart.
"y-yes. i'm in love with you donghyuck."
a smile was just turning the corners of donghyuck's lips before mark hissed as donghyuck pinched his skin. it looked like donghyuck was silently screaming which was scary to witness as donghyuck could feel the flower bloom and blossom more. donghyuck hitched the turtleneck collar down as he know was just crying. mark widened his eyes as he saw it, a dark red rose growing out of his neck, looking like it was killing him. the thorns were picking at his skin as blood was coated everywhere. "donghyuck..." mark then said.
donghyuck had just the last bit of strength as he grabbed mark's shirt collar and pulled him down towards him.
"don't lie to me or i'll die. is that what you want?!"that phrase took the whole framing sensation out of donghyuck as he laid back down. now just breathing heavily up and down as he let the pain just engulf him.
and he wasn't surprised that mark didn't reply, he just wished that the tables would turn and this is how he would be saved.
mark could feel donghyuck's hands go loose and loose until they collapsed on the floor. blood was still trickling out of his mouth as mark just sat on his knees there. he watched the dark rose fully blossom now until it gave off and broke from donghyuck's neck, laying beside him.
donghyuck wasn't breathing. that was it.
mark took the rose and stood up. he stared once more at donghyuck's lifeless body before he spoke. "i didn't want it to end this way, but i knew you needed to move on because i have. i have a family now. i didn't need you in my life anymore, you're my past. the future is what's best."
and with that, mark left their shared home, picking up his bag and the rose as he walked out. not caring about donghyuck's destroyed body in the middle of the kitchen.
tbc.
