HIDE N SEEK | Yumark

18. I can't love you

"Oh you're back, I left you some food, it's in the fridge, just warm it up in the microwave" Yuta smiles, walking past Mark and into the living room. "Yeah..." He says softly.

"Actually, Yuta, there's something I want to talk to you about," He says and Yuta looks up. "Yeah, what's up?" He asks. "Renjun... I didn't kill him" He says. "Who told you?" He asks, swigging on his wine. "Jungwoo, he went to Renjun's and checked the CCTV," He says and Yuta nods. "It was Jeno..." He says and Yuta nods, sipping some more wine.

The tense silence grows between them as Mark becomes enraged.

"You knew all along didn't you?" He spits. "Yeah, I did," He says, calmly. "So why didn't you kill him?" He asks. "You think I'd kill him because he beat you up? to be honest, he did me a favour, a little annoyed that he left you in such a condition though... but oh well, it is what it is, you deserved it for running away from me" He sighs. "I thought you loved me," Mark says, his voice cracking. He was confused at his own words but it had already been said now...

"Oh, dear Markie~" Yuta pouts. "Are you upset?" He asks, taunting him. "Are you upset that a fucking psychopath doesn't love you?!" He raises his voice, standing up. Mark takes a step back. "Are you!?" He asks but Mark just keeps his mouth closed, afraid. What had happened to him? Not just Yuta but himself... "Did you give in to me? come on Mark this is a game! Did you really believe that I'd fall in love?" He laughs. "You're useless whore of a cousin was the last one that I ever felt anything for so you can thank her for it" He spits. "I only 'care' for you because I want you as my play thing, we went through this at the beginning Mark" He rolls his eyes. "If I want you to kill, you'll kill for me, if I want to beat you up, I'll beat you up, if I wanna fuck you, I'll fuck you, if I want you to cook for me, you'll cook for me, none of this is your choice, none of this is under your control, do you hear me?" He explains.

"But Yuta... you said you loved me," He says. "Oh I say a lot, haven't you caught onto that yet? it's part of the game you fucking fool" He groans, taking a sip of his wine. "I notice you've said 'loved me' as in this is about you... darling this has never been about you, never will be, how many fucking times do I have to say that I don't care about you, are you that fucking braindead that you don't know the difference between genuinity and sarcasm?" He chuckles and Mark just stares. Heartbroken. No... he didn't know... he felt so much yet he also felt nothing at all.

"Oh, how I've missed that look~" Yuta bites his lip. "It gives me goosebumps, you've grown" He smirks. "Shall we try again... Maybe this time you'll land a hit on me" He teases Mark who clenches his fists. "I'll fucking kill you Yuta" He growls and Yuta throws his head back, laughing maniacally, Mark felt a sense of deja vu, he felt scared, it was like history was repeating itself. Yuta finally stops laughing and stares at him with bloodthirsty eyes. "Come and get me, Mark" He smirks and Mark's emotions are pushed over the edge as he charges for Yuta.

He goes for a punch and Yuta's eyes light up but he doesn't move. Mark slams his fist straight towards Yuta's face, as a distraction, his other fist flying straight into Yuta's stomach causing him to double over and cough. Mark grabs Yuta by the neck throwing him to the floor and kneeling over him as he throws punch after punch to Yuta's face. Yuta just lays there, taking it with a shit-eating grin.

A few moments later as Mark goes to throw yet another punch, he feels his arm stop in mid-air, he looks at his arm and sees Yuta holding on.

"You thought I'd let you have all the fun? that seems a little unfair to me" He pouts, talking as though Mark had never hit his face once. "I must say that felt good, do you feel better?" He asks, gently removing Mark's other hand from his throat and intertwining Mark's fingers with his. Mark stares down at him, breathing heavily. He felt a lot better but he wouldn't be satisfied until he knew Yuta was dead.
