20|| Leaving

June 6th, 2013

13 year old Mark sat in his brothers room with a pout. Today was the day where he was gonna visit family back in Canada but also today was his crush birthday, he didn't want to leave for the simple fact he knows his parents would want to move back to Canada. The Suh-Lee parents decided that it would be best if Johnny hosted the party since they know how responsible he is.

Mark looked at the gift for his crush one last time before walking out the room into pure chaos. Ten and Sicheng was dancing on the table with Yuta and Johnny hyping them up, Doyoung scolding Jaehyun for bringing in alcohol at a party that was meant for a 13 year old boy, Kun trying to get Ten and Sicheng off the table, Taeyong trying to calm the party down while Hansol and Taeil was just sitting in the kitchen eating the food.

Mark looked around the house looking for the birthday boy until he spotted him next to Taeil trying to give him kisses. He tried going downstairs quietly but unfortunately Johnny picked up the boy by his ankle. "Johnny! Put the boy down!" Taeyong yelled at the older male smacking his back. "Fine fine, no need for violence." Johnny put down his little brother and dusted him off "What's the lion for Mark?" He asked taking it out his hands. Mark instantly blushed trying to get it back from his brother "Give it back Johnny! It's not for you!" He yelled trying to knock the male down.

Fortunately on Mark side, Ten stopped dancing and instantly jumped on Johnny's back grabbing the lion plushie. He tossed it over to Mark who caught it and ran over to the kitchen, leaving Johnny in shock and disbelief that he got jumped.

Mark made it to the kitchen where the three males were, he nervously walked over to them holding the plush tightly. "Um.. Donghyuck." He said tapping on the boy shoulder. The said boy turned his head after giving Taeil cheek kisses "Yes Markie?" He asked standing in front of the boy. "I uh.." He turned his head to see that the people in the living room was looking at the two boys but quickly looked away when Mark made eye contact with them. Mark turned his attention back on Donghyuck clearing his throat "Here!" He shoved the plushie into Donghyuck's hands.

Donghyuck looked down at the plushie with the biggest smile. "Awe thanks Mark, it reminds me of you!" He pulled the older boy into a hug, kissing him on his cheek which left a flustered Mark. "You're welcome Hyuckie.."

Ten was basically in tears at this point seeing the two younger boys hug "Young love is so cute!" Kun patted his friend head letting out a laugh "You're such a cry baby Ten." He wiped away his friend tears with a smile.

Donghyuck grabbed Mark hand running over to the older boys in the house. "I got a goodbye gift!" Donghyuck screamed. Mark pouted "It's a birthday gift Donghyuck but since I'm leaving today I guess you can call it that.." Mark trailed off. Donghyuck hugged Mark again "I know you will come back, no need to be sad." He reassured the older.

Once again Ten bursted into tears hugging both of the younger boys "Why are you both so cute?!" Sicheng rolled his eyes, prying his friend off of the boys. "Stop crying Ten, oh my god."

~Time Skip~

The party eventually died down and the house was spotless like a party never happened. Now the boys was getting ready to say goodbye to Johnny and Mark. "Are you coming back?" Jaehyun asked eating a bag of chips. "Hopefully, you guys know how our parents are. If they love the place they're at they would move there." Johnny said with a hint of sadness. Everyone eventually hugged the two boys. Donghyuck hugged Mark the longest out of everybody. "Do you really have to go?" Donghyuck asked in a whisper, Mark smiled at the boy "That's why I gave you the lion, so you can remember me while I'm gone." He hugged Donghyuck again not wanting to let go. "Mark, you gotta let go of Donghyuck." Taeyong said prying his little brother out of Mark's grip.

Ten hugged Johnny then hugged Mark. "I hope you have fun, don't tell Johnny you're my favorite though." Mark laughed while nodding "Ok, I won't."

Donghyuck ran back over to Mark to hug him one more time "I will miss you Markie! Don't forget about me, ok?" Mark nodded. "We will send each other letters everyday ok?" Donghyuck nodded, kissing Mark on his nose.

Johnny smiled at the two until the parents pulled up into the driveway. "Come on boys, we gotta get to the airport." The two boys said their final goodbyes grabbing their luggage putting them in the trunk.

They both got in the car while Mark was waving at everybody. The car finally pulled out the driveway, Mark rolled down his window aggressively waving now. "Bye Hyuckie, I love you!!" Mark screamed out the car which made Donghyuck blush "I love you too Markie!!"

Everyone watched the car drive off into the street while Ten was too busy crying about the younger two.

"Oh my god Ten, you been crying all day!"

"I can't help it!"

Donghyuck ignored the two older boys while he was hugging the plush with one arm and waving at nothing but the road. Taeyong took out his phone and snapped a picture of his younger brother then sent it to Johnny to only get the same picture back but with Mark waving looking out the back window. "Hyuckie look!" Taeyong handed his phone to his brother seeing him light up with happiness then sadness "I miss Markie!" The little boy cried out hugging the plush tightly.

Mark was looking at the picture of Donghyuck smiling from ear to ear then a random wave of sadness hit him. "I miss Hyuckie!" The boy broke down into tears hugging his brother's phone tightly.
