Donghyuck woke up the next morning with swollen eyes. He couldn't sleep last night . The whole night he kept looking at Mark. Sometimes he would caress his hair or place kisses on his face. Sometimes he would place his head on his chest to hear his heartbeat.

Mark's heartbeat is really soothing.

Sometimes he would bury his nose into Mark's neck to inhale the musky scent of his. That scent is intoxicating. He remembers the first time he smelled the powerful manly scent . It was after the first night when Mark pulled him closer to his body and held him close.

That time he didn't know that he would crave the scent every night. He spent the whole night like this. He was only able to close his eyes when Mark unconsciously in his sleep put his hand on his waist and pulled him closer.

Mark's touch is what made him fall in sleep.

He rubbed his eyes and stretched out his hand with closed eyes to feel Mark on the bed. He searched him with his hand but opened his eyes widely when he didn't feel him. He abruptly sat up on the bed and looked around. Nobody was in the room.

"Mark?" He called out for him but nobody answer him. He hurriedly got up from the bed and went to the washroom to look for Mark.

There was no one in the washroom.

He gulped down his saliva and went to look for Mark's clothes in his closet. When he opened the closet with shaky hands , his heart dropped. No it can't be. Every single thing of Mark is gone. He shut the the closet door with a loud thud and tugged his hair harshly to feel pain so that the pain in his head subsides.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He tried his hard to convince himself that nothing is wrong. Everything is fine.

Mark is still here.

He needs his phone. He is gonna call Mark and scold him again for leaving without informing him again. It was supposed to be on the bed side table. When he located it, he ran towards to grab it. But before he could grab his phone, his eyes found something else.

His heart dropped .

With shaky hand, he took the envelope and opened it. It was a letter from Mark.

Dear Hyuckie,

When you are reading this letter, I am probably not there anymore. I wanted to tell you this face to face but I am such a coward. I am not strong enough. Hyuckie do you remember the night I said i love you?? It was months after our marriage. I confessed so late. But trust me it didn't take me months to realise how much I love you. It took just one look at you to fall in love with you.
It was love at first sight. Then when you came to my house which I started to call ' ours' , my love only increased. But I had doubt about your feelings . You never showed that you are happy with me. But the way you took care of me , gave me hope too. I was confused but I was scared to confront you too. I didn't want to lose you. I was selfish. I decided to make you fall for me. I decided to steal your heart. Little did i know that your heart already belongs to someone else.
I am sorry Donghyuck-ah. I am sorry for taking away your chance to be with your lover. I am sorry I was selfish. I am sorry for making your life a trash. But not anymore. I am setting you free. Life always gives you a second chance.
Yangyang is more than ready to give you a second chance. Be with him and be happy. I have signed the divorce papers.

You are free now.

I wish you all the best jungkook- ah. I will always love you. I will always pray for you. Be happy and please that beautiful smile of yours which I hadn't the luck to see.
Goodbye.

    Forever yours,
Mark 

Donghyuck hugged the letter against his chest and started to sob loudly . He sat on the ground and cried heavily.

"M-Mark!"

Hearing his crying, his parents came running into his room. When they entered the room, they saw their precious son crying badly. There is no sign of Mark.

"Hyuck baby what's wrong? And where is Mark?" His mom asked as she sat beside him.

She saw a paper in his hand. She shared a look with her husband who was wearing a concerned look. She started to read the letter while Hyuck's father was trying to calm his son.

His mom's eyes teared up when she finished reading. Now his father became more worried. He snatched away the paper and started to read it. When he finished, he was too shocked to response . He saw another paper beside them which he assumed the divorce paper. He took it and saw it is signed by Mark.

"Oh my god..." Hyuck's father mumbled and hugged his son tightly.

When Mark returned home, all he could feel is emptiness. He opened the main door and entered. Linda came to greet him but frowned when he saw Donghyuck isn't here with him.

"Welcome home master. Where is master Donghyuck?" Linda asked as she helped Mark taking off his jacket. This was her job before Donghyuck came .

Mark smiled sadly and said,

"He isn't coming back anymore linda"

Linda's eyes widened hearing his words.
"B-but why?"

"Because he doesn't belong here Linda. He never did" Mark said and left to go to his room which he once shared with Donghyuck.

Linda was shocked but it wasn't too unexpected for her. She heard everything when his master's friend came to meet him. She knew he wasn't happy at first. But she could see he changed after the first couple of months. Especially their date night.

He wasn't stern anymore. He became soft. His whole feature became soft. And that's why it's shocking to her. She sighed and went to her work. When Mark entered the room, the first thing he saw is Hyuck's robe on the bed. He sat on the bed and took the robe in his hand.

He brought it to his nose and inhaled the addicting scent. He felt tears already started to gather in his eyes.

"I already miss you Hyuckie" Mark mumbled and laid on the bed. He took the pillow Hyuck used to use and hugged it tightly.

He was alone before and now he again became alone. Life is really cruel to him. But he felt happy thinking about one thing and that is , he at least could make Hyuck happy. This is what he wanted to do for a long time. He shouldn't feel sad. He shouldn't be upset. Donghyuck is happy . Donghyuck is happy without him.

And he should be happy for it too .
