STOLEN

nineteen

i was discharged a week later. johnny, ten and chenle were the ones who got me out of the hospital. i was actually waiting for haechan but it seems he's not here. well anyway, he visited with me the whole week when i was still in the hospital though.

❝how have you been? do you feel a lot better now, mark?❞ ten worriedly asked me. ❝i still can't thank you enough for saving my baby. thank you so much, mark.❞

❝anyone would do the same.❞ i smile. ❝where is he by the way?❞

❝oh. he was out with jaemin earlier this morning.❞ johnny said while he was packing my bag. he put it on the storage space and locked it. ❝it seems like those two grew closer to each other.❞

that sounds suspicious. haechan didn't tell me anything about them. he also didn't mention what happened when they got out a week ago, when they left me with giselle.

❝anyway, you're gonna be home. congratulations for making it out.❞ chenle teased me and laughed like crazy.

❝bad people die last.❞ i uttered what yangyang told me, it made them laugh.

the car ride was mostly silent but i think it's just because of me not talking to anyone. i'm still analyzing everything that has been and now i'm actually thinking about haechan.

i think i do like him. he's the reason why i'm questioning my sexuality right now.

❝we're home.❞ i didn't even notice it.

anyway, the place looked like how i left it but everything inside made me jump in shock and happiness at the same time.

❝welcome back!❞

❝hi, bro!❞

❝it's good to see you.❞

❝you okay, dude?❞

i grin at the men coming and trying to touch me but then i saw haechan running to come and hug me so shrugged the boys off and went to haechan.

❝mork...❞

i laugh quietly as i bury my face into his neck and hug him tight by his tiny waist. ❝oh god, i missed you.❞

❝welcome back.❞ he pulled away and excitedly and swayed me carefully. ❝surprise!❞

❝did you see that?❞ i heard yangyang whisper. i think they noticed how i left them for haechan, shit.

❝thank you...❞

❝it was all haechan's idea.❞ jaemin tapped my back. ❝welcome back, hyung.❞

he pulled haechan by his hand and never removed it there. my eyes fell on their slowly intertwining hands and i looked back to haechan.

he giggled. ❝jaemin and i are... dating.❞

❝w-what?❞ johnny hissed even before i could react.

i feel my heart breaking into tiny pieces. ❝w-wow.❞

❝does dad know about this?❞ johnny frowned. ten pulled him back and rubbed him sweetly.

❝we knew. jaemin told us the day they started it.❞ ten smiled at him. and i hate that smile. i hate everyone's grin. i hate jaemin.

❝this is a shock. i need beer.❞ taeil gasped.

❝i thought...❞ renjun shut yangyang's mouth. he pointed at me and haechan, then his back slouched.

❝g-good for you.❞ i attempt to look happy by smiling. but really, i feel fucking hurt.
