Mark Pov

I wake up in the morning and notice that dad isn't home still. My cheek is still sore from when he punched me last night.

I get dressed and decide to go for a walk. Maybe I should ask Jinyoung to join me. I shake my head. I don't want to bother him. He gave me his number  the day after I slept at his house.

Going outside, I walk down the street and see a crowd if screaming people come into view. Walking into the crowd, my eyes widen.

I slowly walk into the alley and look at the person lying there. "D-dad?" The crowd gasps but I don't care about that. I get on my knees next to his body and shake him. "D-dad? Dad!" I cry. I don't know why. He didn't like me. He hit me, but he is still my father.

I start screaming as I shake his body. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn around. Jinyoung? Without thinking, I turn and hug him while crying. He rubs my back.

Soon, the police get here and take the body away. I have to talk with the police for a while and they tell me that my mom is coming back to take care of me.

Jinyoung walks me back to my house and we sit in the living room. "How are you feeling, Markie?" I keep looking down before slowly turning to him with wide eyes. "Nyoungie, would it be bad to say, that I'm not that sad that he's gone?" He shakes his head and holds my hand.

"He hurt you." I nod my head. "He did. But he's my father?" Jinyoung just hugs me. "I'll make sure no one hurts you again, Markie." My eyes widen at his statement. "Okay."

A few hours later, there is a knock on the door. I get up and open it. "Mom." She tackles me into a hug. I hug her back just as tight. "Mark, I am so sorry I lost the custody battle over you, and I'm so sorry about what happened to your father!" "That man was not my father." She pulls away to look me in the eyes. "What do you mean?" "Mom,  he hit me everyday~" I start to cry again. She gasps and I can see her eyes tears up aswell. "Oh baby I'm so sorry I wasn't there to stop him." "It's okay, because you're here now." We smile at each other.

We hear someone clear their throat. Oops. I forgot Jinyoung was here.  "Uhm, should I leave or..?" I turn to my mom who had a brow raised. "Is he your boyfriend?" I blush. "N-no! He's just a friend!" He introduces himself. "Nice to meet you. My name is Park Jinyoung." "Nice to meet you aswell. I'm Marks mom, Dorine. Have you boys eaten?" We shake our heads. "Oh no no
That just won't do. Come on, I'll make something."

She walks over to the fridge and sees the many beers. She freezes slightly before ignoring it and pulling out different ingredients from the fridge and the pantry. "May I help?" Jinyoung asks. My mother nods at the extra help and asks Jinyoung to cut up the vegetables. Jinyoung's very good with a knife. I wonder if he cooks often. While they do that, I set up the table.

When the food is ready, we sit at the table and all get to know each other better. It starts to get late so my mother questions Jinyoung. "Jinyoung? Won't your parents worry if you're out this late?" He flinches and smiles sheepishly. "There's no need to worry. My parents were killed when I was in sixth grade." I gasp and my mom covers her mouth in shock. "I am so sorry to hear that." He shakes his head. "It's alright. It doesn't faze me anymore." His eyes looked dark and closed over for a moment before he shook his head and his eyes were back to... Normal? My mother just nods to him. "Well you can come over anytime you want." He smiles slightly. "Thanks."

I see him twitch a few times before he pinches himself and stops. "I think it's time for me to go. It's getting late." "Alright. Bye sweetie! Mark, walk your friend out will you?" I nodded and walked Jinyoung to the door. He stares at me and I see his eyes glaze over again before they are normal again. "Are you okay Nyoungie? You got kinda fidgety." He kids his head. "I'm alright." I nod. "Well, I'll see you later. Bye." "Bye, Markie." He walks out the door without looking back.

I should've known this would be the last time I'd see Jinyoung as a sane person for a long while.......
