Stars, Seas and Skies

XII

I woke up in the morning sunlight not finding him beside me, I was shirtless,  once I was completely awake I tried to cover myself. I realized I was on a bed and not on the couch I recalled I slept in last night.

After looking around for quite a while I found a shirt. I thought it woulf be too tight but it was just the right size, being too bored, I looked for another peice of garment I could possibly wear.

Because everyone has time for feeling a little boyfriend.

I found a black hoodie that covered my knee. My arms were completely hidden.

I walked down the stairs, it was strange because I knew, or felt like I knew the whole house. A room was there I assumed it to be. It did feel familiar.

Most importantly, I was wondering why was I shirtless? I, a guy, shirtless in somebody else's house wasn't something Lee Jeno would do. I heard the sound of glass break, probably a glass mug or something.

The point is, something broke down stairs so its best if I go and check.

I saw haechan cleaning the mess up, I think he was too clumsy to handle those.

"Oh fuck"

I heard someone, and it wasn't Haechan.

I turned around to see Mark. Mark the cutie, absolutely hungover.

Mark had his first two buttons from the shirt unbuttoned. He had messy hair. And looked hungover as hell, but not to my surprise, I heard Haechan choke on his water.

Looks like he finished cleaning up the mess. But when is he going to clean up Mark? The human mess.

"Uhm so, How is everything going" I tried hard to change the awkward atmosphere.

"Pretty good" Mark smiled. If it weren't for that smile, I would have been annoyed, I am NOT a morning person.

"I was talking to Haechan"

"Who, Me?"

"Yeah, uhm so lemme start again, is everything going alright"

He scoffed," Do these look like everything has been going good?" I realized Mark had some too.

"I know, I am not stupid, I have been your best friend since 5th grade. Until you ran away."

"Starters, everything feels like shit" When Haechan said that, I noticed Mark's face change from light to dull.

"Did he do it again?"

"You kidding? He comes home drunk late at night with a fucking bat" I saw Mark's face wince.

Haechan was really annoyed now, not because he was angry, but because he was he might tear up again.

"Last week, he used a strong belt, a week before that he used-"

"Yeah we'll stop right there, Haechan thats enough" Mark was really serious, he didn't look as hungover as I thought he would be.

"Lmao Bitch you know you can't handle it. I can't handle it either. We just wait for him to do to anything to our body and not say anything?" His voice cracked,He was this close to throw a cupboard at Mark.

"This is hellhole" Was all Mark could say.

"Running away is the best option"

"Do we look like-"

"We're ditching the Idea, like Do we look like we have enough money to run away?" Mark was annoyed too now.

"Fine, whatever. And uhm also guys,I dont know if its the right time but, I will staying here for a couple of weeks"
