Chapter 38: life is a lie

Mark POV

"Mark . . ."

Haechan's voice is barely in audible. He finds an inner strength to say something. But I know I've hurted him badly.

"Can you let go of me now" he said calmly, even if it was phrased as a question it felt more like a plead.

I didn't want to get into a fight so I let him go of his tint hand. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" I ask calmly to him, things between us are fragile and I don't want to break his heart again.

"Uhm, sure" he said with a cough.

I wish I didn't break up with him in that time. It only took a couple of months for this disaster to occur.
"Why were you going to fight Lucas though?" He asks curiously, but I mean he has no real background about what is happening between Lucas and I.

"Well, Lucas and I both really like yo-"

Haechan's phone rings abruptly, and Lucas's caller ID appears from the screen from what I see. He glances at me for a sec and then swipes the screen to accept the call.

"L-lucas, I don't know what is going on. I think it would be better if we all meet up so we can talk about this." Donghyuck suggests, but I guess that Lucas thought it was a dumb idea because from the space between us I noticed the small smile Donghyuck had worn became a frown.

I couldn't hear what Lucas was saying, but any contact between Donghyuck and him could immediately cause distrust between Donghyuck and I.

We started walking slowly in the streets, of course we haven't gone far. Anyone could find us here in Seoul. While walking we stopped in front entered this sushi and coffee cafe. I told Hyuck to wait for me outside, but he wanted to go inside. Entering the small cafe Donghyuck ended his call.

Me being a coward didn't try asking what their conversation was.

We chose a table to sit and a waiter arrived quick.

"Good evening, what do we have here ohhh, is this a date misters?" The waiter named Kun asked.

I nodded while Hyuck shook his head.

I let out a soft giggle leaving Donghyuck shocked because he disapproved of my answer.

We ordered some coffee and sat in a comforting silence. Well, I felt comfort but Donghyuck was shaking.

Of course, he doesn't really know who I am.

For all he knows I could be his kidnapper.
