A BOY TO DIE FOR |12

"I laughed and said, life is easy. What I meant was, life is easy with you here with me, and when you leave, it will be hard again."
-Miranda July

A day passed since mark and I last talked, he hadn't called me and I was surely not going to call him.

You see, Mark and I have this habit where we talk of useless and unimportant things and ignore the topics that should really be discussed...like the poison, the sex, the death of Taeyong and...and the murder that occurred 24 hours ago.

I keep having this recurring dream every time I close my eyes.

I just finished helping Mark dig the hole to hide the body and then we are suddenly home, my hands and arms are dirty in blood, I go to the bathroom's sink to wash it off but no matter how much water and soap I use my arts don't seem to get clean.

I keep scrubbing desperately "COME OFF! COME OFF!" I scream as tears roll down my cheeks, but it's useless, as a matter a fact the more I try to wash it the more I get dirty in blood, it covers all my skin, it goes in my mouth. I can't breath. I'm choking. "M-Ma-rk" I try to say but he can't hear me. He's not there.

"AAAAAAAAH" I woke up screaming, covered in sweat, my head was hurting again as I felt disoriented.

I grabbed the bucket next to my bed and threw up...for the third time in one day.

"I can't go to school like this." I said laying back down on my bed as I kept my eyes open, too scared to fall a sleep again.

I missed one day. And then another.

I couldn't keep postponing. I had to go to school.

I walked down the corridors of that building I knew so well, I felt everyone's eyes on me... do they know?

Of course not, I'm just paranoid.

"HAECHAN!" Said Jaeminie running towards me and hugging me so tightly I could barely breath.

I hugged him back trying to understand what was going on. He had never hugged me that way.

And then he hid his face in the crack of my neck,suddenly I felt my skin get wet...was he crying?

I parted my self from the peach haired boy "Jaemin, Whats wrong?"

"S-She died"

"Who?!"

"Chun-Hei" he sniffed "she's been missing from two days"

Two days? Was Chun- Hei the girl that Mark had killed?

"Y-You knew her?"

"Everyone knows her,Haechan!"

Why? Why would Mark kill someone that everyone knows? What's up with that?

"Why are you saying that she died? She's just missing."

"I know i know...Some police officers came to school while you weren't here....they asked thousands of questions"

"Who else was missing other than me?"

"Mark Hyung..."

Of course he was.

The last bell rung, I got up in a hurry as I ran to the train station, I needed to see Mark, I needed to touch him, to feel his lips on mine as he whispered reassuring things in my ear. I didn't care if I seemed clingy.

I got out of the train station, Mark's House
was a dozen of minutes away. I walked holding tightly my back pack trying to think of what I would say. And then...
