Gangsta ~ Markhyuck

chapter 9

mark's blissful daze was interrupted as jeno walked into his room, letting him know that his 'tutor' was here

it wasn't like he needed it, the boy was exceptionally smart and never really struggled with school but taeil wanted to be sure

not bothering to fix his appearance he made his way downstairs to see who had been assigned to him

he was surprised to see a giggling donghyuck sitting next to taeil who appeared to be showing him something on his phone

as he walked closer he could hear the sound of yelling coming from taeil's phone

taeil looked up, noticing the youngers presence

"hey mark, i was just showing donghyuck here that video of you trying to ride a cow" he said grinning slyly

mark felt his face erupt into flames

"hyung! why?! turn it off" he pleaded, trying to grasp at the phone currently replaying that painful memory

donghucks giggles turned into soft laughter as he watched mark wrestle with taeil to claim the phone

after succeeding to do so mark turned to donghyuck but not before giving taeil an annoyed glance to which the elder responded with a childish face before leaving to go back to his office

donghyuck took in the elders dishevelled appearance, he was wearing a scruffy shirt which appeared to be covered in spots of paint as well as some on his arm

mark awkwardly scratched his neck, "follow me"

as the pair proceeded to his room, donghyuck admired the breathtaking house, noticing the large number of rooms there seemed to be

once inside mark started clearing space for them to work in while donghyuck stood awkwardly, looking around to make it seem like he was doing something

the younger spotted the corner of the room adorned with paintings along with an unfinished painting 

it was of a flurry of darkness and two deep eyes, the colour of glistening honey

donghyuck seemed to be hypnotised by the painting

"so what do we need to do?" mark said, snapping donghyuck out of his trance

"um here" donghyuck said, handing mark the stack he had momentarily forgotten about

as mark shuffled through donghyuck decided to make small talk

"so you paint?"

"occasionally, i'm not that good though"

donghyuck sat, mouth agape "are you kidding?! you're amazingly talented!" he said with slight un-intended aggression

mark looked up at the boy, caught off guard by the determination in his voice "you think so?"

donghyuck scoffed, the shy boy slowly fading away as he sassily placed his arms on his hips "oh i know so"

he motioned to the wall "this is actually amazing, and i'm assuming you did that gorgeous piece downstairs"
