"Marky, can you read me a story?" the young boy asked.

"Of course, Channie. Which story do you want to read today?" mark got up to the small bookshelf his parents had. it was filled with stories mark enjoyed like The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

it was typical for donghyuck to ask mark to read for him since he couldn't read, yet.

"I wanna read...Three Little Pigs!!" small donghyuck clapped his, small, hands.

"Anything for my little sunshine," mark grabbed the slim book from the bookshelf, opening it to the first word-filled page.
the two young boys sat together in mark's room reading away their problems. donghyuck snuggling closer to his best friend and mark greeting him with a smile.

it was a nice getaway.

donghyuck enjoyed the way the words flowed out mark's mouth. it was much more relaxing than hearing his parents arguing 24/7.

mark enjoyed these moments too. having donghyuck's body heat cloud over him. much warmer than the cold touches of his mother, who drinks away her problems.

with each other, mark and donghyuck can live in peace. reading together under the dim lights, the sound of glass shattering inferior to mark's slow-paced reading.

that's the way they both enjoyed it; slow and steady, peaceful and warm.
