A BOY TO DIE FOR | 28

FINAL CHAPTER
"The 23 year old Lee Taeyong has died this afternoon in his apartment in the center of Seoul by the hands of his father Jinyoung Lee,the man told the police he attacked his son in self defense as the older started showing a quite aggressive behavior in his regards, high levels of alcohol were in fact found in the boy's blood stream."

Haechan gulped spacing out as he stared at the tv,no words could come out of his mouth, he turned towards Mark just looking at him,trying to understand what was going through his mind, what was that look on his face.

Mark immediately got up as Haechan got up after him and grabbed his arm "Mark,please-"

"He killed him." Said Mark as his eyes showed his complete emptiness. " he fucking killed Taeyong"

"Mark! You heard the news, Taeyong had high levels of alcohol-"

"Bullshit. Taeyong hated drinking. He would've never gotten drunk to the point to start a fight" Mark walked to the wall behind the tv as he grabbed his bat "he tricked him into drinking or some other shit like that."

"Mark,you promised you would kill no one."

"Exactly. He is a no one." Said Mark grabbing his jacket.

"Are you seriously going to put me aside just so you can get revenge on your father?! For killing Taeyong? Te boy that you tried killing yourself?!" Said Haechan getting closer to him.

"Look,let's talk about it when I come back home-"

Haechan grabbed Mark's wrist stopping his from leaving,he turned him around and leaned his head on the older's shoulder "if you leave me now to go to your father, I won't be here when you come back."

"Don't make me choose,Donghyuck."
Said Mark caressing Haechan's soft hair "it's not fair that way"

Haechan looked up to Mark with teary eyes bitterly smiling "nothing about our relationship has ever been fair or right,has it?"

"I need to do this. This man killed my mother when I was just a child. Physically abused me and brother for years. Don't make me choose between you and doing the right thing."

"That's not the right thing,Mark, you haven't learnt anything."

"It is. The world would be a better place without people like him." He said caressing Haechan's cheek.

"You don't get to choose that though,Mark."

Mark pecked Haechan softly, so softly it almost seemed like he was scared that Haechan could break into pieces

And left.

But that's what we always do,isn't it, Mark?
     We leave and come back.
           We kiss and say goodbye.
                  So bye Mark.

                                     🔪

"Oh look who's here,my beloved son" Said Sangmin drunk as usual.

In a matter of minutes Mark arrived at his father's house without being seen by anyone thankfully, he kicked open the door that was surprisingly unlocked just to find his father sitting on his couch in the dark living room, drunk as usual.

"Fuck you and your bullshit." Said Mark entering the room with his usual straight face.

"Mh,I guess you're here for Taeyong" Said Sangmin seeing the butcher's knife in Mark's hands. "Are you here to kill me?" He chuckled "is that it?"

Mark shook his head once "no. I'm not going to kill you. Don't get  me wrong,if I didn't make a promise to Donghyuck you'd be dead already" he said looking at the shiny knife in his hands pushing away all those sick and toxic thoughts that would be lingering in his mind.
