graveyard | markhyuck

chapter twelve

"i wanna show you something." donghyuck pulled mark along down the gravel road, his hand connected with mark's. the leader followed him with hesitance as he observed their surrondings.

"fullsun, this doesn't look like the safest plsce to be in." mark observed the run down road and houses along it.

donghyuck shook his head. "it's actually one of the safest. better than the city."

the two walked hand in hand to the entrance of the graveyard. donghyuck knew this place by heart but hadn't visited it in the past months. he had grown found of the dark and desolate place when he was homeless and there was still a part of him that had wanted to come here.

and that's why he persuaded none other than mark lee to join him on this walk.

the mission planned for the mafia was cancelled since donghyuck and mark basically took out the whole enemy mafia while they were there. the ones they hadn't killed had fled and hidden to god knows where. plus, mark was a little more cautious of these missions after what had happened with donghyuck. the younger getting injured had really shook him.

donghyuck walked ahead of mark, who caught up to him snd stopped him. "slow down. you're not getting hurt again."

"i won't, mark," protested donghyuck quietly.

he led mark into the graveyard, walking on the damp, cold grass. it was getting closer to winter now, so the two wore thicker coats and donghyuck wore a hat and a scarf, mark forcing him since he didn't want the younger to catch a cold.

mark observed the graveyard. it was run down and old. looking at some of the graves he saw the stones were dated back all the way to the early 1900s. he saw names of people he didn't know or never would know. he wondered if donghyuck knew anyone that was buried here.

"do you visit someone here?" asked mark as he sat on a taller gravestone. donghyuck stood in front of him.

"no. i used to come to this place when i had no where to go. it may seem weird but it was-"

"-kind of relaxing." mark finished the younger's sentence. "right." mark stuffed his hands in his pockets, not noticing what fell out of the pocket of his coat as he did so.

"mark... this is the picture of me," was all donghyuck said as he picked up the photo that had just tumbled out of mark's jacket pocket. at that moment mark silently cursed his damn big jacket pockets. he should've secured the picture in one if his inner pockets.

"it is," mark murmured as donghyuck handed him the picture, the one that had been setting on mark's nightstand when donghyuck came to his room. he stood up in front of the younger.

"why... why would you carry around a picture of me?"

mark didn't really know to explain himself. "i carry it around everywhere. i do it because..." he looked up at donghyuck. the beautiful, smart, and sassy boy he had fallen for. the person who made him realize what love was.

"i carry it around because it reminds me of who makes me happy," mark breathed.

donghyuck made eye contact with mark, sinking into his gaze immediately. "i make you happy?"

"yeah..." mark whispered. their faces were so close, mark could smell donghyuck's fresh breath. "you only make me happy. only you."

mark and donghyuck leaned in closer so their lips would brush. the gentle brush turned into a soft, slow kiss. mark brought donghyuck closer to him, hands rubbing random patterns on the boy's waist. donghyuck's fingers of one hand were woven into mark's hair while the other was on his neck. their bodies pressed impossibly closer as they continued kissing.

they split apart, panting, foreheads resting against each other before mark moved his face to donghyuck's neck, leaving soft and light kisses trailing from behind donghyuck's ear to his collarbones. in between each kiss mark would mumble donghyuck a soft praise or sweet nothings.

"donghyuck ah..." mark pressed his forehead back to the younger's and donghyuck hummed.

mark pressed soft kisses to donghyuck's lips. "do i have to explain how i feel?"

donghyuck shook his head and gave mark a peck at the corner of his lips. "no... i feel the same way."

mark gave the younger a soft look as he nuzzled their noses together. "i'm so glad, baby."

donghyuck was glad too. so glad.
