No words of his friends, siblings, or Coach Lee were comforting him as he tried his best to get through the troubles of not knowing what was happening with Mark...
With Johnny and Gabe being as clueless to Mark's current state as Donghyuck was, the worst thoughts were coming to his mind. Donghyuck also didn't have a way of contacting Jinhyung so that was an out.
There was no way that he was going to risk Mark's mom's life so Donghyuck couldn't simply get information about what the hell was happening.
Donghyuck could replay the image of Mark's face of panic while the door pounded in the background with the anger of his father's voice.
"You need to understand, Hyuck," Coach Lee stood behind the boards as Donghyuck moved his skates in small half-circles. "Your life can't stop just because-"
"I know!" Donghyuck interjected. "Everyone has been saying that I can't live my life revolving around him and my feelings are constantly getting hurt by him. I can't help but worry. He is my-"
"You can worry, Hyuck," Coach Lee leaned his arms against the boards. "But that isn't what I'm questioning."
Donghyuck combed his hair back as his head turned toward his coach.
"Huh?"
Coach Lee straightened her long black jacket as she pulled her hair behind her ears.
"You have been in a long funk since Worlds and most of the time, it is because of Mark-"
"You want me to break up with him?" Donghyuck bit his lip as he stared at the ice below him.
"That isn't what I said," Coach Lee spoke evenly. "I want you to think about it. Talk to him. Maybe-"
"But we have!" Donghyuck put his hands on the boards as tears brimmed his eyes.
Tears somehow always seemed to come to his eyes now.
"Then, what do you want to do?" Coach Lee put her hands over his as he kept his head where it was. "These tears have been here for months, Donghyuck-ah. Is it worth it?"
His fists clenched as he let himself cry.
"Damn it!" Donghyuck yelled into the cold air with the cold steam leaving his mouth.
