I steal a few breaths from the world for a minute~ And then I'll be nothing forever~ And all of my memories~ And all of the things I have seen will be gone~ With my eyes, with my body, with me~
"Mark, this is my new partner, be nice to him. He's like around your age," his father stated. Mark nodded, he's seen this boy before. It's that one younger kid, under his grade.
Now, Donghyuck was in it for the money, of course. It was no surprise for Mark. They come and go, but a literal 17-year old boy, from his high school? How much does his abusive father want to piss Mark off?
"Ah, hyung, hi," Donghyuck muttered in a quiet tone.
"Whatever," Mark muttered, he sounded extremely pissed, mad, or salty. I can't briefly tell.

Dinner was even more awkward. It was n unbearable thing to handle. Luckily, Donghyuck wasn't related to Mark in any sort of way. Donghyuck was gone into his room after dinner.
"Look, Mark. I know you don't like this, but you have to deal with it. Be nice to him. He's practically scared and isn't that comfortable yet. You've chased away most of my past lovers, and it's gone too far," Mark's father said.
"Whatever. I don't want anything to do with him," Mark commented, he stormed off. His father poured himself some wine later, to destress.
But me and my husband~ We are doing better~ It's always been just him and me~ Together~ So I bet all I have on that~ Furrowed brow~ And at least in this lifetime~ We're sticking together~ Me and my husband~ We're sticking together~
Donghyuck spent with the family for at least a couple of months, and Mark had been physically abused by his father either drunk or just not. Either way, Mark was like his punching bag. But, that also meant that Donghyuck got close to his son.
"What?" Mark asked in a scary tone, which frightened Donghyuck.
"Can I help you out?" Donghyuck asked, he was carrying the medkit. Mark sighed and sat on the bed, letting Donghyuck help him with his wounds. Mark finally could feel a sense of safety when Donghyuck was around. It was a nice and calm feeling.
"Donghyuck..." Mark muttered out his name.
"Hm?" Donghyuck asked, tilting his head. Mark stretched out his arms, Donghyuck hugged him tightly. "Let's get my dad to jail, you're only here for the money right? I'll pay you, I just want him in jail, for abuse and minor stuff. You're only 18, aren't you?" Mark questioned. Donghyuck blushed from embarrassment, so he knows.

Donghyuck would spend an unusually amount of time with Mark on the weekends. It really wasn't anything, either doing homework, cuddling, and things that are soft.
And I'm the idiot with the painted face~ In the corner, taking up space~ But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved~
Donghyuck was ordered in the living room.
"How's your day?" Donghyuck asked.
"I've been fine," He said, then he noticed something.
"What's this," Mark's father asked, pulling down Donghyuck's shirt. Donghyuck pushed him away, biting his bottom lip, Donghyuck was also afraid of him.
"Where did you get this from?!" He asked in an angry tone of voice.
"Nowhere," Donghyuck muttered. Mark heard his father's loud booming voice, and he quickly got off of his bed.
"Donghyuck, let me ask you again, who's hickey is that?!" His father's loud voice boomed through the household. Mark peeped from the doorway thing as he spotted his father beginning to choke Donghyuck. Mark pulled his father off of Donghyuck, kinda of like making sure he's okay.
"Oh, now I see what this is..." His father said, it was an extremely scary tone. Donghyuck felt like he was frozen, unlike Mark who was used to this.
"What? You said to be nice to him, so I was," Mark spat. Donghyuck was shaking, tugging on Mark's sweater.
"I see, so you've been cheating on me, with my own son," He chuclked, but it wasn't a friendly type of laugh. It was a sort of mocking tone. Mark mocked him "Ha, he's only been here for the money, you expect someone to actually love someone who is cruel to his own son?"
Donghyuck held onto his phone, which lay in his pocket. He was ready to dial the police. They kept arguing, and Donghyuck quickly slipped away, he knows Mark's father, he would beat the shit out of his son.
The arrived quickly and arrested Mark's father. Mark was beaten badly, and he was rushed to the hospital. Donghyuck had to explain the only information he knew about it.
Me and my husband~ We are doing better~ It's always been just him and me~ Together~ So I bet all I have on that~ Furrowed brow~ And at least in this lifetime~ We're sticking together~ Me and my husband~ We're sticking together~ Me and my husband~ We are doing better~
After a whole year, Mark embraced Donghyuck tightly. They got him for trial and he was finally murdered. Not that, many things also happened during those times, with Mark finally getting together with Donghyuck. Mark graduated, attended college, Donghyuck staing with Mark throughout those pains. Even though with all those abusive troubles, he got a boyfriend out of it.
"Finally, I feel free for once," Mark muttered softly into Donghyuck's ear.
"Mark..." Donghyuck muttered, he hugged Mark back. By this time, Mark's in college, and Donghyuck was in his last year of highschool.
"Hey, wanna buy an apartment together? Just the two of us?" Mark asked the boy, full of shock on his face.
"Yeah, I want to," Donghyuck said, he begun tearing up. Mark grinned from ear to ear.
