Heat (Yumark)

Chapter Twelve

Yuta sighed in relief.

Jaehyun was stabilized.

They figured out who attacked him.

And now Yuta was on the couch with his boyfriend.

Surrounded by their fellow gang members, their friends.

Everyone was quiet, Mark was pressed up against Yuta's side his head on his shoulder. Yuta had his arm around Mark, keeping him as close as possible. Mostly everyone was sat like the two. The need for moral support was high.

After some time passed, Yuta gained the confidence to speak. "As everyone knows, Jaehyun was attacked this morning. He identified the attacker as Woojin himself, and is in the hospital healing with Johnny keeping guard.  I personally think the main reason he was attacked was because of my and Taeyong's mistake. If it is because of that, he will most likely come after Mark and myself, and probably continue to go after Jaehyun. But this doesn't mean you guys are safe. Stay in pairs, keep a weapon on you, got it?"

Everybody nodded.

"Alright. Emergency meeting over. See everyone later."

Yuta sighed when everyone left. He wrapped his arms around Mark.

Ever since they got back from the hospital, Mark was quiet. Yuta knew it was because he was scared. Scared for his own life. Scared for those around him.

Yuta was about to suggest they watch a movie when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it."

Mark just nodded.

"Hey Yuta hyung. Is Mark here?"

Mark looked over to the door. Jaemin was standing in the doorway, a worried look on his face.

He rushed over to the couch and sat down next to him. "Mark are you okay? You haven't answered your phone the past two days."

"I'm fine."

"No you're not. I can tell."

"I said I'm fine."

Jaemin jumped at the tone his friend used. He never used an aggressive tone with his friends. Ever.

"Mark please talk to me. I want to help you."

"I said leave me alone!" Mark got up from the couch and stormed into Yuta's room, slamming the door behind him.

Jaemin stared in shock.

"I'm sorry Jaemin," Yuta pushed his hair back. "He's just stressed out recently."

"I understand. I'll get going then."

"It's okay Jaemin. He'll come out eventually."

"No it's really okay." Jaemin laughed. "I was on my way to meet Jeno anyways. I just thought I'd stop by to check on Mark."

"Alright have a good day then."

"Bye Yuta hyung."

Yuta walked Jaemin to the door waving a quick goodbye before shutting the door behind him. He decided to risk Mark's wrath and walked to his room.

When he opened the door, he noticed Mark wasn't on the bed. He wasn't sitting in the comfy armchair by the window either. He walked all over his room looking for the younger, unable to locate him.

Until he heard the shower water running. He decided to take his chances and opened the bathroom door.

Mark was sitting on the floor in the shower, fully clothed.
