String Fate [MarkHyuck]

17

Mark felt like he wasn't doing the right thing for once in his life, back when he married Jaemin he was so sure, but now he wasn't, seeing the smile fade on his best friend's face didn't feel right. Maybe Marriage was a bad decision. Maybe the whole fiasco of getting married wasn't the greatest idea. For all he knew the brunette probably never liked him like he like the boy. He tied his bow tie, his hair styled up, knowing that it wasn't nice to barge into the bride's quarters he did anyways.

"Hyung!" Sungchan screamed, Taeyong gasped, as Donghyuck sat before the large mirror. Without makeup, with this usual clothes. He wasn't ready.

"Teddy?" Mark whispered making Donghyuck slowly turn around. His brothers leaving so they'd have privacy.

Donghyuck bit his lips, he couldn't fathom the fact he was marrying the man he worked for, his boss, the young master of the Resonance company. His best friend. To be lawfully Marks, to live with him as his wife. How was he even supposed to give himself up to this handsome man before him?

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have umm kissed you or assumed you loved me back like........I'm sorry I violated our friendship. You know I can call of the wedding if you want. It's okay." Mark fell on his knees as he looked up at the brunette.

It was as if only Mark had been excited for the whole thing, Donghyuck nor his brothers weren't even dressed, the time ticked by, the later it got it would be obvious that the bride didn't want to marry the man at the alter. Donghyuck bit his lips, his eyes turned glassy, he wanted to say something but he hasn't been able to speak properly before Mark anymore after their first kiss.

"Look we still have time, if you don't want this then I'll call of the wedding, let's go back to how things were before. Best friend's or if that makes you feel awkward I can go manage the company in Vancouver. It's not a big deal. Haechan.......Don't do it because I asked you, I don't want to have another divorce. So you can leave if you want to." Mark smiled, he wasn't lying, he'll call off the wedding if that's what the younger wanted.

As long as Donghyuck was happy, a thought made Mark sink his frame, did Jaemin really love him back then when he married him? Or was just obliged to marry him because he thought he liked him back? Did Mark convince the boy to do so? Perhaps that's why he eventually fell in love with the florist. He looked back at Donghyuck, tears splashed on the stubby arms.

"Go home Donghyuck. I'll call it all off. You don't have to force yourself if you don't want anything of this." Mark whispered as he stood up to leave. Donghyuck held his arm, the boy couldn't bring himself to say anything.

"Yeah?" Mark turned around, the younger bit his lips, he gulped.

"Please." The brunette whispered, he was crying.

"What do you want me to do? Okay.......I'll stand at the alter for an hour, if you don't want to come then it's alright. I'll call it off. It's better to call it off than divorce each other later right?" Mark whispered softly as he walked off through the door.

The crowd of people squealed when Mark made his way up the aisle, he looked perfect, like the prince everyone wanted and wished for. But his mother knew something was off. She lifted her eyebrows at her son, he only have a small smile.

Donghyuck stared at himself on the mirror, regardless of time, contemplating if he should stay or leave. Mark did leave the door open for him to runaway, to go back to every like it was. But why didn't he want that? His brothers noticed it too. It was too obvious to not notice that something was wrong.

"Hyung let's go. It's been fifteen minutes already." Sungchan nudged his brother.

"Haechan do you want this? Do you want to be married to him? Do you love him?" Taeyong caressed the chubby cheeks.

"Yes. But........I'm scard. I-Im not ready. Or am I? Hyung he's.......my best friend but I love him......but....but marriage is like you I mean I'm not ready. I uhh I'm afraid." Donghyuck was a mess, of course he would be.

"You are afraid to have sex? To do it with your best friend? Hyuck he gave you a choice, to walk down the aisle and to be his wife or runaway and be free." Taeyong whispered softly with care.

"It's not that!! Yeah maybe I am afraid I urghh I don't know I won't be able to live with the fact that I left the guy I love so much at the alter because I was afraid to give myself up on our wedding night?!" Donghyuck snapped, he didn't mean to though.

"Mark hyung will understand. He always does hyung. He wouldn't hate you. The doesn't even hate Jaemin hyung then why would he hate you?" Sungchan pouted.

"Yes. If you don't show up the wedding will be called off and he go to Vancouver. You'll still be here, with us, you guys can be friends again or just live away from one another. It's okay if you aren't ready baby." Taeyong hugged Donghyuck tightly.

Mark licked his dry lips, he felt awkward to stand at the alter knowing his bride wouldn't show up. Everyone was looking and whispering as to why the bride hadn't come yet. He looked at his mother, who looked so upset. Taking a deep breath he face the pastor.

"He-He........" It pained Mark to say this but he didn't have a choice. He just wanted his teddy bear to be happy.

"He isn't coming Father." Mark smiled as a tear rolled down his cheek.
