How much pain can your heart feels? How vulnerable are your feelings actually are? How stubborn can you be? All the questions are now collided not only on the young boy who is laying unconsciously behind the close doors but also on the man that is standing outside of it. It's so late at night, the lights have been turned off a while now so Mark could not understand why he is standing still in front of his bedroom, acting all devastated. Two years. Is it how fast you can turn into a whole different person for someone else, to let your long shielded-heart to have a crack, just small enough for one individual to fill in? As the "dangerous man" he is, he forces himself to be emotionless, not only for the family's growth but also to make sure that his brother, his niece and nephew could be protected so it's confusing to him how he wants this sixteen years old boy to be involved too. He is baffled how he can feels himself changing every milliseconds everyday and can't stop it. Is it a good or a bad thing? Either way, he is sure that putting a merciless bullet in 0606's head won't solve any of those problems. "Open the door Mark", a familiar voice rings against his ear. Jaehyun. He looks cockily tired. Obviously, from all the overwhelming works he has been pushing on the guy pettily (but secretly) has tired him out, just like what he did to Sooyoung. But he punished him more because he knows how understanding is Jaehyun towards him, how he has this ugly smirk on his face because he gets it damn well what is going on in Mark's head. "I know you miss him, at least guilty for what you did. Open the goddamn door, I have fed him some sleeping pills in the afternoon since he has been fighting with himself instead of getting sleep", the man annoyingly said, letting out a "tch" noise. Both sarcasm and pity invaded his words. "Not wanting to get better just to hide from one another. I hate that how differently similar you guys are" "Shut it Jae", Mark gritted through his teeth. But his hand is already on the door handle. "Get lost"。。。。
The door closed behind his back, shutting him with 0606. Mark scoffed lightly when he saw the remaining bruises that are still visible on his face. He didn't even try to push it away.
Slowly but surely, he walked over the bed where the younger is sleeping on, moonlight shines through the window, got passed the curtains and peacefully landed a kiss of its glory on 0606's face, embracing his hidden beauty.
Mark sits down the chair next to him, exhales the breath that he didn't even know that he was holding. The pain is lounging him. Not only mentally physically but also mentally. He guessed that is also what follows after he has been raising, crafting 0606 for the last 730 days.
The older raised his hand and stopped mid-air as if his guts is telling him not to fall in deeper what he knows will damage him. But no one is here to witness and Mark has went through so much pain to be numb with it. And he touched the boy's hair, gently playing with the soft strands while the other hand slowly traces down the structure of his face.
He has saw everything. All the most beautiful woman and men in palaces, all the flowers on the trips he take and all the days on nights on foreign lands but no beauty is comparable with 0606's. His features, how delicate yet sharp he looks is one God's present.
And he owns it, he owns it all of 0606.
The boy shuffles in his sleep, sleepy eyes peered through long lashes. The magic work of the pills from Jaehyun is over, leaving them inside the room, eyes meeting each other.
"Ma...master", he whimpered and tried to gets up but just a firm grip on his shoulder from Mark stopped him immediately. "Did something happen?"
"Nothing Haechan, I was just checking out if you're ready to come back to work", Mark coughed lightly, and push himself back to his chair, the sentence puffed out of his mouth as soft as a whisper. He was taken back.
But that slipped the younger's mind because...
"Did you just call me Haechan?"
Haechan. The name itself has already explained it "shine bright uprightly". Just like how the younger has shed a light into his light and even though he didn't know about its appearance at first, it surely changed him and give him what he needed.
