Chapter 22: Chapter 22

The sound of scratching on the wall just felt relaxing to the tall and fine man as he drew random patterns on them. At least he could still release his stress by using his graffiti talent and making those dull walls of the jail somewhat alive.

Though, surprisingly, every single pattern had a certain mark. Which literally were the images of…

“How has it been going here, hero?”

The voice took his attention as he moved from his previous spot, reaching his cell's door.

“The name's Jungwoo Kim, officer. Besides, I'm nowhere near to be called a hero.”

“Every man is a hero of his own story you know.”

The answer made Jungwoo chuckle. Maybe… He could be a hero but he wasn't sure if he had any story of his. “Anyways, as you asked, being here is actually stress relieving. I got to learn many things about my own self. I'm glad that destiny got me here.”

Now it was the officer's turn to chuckle. “Good that you liked it here but bad that your time is over.” The officer replied, making the latter gulp in disbelief. The expression on Jungwoo's face made the latter laugh unnecessarily loud.

“Not that way, kiddo. Your time inside these four walls is over. The man... I don't remember the name but a very young looking man bailed you. You are free now.”

Now Jungwoo widened his expression even more. “What? Bail? Who?”

The man grunted in somewhat annoyance as he replied. “I don't know. You ask too many questions. Just go and see yourself, he's waiting at the entrance. Go and live your life and let me live mine. You only live once.”

The officer didn't let Jungwoo do any more query as he unlocked the gate and motioned him to exit. Jungwoo bowed in a way to thank him and left the cell area, reaching the exit.

When he reached the lobby and saw the person who got him free, it just made him stunned.

Extremely, extremely stunned.

“Mark?”

The latter looked at him and their eyes got locked for a moment. And, the very moment had butterflies inside his stomach instantly. Though, it was not surprising to him anymore as by then, he knew why he felt that way.

Mark didn't say anything. He just kept looking him in the eye and he looked… Sad.

He then motioned him to follow while exiting himself. Jungwoo was just too confused but he followed without any query, nonetheless.

“Damn this unpleasant hasty rain!” Jungwoo cursed as they waited for the heavy rain to stop.

The weather seemed just fine when Mark had picked him from the police station. He wondered as to why did the latter not bring any driver and drove himself. Well, it was not like he included any of his servants whenever they had meetups and all but still…

Anyways, as they were on their way to God or should he say Mark knew what place as the younger just kept driving in silence. He didn't even give a glance to him.

And then this heavy rain appeared in the scene which had them stopped around some road by the woods. Which made it even awkward and Jungwoo was losing his cool.

“I am sorry.”

Jungwoo looked up at Mark, who was still looking forward, and was surprised because of the sudden apology. It was even the first time the latter spoke since they met after a long time.

“For what?”

The shorter then turned his head as he started speaking, “For everything.” He pursed his lips before continuing. “For hurting you, hurting your husband. Making you a bad person, making things worse and then leaving you there in jail when it was not even your fault!”

“Would it be weird if I'd say that these things actually made me realize my own mistakes and somewhat even helped me knowing many things about my own self which I never knew before.

And that's why, I'm thankful for whatever happened. I'm grateful that I… Met you.”

Mark chuckled at the last sentence. “You shouldn't be grateful for meeting such a monster like me.”

“Hey, you are not a monster, Mark. It's just, things and surroundings make people who they are. When things are difficult or drastically different than what is considered normal, people also become way different than others. For some people, they are positive and for some, they're negative. And I guess, you just had to face the negative ones.” Jungwoo honestly regretted what he said. He didn't know but it just constructed into his mind automatically. He always felt that Mark had something, something about his family, his past and his life together, which was not easy.

Which was painful, and loveless.

He even thought of asking many times but never couldn't gain the courage and until now, he was hesitant to ask anything that deep about his life. One of the minimal things he knew was that Mark was Donghyuck's boyfriend and the latter cheated on him. Nothing more about his personal life or just him as a person.

“I was around three when my mother left me…”

Mark's line broke Jungwoo's thought and they reminded him of their first meeting.

“I never had siblings and Daddy was always busy with work. The only thing I had around me since I was a kid was money. And I always thought it was all I needed until I met Donghyuck. His presence made me addicted to the presence of someone who would listen to me, talk to me, care about me and… Love me.” He stopped for a moment before continuing.

“I thought that he loved me back or even that I was in love with him. I was desperate, so, so desperate that I made an unhealthy obsession with him when he refused my feelings. No one had ever said no to me but him. I was hurt. I was offended, extremely offended by his act that I started doing crazy things to make him love me when in fact, I was just ruining his life because it calmed my triggered pride. And then, just like you said, I also started realizing my mistakes and maybe, my emotions and mainly, my real self.”

Jungwoo actually wanted to say many things but the thing that automatically came from his mouth was, “So you lied to me about your and Donghyuck's relationship?”

“To be honest, I lied to you about many things.” Mark answered and they both laughed lightly at that.

“Since everything is over, and I literally have no reason to be here anymore, I'm flying back to Canada.”

That got Jungwoo off guard as he widened his eyes in shock and asked, “What? You're...

Leaving?”

“Yes. And, before I leave, I wanted to ask you, why did you save me?”

The question was a bit hard to answer clearly. The situation was already obvious and then Mark the audacity to ask such questions while looking just as pretty.

“Well, as I said, I always felt you have faced difficult times and I wanted to make it easy for you this time round. You're really young, Mark. There's still so much time for you to learn. That's why I helped you provide the time.”

“Ohh… Is that so… I guess, thank you?” Mark said, sounding not so impressed with Jungwoo's answer.

Jungwoo chuckled at the younger's reaction. He was not only unimpressed but man… He was pouting also. “Did you not like my answer?” “No, it's not that. I was just…”

“What did you want to listen to, Mark?”

There was silence after Jungwoo's question before Mark finally started speaking. “I recently got to know that true love is not something we choose to do. It just happens. When you feel safe with someone, when you feel cared for by someone. When you just can't stop thinking about someone because you feel… Attached to someone.”

“Oh really? What else did you get to know?” Jungwoo whispered and only then they realized how close they were as they felt each other's breath. It seemed as if that happened in a blink of an eye.

“That… True love doesn't have to be first.” Mark said, looking straight in the elder's eyes, which seemed to be looking at his lips.

“Do you also know that true love doesn't always require a confession as well.” “Is that so?”

“Yes. Sometimes, you just need to feel it, instead of speaking.” Jungwoo lifted his hand slowly, reaching Mark's cheek. The latter leaned in his touch and he realized that it was the first he was actually feeling the latter's skin. Which just felt as delicate as he thought. Or even more.

“Sometimes, you just need to go on without thinking.” And with that, he finally sealed their lips.

Without speaking, without thinking, going on with their feelings.

Mark's lips felt as if they were soaked in watermelon. The difference was only that, Jungwoo wasn't very fond of the fruit but was extremely fond of those lips.

The horn of the car was honked accidentally by Mark as the younger struggled on the driver's seat.

Jungwoo slightly lifted him and pulled him onto his side, making him sit on his lap.

Now they both were freely face to face as they continued their business. Mark held on the latter's jaw as leaned down. Jungwoo asked for entrance which the latter easily granted. He explored his sweet and slimy mouth and it felt as if he was exploring heaven.

He then started sliding his hand under the younger's shirt and roamed his palms on his body while rolling his mouth down to his neck and bruising that intensively clean and baby skin, making the younger moan.

“Mark.” He said in between the kisses to which the latter just hummed. “Since when?”

Mark pulled away and looked at the taller for a second. “The day you slapped me, was the day I realized how much I needed more of it. How much I needed more of you.” He said as he caressed the latter's cheek. “Your hit indeed got me to my senses.” The shorter answered making the latter giggle. “How about you?” He asked, raising an eyebrow fiercely.

“The night I laid my eyes on you for the very first time. Really. It might not be exactly love at first but, something about just made me want to protect you. Especially the day that fucking Daniel tried to touch you I was just-”

“Hey, you're sweating.” Mark said as he noticed the latter clenching his fists and burning hot.

“Yes I am! I can't stand someone else looking at you the way I do. Thinking about you the way I do, touch you the way I do or anything that only I'm supposed to do!” At that point, Jungwoo was indeed looking ready to knock anyone anytime soon.

“And… What are the things that only you're supposed to do…” Mark asked slowly while biting his bottom lip and Jungwoo swore he could suck those lips until they bleed and get even redder than they already were.

“I'd rather show.” Jungwoo whispered and connected his mouth back to Mark's neck while unbuttoning his shirt a little from the top, making his shoulders and chest exposed. He started rolling down and bit on his collarbone making the latter whimper.

Mark's skin actually felt extremely fine and pure just as he thought. He didn't want to leave any bruise on that clear skin of his, but he just couldn't control. Not anymore.

He then attacked on his nipples and started sucking them hungrily while Mark helped him undo his own shirt. The shorter then went to undo his pants and Jungwoo asked, “Mark, whoa… Babe?” “Please, Senior Jungwoo is so dashing. I want to see the dashingness of junior Jungwoo too.”

What? Wasn't that even the first time Mark had said his name. What a great way to hear your name from your lover for the first time.

Mark completely kneeled down in front of the elder and carefully undid his belts and pants as if he was placing glass antics on some altar. Both of the men's eyes went wide after seeing how huge and hard junior Jungwoo was.

“It looks like my watermelon flavoured lollipop!” Jungwoo widened his eyes to which the latter just giggled and continued with his act.

He slowly reached Jungwoo's member and tapped his fingers through the tip, one by one, making the latter hiss lightly. He then started stroking slowly, decreasing the coldness of the flesh. “Am I… Doing it right?"

“You're absolutely great.”

Mark felt satisfied with the comment and kept going to make the taller feel even better. After a few minutes of stroke and massage, he finally landed his mouth on the tip, giving a light kiss before swallowing the member slowly.

He then started pacing up as Jungwoo rested himself on his seat while exhaling heavily. “Ahh

Mark… You're so perfect. So fucking perfect.”

The elder started jerking up in desperation, deep throating the younger more and more until the petite man started gagging.

“Oh my why! Babe, you fine?”

The latter licked Jungwoo's liquid from his lips while wiped the rest from his face and made a gleeful expression. “You even taste like my favourite lollipop. Or even sweeter. You're my favourite lollipop from now on.”

“Am I really that tasty? Well then, I also deserve a taste of you.”

Mark stood in excitement, hitting the car's roof leaving an, “Owhh.”

The scene made the elder chuckle as he asked. “Shall we?”

The younger man smiled while blushing and the latter moved to the backseat then helped Mark with joining him too.

Jungwoo laid Mark on the seat and got on top of him. He caressed the latter's cheek first to which the young man closed his eyes, loading himself into the touch.

He now discarded his shirt entirely and left a trail of kisses all over his body, bruising and marking him as his.

After feeling satisfied with the graffiti he did on Mark, he went between the younger's legs and slowly removed his pants along with the undergarments. And the sight slightly surprised him.

“Seems like someone is heavily wet.” He said while sliding his tall fingers around Mark's entrance, making the younger whine for more. Jungwoo giggled.

He first entered two fingers at once only to realize that the latter was virgin. He then got a bit hesitant but kept his pace going. After awkwardly fingering, he started lowering himself to lick the younger but stopped for a second when the latter spoke, “Why are you so nervous? First time?” Mark teased and giggled when Jungwoo's face went red in embarrassment.

“Well yes. It is someone's first time.”

“Well that someone is not nervous and you shouldn't too.” Jungwoo rolled his eyes at the latter's comment and went back to what he was doing.

He first traced circles around Mark making the other giggle in tickle. Then he moved in the center and slowly entered inside. And he had to admit that the latter didn't only look like an expensive wine, but even tasted like one. No wonder those ignorants looked at him like he was some piece of meat and hungered hastily. Thankfully, he could protect Mark from now on.

After he was done with licking and thought that Mark was prepared, he adjusted himself between the latter but stopped suddenly as a concerned expression appeared on his face.

“Mark, do you not think we are going too fast? Especially when it's your first time. Do you…

Really want it to be me?”

Mark got up to face Jungwoo properly while he spoke, “I mean, in the end it'd be obviously you then why not now? As for being first, I would have done this really earlier if I wanted to. But I guess, it's always been you. Only you. No other. I might be not your first but at least you're mine and that's what makes me even happier.”

Jungwoo lowered his face in a saddening and apologetic way. Mark grabbed his jaw and turned his face back to him. “Hey, there is nothing to feel bad about. You just said that things and situations are sometimes different for some people. We might have come from different islands, but we can always be on the same boat. And now that we are together, let it just float.”

There was a moment of silence as the two just looked in each other's eyes. It seemed as if they were speaking a lot of syllables just by their eyes.

“I love you Mark.”

“I love you most, Jungwoo.”

And that was just enough to get their bodies linked as one. They both fell smoothly on the seat as Jungwoo went deeper in Mark. The voices of them making love and heavy rain just made it even perfect. They both felt as if they were in heaven. Well, they were indeed each other's heaven.

“Oh gosh, Jungwoo…” Mark moaned his lover's name in pleasure.

“Gosh! I love you Mark. I love you so damn much!”

“I already said the most so I believe I owe no explanation.”

“You never stop being cocky huh.”

“You love it.” Mark again cockily replied and the latter giggled while agreeing.

“I couldn't use the perfume you gifted me this time.” Jungwoo spoke out of the blue.

“It was never the perfume which smelled good.” Mark commented and the elder blushed in response.

“Are you still thinking of going to Canada?”

“I can go wherever as long as you're with me.”

Jungwoo leaned in and they kissed each other with more passion. “You are my destiny, Mark.”

“And I'm destined to you, Jungwoo.”
