Mine || JohnHyuck - Markhyuck

Seventeen

Taeyong hasn't said a thing since they had that conversation. Doyoung thought things would start going normal- or as normal as things can get, but it's been pretty much the same. The two youngest members have been avoiding each other, and Johnny won't come out of his room, always locking the door the moment he gets home. Donghyuck has been crashing in his room often, and though he does care about the boy, he doesn't have room on his bed for two grown men.

Which left him with no choice but to barge into Taeyongs room, a look of annoyance clear on his face. He sighed and immediately walked over to where Taeyong was seated at his desk.

"What have you've been doing?" He asks a tad bit too loud. But he couldn't bring himself to care at this point. It was tiring and stressful to see your friends fall apart. He couldn't just stand and watch.

"I've been killing this whole lobby, I think I might win!" Taeyong says with a smile as he shoots another player, feeling proud of himself as he watches his kill count go up.

But his kill spree was cut short when the younger turned his chair around harshly, causing him to miss the shot. He whines as he watches someone kill him. "What was that for? I was doing so well." The leader says with a small pout.

"Now is not the time for games, we're in a state of emergency here! We can't keep going on like this, everyone is acting strange because of this and you aren't even doing anything." Doyoung says, feeling frustrated with the older male.

"Calm down. I have everything under control. I know it may not look like it- but I promise I know what I'm doing," Taeyong says calmly, patting Doyoung's arm. "There's no need to freak out, so for now, going back to your room."

Doyoung sighs. "You promise nothing bad will happen if I leave this to you?" He asks.

Taeyong nods.

"Fine. Goodnight." Doyoung says, before leaving the room, closing the door on his way out.

He makes his way to the kitchen to find himself something to drink. But when he got there, Johnny was leaning against the counter, a glass of water in hand as he stared off to no where in particular. He walks closer, over to where the cups were stored.

"I thought you were asleep?" Johnny says with confusion. He moved aside so the younger can get his cup.

"I was, but Donghyuck kept moving around." Doyoung said with a sigh. He was so close to finding sleep, but then the boy decided to kick him off, taking up his entire bed for himself. He was pretty sure he was sleeping on the couch tonight.

"Must suck to be you." Johnny jokes dryly.

Doyoung glares at him. "I wouldn't be in this situation if you'd just let Donghyuck sleep in his own room!" He says with annoyance.

Johnny looked at the younger, offended. "I'm not forcing him to stay out. That was his choice, he can come back anytime." Johnny says.

Doyoung sighs. "Johnny," he starts "what the hell is going on? You guys are acting like a bunch of kids right now." He knew he left this matter to Taeyong, but it wouldn't hurt to try and talk to Johnny.

"It's not me who's acting like a child, it's Donghyuck. If he wasn't so indecisive, or if he wasn't such a cheater, than maybe shit would be different," he says with a frown. "I've tried to reason this situation out with him, I gave him an easy way out, but he isn't picking, and I'm tired of feeling like this." He said, sighing. He chugs the last bit of water, before making his way back to his room.

"Wait, what do you mean cheater? You aren't making sense Johnny." Doyoung says, feeling very confused on this whole conversation.

"Ask Donghyuck. He's the one who wanted this whole thing to be a secret." Johnny said with a dry chuckle and bitter smile. He left the younger standing there with questions running through his head.

What did he mean by Donghyuck was a cheater? Easy way out? Indecisive? All these questions were running through his head, trying to fit the puzzle pieces together. But it was hard when half the puzzle were missing.

Donghyuck was good at acting like nothing was wrong. He was good at smiling at everyone, even Johnny and Mark. He was good at pretending things were as normal as it could possibly be. Donghyuck was good at lying, saying everything was okay and that he didn't need help with anything. He was so damn good, that Taeyong was almost convinced maybe things were settled between the three.

But that thought was quickly diminished when he accidentally eves dropped on Donghyuck and Johnny's conversation in the company bathroom.

"Can't you just make up your mind? You've been dragging this thing far too long now. I didn't sign up to be your second choice you know..." Johnny's said lowly, so quiet that Taeyong would've swore he might have heard wrong.

Donghyuck didn't reply. Instead, he turns the tap water own, washing his hands. Johnny laughed dryly. It's become a habit these days, not being able to laugh fully.

"The others want to know what's going on, but you still wanna keep it a secret. You know, I'm starting to think maybe you were ashamed, that you might've been using m-"

Donghyuck cut Johnny off before he could finish that sentence.

"I wasn't!"

Taeyong flinched.

"Then why are you so persistent on keeping it a secret? What's the reason? I understand you didn't want everyone to watch, but there's obviously another reason that you aren't telling me about." Johnny said, anger lingering in his tone. Taeyong could only imagine what he looked like, and he was just glad he wasn't in Donghyuck's position.

"There is no other reason!" Donghyuck shouted, but the hesitance was clear in his tone, and it was undeniably clear that he was lying. Maybe Donghyuck wasn't such a great liar after all...

The silence that came next was so loud, Taeyong could feel the tension seeping through the cracks of the bathroom stalls. He held his breath, terrified to move an inch. He wanted to peak through the crack of the door, to see what what going on. But he didn't want to gain attention, to be uncovered.

"Can we just stop this now? I'm tired Hyuck. I'm tired of coming home everyday only to feel like I've done something wrong, when I know I haven't. I'm tired of the other members giving me glares because they think I'm not letting you sleep in your bed. Haechan, please just make up your mind already," Johnny said softly, and the exhaustion in his voice made Taeyong feel bad for the man. There was so much going on between them, and though he didn't exactly know what it was about, he could tell Johnny was tired of the way things were going.

"I've given you enough time. I've let you have your fun with Mark and figure out your own feelings. I've given you space, and have given you the chance to just let this all go. I've waited, because I thought this whole Mark thing was you just being confused, but it's pretty obvious in who you want." Johnny said, a dry laugh pushing past his lips. Donghyuck sniffled, but didn't let himself cry. Because he didn't deserve to cry, not after what he's done to both Johnny and Mark. Heck, even too the whole group. He's been such a mess, and he was confused. God, was he lost.

"Fine." Donghyuck sighed softly, feeling like his heart was in his throat. He didn't feel ready to let go, he still very much liked Johnny. But with the way he's been towards him, maybe it was a good decision. "Let's break up."

Taeyong gasped, maybe a little too loud. He quickly opened the stall door and stared at a scared Donghyuck and a tired looking Johnny.

"You guys are dating!?"
