Final Round ⟨Markhyuck⟩ ||Completed

°Chapter thirty four°

It was the evening before the MMA fighting tournament. Donghyuck and the others were currently getting their weight weighed in by the fighting health commission, making sure their weight was cut right or else they wouldn't be able to fight the next day.

The promoters decided on having the weigh-ins the day before the tournament because there were so many fight matches the next day that it would be too much to cram in just a few hours before it all begins. Even though it doesn't really seem fair to be weighed in the day before because people can come in under weight or over weight the next day, the promoters would rather everything be dealt with organization.

All four of them: Donghyuck, Mark, Jeno, and Jisung weighed in accordingly as well as did their opponents. Luckily, everybody who was competing made their weight and now tomorrow was when the show finally begins, where Donghyuck is able to prove himself.

Donghyuck felt a little self cautious as they had to remove their shirts and pants when checking in their weight, but Mark was right beside him and made sure to assure the younger that he is beautiful just the way he is. They were in their own cubicle to get dressed. Donghyuck couldn't help but stare at Mark as the older was putting his clothes back on.

The older feeling the younger's staring eyes, chuckled at his boyfriend's obviousness.

"Are you going to keep staring or get dressed?" Mark asked, purposely sliding his shirt on slowly so that each of his abs disappeared one by one.

Donghyuck gulped at the sight as his face blushed beet red, his eyes averting elsewhere as he scrambled to put his clothes on.

"As much as I'd love to stare at you too, we're in public and I don't want anybody to get a look at what's mine," Mark growled, stepping closer to the younger who finished getting dressed and nodded his head at his words.

Mark smiled fondly at the younger and made sure they had everything before unlocking their cubicle, stepping outside of it and making their way to Johnny hand in hand.

"Great job in making weight boys! After the fights tomorrow, we'll go out for a treat," Johnny told them and Jisung jumped up and down and the mention of food, Donghyuck giggling at his younger brother.

Before heading back to the hotel, they stopped to grab dinner. Ten, Jaehyun, and Taeyong had met up with them at the sandwich shop that they're eating at.

"Are you guys excited?" Jaehyun asked the four of them who each nodded at the older man's question.

It was true. The four of them were extremely excited for tomorrow's fighting tournament. Donghyuck couldn't wait to finally be able to take this chance to prove himself, him also thinking of it as his mini debut to his fighting career.

They returned back into their separate hotel rooms, one for the adults and the other one for the teens. After showering and getting their outfits ready for tomorrow, the boys went to bed, Mark and Donghyuck cuddling one another with the younger's head buried in the older's chest.

A couple hours passed by and Donghyuck couldn't seem to fall asleep when everybody else already had. It was probably the anxiety of the upcoming match tomorrow, which reminded Donghyuck that he hadn't taken his medication earlier.

He carefully slid out of Mark's arms without waking him up and crept over to his bag, pulling out his medication bottle and taking one of the pills prescribed with some water to help swallow. Donghyuck thought he was being quiet, until he started choking on the water, mentally cursing himself out for drinking it too fast.

He kept his mouth shut as he coughed while his eyes started to water from the force of action. He drank a bit more water and put his things away, brining his arms over his head to breathe better. Doing all of this woke Mark up from his slumber. He hastily made his way out of bed when he noticed the younger choking.
