Hybrid - NCT dream ( HRJ; LDH)

caught

2021 july 23rd

Mrs Lee was on her way to wake up the two boys that were still deep asleep. After Renjun came over the previous afternoon the two barely left the room, chatting and gaming until late into the night. It was nothing new for her, as the boys had always done that when having their hangout/sleepover parties.

Opening the door yet another familiar sight greeted the middle aged woman. Renjun was cocooned in the blanket on one edge of the bed while Hyuck was spread out like a starfish half on and half dangling off the rest of his mattress. The two somehow always ended up in this position by the morning, and then would cuddle together when it's time to get up.

The mother easily made her way to the window pulling the black curtains open and letting the sun light up the room. Turning around a small red glittering thing caught her eye on her son's wrist, but before she could take a closer look, the said arm had snaked itself around the blanket burrito, hiding the tattoo.

Hyuck let out a groan as light invaded the darkness in the room, the sun shining on his face without any mercy. Trying to avoid the brightness he instinctively turned to his side, cuddling Renjun and trying to hide his face under the blanket surrounding the other.

His mom just stood there watching her eldest still act like a baby with a gentle smile on her face. This must have been the reason why Donghyuck had seemed so distracted the past weeks, and the two boys probably talked about it all evening.

Renjun's head slowly wiggled itself out of the white cotton wrapping him, and smiled softly at the woman that was about to leave the room. "Good morning~" his raspy and quiet voice said before he turned around to inspect the sudden weight that had been pressing down on him since a few minutes ago. His messy silver hair hid most of his face, his slight pout and the squishy cheeks being the only noticeable things.

"Come on boys, it's already past eleven, you should get up and eat something." The woman chimed before turning around and leaving the room, knowing that Renjun would probably drag her son out of bed soon.

Hyuck still had one of his legs thrown over the Chinese boy's stomach, fixing him in place with its weight. His one hand had managed to sneak into the blanket barrier the other has created around himself, and was now across Renjun's chest. Head buried in the neck of the shorter male and feeling comfortable, Donghyuck resumed his sleep that had been disturbed earlier.

"So what now? What will this mean for us?" Renjun was staring at the ceiling while his mind replayed their talks from the previous night. They were soulmates. All three of them. But what does that mean for their future? And does Seol even want a soulmate? Will she want THEM as her soulmates?

A hand has appeared in front of his eyes, the outstretched index finger pushing down on the space between his brows that he didn't realize he had furrowed. Donghyuck's sleepy voice was clear despite his face being squished against his shoulder. "Don't do it Jjun. Stop overthinking about it this early in the morning."

"You do know that it's almost noon, right?" And this made the tan male chuckle, pulling the smaller boy even closer to himself.

"Let's just leave it for now... we'll see what to do next after Seolie is back and we get a clear picture of the situation."

Donghyuck couldn't see the surprised expression on his friend's face, as he, for once said something reasonable. It would be Renjun who usually says things like that to calm the hot-headed pudu down and not the other way around, but he was glad that he could count on Hyuck if he needed to lean onto someone.

By the time the two finally exited the bedroom, looking somewhat presentable, it was already time for lunch, so they skipped their breakfast and went directly for the food on the table.

From the constant looks Mrs Lee gave her eldest son Renjun guessed that she saw the small mark earlier, and would definitely question them after the meal.
