"no...! i can't go out like that!"

mark facepalmed at the younger's refusal. apparently, norenmin's 3rd year anniversary is coming up, and those 2 idiots, also known as nomin, decided to throw a party without informing their third boyfriend or anyone else. they invited everyone, including mark, except for renjun as they wanted this to be a surprise for him.

mark didn't want donghyuck to be left out, so he decided to take him along....until the younger refused the offer.

"why not? it looks like you haven't had fun in ages, and you really need to loosen up one day or another!" mark defended.

"what if jun finds out? you'd be in so much trouble, and who knows what he'll...do to me..." donghyuck trailed off as he started to sniffle, meaning he is about to cry. "besides, it's your friends' anniversary, i don't have a say in that..."

"oh, donghyuckie..." he placed both of his hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer. "if they are my friends, they are also your friends too. and sejun wouldn't do anything, i promise. you just have to be back home at the correct time, right?"

"yes...he would mostly come home during late midnight..." donghyuck said reluctantly. "but i'm still sceptical about this..."

"don't worry, it will be alright." mark reassured him. "now, let's find you some new clothes..."

"you two, are you completely sure this is a good idea...?" jungwoo asked the two concerningly, while looking around at the posh hotel room they booked for their boyfriend.

"yes it is, hyung, now help us already! the party is about to start in an hour or two," jeno replied, in a rather amusing way. most of their parties turns out to be windows of time for literally any couple to do their thing, and jungwoo knew damn well what norenmin are up to this time.

he reluctantly stood up and helped the couple decorate the room, while worrying about lucas in the back of his head. jungwoo left him with the two maknaes, and knowing them (and lucas), they'll likely mess something up, even if he is in a wheelchair.

and it looks like he thought too soon as he heard the noises of a fast vehicle zooming through, with a dolphin laugh resonating throughout the room, followed by a deep chuckle.

the door slammed open, revealing lucas, chenle and jisung, all three completely excited for the occasion.

"oh you three finally came? now help us already," jungwoo said annoyingly as he went back to work.

"mark-hyung is coming too," chenle exclaimed. "he told he's bringing a friend along with him, but i don't know who he is."

"he has friends other than us? that's a surprise..." jungwoo trailed off. "anyways, when is he coming?"

"in 15 minutes, but i'm not so sure."

"i swear, if he doesn't show up, i'm going to strangle him," jungwoo muttered under his breath.

(A/N: don't ask me why junguwu is being like renjun, i have no fucking clue 😭)

mark waited patiently as he sat in a chair, waiting for donghyuck to show up. "are you done yet...?" he asked out, a reply in the affirmative coming back immediately after.

donghyuck came out of the room wearing the clothes he chose for him, and mark couldn't help but stare at all his glory. even though he was just wearing a new oversized shirt and ripped jeans, he looked absolutely beautiful to his eyes.

"why are you staring...?" he asked feebly, looking at his stupified expression. he waved his hand over mark's face, jolting him out of his trance.

"oh, uh, s-sorry..." mark said, face flushing red due to embarrassment.

"you know...you never fail to amaze me," donghyuck sat adjacent to him, their noses almost touching. "you bringing me my comfort food for no reason, you burning eggs even though it's the easiest thing to fry, and now your friends...it's weird for me, but, i'm getting used to it, and i'm starting to like you even more..."

(A/N: k but hyuck gives me vibes of my gf ngl-)

out of instinct, donghyuck came closer to mark, their noses already touching. interlocking their fingers, the atmosphere around them blurred into oblivion.

mark knew what to do, he tilted his head, closing his eyes, while the younger did the same. he tried to come closer to him, when suddenly-

"so this is your 'friend', huh, hyung? sorry to invade your private time~"

the duo jolted out in surprise when they heard a voice teasing the two. he recognized his annoying orange-haired friend, chenle.

"why the hell are you even here?! we're not even late," he exclaimed at him, not exactly glad that he interrupted their...private time.

"well, we need you and your...friend there before the main guest, hyung," chenle said, emphasizing the 'friend'. "besides, i was bored, so i wanted to get out of there."

"alright, chenle, we'll come in a few minutes," he reassured the younger, while subtly telling him to get the hell out of here.

"alright, you two, but i don't think jungwoo-hyung would be happy to see you two covered in kisses," chenle said disapprovingly. "especially since he's your 'friend'..."

"he's just a friend, nothing else," mark said in a severe tone. "now shut up and go and help nomin."

"alright, sure, hyungs," he said teasingly as he went outside.

he turned back to the younger, to see him blushing like anything. "a-anyways, let's go or else we'll be late and sejun..."

donghyuck nodded in silence as a reply as he gave him the spare keys to his apartment. after making sure everything's alright, mark locked the door and the duo walked out the hallway.

donghyuck clutched mark's arm tightly, not exactly used to getting out of the rooms. "how adorable," mark thought as they both walked outside the apartment.

mark kicked open the door, to see jungwoo facepalming next to lucas, while chensung were busy planning something. nomin were busy flirting with each other even though they were in a committed relationship with his ex-crush.

"bitches, i'm finally here," he said, gathering all attention towards him. donghyuck hid behind him, having a little peek to see all his friends.

"see, hyung, this was the...hyung he is in a relationship with," chenle whispered rather loudly to jungwoo. he looked at mark questioningly as he opened his mouth to speak.

"never thought you'd finally stop being single," jungwoo chuckled. "why didn't you tell us?"

"uh, h-hyung, we're not in a relationship, i swear!" mark stuttered, trying to forget that he just tried to kiss him. "he's just my neighbour, he didn't go out in ages, so i brought him here."

"alright...i'll believe that..." jungwoo said, still doubting. "anyways, what's your name?" he brought out his weapon- his uwu-bursting smile at the brunette.

"donghyuck...but you can call me haechan..."

"i'm jungwoo, the one who has to take care of all the kids over here," he said in a slightly disapproving way. "nice to meet you, haechan."

A/N: i just realized that i suck at both describing and summarizing, meaning i'm stuck in a reverse-sicheng situation.
