mark woke up to the feeling of a small body near to him. he opened his eyes to see donghyuck cuddling adjacent to him, holding him for dear life.

mark wanted to wake up to start his day, but the image of donghyuck cuddling him was too adorable. he wrapped his hands around his now-boyfriend's waist and closed his eyes, trying to take a small nap until he wakes up.

"hmm...what time is it..." the sudden feeble voice caught his attention. he opened his eyes to see donghyuck awake, rubbing his eyes as he squinted. his tiredness instantly disappeared when he saw him. "hyung...? you're awake?"

mark just beamed in response and sat up, leaning his back on to the headboard of his bed. donghyuck crawled and leaned his head on to the older's shoulder, again trying to cuddle him.

"i have to wake up..." mark said in a raspy yet gentle voice, making donghyuck hold him tighter, which is a no from him. "i have to meet my hyungs...."

"can't you stay a little more..." he pouted at the older male, further making him unable to say a no. "we haven't...spent enough time with each other..."

"no, i need to wake up, or else doyoung-hyung will start bitching at me," mark said firmly, trying to not look at the cute image his now-boyfriend is showing him. "besides, it's been a long time ago since i saw doyoung-hyung and taeil-hyung. you don't understand. i haven't seen them for 3 years straight."

"oh...alright..." donghyuck backed off, his smile instantly disappearing as he flopped out of the bed, allowing mark to finally get out. "besides...you met them way before me..."

mark sighed as he immediately pulled him into his lap and quickly pressed his lips onto his. "now, don't say that. i know we haven't spend that much of time with each other, i'll take you out on a date tonight, how about that?"

"wait, really?!" the younger asked, already startled by the sudden kiss. when mark nodded in affirmation, donghyuck jumped on his lap in excitement, not exactly used to a non-toxic relationship. "hyung, thank you so much!"

"i..." mark trailed off as he realized donghyuck didn't realize dates are perfectly normal in a relationship. he beamed as he pulled him into a kiss once again, a rather passionate one this time.

the younger kissed him back, as he wrapped his hands around his nape tightly. the sudden act of love felt uncannily unfamiliar to him, but he accepted it after all the suffering he went through.

the familiar yet annoying sound of mark's phone ringing caught both their attention. mark broke the kiss, much to donghyuck's disappointment, to check what was happening.

to his dismay, it was doyoung.

mark answered, "i'm so sorry hyung, i'll be there-"

"mark! it's been so long since i've heard your voice," another voice which is not doyoung exclaimed, and to his relief, it was taeil.

"oh, h-hyung! it really has been a while.." he beamed. "see, i-i'll come there in a few minutes, sorry, i just woke up late today-"

"you don't have to, me and doyoung are coming there," taeil said. "mind if i bring some friends over too?"

"uh, s-sure!" mark agreed, really confused on where this conversation was heading.

"it's only 2 people, they're my close friends from seoul," taeil reassured him. "they both are a couple too, and they're starting a business here. maybe i could secure you a job."

"oh, hyung, that's...thank you!" mark said as his eyes lit up. he had been searching for a job for too long, and taking care of him only made it even more delayed. this was a great opportunity to seize.
