donghyuck sighed loudly as the door of the car opened, allowing him to get off the vehicle.

"thanks." he mumbled to lucas who had opened the door for him, like a gentleman would have.

the idol slammed the car's door shut before holding his hand out for donghyuck to take. the tanned male reluctantly intertwined his fingers with lucas', knowing that they had to make their fake-relationship believable.

donghyuck wasn't against the idea of skinship or being clingy to your boyfriend. he didn't mind public display of affection at all, and he even found it cute. however, it bothered him a bit more to know that he had to do it for fake with lucas, and that whenever both of them would show any type of attention for the other, fans or paparazzi would always make sure to capture every moment of it. at that point, it seemed like all those people were part of lucas and donghyuck's relationship.

"hyuckie!"

the tanned male lifted his head just in time to see his best friend running in his direction and jumping on top of him.

"jaemin, you saw me two days ago..." donghyuck rolled his eyes playfully as he hugged his best friend while his hand was still interlaced with lucas'.

"i know. but i missed you." jaemin pouted. "you're at the super m dorm most of the time now, and i don't even see you at home..."

it is true that these past weeks, donghyuck had spent more and more time at the super m dorm. at first, it hadn't been by choice; super m had such a tight schedule, and donghyuck had slowly being included in it, meaning he needed to follow them around seoul from interview to interview and from stage to stage. he had to come to each and every schedule they had, even though he wasn't part of the shows. he was just there to show that he was supportive of his boyfriend, and that he was ready to sacrifice some of his time for love.

and as time went on, interviewers slowly decided to include donghyuck in the shows, asking him to come on stage and talk a bit. at first it was just calling him from backstage and asking him to make an appearance, and at some point, they started inviting him as a guest, as if he was super m's eighth member.

and so, because donghyuck was now almost part of super m, it was much simpler to have him staying at the super m dorm most of the time.

the boy hardly slept at the super m dorm, though. donghyuck would be picked up by a manager early in the morning, and he would be brought back there at night, when everything was done. the only things he did at his and jaemin's shared house were brushing his teeth, having showers and sleeping. most of the time, he was so tired that he didn't even have time to see his best friend as he would fall asleep on top of his covers before finishing his night routine.

this fake-dating took all of his time and energy, and sadly, it wasn't about to end so soon...

"i can ask the manager to give donghyuck a break if you'd like. maybe this weekend, it would be great if donghyuck could stay with you, without having to follow us to our schedules." lucas proposed as jaemin's eyes lit-up.

"you would do that for me?!" he exclaimed.

"sure." lucas smiled in amusement.

"oh my god, thank you!" jaemin let go donghyuck to hug lucas tight. "donghyuck, i love your boyfriend!"

"huh... no, you don't."

jaemin suddenly pulled out of lucas' embrace, turning around in a snap of fingers as his eyes fell on two males, staring at him with a brow raised and their hands on their hips.
