donghyuck knew that life was full of surprises. and he had mixed feelings about those surprises that life gave him.

he would rather not wake up one morning, only to learn that one of his friends had been kidnapped or tortured by some psycho. no, this was an unpleasant surprise, and he hated those.

but he'd die to wake up to a notification on his phone warning him of a new comeback or a new concert he would be able to go to. yes, this was a pleasant surprise, and he loved those.

but never in his whole life he imagined he would be so pleasantly surprised this early in the morning.

today, right after his body had woken up, donghyuck had kept his eyes closed for a few seconds more, to enjoy the warmth of his bed and the heavenly smell lingering on the sheets.

but when donghyuck had decided to open his eyes, he hadn't expected to find himself in such a position, and even less to enjoy this moment more than any other.

the tanned male wasn't alone in the bed, another male figure was by his side, still sleeping soundly and breathing regularly. a simple glance up allowed donghyuck to realise the source of warmth and body sleeping next to him belong to the one and only mark lee.

the idol was pressed against donghyuck's body, their legs intertwined, and one of mark's arms tucked under donghyuck's head as a pillow while the other loosely hung around donghyuck's waist. the younger had his face buried into mark's chest; his nose pushed against mark's shirt from where the heavenly scent donghyuck liked so much emerged.

donghyuck had already seen such scenes in movies or read them in books. he recalls the protagonist pushing themselves away as if the other's body was burning to get away from each other, and even though he had never imagined this would happen to him one day, he had asked himself countless of times how he would have reacted if he had woken up next to someone else. but he had the answer now.

the feeling of being held against someone's body in their sleep was so heart-whelming and comfortable that donghyuck would want to stay in this embrace all day. but what made everything even better was the identity of this hugger.

mark lee had been making donghyuck's mind go crazy for days if not weeks, and being so close to him had ignited something into the pit of donghyuck's stomach. perhaps was it untold feelings that donghyuck realised were real now? the fact that he had wanted to kiss mark on the lips in central park and that he would want to kiss him more from now on? the need he always had to be close to the older male that wouldn't stop so soon? all those ambiguous moments that the two boys shared? everything was there to make donghyuck realise that yes, he had feelings for mark lee, and more than having him being a mere crush, mark was the person he wanted to be with and to build a future with.

it had always been about mark since donghyuck had met super m.

sure, donghyuck was obsessed by lucas, but in a musical way. lucas was his favourite member artistically speaking, but he wasn't friendly speaking.

mark had caught donghyuck's eye for the first time when they were having breakfast during the 'one day with super m' program.

he can still recall mark's intense stare while he was swinging on his chair, and how meeting eyes with the older had made him panic internally, causing him to fall to the floor.

and let's not mention all those times he made donghyuck embarrass himself because he complimented him or told him how beautiful he was.

donghyuck had really started getting more interested as they hung out alone in the park, when he had admitted to the boy that he was gay. and this growing interest had developed as both boys exchanged text messages.
