Under the Covers | Markhyuck

3| Back to School

"Are you guys ready?" Mr. Lee asked before turning on the car engine. The two boys nodded but Dahyun pouted which Mr. Lee noticed. "Any problem little one?"

"I wanna sit in front! Can I?" Donghyuck rolled his eyes. Mark is the one currently sitting beside his father.

"Do you promise to buckle your seatbelt?" Mr. Lee asked and Dahyun nodded eagerly. "Okay then." Mark stepped out of the car and went to step inside to the back seat. Dahyun just jumped her way from her seat to the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt.

Donghyuck sighed and just looked outside the window. Suddenly he felt a pat on his arm. "You okay?" Mark worriedly asked.

The younger smiled assuringly. " Yes, how about you?"

"Just a little nervous."

"They will like you, don't worry."

Mark heaved a sigh and looked at the window. Their ride to school was silent. It didn't took longer to drop off Dahyun to middle school.

"Bye daddy! Goodbye my lovely brothers." She smiled and ran to meet her friends.

Not long after they have gone to Dahyun's school, they stopped to Mark and Donghyuck's school. "Do you need a ride back home later this afternoon?" Mr. Lee asked while the two boys are unbuckling their seat belts and getting ready to step out of the car.

Mark looked at Donghyuck. "Maybe not, I'm planning to ask Donghyuck to tour me around the city after class." Mark said confidently to his father even though he still hasn't said a thing about that matter to Donghyuck.

"Okay then. Study well." Mr. Lee drove off so Mark and Donghyuck started to walk inside the building.

As they went inside, all the students seemed to stop from what they're doing and just looked at the boy who's walking with Donghyuck. Not to be bragged about, Donghyuck is a popular student in their school, everyone knew that he's gay, they don't have problem with that. In fact, many closeted gays came out when Donghyuck said the truth about his sexuality, so now everyone is confident of what they really are.

The stares aren't oblivious to Mark, he's used to it. Both of them ignored the gazes and just continued walking their way to the office to get Mark's schedule.

What Mark said earlier to his father did not get off from Donghyuck's brain. He's thinking if Mark really means it or he just doesn't want to burden his father.

"Are we really going to the city after class?" Donghyuck didn't know that it would come out that way. He thought that he's just daydreaming about it but it came out loud and clear enough for Mark look at him.

"Yeah, I want to see what's out there to do after class. Because in Canada I used to drive with my friends after class, we sometimes go to the seaside or park to do something."

"Okay then." Mark shot Donghyuck one last glance before focusing on his way to the office. They stopped when they saw the door with the label "OFFICE". Donghyuck knocked before going in.

A lady greeted them. "Mr. Mark Lee, just in time. You must be here for your schedule."

"Yes ma'am."

The lady took a sheet of paper from her desk and gave it to Mark. "That's your schedule for the rest of the semester." The lady looked at Donghyuck. "Lee Donghyuck, I assumed you're his step brother, I also assumed you're going to give him a tour of the whole campus." The lady smiled at the both of them.

"Of course ma'am." Donghyuck answered. "And also ma'am, is there a badminton tryout tomorrow?"

"Yup, you're in charge of that right? I hope you get good players, we need to win this year."
