third p.o.v

today was the special day. it was friday, the day he finally got to go on the long awaited date with mark.

when donghyuck woke up, his hair was all over the place, sticking out from unusual places. he rubbed his puffy eyes and stretched, a cat-like sound coming out of his mouth during the process.

it was only 7:00 AM, so he had about an hour to get ready for school, or should he say living hell?

he tried getting up out of his bed, but a problem occurred. donghyuck winced from the unexpected pain that was coming from his head and stomach.

"you've got to be kidding me!" he whisper-shouted, he was beyond pissed. not only the fact was he potentially going to miss the date with mark, but he may make him feel bad about it!

quickly grabbing his phone, donghyuck called renjun. he picked up after a few rings.

"hey."

"hi! what's up?"

"um, i'm not gonna be able to come to school today... i've got this massive migraine and a stomach ache, and i don't think i have any painkillers in my house..."

"aw, that sucks! but yeah, i'll let the boys know! take time to recover, donghyuck."

"thanks, junnie."

after he hung up, he lazily lugged himself to the bathroom cabinet. and just as he suspected, there were no painkillers whatsoever. "i'm going to die all alone in this house!"

during lunch at school, everybody was quieter than usual. without donghyuck, lunch wasn't the same. after all, he was the mood maker of their group.

"anybody know where donghyuck is?" jaemin asked, twirling a strand of his brown locks. renjun continued playing with his boyfriend's soft hands while he answered jaemin's question.

"he called me this morning and told me he had a migraine and a stomach ache..." sudden realization taking over him, renjun gasped. "he's not gonna be able to go on his date with mark!"

"damn..." jeno mumbled. "this date really means a lot to him, we gotta do something!"

"we should tell him!" chenle spoke. nodding in agreement, the boys got out of their seats and searched for mark in the cafeteria.

after a few minutes of searching, they finally found the brunette at a table eating with his friends.

jaemin tapped his shoulder, and the older instantly turned around. "hi, mark. you have a date with donghyuck today, right?" mark began blushing as soon as his friends heard what jaemin asked him, and they began teasing him. "are you gonna take him to your house and-" "JOHNNY SHUT UP!" mark slapped the tallest boy sitting beside him on the back of the head.

"yeah, so what of it?"

"he's at his house and he's not feeling well. he doesn't have painkillers, so he's not gonna be able to make it."

mark's worried expression dropped when he thought of an idea. "can i have his address?"

the younger group of boys smiled at each other as jaemin leaked mark donghyuck's address. "wait, why do you want his address anyway?"

"i wanna go to the pharmacy after school to get him painkillers and bring them to his house." mark's blush crept back on his cheeks at the thought.

"okay! i'm sure he'd love that, mark." jaemin patted the latter's shoulder as he and his friends walked back to their table to finish their lunches.

"what a dedicated man you are!" johnny continued to tease mark. the younger nudged his side with his elbow and annoyingly took a bite of his ham and cheese sandwich.

. . .

donghyuck groaned and sniffled. great, now my nose is runny. he felt guilty for ending up as a sick teenager who wouldn't be able to go out with his crush after hoping for so long.

he tried to get some rest in his bed, but just when he was about to fall asleep, his doorbell rang. "i'm coming-" he croaked.

donghyuck had a difficult time walking. his whole body felt weak due to the lack of movement, and his stomach ache only made things worse. every step he took felt like he was getting a deep punch in the gut, and his head pounded. he kept on wiping his runny nose on his sweater sleeves.

he carefully opened the door and almost choked on air when he saw who it was. "m-mark..?" he stuttered, confused as to why he was on his doorstep.

"donghyuck... i got you these." mark held out the bag of medicine to the younger boy. "they're for your pain."

donghyuck slowly reached for the bag and took it. he thanked him and was about to close the door, but something stopped him.

his vision before him began spiraling, and without even realizing, he blacked out in the middle of the floor. right in front of mark. the only thing mark could do was rush inside and aid the poor boy who now needed attention.

attention from his crush.
