Under the Covers | Markhyuck

Donghyuck entered their room quietly. To summarize the whole day, it was tiring and confusing. There are things that he didn't know it was bound to happen. There are lots of questions circling in his mind. Questions that are difficult to answer. He is so lost in his thoughts.

Donghyuck was taken aback when he heard the opening of the door. There he saw Mark, looking at him. He felt the heat on his whole face again, the tint of red is absolutely obvious right now. What happened in the locker room earlier that day suddenly rushed back to his mind.

They both fell silent. No one dared to talk nor  even utter a single word. Donghyuck then went to his closet to get his favorite hoodie and a pair of sweat pants. Although he was back facing the older he can still feel the piercing gazes of Mark. He can't stop himself from blushing and being conscious.

"Mark-hyung, do you have something to say perhaps?" Donghyuck gathered the courage he has and asked the older. "Why do you keep on staring at me?"

Mark did not answer. He just continued staring at Donghyuck as if he's the most interesting thing he's seen in his entire life. He started to get embarrassed of his outburst.

"Hyung!" Donghyuck almost shouted. "You're creeping me out."

Mark seemed to come back to his senses when he heard the high pitch voice of the younger. "A-ah, m-mom's calling for dinner." Mark finally spoke.

Donghyuck rolls his eyes as he sighed. "Okay, I'll be down in a minute. You can go first." He went inside the bathroom to change hoping that the older already headed down.

"How's school little one?" The Lee family are currently having their dinner. Dinner time for them not only means eating but also the time for each of them to share to everybody how they were throughout the day.

"Always good daddy! Still acing science and math!" Dahyun smiled and proudly shared the marks she got from their quizzes that day. Mark and Donghyuck are just silently eating, listening to their conversation.

"That's my girl." Their mom said and kissed Dahyun on her cheeks.

"What reward do you want from daddy little one?" Mr. Lee asked.

"Oh." Dahyun stopped for a moment. She glanced at Donghyuck before speaking again. "I really want something daddy but Donghyuck oppa won't let me."

Donghyuck suddenly stopped eating and looked at Dahyun. Then he looked at Mr. Lee. "Oh no." He muttered. "Dad, please don't."

Their dad gave the both of them confused looks. "Settle down the two of you." He cleared his throat before speaking again. "I don't even know what Dahyun wants."

"Donghyuck sweetie...." Their mom interrupted, looking at Donghyuck.

"No mom. Dad, I'm a hundred percent sure she would ask you to buy her a puppy."

Dahyun pouted. Mrs. Lee spoke. "Donghyuck has a fear of dogs, that's why we never let Dahyun have puppies in the house."

Mr. Lee nodded in understanding. "Isn't exposing yourself to the thing you're most scared of is one way to erase your fear?" Mark suddenly spoke.

"What?" Donghyuck looked at him.

"Well, I mean I was scared of heights but when my friends invited me to try bungee jumping the fear faded."

"Will your fear come back if I push you off the  cliff right now?" Donghyuck asked to which Dahyun chuckled suddenly forgetting about her want of getting a puppy.
