38: second times.

"hyung?" donghyuck exhaled. "you fucking scared me."

"shh," mark murmured.

"but-"

the older clamped his hand over donghyuck's mouth and pushed his phone out of sight, the light going off. he put a finger to his lips. then his eyes widened and he dragged donghyuck around a corner, grabbing at the locker room keys that jangled in donghyuck's grip.

"yes, hyung," someone said softly, sounding like he was on the phone. "i just finished, i'm on my way."

"mr lee?" donghyuck breathed when mark took his hand away from his mouth.

"he comes here late sometimes to work out," mark replied, hugging the wall.

"alright, see you soon," said the pe teacher, his voice and footsteps receeding. the door to the sports block clanged shut behind him.

mark breathed a sigh of relief, untangling donghyuck's arm from his. the peachy-haired boy looked vaguely offended. his phone buzzed and mark shot him a glare. donghyuck stuck his tongue out at him and checked his phone, hiding the light under his hood.

"chenle's here?" donghyuck hissed as mark stuck his head around the corner.

"he made me come," mark sighed. "i didn't realise you idiot were planning on breaking into the school tonight."

"the door was open!" donghyuck protested.

"shh!"

the peachy-haired boy rolled his eyes.

he glanced at mark before sending another text.

to: orange beanpole

"put it on silent," mark told him, and he did so.

from: orange beanpole

caught you bitch

"let's go," donghyuck breathed. he took the locker room keys from mark's hands. "i need to put these back."

"we need to leave," mark said, but donghyuck dragged him down the corridor. "we need to get out before the sports block is locked-"

"shh, i'm concentrating," he whispered as he took another pin that was holding his hair back on one side, and proceeding to pick the lock again. he managed to get in quickly, returning the keys to heechul's desk. he fixed the lock to lock the door automatically when he closed is after himself. "we can go now."

mark listened before grabbing donghyuck's hand. "we can leave through the theatre. i have the key to the stage door. we can get out that way."

they ran through the corridors, reaching the connecting door to the theatre and slipping through. the two crept up the corridor that led them to the auditorium. mark squeezed donghyuck's hand to signal they could continue.

suddenly donghyuck ducked behind a row of seats, pushing mark's head down.

footsteps could be heard nearby, and donghyuck hugged mark close to his body as they waited in the darkness.

"have they gone?" mark breathed.

donghyuck slowly nodded. "i think so," he replied.

he brought his hand down from mark's hair, accidentally touching his face. mark's grip tightened on donghyuck's hand in his surprise.
