the wolf in me / markhyuck

{8}

4:52 AM, Donghyuck's Bedroom

"You have got to be kidding me." He whispered to himself after checking his phone to see what the time was after waking up from his dream.

"What kind of goddamn dream is that?"

He ran his hands through his hair, there was no way he could fall asleep again anytime soon. So, he sat there, hands fidgeting and mind running.

Did the dream mean something?

Probably.

Was he going to listen to it?

Probably.

"Ugh!" The boy sighed, letting his head fall back to his pillow. He was stressed now.

Over the week that Donghyuck was getting to know Mark, he felt something. He wasn't stupid. He was starting to like Mark and there was no way he could stop it. Did he leave because he wanted to get rid of his feelings? Or did he leave because he didn't want to accept the fact that Mark was basically half wolf?

He honestly didn't know why it was so hard to accept him. He saw him transform like three times so what was the big deal?

Donghyuck wouldn't try to deny his feelings, he's not that type of person. Once he falls for someone, he knows it right then and there and he's always sure about it.

He wanted to accept Mark, he wanted to so bad.

But something was holding him back, and he had yet to find out.

~~

Mark was sitting in his room, at literally five in the morning, thinking about Donghyuck. Wow.

I miss him, he thought.

"Wait wait, no. I don't. I can't, he left and that's his choice." He said to himself, groaning internally as he confused himself even more than he already was.

A soft knock came from his door frame, as he left his door open a long time ago.

There Jaemin was, leaning against the wall, a sad smile plastered onto his face. "What's got you so down that you haven't slept yet?"

"Why are you awake?"

Jaemin shrugged. "It bothered me that you were so sad earlier. I was sleeping but I went to use the bathroom and heard you sighing over and over so I wanted to see what was up."

Jaemin closed the door quietly and made his way to sit down on Mark's bed, looking at the other boy who was currently sulking in his chair.

"I miss him."

"We all do." Jaemin played with the sleeves of his hoodie, his head hanging down.

"Jaemin, I only have 10 more days left of my month and if I don't find out what that secret thing is then my soul is gone."

"I know, I know. But what could it possibly be?"

"That's the problem, I have no clue." Mark rested his chin onto the palm of his hand, sighing for the thousandth time tonight.

"We'll figure something out soon. Now, go to sleep. Please. You need it." Jaemin whispered, standing up and patting Mark on the head softly.

He opened the door and as he was closing it, he watched Mark turn off his light and snuggle into his bed. A small smile made its way onto his lips as he gently closed the door and walked over to Jeno's room.

Jeno woke up to the loss of arms around him as he looked up and saw Jaemin making his way back.

"Baby, where'd you go?"

Jaemin snuggled into the other, pulling the sheets over them. "I went to use the bathroom and then I heard Mark sighing and I went to go see what was wrong. He said he missed Donghyuck and I told him we all do."

"You know he only has 10 days left right?"

"Yeah. We need to find out what that secret thing is soon."

"I think I might know what it deals with but I'm not entirely sure." Jeno whispered, pulling Jaemin closer to his chest.

"What then?" Jaemin looked up into Jeno's eyes to see Jeno thinking.

"I think it might have something to do with Donghyuck."
