unwittingly setting up friends, part one

"hyuck, i'm sorry, it was my fault," doyoung said, running after his brother with an unfinished garment in his hands. "i should've double checked the costumes-"

"don't speak to me about fucking costumes," donghyuck snapped, turning to his older brother, red in the face.

"donghyuck, it was my mistake," the black haired boy said hurriedly, "i misjudged the shoulder width, that's why it doesn't fit well. it's not because-"

"just shut up!"

"donghyuck?" mark uttered, poking his head into the corridor.

the peachy-haired boy was tugging his hoodie over his head in an annoyed fashion, doyoung standing there helplessly.

"babes, you can go home now," said mr byun, entering the wings with his arms full of scripts and music sheets. "i've had enough for today. and it's nearly christmas!"

mark grinned at the drama teacher. "thanks, mr byun."

"anytime, babes," he told him, "everything's running smoothly thanks to you."

"only trying to keep up chittaphon's work, sir," said mark.

"well, be gone, it's winter break!" mr byun exclaimed, waving a hand, "go have fun! now, doyoung, if the costumes are finished..."

doyoung gave his brother one last look before following after mr byun.

"hyuck," mark said quietly.

donghyuck just walked right up to him and hugged him tightly.

"i'm fine, mark," he mumbled, but mark pulled away to look at him.

"hyuck, if it helps, i think you're really hot," mark said, pursing his lips. his cheeks reddened as donghyuck started to smirk.

"say that again," he said.

"donghyuck," mark groaned.

"hyung," he whined, "please call me hot again."

"fine, you're hot!" mark said, smacking donghyuck's arm.

"ooh~" said jeongin, sidling into the wings with his arm around chenle.

"shut up, baby," donghyuck tutted.

"jeongin is taller than me!" chenle protested.

"shut up, dolphin," said sanha, appearing behind the younger boys.

"dolphin?" chenle shrieked.

"kidding, i love you babies, anyway," the tallest grumbled, ruffling jeongin and chenle's hair. "what are you two doing back here?"

mark and donghyuck exchanged a glance before speaking at the same time.

"donghyuck was having his costume fitted!"

"mark was fixing a light!"

"really," sanha drawled. "the lights don't need fixing and chittaphon-hyung has already gone home." he slowly smirked. "were you two doing something-"

"go back to yehana!" donghyuck whined, "leave me and my boyfriend alone, beanpole."

"boyfriend!" chenle yelled happily, running to hug mark and donghyuck in turn. "congratulations!"

"thanks, chenle," mark muttered, shaking his head as the small blond grabbed jeongin and ran off, rambling something like 'jisung is waiting to hang out with us, hurry up!'
