Donghyuck sorted through the boxes, hauling out objects he needed for his desk. The boy had been unpacking and organizing his new room in the apartment him and Mark recently got because they will soon be starting their junior year of university.

He furrowed his eyebrows when his hands grasped an object at the very bottom of one of the boxes, he didn't remember putting anything else inside from what he had already unpacked.

His breath hitched when he pulled his hand out from inside the cardboard space - it was his high school diary. He wasn't even aware that he had brought it to college, what the hell was it doing here? Plus he's been here for two years already, he have to had noticed it somehow.

Shrugging, Donghyuck halted in his unboxing session and plopped onto his semi made bed. He flipped through some pages, cringing at his old handwriting and several overly dramatic sentences.

But one specific page caught his attention, it was written during winter break of his senior year of high school.

December 28

Mark has been staying over at my house for the majority of winter break so far. It has been super fun, well spending time with your best friend is always fulfilling. But it has been difficult lately.

Why the fuck does he have to look so cute in sweaters? Especially in oversized ones that give him sweater paws?

Why is he just so adorable all the time? It's really fucking annoying.

His stupid hair, his stupid face, his stupid laugh, his stupid smile, his stupid personality.

Ugh, I find him more tolerable as days go on, it's scary.

I think I'm in love with my best friend.

Donghyuck couldn't help but laugh about this, realizing how dumb and panicked he was back then.

"What's so funny?" Mark peeked his head into the doorway. He strolled over to his boyfriend to see what was so amusing.

"God, I was so fucking dumb." the younger shook his head as Mark sat next to him and leaned over.

"Oh! I remember reading that!" the older piped, pointing at the page.

"Really? When?" Donghyuck shot a puzzled look at the other, not recalling the event.

Mark inhaled deeply. "Uh, I've never told you this but one of the nights I stayed over at your place I made the dumb decision to watch a video full of jump scares. Then I kinda," he laughed a little, his palm covering his eyes.

"What?" the younger questioned.

"Peed my pants and found your diary in your dresser and read it." Mark quickly spat out, embarrassment settling in his stomach.

"Oh my god really?!" Donghyuck died of laughter, jolting forward, his head down to his knees.

"Shut up." the older slapped his boyfriend's shoulder.

After about a whole two minutes of pure laughing and wheezing, Donghyuck managed to collect himself.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" he asked, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

"Because I didn't." Mark huffed, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Now that I actually think about it, all those times we've cuddled on that air mattress your pee stains were right under us? Gross."

"Shut the fuck up, you literally drink my cum."

"I-" Donghyuck paused his upcoming counter, knowing he couldn't deny that. "You got a point there." he sighed, closing the diary.

Mark laughed, pulling his boyfriend into his lap. The younger's arms draped around his lover's neck, Mark's hands resting on his hips.

"You're such a dumbass, but I love you." Donghyuck chuckled, their foreheads touching.

"Love you too, dumbass." Mark responded, his hands resting on his boyfriend's hips.

Playfully rolling his eyes, Donghyuck leaned in and connected their lips.

The End

wow

thank you so much for reading and voting, it means the world

fun fact: this story idea was originally for luwoo, where lucas finds jungwoo's diary and reads it (and finds a lot of kinky stuff, oooo) but my impatient ass really wanted to write a markhyuck story, so i impulsively went through my dump docs and found this idea and was like, "sorry luwoo, i'm stealing this for markhyuck, just leaving the kinks out tho, bye."

speaking of luwoo, i'm currently working on a story about them. idk when it'll be published tho, depends how much i procrastinate

so yeah. i wanna write more markhyuck stories in the future since they're one of my top ships in nct. but i have too many ideas for other ships. *sigh* i don't know what to do with myself anymore.
