The movie was horrible. A total disaster. Donghyuck wanted to cry so bad. Everytime a jump scare popped up he screamed almost too loud and people were laughing at him, including Mark but he didn't want to admit that. The whole horror movie experience was too much for him. But the whole night was indeed not ruined.

While Donghyuck kept blocking the screen with his hands, Mark grabbed it and held it in his. He kept caressing it throughout the rest of the movie. Donghyuck was glad he wasn't allowed to speak because he probably wasn't able to due to the touch of Mark.

Donghyuck kept discreetly stare at Mark who was focusing on the movie. He looked so relaxed, whichever he wasn't when he was writing at the shop. Donghyuck liked Mark like this. He liked it when Mark looked happy and excited.

He was so concentrated looking at Mark that he didn't pay attention to the movie ending and the lights in the lounge being turned on again. He only caught himself staring when Mark let go of Donghyuck's hand and picked up the empty popcorn box from the ground. Donghyuck felt a bit sad at the loss of Mark's touch but he could finally let his hand breathe. It was so sweaty from being stuck to Mark for almost an hour.

"Are you ready to head back?" Mark asked and helped Donghyuck up from his seat. He nodded and followed Mark as they walked out of the cinema and towards the bus stop. Luckily the bus to Donghyuck's house came as they got to the stop, so they didn't have to wait outside in the cold.

23:13 pm

Mark was following Donghyuck all the way to his front door of his apartment where they stood quietly. "Thank you for tonight, but I have to tell you, I absolutely hate scary movies" Donghyuck stated. The cold air was filled with that cute giggle of Mark's.

"Maybe we should try doing something else for another time?" Mark suggested, a grin plastered on his lips.

Donghyuck nodded and took of the jacket that belonged to Mark "I hope I'll see you next week?" He was almost wishing the weekend would end soon so he could go back to his work and see Mark again, even if he was standing right in front of him right now.

He wanted to do something. Do something to Mark, please Mark. But it was too soon. Instead he leaned forward and placed a peck on the taller's cheek, making him go red. A smug smile formed on Donghyuck's face. The butterflies in his stomach went crazy.

He liked this. He liked this a lot. It was like he was having a teenage crush all over again. But he didn't even feel this way for his first boyfriend, not his second either. This was new. It was something more beautiful than just a small crush.

Mark and Donghyuck said farewell as the older boy walked out of sight.

23:35 pm

Donghyuck stepped inside his apartment smiling like an idiot. When he closed the door he skipped around giggling and laughing out loud. He was happy. He was experiencing a new feeling and so far he loved it. He loved the idea of seeing Mark more. He loved the idea of giving Mark more pecks on the cheeks, maybe even somewhere else.

The happy boy ran towards his sofa and threw himself on it. Letting out a breath of relief. He made it. He didn't embarrass himself and he even got to hold Mark's hand. Oh my god he even gave Mark a peck. As the scenarios kept being replayed in Donnghyuck's head he hurried to find his phone and call Jaemin.

"Oh my God Hyuck! Tell me everything! How did it go? What did you watch? Did you ki-"

"Calm down Jaemin and get your ass over here" Donghyuck cut his best friend off.

"Do you even know what time it is?" Jaemin asked a bit sassily through the phone. He knew Donghyuck wouldn't care what time it was and he also knew how much he wanted to hear about his best friend's date, "do you have ice cream? I'll be there in 20."

00:12 am

A knock was heard from the outside and Donghyuck opened the door, already knowing who was behind it.

"Hyuck!" Jaemin hugged the other boy with his arms tight around his waist. Donghyuck hugged back with a smile. He was grateful for such a great friend as Jaemin.

They both broke the hug and Jaemin walked over to Donghyuck's couch while the blonde boy went to get the ice cream from the refrigerator. He came back with a big bowl full of strawberry ice cream. Donghyuck handed Jaemin a spoon and they both started digging.

"Tell me. What happened? How was he? He was nice right? If not I am going to woop his a-"

"It was amazing!" once again Donghyuck cut his friend off. Jaemin got a happy face back as he smirked, eating the ice cream on his spoon.

"The movie, not so amazing. It was a horror movie. But when I tried to hide behind my hands, Mark held them and he kept holding them until the movie finished. Mark followed me here so I wouldn't walk alone and when we were saying goodbye I gave him a peck and ugh everything went so amazing Jaemin" Donghyuck lit up when talking about Mark and the date. He looked like a child getting candy. Jaemin enjoyed every single second of seeing his friend this happy. He felt happy seeing his friend happy.

Jaemin had been there for Donghyuck through both of his earlier relationships. The first one was just his a stupid crush Donghyuck had on someone he doesn't even remember his name on since it was in freshman year.

The second one was a bit worse. It was in junior year. Donghyuck was somehow getting feelings for this boy whose name was Jisung. Han Jisung.

Donghyuck hated Jisung, but didn't want to leave him because he was scared of being lonely. He managed to keep himself in that awful relationship for one and a half year, which was hurtful for Jaemin to stand by and watch. He saw how miserable Donghyuck was and all he could do was being there for him. In the end of high school, Donghyuck was strong enough to end it with the asshole. Jaemin until this day doesn't know what made Donghyuck hate Jisung. And he didn't dare to bring him up to his friend.

Now he finally sees his best friend live a good life, going on dates with cute boys. Well one cute boy, Mark Lee.

Jaemin kept smiling and listening to Donghyuck ramble about how great the day was and how adorable Mark was.

They stayed up for one hour, eating ice cream and talking. When it got late, they decided to go to sleep. Donghyuck gave Jaemin his pajamas that he keeps at Donghyuck's place, since they have slumber parties at least twice a month. They crawled down in the tanned boys huge bed and almost fell asleep as soon as they shut their eyes.
