Say Yes

Chapter 10

Donghyuck opened his eyes just as sunlight peeked through the slight openings of the dark curtains. The tired boy slowly blinked his eyes, his brain slowly catching up to the world of the living. The first thing he took notice of, was the ray of sunlight shining on his face. Groaning, he rolled over to hopefully get away and go back to sleep. However, as he turned to lie on his right, he took notice of several things. One, he does not have a nightstand on his right side, that's on the left. Two, his blankets are not in shade of black, like this one. He has navy blue. Just as his eyes trailed over the sheets covering him, he noticed something from the corner of his eyes. Lifting his gaze towards it, he promptly let out a loud scream. There lying on what seems to be a makeshift bed, was a naked torso lying on their stomach, giving Donghyuck a view of their nicely toned back. Scrambling, he pushed himself against the headboard and lifting the blankets up to cover himself. He panic even more when he had noticed both his jacket and jeans on the chair in the corner of the room. In his panic state, he didn't the body shooting up in surprise because of Donghyuck's scream, eyes wide and alert, softening when he realized it was only Donghyuck. He got up and started making his way towards the upright figure on his bed, forgetting his shirtless body. Noticing movements, Hyuck turned his face towards them, relaxing once he realized that the shirtless back he saw belonged to Mark. His face started heating up, however, when he noticed the other still hasn't put any shirt on. Seeing this, Mark grew concern, thinking that Donghyuck caught a cold or worse, a fever.

"Hyuck? You okay?"

He planted his knees on the bed and leaned forward towards Hyuck. Said boy couldn't meet his eyes, face turning brighter as more time passes by. Mark's getting really worried. Hyuck would avert his gaze every time it landed anywhere his torso, face bright red. Mark curiously looked down and yelped when he realized the issue. He forgot to put his shirt back on!
Mark had felt way too hot last night, so he took his shirt off when he woke up in the middle of the night, sweating. He totally forgot that he has a visitor on his bed. Quickly getting off the bed, he ran towards his en suite, picking up his shirt on the way and yelling a loud sorry to Donghyuck. After the cause of his panic left the room, Donghyuck felt like he could breathe again. He laughed at the dork that just ran towards the bathroom, before he remembered the clothes he spotted on the chair. He immediately lifted the sheets to check and was relieved to see his lower half's not naked and was covered in sweatpants. He immediately felt guilty, remembering that he had fallen asleep last night after telling his past. The older must've had a hard time because of him. But, after retelling his past to Mark, Donghyuck somehow feels lighter. Maybe because, other than his two best friends and his family and Jaehyun, he hasn't told anyone else about it. Telling Mark last night made the feelings, concerns that he's been keeping to himself to come out. The pain still there, but it's not as heavy as before. Getting up, he turned towards the bathroom door and heard the shower. Shrugging, he made his way outside and hopefully locate the kitchen. He wants to make the older breakfast as thank you for taking care of him and for listening to him. Closing the bedroom door behind him, he turned and saw that Mark's bedroom was located at the end of the hallway. After putting on the slippers he noticed were located by the door, he started walking forwards. The hallway led him to a simple but modern looking living room. Black couches adorn the space, with a small gray coffee table. Big windows with gray curtains and a door leading out to the balcony. A slick, black and big TV adorns one wall of the living room and a black divider on another side, where cds, albums and other trinkets were put on display. What caught Donghyuck's attention was the vinyl record player standing in a corner and the acoustic guitar beside it, looking well taken care of. He noticed a other hallway, which probably leads towards the entrance. Turning his head, he saw the door that leads towards the kitchen, just a few steps away from where he's standing. Giving himself a reminder to ask the older about the music instruments later, Hyuck made his way to the kitchen space, intent on making them both breakfast, seeing as his stomach is starting to protest from lack of food. The kitchen looks new and barely used, with its silver appliances and pretty counter tops and black cabinets. He started opening the cabinets, looking for a mug for his coffee. He found them on the cabinet above the space Mark gathered his coffee, creamer, hot chocolate and sugar. He started making his coffee first and then Mark's, forgoing the coffee machine at the corner. He made Mark's black, no creamer and just 1 teaspoon of sugar. After gulping down a bit of his coffee, and leaving the older's on the kitchen island, he opened the fridge to see what he can make them.
He decided to cook bacon, sunny side ups and hot dogs. Putting the pan on the stove, which he had a hard time looking for, he started opening some cabinets again, hoping and praying Mark had them. Grinning in success, he pulled, or try to, the box of pancakes mix. Huffing out a frustrated breathe, he was about to grab a chair to boost himself up, but stopped his movements when an arm reached out and grabbed it the box for him. He turned his face to the side and saw a freshly showered Mark grinning at him. He's face instantly pinked at their proximity. Mark, not wanting to make the younger uncomfortable, moved back after putting the box down. Hyuck smiled at him and pointing at the coffee he made.
