Love and Pretend-MARKHYUCK

╯09╭

Donghyuck came inside of the bathroom and saw nothing because of the steam, but he somehow saw Mark leaning against the wall. The beta ran into the glass shower room and shook Mark by holding onto the alpha's shoulders.

"Hey, are you okay?" Donghyuck asked. He didn't care about getting wet, he didn't even bother turning the shower off.

Mark didn't even notice that it was Donghyuck who's right infront of him. The beta looked worried as he looked into the alpha's eyes while cupping the wet cheeks.

"What happened?"

Going into daze, Mark couldn't help but stare at Donghyuck. He slowly trapped the beta by putting his arms against the walls at either side of the beta. Donghyuck leaned against the tiled wall as he stared back at Mark. Both were already wet, but they could've cared less.

Before Mark could even go back into his senses, Donghyuck got immediately flustered. He blushed hard as he finally realized his position.

"I-I'm sorry..."

Donghyuck didn't dare to look down but his eyes kept betraying him.

"W-What happened to you, huh?!" Donghyuck asked, trying to keep his cool and looked at the alpha straight.

Mark shook his head. He took Donghyuck's wrists and slowly put the hands away from his cheeks.

"I'm fine," Mark said.

"I-I'm really sorry... "

"It's fine, love."

Donghyuck furrowed his eyebrows.

Stop making my heart go wild.

Mark reached for the towel that was just outside of the shower room. He didn't take his eyes off of Donghyuck, trying to catch him if he ever dared to look down but in honesty, he just admired the beta's eyes.

The alpha wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the shower. He pulled Donghyuck out as well.

"You look like a wet pudu," Mark joked.

A cute wet pudu.

"You just look like a sad seagull. Get out, I'll take my shower."

As soon as Mark left the room and closed the door behind him, he melted down and faked a quiet cry. He covered his red face with both of his hands. Embarrassment filled his body as the scenes kept replaying in his mind. He is now asking his existence and just wanted to disappear.

After taking his bath and probably mentally buried himself, the beta walked into his room to get dressed. Coming into his room and walking towards his closet, there was a body mirror near it. Donghyuck stopped infront of his reflection and looked at his body.

Donghyuck thought how fat is he and Mark kept complaining about how fat and heavier he became. He removed his robe, leaving him naked infront of the mirror. Not that he was upset because he was fat, he looked the same except his stomach got somehow bigger. Maybe he is fat, he just don't see it and Mark can.

After Donghyuck had enough of thinking that he's fat, he dressed in something cozy. He left his room and walked down the stairs. He sat on the living room couch, beside Mark.

"Am I really that fat?"

Donghyuck spoke too sudden, making Mark jump a little. The alpha looked at the beta beside him as soon as he processed the question in his mind.

"That's pretty random," Mark said, turning his attention back to the show he's watching.

"Well, I'm just curious."

"Why? I don't think you're fat."

Donghyuck pouted and furrowed his eyebrows, "But you kept saying that I'm fat!"

Mark turned the TV off and looked at Donghyuck. He raised an eyebrow, "It was a joke, Donghyuck."

The alpha thought the beta can blush really easily, like just now. The reason? It's because Mark called Donghyuck by name. It doesn't seem like a big deal but they always call themselves alpha and beta instead of their names.

It was new and Mark said it in a soft way.

"Really?"

Mark nodded, "Yeah."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"You sure sure, daddy?"

Mark sighed at how cute and hilarious this beta is, "Yes, love."

"Am I your love?" Donghyuck asked, making Mark flustered.

"No...It's just to tease to you."

"Well, I don't think it is."

Mark chuckled, "You like me calling you love, don't you?"

Donghyuck just stared at Mark, afraid to answer the question. He just giggled and covered Mark's face with his small hand. Mark held his wrist and kissed the beta's palm. Donghyuck's heart pounded faster against his chest.

"That hurt," Mark uttered.

Donghyuck just stood up and walked into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator, not to get some water but to cool himself. His face was burning up. It was unexpected. So, to keep himself less embarrassed than he is now, he pushed himself away from Mark at the moment.

He doesn't want to tell him that he does like the "endearment."
