donghyuck's birthday, mark's last day of punishment. june 6th 2019.

"jaemin, did you ask jungwoo to go order the cake!?"

"jeno, did you pick up the present I got him?"

"chenle, did you get the decorations?"

"jisung, the playlist ready?"

"Mark, literally calm down. we're skipping an entire period just to plan this for later. everything's going to plan, don't worry."

"what the fuck why wouldn't I be worrying! it's my boyfriends 18th birthday, its also the first event we'll be sharing together."

"you guys are so cute, you know for our 1 month anniversary jisung got me promise rings."

chenle stared down at his hands and then back at his loving boyfriend. they were the purest couple around. from best friends, to boyfriends.

"yeah we get it, you have a dream relationship and we're all inadequate. but literally what are we doing."

"okay! listen. first I'll take him home from school, then I'll take him to my house and make him go upstairs into our room for some reason. then you're literally going to set up in 3 minutes. he'll come down and then party and then presents and cake and all that okay?"

mark yelled at the group of about 8 other boys and made sure that they had each other the roles and planning methods in line.
this was going to be the best party donghyuck ever experienced.

"Alright class, you can hand in your final projects tomorrow right before the end of the semester. mark, can you stay back please? principal kim wants to speak to you."

"uh, okay."

"hi minhyung! haven't seen you in my office in a while have we?"

"nah, not really."

"well it seems like he's straightened you out?"

"straightened- hah."

"well I want to just tell you that we've come to the end of your punishment."

"Miss, i dont really think it was a punishment in the end."

"Mark, are you feeling okay? you just called me Miss and said you liked your punishment."

"well, I'm just going to say that we've grown particularly close over the semester."

"oh thank god, you ended up with a good one!"

"a good one?"

"I was concerned that you'd end up with a party girl that will take advantage of you- or the other way round."

"you matchmade us well, huh."

"well mark, as you're one of my favourite students. love our little chats in detention huh. I just wanted to tell you that as of next semester I'm concluding my work as principal."

"you are?"

"I'm getting tired of all the kids. if you still want to have after school chats with me I'm going to start working in a cafe."

"You're 25 and a principal you have an amazing life!"

"I hate being a principal."

"god are we that bad?"

"terrible."

"Well damn Ms. K."

"haha mark, well I better go find my brother. I think he's crushing on your science teacher."

"mr moon?"

"well have a good day, I'll see you tomorrow."

mark walked out of the room finding his loving boyfriend waiting near his locker. walking up to him, the two began to walk back home to mark's house so the plan could finally commence. the two came upon mark's neighbourhood, not needing to talk because their presence were enough for each other.

"uh hyuck, you can go get changed I'll take you out for dinner or something."

"oh- okay."

as the boy ran up the stairs mark made the signal for the rest of the group to come out from the kitchen. as everyone scrambled around putting up streamers, ballons, speakers, making sure everything was perfect. jungwoo, haechan's old tutor from early high school brought out the cake, snacks and different foods while the chensung couple set out the gifts. the second they heard the boy coming down the stairs, everyone made their way to their positions.

"hey mark I hope you don't mind I'm wearing your hoodie- whats all of this?"

"surprise!!!"

"happy birthday Donghyuck!"

"what is this!! oh my god guys you really didn't have to."

"of course we did, it's your birthday!"

"I- I think I'm gonna cry this is amazing-"

as tears spilled down donghyuck's face mark pulled him into a hug and rubbed his back.

"don't cry! we're here to have fun."

as the night unfolded each of the boy played their own ridiculous games and slightly-tipsy attitudes let's just say things were getting weird. at this point, about 4 hours later, chenle had fallen asleep on jisungs lap, the norenmin couple were still downing drinks and dancing to I Wish by Skeelo for hours on end, while jungwoo cried, downing buckets of ice cream after he saw his crush lucas kissing a girl on his Instagram. meanwhile between all of this, the markhyuck couple sat on mark's couch watching the mess of their friends.

"why am I even here! I've already graduated- I- just came- for- free cake haaa."

jungwoo sobbed into his spoon and shoved more ice cream in his mouth.

"alright, is everyone ready to go home?"

"no! I- wish- i- could be- with him."

"jungwoo, stop crying. I called ten, he's coming to pick you up soon and take you back to johnnys house. norenmin, I called renjuns mom. chensung, just- jisung just carry him home he lives down the road."

"tsk, leave it to the youngest to be the most sober out of all of us."

as the respective couples left the house, the markhyuck duo continued upstairs to their joe shared bedroom. the two sat on the carpet sitting at other ends of the couch, resting on the arm chairs.

"happy birthday baby."

"thank you for all the gifts you guys got me."

"well, there's one more gift."

mark moved close to the other end of the couch, Mark now picking up donghyuck and resting him on the edge of his lap. he pulled a ring out of his pocket and held it out.

"Mark we've been dating for like 3 weeks- I don't know If im ready to get married yet-"

"marriage? oh god no! I just wanted to give you a promise ring. chenle gave me the idea for it."

"but marriage isn't off the table. if we're still together in 5 years we're getting married."

"of course angel."

just as Mark was about to lean into a kiss and they were mere centimetres from touching the door to their bedroom bust open.

"What in the actual fuck is going on here!"
