17

Donghyuck watched as the clock struck 7
9pm and he sighed. He still had 3 hours till his birthday. Practice had ended a while ago and he quickly returned to his room, obviously avoiding Mark.

The door to his room opened and Jaemin liked his head in. Donghyuck immediately sat up in his bed and stared back at Jaemin.

Jaemin walked into the room, closing the door behind him, and made his way to Donghyuck's bed. Once he reached it, he pushed Donghyuck to the side and joined him on the bed. Donghyuck quietly allowed Jaemin to sit with him and held onto the blanket tightly.

"Hyuck" Jaemin started, causing Donghyuck to relax as he heard his nickname. "I'm sorry."

Donghyuck turned to Jaemin who started intently at the blanket that was covering his lap.

"It's okay" Donghyuck said, smiling at Jaemin and then putting his head in his shoulder. Jaemin leaned into Donghyuck's head and the two stayed like that for a while.

"But seriously talk to Mark hyung." Donghyuck took his head off Jaemin's shoulder and then turned to Jaemin.

"Listen I understand I should but-"

"Hyuck!" Jaemin interuptted him and then put his hands on Donghyuck's shoulder, shaking his vigorously in attempt to silence him. "Listen to me! You need to talk to Mark hyung! He's going through a lot more than you are. He didn't even know that he was gay until he caught feelings for you. Seeing you reject him continuosly will make him get wrong ideas."

Donghyuck looked at Jaemin with shock, once he stopped getting shaken. He didn't know that Mark only realised he was into guys until he started liking Donghyuck.

"I-"

"And you know why me, Jeno and Renjun have been away from you?" Jaemin said, more in a questioning tone. He waited for Donghyuck to give an answer.

"Because you guys hate me for doing this to Mark hyung?" Donghyuck answered, hoping he was wrong.

"No!" Jaemin replied, tightening his grip on Donghyuck's shoulders. "It's because we were planning-"

Before Jaemin could finish, Jeno and Renjun stumbled into the room and jumped onto the bed, crushing Donghyuck and Jaemin beneath them.

"We were stupid that's all!" Renjun exclaimed, quickly slipping into the bed and kicking Jeno's face in the process. "But don't worry, we're here for you now."

Donghyuck laughed as he saw Renjun try to give him a side hug, whilst Jeno fell to the floor and then climbed back onto the bed, only to be kicked off by Jaemin.

"Thanks guys" Donghyuck said. He felt warmth from all sides. Renjun was on his left, Jaemin was on his right, and Jeno was on his lap, annoyingly trying to join the hug but failing miserably.

"No worries." Jaemin whispered, as he saw that Donghyuck's eyes were slowly closing. "Now sleep well..."

☀️

"Hyuck..." Someone tapped Donghyuck's arm and whispered, trying to wake him up but also trying to not disturb him.

"What?" Donghyuck slowly opened his eyes to see Jaehyun hovering above him. "What is it hyung?"

As Donghyuck sat up, Jaehyun quickly pointed at the sticky note on his desk before running out of the room. Donghyuck picked the note up and read it.

"6pm ******* restaurant"

Donghyuck raised his eye brow and then looked over at the clock in his room. The time was currently 3pm. He had nearly slept through the half of the day. Donghyuck groaned as he stretched. There was pain in his back, where Jaemin had put his arm when hugging Donghyuck last night. He guessed that the other dreamies left not that long ago.
