"rise and shine, bitches!"

"chenle, shut the fuck up."

"you have no right to curse at my boyfriend. get out of my sight."

"no."

"i said go away, jaemin!"

mark's forced his eyes open, groggy from not sleeping properly once again. after donghyuck fell asleep, mark couldn't get himself to do the same and stayed up. he ended up sleeping around five in the morning and he had no clue how long he rested for. the tanned male beside him didn't look phased from the yelling one bit and had the same peaceful look. mark picked up his phone from underneath his arm and pushed himself up in a sitting position. "it's only eight?"

"we have a busy day ahead of us." renjun retorted playfully. this made mark groan. he didn't want to leave the huge comfy bed and donghyuck, of course.

"happy christmas years," jeno mumbled. mark looked towards the doorway and saw his son rubbing his eyes. he shifted his eyes to jaemin and saw the astonishment on his face, then onto renjun who was clearly gaping. they were probably going to end up gossiping to each other about how hot he appeared in the morning. then he realized that it would most likely be different since their kisses would be added to the mix. what a mess.

"it's christmas eve but okay, it's happy christmas years now. if anybody says something else, i'll personally attack them."

mark took this is a warning from jaemin and shook his head in agreement. "happy christmas years then."

"i'm taking a washing with water." he was completely out of it, practically sleeping while he stood. jeno burst into a fit of coughs and shook his head lightly as if he could stop it that way. "i'm awake now," he whined and stalked to the bathroom.

jisung scrunched his nose up in distaste, "he's such a child."

"so are you," renjun pointed out.

"i could snap you in half." he scoffed and went to where chenle was sitting on his phone.

"i'm going to go take a washing with water too. have fun killing each other." jaemin scurried out of the room before he could get attacked.

"what jisung said is true," mark called out. "you're really skinny and shorter then the rest of us."

"no, i'm a skinny legend. period."

"whatever floats your boat." the older hummed.

"do you think jeno is sick?" renjun's voice was laced with concern as he asked.

mark was in disbelief. "renjun, he just coughed. that doesn't mean he's sick."

chenle started laughing at that and the canadian watched how jisung was looking at him so lovingly. he had a gummy smile on show, his eyes never leaving chenle.

if only things were like that with his sunshine.

"hubby? is that you?" mark turned his head down to donghyuck who's eyes were barely open. he was the definition of cute. his hand was running through his hair which left it tousled and his lips were formed in a tiny pout. donghyuck would surely be the death of him someday.

"yes it's me," he giggled.

donghyuck turned to face the older and yawned. "i almost forgot you're here." he muffled out from the cream blanket that was now covering his mouth.

"i can't believe i'm here either. with you, a-and everyone else too! of course, yeah, um." mark stopped speaking, already making a fool of himself. his cheeks were ablaze from embarrassment and he wanted to throw himself under the bed and never return.

donghyuck's eyes squinted up a little and it showed that he was smiling from underneath the covers. "can you get any cuter?"

"no, i really can't." with that being said, mark threw his half of the blanket onto the tanned male beside him, leaving him covered from head to toe. "i'm going to go take a washing with water and—"

"i think i have the sniffles." jeno came out of nowhere and really did appear that way. his skin was more pale than usual and he kept wiping his nose with the sleeve of his hoodie.

renjun leaped up from where he was laying down and rushed to his crush's side. "mark! i fucking told you he's probably sick." he tugged on jeno's wrist and pulled him to the bed they were previously sleeping on. "come sit down."

despite him getting yelled at, mark couldn't help but find it funny. "oiii, how was i supposed to know?"

donghyuck got up wrapped in the blanket with only part of his head peaking out. "don't rage at my hubby for not taking care of your hubby. deal with it yourself."

"wait what happened to jeno?" in came jaemin with a towel in his hand. he wore a light red sweater with ripped jeans. typical jaemin.

"he's sick! i asked maple syrup and he said that he isn't sick because he only coughed. i could've done something and we wouldn't be here now," renjun stressed. he grabbed extra fluffy covers and piled them up on jeno.

mark laughed. "why are you being so over dramatic? he'll be fine with some medicine and love."

"love? i can give love. go get medicine jisung, you're being useless."

"take love from me too!" jaemin shrieked.

renjun threw his arms around jeno. he'd been quiet the whole time which was weird. he hadn't protested to anything the chinese was doing and kept sniffling. there were probably seven blankets on him by now. jaemin came in the mix and sat with his legs crossed, his hand shuffling through jeno's damp hair.

"i said to go get medicine!"

jisung got up and put on his thug life sunglasses. "hakuna your tatas homie." he made the peace sign and left the room.

mark chuckled wholeheartedly, clapping his hands at the same time. "what the hell did i just witness. also where did those glasses come from?" he said in between giggles.

"expect the unexpected from ji," chenle suddenly screeched. "why did this whore just kill me!"

donghyuck moved around and plopped his head down on the headboard, making a sound. "what are you even playing?"

"roblox— oh hell no! why are these whores coming after me. it's not my fault i'm better then them at this."

mark abruptly got up to take a shower and that made him dizzy. he sat down quickly and got back on his feet. grabbing all the things he needed, the canadian heard hushed talking from the trio on the bed. jeno was laying down, all the blankets pushed down to his feet except for one. renjun's figure was barely showing behind the sick boy and jaemin was still sitting. he wasn't sure how things would work out for them, but he definitely wished them the best.

he wished himself and donghyuck the best too. mark was nervous about if things would change when he left. there was connection between them, there had to be. he just had a gut feeling. once mark opened up about everything, they became very close and by the way donghyuck acted around him, there was no way to say that he didn't like him. as long as their feelings were mutual, everything would be fine. there was always a possibility that keeping a long distance relationship would leave them with lingering feelings about how they weren't with each other. that is, if they ever did get together. why did things have to be so complicated?
