I was writing a special chapter over one thing and then another happened. So basically this has two chapters put into one :)
Sorry if it gets too long.

As Donghyuck put his hand to his side, taking a deep breath and took a step back to get into a line, he felt someone stop right behind him. With a sigh, Donghyuck listened carefully for the beat, trying his best to ignore how close Mark was standing next to him. For some weird reason — Mark chooses not to disclose the cause for his actions — Mark had been cutting down the distance between them when they performed superhuman. At first, Donghyuck had assumed that Mark had accidentally taken a step too close to him and couldn't go back without the fans going crazy and assuming things. But then when Mark purposely pressed his body against Donghyuck's, breathing down his neck and laughed whenever he caught Donghyuck's eyes, he realised it wasn't an accident.

This time, Mark stood behind him, their arms by their sides but Mark had leaned forward, close enough to blow air over his ear. Donghyuck moved a beat too early, cursing in his mind as he did so before continuing to crouch down. He felt a hand hit his butt and he tilted his head to the side to send a glare in Mark's direction. All he got was a cheeky smile in return.

The song continued and Donghyuck tried his best to ignore the flutter in his heart every time Mark would get close to him or even just smile at him. Time passed and heartbreaker started. Donghyuck walked over to Mark, immediately throwing his arms around him and stared at him directly. He smiled at Mark as he watched his face reddened by the second. The small grin that was playing on his lips finally widen as Donghyuck snapped his head back whenever Mark would push it away.

"Stop," Mark whispered away from his mic, but Donghyuck paid no mind to it. They pulled apart and did their handshake, their hearts swelling as the fans got hyped up because of them and then walked past each other. Donghyuck smiled as he stared into the crowd. Not that long ago he had been sulking because Mark was not with him during the Dream Show. But now Mark was here with him, all giggly and smiley, and Donghyuck felt happier than he did before.

"You guys play around too much," Johnny groaned once they all stepped down from the stage, hastily taking off their microphones and getting changed. The concert had ended and they were on their way to the hotel. They had to sleep as soon as they reached there since they had a flight early in the morning back to Korea. "It's nearly annoying."

"Nearly?" Yuta perked up at the use of that term, "It's really annoying! The number of times the staff have told us to stop being so chaotic onstage."

"You say that when you're worse than them," Jaehyun scoffed and pushed Yuta off his chair, immediately taking a seat on it and reached over for the wipes to clean his makeup off.

"I'm not!" Yuta denied and began to poke Jaehyun's sides, trying to get a reaction out of him.

"To be very honest," Taeil started, getting up from his seat in the corner (and no one even questioned how he got dressed in casual clothes so quickly and where the hell his makeup went). "Our seniors are a lot wilder than we are."

"True," Taeyong agreed and Donghyuck glanced over at Mark, catching his eye and sent a smile his way. It was returned before Mark got dragged out of the dressing room and towards the van.

The rest of the things went by in a flash and Donghyuck found himself pressed against Mark's chest, his cheek flat against Mark's sweater and his legs tugged into Mark's. He felt a hand brush through his hair and relaxed into the touch. Normally, the members wouldn't let Donghyuck and Mark be roommates, claiming that they were too young to be left alone in a room (though they shared a bedroom once and had been roommates for nearly every other occasion before they started dating).
