"Hello, I'm Xiaojun. Reporter of the WayV Police Station. I came to announce that NCT 127 is officially free, they will no longer be held in captivity by us. My apologies for all the relatives of victims and survivors- that have been through horrible times because of what the gang did- that are still searching for justice. But we can proudly state that NCT 127 have bettered their lives. They are no longer criminals and they will move away from our city and never will you hear from them again."

The big television screen turned off as Donghyuck turned around to face his friends (and lover) with a small smile on his face.

"So I guess this is it...", he heard Mark mumble, partly saddened and partly happy. "Yeah...", Donghyuck softly answered with an emotional smile on his face.

Yuta scoffed at the couple and their teary eyes. "Oh stop it you two, it's not like you'll never see each other again."

Donghyuck now laughed "He's got a point though..", silence fell upon all the boys that were standing in the train station. NCT 127- they honestly didn't want to be called that anymore, since they didn't do any of the old gang activities they used to do anymore- had gotten a house somewhere outside the city.

It was just temporary, until they all had their own jobs and were stable enough for their own places to live. For now they had to do it with a rather old country house and each other.

Not like they were complaining, the police had granted them so much already, they were thankful to have friends like them. And it was for the better if they would stay together for a while longer, they needed each other.

Going back to living normally again, would be a difficult thing to do. Many things would be different, but it was worth it as long as they were together.

Everyone- from the cops to the kids- had come together to say bye to their friends and wish them luck. Everyone had said their thing already, only Donghyuck was left.

"So", he coughed slightly, finally looking up to his friends. His eyes were filled with pride. "I give you guys my best wishes", he smiled at them, "I'm so glad that I've found you guys back.. And that you also found yourselves back."

They nodded and looked at the younger boy with the same pride. "You've became so mature, I remember when you cried because I accidentally stepped on your plushie", Taeyong sighed. Getting a little emotional by all the memories. Everyone laughed, they remembered that moment so clear.

Donghyuck shook his head slightly and giggled at his friends, then he opened his arms. "Group hug?", he asked and within a second all of them were around him.

The hug lasted a few minutes, until a soft cough interrupted them. "Hyuck.. we should go now, their train is about to leave..", the soft voice of Jaemin muttered. The tanned male nodded and finally let go of his friends as he looked at them with glossy eyes.

"Stay safe and take care of each other... Hopefully we'll see each other soon", he grinned happily and everyone nodded. They all gave him another hug and then grabbed their bags and tickets. Turning around one last time, they waved at Donghyuck and the others behind him.

Donghyuck stood there for a while, pouting because he couldn't give Mark the goodbye he wanted to give him. Jaemin seemed to notice this and sighed, pushing Donghyuck forwards slightly. "Go get your man..", he muttered and Donghyuck wasted no time.

Mark was about to get on the train, when he heard someone call his name. He turned around to see Donghyuck running towards him. He smiled and opened his arms, waiting for Donghyuck to fall into them. And when he did, he pressed their lips together.

The sound of the bell was heard clearly, meaning that the train was about to leave. The boys finally parted and looked into each other's shining eyes.

"I love you Mark Lee", Donghyuck whispered as he pecked Mark's lips once again.

"I love you too fullsun."

And with that, Donghyuck finally let go of Mark and watched the train ride away as Mark walked down the hallway, towards his seat next to Johnny, with the biggest smile ever playing on his lips.

They were ready for this new journey and the adventures it would come with.
