(a/n: ty for 1k!!!)

it was probably one of the worst things donghyuck had ever experienced. hearing mark, his best friend, cry because he fucked up. and there was nothing donghyuck could do about it.

after a while the cries quieted down and only some faint hiccups were heard. it was easy for donghyuck to imagine mark right now, sitting on the other side of the door, wiping his eyes.

"i'm sorry, mark." donghyuck said. if it was directed towards the other to hear or just something he said out loud donghyuck didn't know. what he did know was that mark heard him because he faintly asked "donghyuck? you're there?"

"yeah?" the younger whispered. he wasn't sure what to expect from mark now. the door opened and sitting on the other side was mark, his eyes evidently red from crying.
hesitantly mark asked "what does all of this mean, hyuckie? what are we now?" he wasn't sure wether he wanted to hear the others answer or not. he himself wasn't even sure what he was feeling for donghyuck.

"i thought we were friends?" donghyuck mumbled.
"me too, until you kissed me."

the two looked at each other. donghyuck was extracting his arm and wiped the olders cheeks that were still wet. mark looked at him and then slowly opened his arms. as soon as the younger boy realised his hyung's plan he threw himself into his arms. quietly he started sobbing, mark rubbing his back in a comforting manner.

"what have we done, hyung?" donghyuck asked and mark wished he could answer but he didn't know either. there was no plan for falling for your best friend. who happened to be an idol just like you. in a very homophobic country. and so mark started crying again too. through all the tears he managed to say "hyuck, i think... i think i like you."

that made the younger just weep even more so that now both of their shirts were drained in each other's tears. after a while they both calmed down, heavy breathing now being the only thing heard.

„what do we do now, hyung?" donghyuck asked and in that moment he sounded almost like a scared child.

"i- i'll just try to get over my crush." mark voiced. the smaller looked at him and noted "i didn't think you were gay to be honest."

"i am not.. or at least that's what i thought." mark spoke after a short while. donghyuck hesitantly explained "i can't blame you. i mean, i kissed you first but i don't have any feelings for boys. that is until now of course."

"then why did you kiss me?" mark wanted to know, almost desperately. since he admitted to himself that he liked donghyuck of course his brain was trying to make the other fall for him too. mark told it not to because this was obviously his best friend and totally off limits.

"i don't know. i wish i did but i have no clue." donghyuck whispered and then added "i guess it just felt right. and it's not like we haven't kissed before." as he said that mark blushed and mumbled something along the lines of 'i thought you were asleep'.

donghyuck laughed quietly and hugged him one last time before standing up on his legs. "come on, we will eat dinner soon. let's hope the others didn't hear us." mark stood up too, went to the bathroom sink and splashed some water on his face so it wouldn't be so noticeable that he had cried.

"good idea." donghyuck said and followed his actions. and just when both of their faces were dry, chenle entered the room to tell them that dinner was ready.

"so we're just going to pretend this didn't happen and wait for my crush to pass?" mark whispered to donghyuck while following after chenle.

"that's the plan. and of it doesn't work i don't mind making out with you, that was hot." donghyuck whispered back, both being careful so that chenle didn't hear them. mark was also doubtful about donghyuck since the boy did not seem to care for the fact that he found making out with mark hot. but the older told himself to not try and understand what goes on in donghyuck's mind sometimes. he knew it was easier that way but usually he always knew what was going on with donghyuck. they knew each other so well. but then again they never made out before so this was a new situation for both of them.

dinner would have been awkward if it wasn't for the fact that the other five boys were loud. donghyuck und mark weren't seated next to each other either which also helped. donghyuck just clung onto renjun. the older definitely did not like that and fought donghyuck. it was just play fighting and both of them enjoyed it.

"come on renjun-ah.!" donghyuck whined after the smaller hit him hard.

"that's hyung to you, you brat." renjun answered and gave donghyuck another smack.

"you're older by three months." donghyuck noted while tubbing his shoulder but renjun just shrugged his shoulders and said "still older."

on the other side mark was talking with jeno and jaemin about the comeback. chenle joined in "actually we did a vlive. me and jisung after he came back. we almost spoiled the chorus and the manager had to stop us. it was really funny, you should've seen his face." the young boy laughed.

"chenle, jisung." mark sighed "try to not make their job as difficult as possible okay? you know they already have a lot to do and it won't help them if they have to monitor us the whole time."

"but the fans loved it though." jisung now spoke.

"yes, the whole chat was full of it." chenle added. mark just shook his head and jeno and jaemin laughed.

he had no idea how they had been managing without him but jaemin had told him that donghyuck often spoke up. it made mark a bit proud that he influenced the younger to that extent where he would speak up and take mark's role in scolding the other members. it also made his heart flutter a bit but he tried his best to ignore it. he told donghyuck he would overcome his crush so that's what he would do.

the rest of the dinner was peaceful (as peaceful as the dreamies could get) and after mark offered himself to do the dishes. everyone else got up and even though renjun offered helping mark the other declined. he needed some alone-time.

after finishing he finally went to his room only to see donghyuck waiting for him, already laying in mark's bed with his pyjamas on.

"you know, you're not making it easy for me to get over you when you do stuff like this." he said.

"am i not allowed to cuddle you anymore?" the younger boy asked and made a cute face.

"aish... wait, i'll be ready in five minutes." mark mumbled before getting ready to sleep. he then proceeded to cuddle himself next to donghyuck and this time both of them fell asleep soon. too much had happened today. the last thing that mark was thinking before driving off to dreamland was how whipped he actually was for donghyuck.
