(a/n: i be spending more times searching aesthetic pics than writing the story lmfao. ty for 5k btw!)

the next day the two boys pretty much woke up together as donghyuck's brother entered the room. "wake up!" the boy shouted before quickly leaving the room. he had all reason to because donghyuck was rather pissed at him.

he exited the room, running after his little brother while mark was still sitting on the mattress. he covered himself with the blanket again which donghyuck had thrown away just seconds ago, his brain was not functioning enough to realise what was going on.

donghyuck meanwhile had caught his brother and dragged him into the kitchen. "dad, mom! he woke us up!" he complained.

"hyuckie, you're not ten anymore. let your brother go." his mother instructed and the male sighed removed his hand from his brother's shirt. the boy grinned and grabbed some of the fruit his mother was preparing before leaving the kitchen.

donghyuck looked at his mother. "so you're just going to let him?" he asked her.

"he is thirteen, he is starting puberty. so yes i'm going to let him. besides i told him to wake you guys up. it's after nine already." the woman told him. donghyuck checked the kitchen clock and indeed his mother was right. they slept almost nine hours.

"mark, i hope you slept well!" his mother called out, bringing donghyuck out of his thoughts. he turned around to see mark, looking as good as ever. his hair was a bit disheveled but else he looked fine.

"i sure did. thank you." mark bowed to her.

"oh stop it boy. how often do i have to tell you don't have to be all polite with me." donghyucks mother said. mark shrugged and replied "i'm sorry, i'm just so used to it." she went up to him and hugged him.

donghyucks heart flipped at the view. two of his favourite human beings being so happy. he loved how fond his mother was of mark and the other way around. it made mark seem like a perfect boyfriend and donghyuck wanted him to be just that.

"so what do you want to do today, hyuckie?" mark asked him and he shrugged. he didn't care hence why he told mark "whatever you like, mark-hyung."

"look at my baby being all polite." his mother squealed and pinched his cheeks. donghyuck turned his face away, hiding the embarrassment his mother gave him. he heard mark laugh and smiled.

"let's do stand-up paddeling." mark suggested and the younger boy agreed.

they ate breakfast and then got ready. both dressed in swimming trunks and shirt so their skin would be protected by the sun and they wouldn't have to be shirtless the whole time. donghyuck already got excited, he loved doing stuff like this with mark. it made him forget he was an idol, a celebrity. with mark he felt like the young adult he actually was, always being able to have fun.

they arrived at the beach where there were boards that you could rent for a certain amount of time. they paid for two hours and got onto the boards with a bit of help from the man that lend them the boards. mark got it quickly but donghyuck took a while. once both of them were standing steadily they started paddling up the river. it was quiet, and even though they didn't travel far it felt like they were cut off. just the two of them, paddling along the river. sometimes they would see a few boats but they never got close enough to be in danger. they talked a lot about everything and nothing. just chatting the time away.

when mark's watch beeped, telling them their time limit was nearing the two carefully paddled back to the beach. it was fuller now than it had been before and the two put on sunglasses and hats to minimise the risk of being recognised.

they stayed at the beach for a bit, mark buying them some ice cream.

"what are we doing this afternoon?" the older boy asked after finishing his ice cream.

"let's just go home and chill. there is too many people around here." donghyuck said.

so they did. they just laid in the garden on the grass together. chatting, giggling and laughing. donghyuck was enjoying every minute. how could he not? he was with mark and that was all that counted.

"mark?" donghyuck questioned after a short silence. he got a hum in reply.

"i-" donghyuck started but he couldn't say it. it was just three words but saying them out loud would make it real. it would make donghyuck's crush real.

"nevermind." he whispered. mark nodded in response and looked back to the sky were the sun was slowly going down. donghyuck looked at him, his sparkling brown eyes, his prominent cheek bones, his pink lips. at least he couldn't be blamed for crushing on mark. his looks were amazing and his character was even better. he was nice, a gentleman, ambitious, a great leader, a dork and so much more. and suddenly donghyuck felt incredibly lucky that he met mark lee.

he rolled over to the older and hugged him from the side. mark looked at the boy clinging onto him but didn't say a word. the two looked at each other, their eyes meeting. donghyuck could not look away, he felt like drowning on mark's eyes. mark didn't look away and so they were just laying there, getting lost in each other's eyes. until they could hear a car arrive.

"it's my dad." donghyuck said and finally broke their eye contact. "dinner will be ready soon then." he continued, looking at mark again. the canadian boy looked so peaceful, one arm behind his head and the other around donghyuck. the latter quickly raised his head and pecked mark's lips. it was short but sweet. he could see mark raising up his upper body so their faces were close again.

"hyuck?" mark whispered. the other hummed in response, getting lost in marks eyes again. it was addictive, honestly.
"i think, i'm not going to get over my crush anytime soon." mark spoke. the other chuckled and answered "i kind of guessed that already. to be fair, i'm not making it easy for you."

"damn right!" mark said and connected their lips again. this time it lasted longer and mark began exploring donghyucks mouth. not in lust, but in love. donghyuck responded with the same energy, happily wrapping his arms around mark's neck.

"dinner is ready!" a loud shout was heard and both boys jumped. quickly parting himself from mark he looked up to the house. it was very unlikely that any member of his family could've seen them but it bought the boys back to reality.

"we're coming!" donghyuck shouted back as loud as he could. mark chuckled.

"shut up!" the younger male said, looking at mark sternly.

"make me." the older boy teased and donghyuck did. just another quick peck but it was enough that mark followed him back to the house with the widest grin on his face.

the dinner was fun. donghyuck's parents joked around a lot which embarrassed donghyuck a little bit but when he saw mark was laughing and enjoying it he relaxed. they didn't stay up this time since tomorrow they made plans to go scuba diving which would be exhausting.

donghyuck, of course, ended up in marks bed again. slowly he started thinking he couldn't sleep without the male anymore. he knew that wasn't good since on tour the chances that they were to share a room were very slim. but he told himself that was a problem for another day and just snuggled himself further into marks chest where he fell asleep shortly after.
