The night continued, a dark aura settling over the boys. It was heavy, and undeniably there, yet it seemed that Donghyuck was the only one who hadn't sensed it.
He seemed dangerously comfortable, much to everyone's dismay, excluding Renjun of course.
Still in the same position as before, Donghyuck sat extremely close to Renjun.
He had to admit, there was something calming and comforting about the older. He made Donghyuck feel...safe.
His heart would skip a beat whenever Renjun would lean down and gently caress his shoulder, or play with his hair. These were all actions that the younger somehow made Donghyuck placid.
Jeno nervously chewed on his receding nail, his anxiety peaking when he saw Renjun sneakily wrap his arm around Donghyuck's waist. The younger of the two seemed to be half asleep, no longer aware of Renjun's inappropriate actions.
His knee began to bounce while his lip quivered. What was he to do in this situation?
He had never witnessed this before, but he had been through it, and he was scared to say the least. He was scared for Donghyuck's safety.
His actions halted when Mark placed a hand on Jeno's knee, stopping him from thumping his heel against the floor again.
"Stop, Jeno. All we can do is follow what Jun wants us to do." The eldest's words made sense, of course they did, but Jeno found it so difficult to sit back and watch Donghyuck turn into a shell - as each of them had.
Jisung refused to look at Donghyuck and Renjun, knowing that his actions were based on his fiery emotions. So instead of 'acting out' as Renjun had called it, he let his head fall onto Chenle's shoulder.
He inhaled the older boy's intoxicating scent. It was all he needed to let his eyes flutter closed. He wouldn't sleep, since he rarely did anymore, but he needed to rest his eyes every once in a while.
Donghyuck watched the television closely, but found it was fuzzy from exhaustion. The credits had begun rolling down the screen, but he found no strength to read the names and instead let himself fall asleep against Renjun.
He felt okay with this, 'cause he was safe with Renjun, right?
