Mark felt very proud of himself as he boarded the bus and sank next to Hyuck, who immediately tried to nuzzle into him, and Mark shoved him off, though he wanted him to stay. Jaemin scoffed as he walked past to see the two of them bickering, and internally Mark laughed.
Their friends had no idea they were dating (they'd actually hidden it really well over the months they'd been dating), and so they planned for them to have a huge blow up on their annual beach vacation with their friend group.
It wasn't anything that would be actually harmful - in fact, they'd rehearsed it until Donghyuck could cry when Mark had said a certain word - and every time Mark freaked out and apologised immediately.
Donghyuck had laughed every time as Mark cupped his face and apologised with a billion kisses, only making Hyuck laugh harder. "Will you get off?" Mark snapped, sounding mean even to his own ears, and Donghyuck pouted.
"But Markie -"
"If the both of you bicker this entire time," Jeno began from the seat behind them where Jaemin was cuddled next to him. "This will be a long journey."
"They bicker every year," Jisung said from in front of them as Shotaro settled across the aisle with Sungchan. "It's not the end of the world if they bicker."
"I don't want to listen to it for hours though," Jaemin whined. "We're on here for two hours."
"But the beach house is the prize at the end of the tunnel!" Hendery cheered.
"Are Lucas and Jungwoo driving themselves?"
"They caught a bus yesterday to get the house in order," Chenle responded as he plopped down next to Jisung. "That's why luggage had to be there yesterday, they brought it all and chose rooms."
"As long as Jaemin is quiet during se -"
"Will you shut up?"
"Please, we all know Jeno's a bottom."
"This is already giving me a headache."
"Xiaojun isn't wrong though, Jaemin is hella loud during sex -"
"Oh god, that's not me!" Jaemin defended himself, and Jeno buried his head in his hands, his face a burning red colour.
"Oh so it is Jeno?" Hyuck shouted, and Jeno stood up, ready to strangle him as the bus began its journey and forced Jeno to sit down again.
"You really shouldn't pick fights Donghyuck," Mark said coldly, and everyone went quiet as Mark used Hyuck's full name. "No one likes it."
"I don't pick them, they find me." Donghyuck shot back. "Besides, don't act all high and mighty, you're an absolute nightmare when you're tired. Should I count how many fights are caused by you?"
"Go ahead, the number's zero. You just push buttons." Mark turned away from Hyuck, towards the window, and felt Hyuck tap his foot twice, meaning the words they had rehearsed were going as planned - and that he wasn't mad.
Mark internally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning his head against the glass and pretended to be angry as he put in his earbuds, violently shrugging off Hyuck's attempt to lay his head on Mark's shoulder.
Their friends were watching closely, but Mark's phone quickly buzzed with a few texts, all from Renjun asking if he needed them to swap seats, which Mark said yes to, and seconds later, Renjun appeared.
"Hey Mark, YangYang needs to talk to you about something. Mind if I sit here?"
"Not at all. Take it." Mark said stiffly, grabbing all his stuff and moving back to YangYang as Renjun moved next to Hyuck and they began to talk in hushed voices. "Hey."
