the moment the song finished, all of their bodies plopped down on the floor of the dancing room trying to catch their breath. 

the three—jisung, chenle, and jaemin had their backs pressed on the cold floor. jeno and renjun stood up to go get a water bottle, and donghyuck looking straight at his reflection on the mirror that is also looking back to him.

"let's try again." mark said, walking back towards the speaker but just before he could play the sound again, he received a whine from other members.

jisung lifts his upper body up, now sitting on the ground, "hyung, can we rest for at least for a minute." the younger pleads.

"hyung, chill for a second." jeno said, gulping down the water.

the older brushed his fingers through his hair, while he lets out a heavy sigh. he gave them a small nod before sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. he signaled renjun to toss him a water bottle and the latter immediately did as what told.

the older of the group is so eager to do their whole choreography again because even after so many tries, they will always find themselves making a small mistake and just can't pinpoint what it is. they did all sorts of things such as, observing their moves through the mirror and even recording their selves on one of their phones just so they can observe what's wrong.

he sighs to himself once again, and stood up. "ready now?" mark asks again, walking towards the laptop. when he heard multiple 'yes' he pressed the play button and all of them went to their own respective position.

their dance went on. they can't say they had the most flawless flow but it's a dance practice anyway, they still have plenty of time before their final comeback and they can still make a few more adjustments later on.

all of them looked at each other in the mirror, confused. "hyung, you're supposed to be here." jisung looked at donghyuck through the mirror, and points at the center.

donghyuck didn't even realize that it was the chorus part and he was supposed to be in the center yet he found himself at the very back of his other members, "o-oh right!" he awkwardly smiled, and they continued.

this whole time, donghyuck tries his best to put his mind in their choreography only.

donghyuck was acting strange and they know that, they notice it. every dance practice the tanned male will always childishly runs around, laughing here and there and the only person that will light up the temperature around him.

surely his behavior did not go unnoticed by the members.

"donghyuck it's your part now." renjun spoke in the middle of their choreo also looking at the said male through the mirror.

"h-huh?" donghyuck finally snaps out,  "oh yeah..." he quickly went to his spot.

mark halts on his place before going back to the laptop to stop the music, catching the members' attention. he brushed his fingers through his hair, trying to his best to control his frustration. "donghyuck, are you okay?" he looked at the tanned male, "you kept making mistakes."

he wasn't mad at donghyuck but he's a perfectionist when it comes to these types of things—like perfecting their choreo to be exact and seeing donghyuck spacing out from time to time in the middle their dance triggered him.

donghyuck immediately noticed the older's gaze on him, not only that, but he can also see the older's sweat traveling to his neck and down to his white shirt. you can almost see his bare chest through his shirt and even his—

"hyuck, are you tired?" he felt a tap on his shoulder, making him snap out of his thoughts.

donghyuck saw jaemin looking at him worried—and his other members too, as well. he let out a heavy breath and shook his head, "y-yeah! i'm fine," he gave them an awkward smile, "just a little tired."

"should we wrap it up today?" jeno suggest, also feeling a little worn out from their non-stop practice, "i mean we still have a lot more time to practice, let's now call it a day."

jeno immediately got an answer, "i agree." mark replied. all of them started packing their things, but some members decided to lay back on the ground, not having enough energy to move.

on the other hand, donghyuck makes his way towards the door, which caught mark's attention, "oh? you're leaving now?"

the younger looked back but did not even bother making eye contact with mark, "nope! just going to the bathroom." he received a nod from mark but before he can even leave completely, mark shouts again.

"be quick though!" the older told, "we're going to do a vlive!"

after they decided to packed their things, they all agree on making a live to try spending their free time with their fans. so all of them gathered on one of the couches in the practice room, with jisung setting up the camera to use for their live. once all of them are settled, the youngest pressed the red button and the live started.

all of them started saying their hi's and hello's and literal chaos started—just the dreamies and their normal habitat.

while the other members started talking to their fans jeno pulls out his phone to try and read to comments of the live. he makes a small sound when a comment grabbed his attention, "fans are asking, where is donghyuck-ie."

and at the exact moment, they heard the door opened, and they immediately shot their heads at the direction. they all cheered making the tanned male confused. jeno gestured donghyuck to walk quickly, "quick! fans are looking for you!"

donghyuck shoots them a small smile and nods before making his way towards the couch.

he stands just behind the phone, to find a space on the couch to sit on. he didn't find any, almost the couch is occupied by his members but his eyes manages to land on mark's lap.

mark looks at the younger, confused as to why he's not sitting yet, just then he realized there's no space left. he saw donghyuck's stare at his lap, at first he thought the younger will seat on his lap—just like what he always does, well that's what he thought.

he was surprised when donghyuck broke eye contact and immediately placed himself on top of jeno's lap—wrapping his arms around his neck.

"hi everyone!" donghyuck greets the fans through the camera in an aegyo-like tone, waving his hands with his other hand.

he doesn't know why but mark felt like he wants to chase the younger off of jeno and place him on his laps instead. 

he hates the donghyuck's skinship right? why is feeling this way? 

he looked through the camera to see a glimpse of the younger and saw donghyuck teasing jeno by rubbing his cheek to the older's. the sight made him scoff, immediately peeling his eyes off the screen. he tried to control himself on rolling his eyes since they're still in front of a live camera.

the whole live, donghyuck continues teasing jeno. their mood is the exact opposite from earlier, donghyuck is back teasing the other members that are seating next to him—which is jeno and jisung—with his skinships and now lighting up the mood.

maybe donghyuck is just tired earlier that's why he kept spacing out in the middle of their choreography, mark thought while constantly catching a glimpse of the younger through the screen.

"jeno-yah~" donghyuck cutely says while teasingly rubbing his cheeks on the older's shoulder. jeno's not complaining though, so donghyuck can't see himself stopping what he's doing.

all of a sudden, mark sprung himself up from his seat, catching the dreamies' attention. all of them looked at the older, confused.

"l-let's end the live n-now?" mark stutters, cursing at himself under his breath for stuttering and acting this way. he tries to play it off by looking at his wristwatch, and looked back on the screen, "we're heading out now, everyone!"

they instantly agrees in unison without asking any more questions which mark is thankful for. jisung waved at the screen first before making pressing the 'x' on the screen, and just like that, the live ended.

all of them stood up from their spot, stretching their bodies and soon slinging their bags on their shoulders.

"i'll head out first." mark informs and before the other members can say anything, he shortly disappeared out of the door.

"what happened to him?" jeno jokingly asks, as he chuckles.

jaemin looks at his members but his eyes landed specifically on donghyuck, "he might be... you know..." he wiggles his brows towards the tanned male, "jealous?"

donghyuck playfully rolled his eyes at the younger, "what're you talking about."

"well you're sitting on jeno's lap earlier," jaemin told, his smirk is started to get big, clearly teasing the older, "he probably saw that."

when renjun finally got the memo, he nudges donghyuck's sides and started letting out teasing noises. now all of his members started playfully pushing his side.

"whatever," he blurts out and started walking towards the door, "hurry, mark hyung's probably waiting."

donghyuck almost forgot that they know his feelings for the older, the time when he accidentally blurts it out of nowhere. let's just hope he can keep his mouth shut and not share his dirty thoughts and wet dreams he got with mark.
