"nct 127, together with nct dream are spotted in busan, it was rumored that they went on a private trip and are now heading back in seoul."

closing his phone off, taeyong sighed as he massaged his forehead. doyoung beside him noticed and can't help but to ask, "you saw the news?" he bitterly chuckles, shaking his head in disbelief.

it was spread all around their social media. "i bet someone might've followed us here." johnny comments and the two just agreed.

this was not new to them anymore. wherever they go, cameras will always follow them—it's understandable since they're idols, people will always find a way to follow them, yet, at the same time, they still don't want their privacy to be invaded.

"let's not pay attention to that anymore," as the oldest of the group, taeil suggests, trying to cool the members' minds, "we're about to go home anyway."

they decided to close their phones and get off social media for a while and get back to the house to check on the members.

as taeil said, they're about to go home meaning they reached the last day of their vacation week. they felt was for leaving this house and the comfort it gave them, they'll going to miss the fun together they created here. taeyong's suggestion was surely a good idea to have a get-together and let the members be closer to each other since they live in different dorms and don't see each other that often.

everyone is busy cleaning their room and packing their things so they won't forget anything.

as the three walked towards the kitchen, they met mark standing in front of the fridge and assumed he was looking for something to eat. "hey." doyoung greeted, sounding a little too serious.

mark turned around after hearing the voice and that's where he saw his hyungs, specifically, doyoung, taeyong, and johnny, although he was confused with the sudden mood around them, he replied a small yet confused "hey?"

doyoung had his arms crossed while two on the back leaned on the kitchen counter trying to contain their laughs. "what did you two do last night?"

they heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen and jaehyun suddenly showed up, "oh? you didn't hear them last night?" he asked, shooing mark in front of the fridge and grabbed himself a bottle of water. "they were loud."

"w-what?!" in panic, mark looked at them with yet those confused eyes, "nothing happened with me and donghyuck last night—w-well except making out but n-no! nothing happened..."

the four males in front of him suddenly burst out laughing, "calm down, kid." johnny said in between his laughs.

"sure mark, we believe you." taeyong said, patting the younger's shoulder like a proud dad.

mark playfully rolled his eyes, finally realizing his hyungs are here to tease him. "whatever." mark blurts, still annoyed with his hyungs.

he walked out of the kitchen still hearing the annoying laughs from his hyungs, and decided to head upstairs to search for donghyuck. the sight of the dreamies, shouting at each other in the hallways greeted him. they're probably arguing about something stupid again, mark thought to himself.

"i swear to god, jaemin!" renjun's voice was heard.

"i told you it wasn't me, it was chenle!" jaemin fought pointing at the younger male in front of them.

the younger looked at them with an offended look, "it was just a stupid shirt!" yeah, chenle might've stolen a shirt from renjun without him knowing.

he made his steps lighter, just in case he'll catch their attention but seems like he already did when he heard their shouts slowly dying down.

"oh, hi hyung." jaemin greeted, so casually, acting like they're not screaming at the top of their lungs seconds ago.

the other seemed to notice the older's presence too when all of their eyes now landed on him. the firey eyes they were shooting at each other started to be replaced with teasing looks.

"what's up?" he asked, looking at the three of them confused. why does everyone in this house acting like this? mark thought to himself.

the three sneakily gave a glance to each other before saying, "so donghyuck, huh?"

a deep red blush immediately painted his cheeks as he tried to look away. he saw this coming, yet, he can't help but feel shy about the mentioned name.

he pulled himself together, before answering, "w-well..." he stutters, mentally cursing at himself as he almost lost his cool there, "how did you guys know donghyuck likes me before i do?" the older managed to argue. he still remembered the time donghyuck telling him that he already told the dreamies about his feelings towards the older.

"that's the benefit of being donghyuck's close friend?" jaemin shrugged as if he's bragging about it.

"am i not donghyuck's close friend?" mark asked, sounding like he's offended because the last time he checked he's been friends with the latter with almost his whole life.

chenle shook his head as a no, "no, you're his boyfriend."

the three of them started to walk away, going back to their respective rooms. but before renjun can even leave the blushing older, he patted his shoulder and got near his ear, "don't do something dirty inside and start packing."

he was about to protest and prove the younger wrong—that they're not going to do something dirty, although that sounded a little too impossible—instead, the slamming of the door was the last thing he heard before snapping out from his thoughts.

a sigh fell on his lips. he hasn't caught a break from all of this teasing ever since the members found out him and donghyuck are in a relationship. although, it still makes him happy knowing that the members accepted them and don't see them any differently.

once he finally opened their room, donghyuck's back is the first sight he saw. it looks like the younger is already packing up their bags.

slowly closing the door, he made his way behind donghyuck and wrapped his arms around his small waist, catching the latter off guard.

"hyung!" donghyuck whined, clutching mark's arms around him.

mark released a small chuckle, looking at his lover's cute reaction. dropping the clothes on his hand, donghyuck turned around to face his lover yet before he can even take a good look at the older's face, he was immediately pulled into a kiss.

a small gasp fell from his lips but he replied afterward by wrapping his arms around mark's neck to pull him closer.

the older tried to deepen the kiss by biting donghyuck's lips in an attempt to insert his tongue in however, the younger was enough to pull away. "no hyung, we're packing up." he said in his giggles, reminding mark what they're supposed to be doing.

he got back to what he was doing, leaving mark behind him, pouting. the older released a dramatic sigh, really wanting more of donghyuck's attention right now.

the younger noticed resulting in him to look back on the older and saw the sight of the older looking at him with puppy eyes. "and what is it?" he managed to tease. mark didn't talk and only pouts harder. "more kisses?" donghyuck asked, trying to act clueless with what mark wanted.

the older nods, still not aware of the pout on his lips.

"alright." donghyuck giggles, walking closer towards his lover to wrap his arms back around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss.

this time, mark made sure that he couldn't escape from his arms. lifting the younger's body, he carries him towards their bed, slowly placing donghyuck's body down on the soft mattress.

mark looked at him for a second and smirks before kissing him again. he made sure to enter his tongue, while his hands snakes slowly down on donghyuck's waist down to his ass which immediately caught donghyuck off guard with how the older groaps it.

donghyuck couldn't help it—a moan instantly fell on his lips, loving the way mark works his tongue and hands on him.

pulling away for a second, the younger made their foreheads touch, "hyung..." the younger calls out and the older immediately hums as a reply, signaling him that's he's listening, "do you want to tell our fans about us?"

the question was so sudden for mark. he pulls away a little more—yet, still making their faces closer—to look at donghyuck's eyes. he shoots him a smile, "it's all up to you, baby." he continues, "if you're comfortable with the idea then let's do it."

"what about you?" the younger pouts. he thinks mark cares about him so much, "what if i say yes, but you don't want it?"

mark pecks him before saying, "don't won't happen because i'm always here to support your decisions, donghyuck." he paused and made eye contact with his lover for a second.

donghyuck turned their bodies around so he can get on top of the older and almost immediately he gave the older a tight hug, burying his face on the crook of mark's neck, "i love you." the younger's voice sounds small but it was enough for the older to hear.

"that was sudden." the older said in between his chuckles, although he's not complaining though.

"you're too lovable! i can't help it!" donghyuck instantly replies, pulling away from his lover's neck to look at him.

mark can feel himself melt at donghyuck's words, "and i feel the same way to you," he continues, "i love you, baby."

and as if time slowed down, they can feel themselves leaning in for a kiss. they could've pressed their lips and savored this very moment, not when they heard an abrupt knock on the door, "okay cool, sweet, but when are you guys getting ready." a deep voice coming from the other side of the door was heard—it was johnny.

and by now, both of their faces are flushed red. the younger was the first one to pull away, and spring himself up, "d-doing that right now!"
