they arrived at the mall a little too late, because of traffic, maybe because it's weekends today.

"woah. it's freezing." donghyuck mumbled and looking up at the sky as he closed the car.

donghyuck felt a warm body pressed against him. "here." the older hugged the younger with his whole arms making donghyuck blush. if this is mark's way of warming donghyuck then donghyuck just wanted to feel cold all the time.

donghyuck nodded and they both entered the mall. "do you want to eat first? or..?" the older asked.

"eat!" donghyuck squealed cutely.

they both look for a good place to eat, when mark is about to speak, the younger saw a place dragging the older with him.

they entered and sat one of the tables as a waiter comes up to them asking for their orders. "we'll take this.. and.. this." the younger male said pointing at the dishes on the menu.

"is that okay hyung?" donghyuck asked raising his brows. getting just a nod from the older, he smiled at the waiter signaling him that he could leave now.

mark looked everywhere but not on donghyuck, the younger male noticed and spoke. "are you good?" donghyuck asked.

mark shake his head as the younger male sighed and was about to speak. "he clearly looking at you like you're the whole meal." mark said with a hint of possessiveness in his voice.

donghyuck chuckled, shaking his head because of the older's cuteness. he could totally replace the word 'jealousy' and turned it to 'mark' instead.

"you know what? let's just eat." donghyuck giggled and exactly by that time the foods have arrived.

when the older still noticed that, that the same person is still looking at donghyuck and, only him. the older decided to change the topic.

"don't you think that waiter is looking at you..." mark asked whispering the last part. "a bit too much?" 

the younger male sneakily glanced at the waiter not wanting to get his attention, "i agree." donghyuck whispered. not only that donghyuck is getting uncomfortable by it but also mark too.

at this point donghyuck's feeling a little uncomfortable, of course, mark noticed it. they've been eating here for almost an hour now and mark decided to check out. he raised his hands up, "check out, please!"

the same waitress came still eyes on the tanned male who is looking down at his water fidgeting with his straw.

"my eyes are here, sir." the older spoke coldly as ever. "ah... right." the waiter said and chuckled awkwardly. mark paid while dragging the tanned male a little harshly.

"hyung..?" donghyuck mumbled but loud enough for mark to hear. they successfully got out of the place and mark looked at the younger.

"im.. sorry.." mark said hugging the younger. earning a nod, the older snaked his arms around donghyuck's waist making him a little flustered.

they started walking around the mall, still hands on donghyuck. being so possessive over what? donghyuck and mark aren't even together, why would mark feel this type of way?

two whole hours passed and donghyuck has been carrying four paper bags, two for each hand. although donghyuck may feel a little guilt inside him, he is also thankful for all of these.

if you already thinking that, that would stop there, well shame on you. mark is now dragging donghyuck towards the stuffed toys.

once they entered the store, something already caught the younger's attention, but of course, he doesn't want to look like he liked it, cause he knows mark would immediately buy it, but clearly, the older did already saw it.

they walked toward the toy that donghyuck is eyeing and mark took it.
"hyung, you don't have to spoil me." donghyuck said already feeling some guilt.

"donghyuck, it's okay." mark replied and smiled cheerfully. "so? this..?" the older said holding a baby lion stuffed animal. donghyuck smiled while nodding like a kid.

they both exited the mall and donghyuck hugging the plushie as if his life depends on it.

"stop that, im jealous!" mark said and glared at the plushie. that make the tanned male laugh. "are you serious? let's just go." donghyuck giggled.

they arrived at the parking, the older staring at the younger's lips. he noticed that it's a little dry, maybe because of the freezing wind.

he got an idea, he grabbed the younger's shoulder and donghyuck looked up confused.

the older gave him a smile as he smashed his lips on donghyuck making the younger flinched.

donghyuck eyes opened widely as he don't know what to do, he felt the older's hand going down on his waist and finding himself enjoying the kiss, later on his arms are slowly making its way on mark's neck. very unexpected but of them are surely enjoying it. 

but why would mark do that all of a sudden, donghyuck thought.

after minutes non-stop of savoring, the older broke the kiss, still gasping for some air. "your lips are a little chapped." the older shyly said.

"all of a sudden?" donghyuck trailed looking down on his shoes as a blush crept on his cheeks. "i guess i can't just lick my own lips then." the younger joked, causing mark to feel embarrassed 

"oh... i-i'm sorry... i was just—"

"why are you saying sorry?" the younger looked up giggling, cutting mark's sentence. "it was good..." donghyuck whispered to himself only.

mark looked away, "well i just thought you'll hate me for it and maybe i'm taking things too fast..." mark said as he continues, "i'm very sorry, donghyuck—"

"hyung!" the younger softly slapped mark's shoulder, "stop apologizing."

the older let out an "ah..." and nodded shyly. they both got in the car and waited for another 30 minutes drive.

-----

they got back home all sleepy. donghyuck saw mark knocked out on the couch.

"do you mind sleeping here for tonight? you're kinda sleepy, i guess." the tanned male offered. getting a nod from the older, donghyuck rushed at the bathroom and have a little shower.

after showering, donghyuck walked towards his room as mark walked towards jaemin's room. as when the older was about to close the door, "hyung," the younger said and mark peeked his head, "do you want to uh... sleep in my... r-room."

he's used to having jaemin sleep in his room every night, that's the truth. he wants someone's presence beside him.

the older nodded and smile, walking towards the younger's room. "if you're uncomfortable with it, then you don't have to."

"i'm not, hyuckie." mark said cupping the younger's face, "come on, i know you're tired and me too, let's sleep."
