friday morning. waking up, donghyuck felt like all of his energy is back. he tried his best to smile like how he would, but let's not force himself today.

glancing at the clock, he's late. he quickly grabbed something fresh, if i mean fresh, i meant changing into another hoodie and another piece of sweatpants.

making his ways towards the bus stop, luckily, he arrived at time.

everything was new to him, no one beside him as he walks to the bus stop, no one besides him as he sits, it's always been jaemin when he didn't found out about mark. but without him, it's mark to take the spot, he's always on duty to take care of donghyuck, to talk with donghyuck, to laugh, to hug him, a shoulder to cry on, but he's not here.

he felt bad, he didn't think of listening to mark's side of story too, he felt selfish, hearing all those words from jaemin made him snap.

he's going to apologize now, he's going to fix it.

and exactly by that, the bus arrived in front of the school, that snapped donghyuck out of his thoughts.

----

the younger entered the school, walking straight forward his locker, grabbing all the things he needed, and went walking towards his room.

"donghyuck? you're late." the teacher sighed but just signaled donghyuck to sit on his seat.

"donghyuck i think you two should really talk—" renjun started, as started cleaning his desk.

"i will. bye!" just like that he left renjun in the classroom. finally, the older thought. they're going to talk, the chinese male released a sigh in relief.

on the other hand, donghyuck run as fast as he could towards the older's apartment which is not far from his house. standing in front, it made his pace slower, he's hesitant at first, but decided to just do it, go for it.

he unlocked the unlocked door, which made him confused. dropping his bag down, walked towards the living room, and saw mark.

his face is covered inside his hood, spacing out, looking at nothing but the floor. mark didn't seem to notice someone had entered his house.

"i'm sorry." the younger whispered, which made the older jolt his head up. seeing donghyuck with sad puppy eyes, made his eyes a little watery. he slowly approached the older, "i'm sorry." the younger said again, as if mark didn't hear it.

standing up from his place, he shook his head as a no. "no, baby. it was my fault, i was late, then i approached a stranger and that happened to be hyejin, and she tried to hug me and—"

the younger pushed the older back down on the couch and sat on his lap, placing his hands on the older's chest, "no i was supposed to be sorry, i didn't let you explain, i worry about myself first, knowing that i'm in the relationship and that someone is hurt too." donghyuck continues, "i saw you with that girl and i just got scared."

"baby." mark whispered, placing a hand on the younger's waist. "don't be, please know that i'm all yours." mark continued.

"i miss you. i miss everything about you."

"i miss you too—" but before mark could reply back, donghyuck hungrily pulled the older's hoodie and made their lips connect.

and mark got surprised that the younger's is leading it. the younger pulled mark's hood down, looking at his neck before attacking it. mark moaned, which is a sign that donghyuck found the spot. the tanned male continued abusing it, making mark grab tightly on his butt.

pulling out, satisfied with his made mark, he hugged him as tightly as he can. "i miss you, daddy." donghyuck muttered, making the older surprised.

"when did you learn all of this? huh?" mark whispered in a raspy voice, which sent chills down on the younger's spine.

softly slapping donghyuck butt, as if he's scolding him. "i miss you, baby." mark locked the younger in his arms as if his life depends to it.

-----

donghyuck woke up feeling comfortable, realizing he was in someone's bed, he looked up and saw he was sleeping above mark, well maybe he's comfortable because he's in someone's arms now.

he lazily gave pecks in the older's lips until he woke up. "good morning." mark greeted in his morning voice.

"i'm sorry." donghyuck whispered, with a bit of sad tone, scenes from yesterday still bugged him, he did feel guilty.

mark sat up, sliding donghyuck on his lap, before making donghyuck look at him dead in the eye, "baby, we talked about this."

"i know, i still feel guilty." donghyuck looked down, grabbing the older's hands as he played with it. "it's just tha—"

the older cut him out by a pair of lips, not wanting to hear any word from the younger. "you talk too much."

donghyuck softly giggled, making the older soft. "my mom made something to eat, do you want it?"

"she went here? what'd she make?"

"me."

donghyuck had his eyes widened by the comeback and before he knew it, mark towered himself on top of donghyuck, "you feel that?" mark whispered, smirking. the tanned male gulped, before nodding, which he regretted. "you did that." the older dropped his lower body on top of the younger, before attacking his neck.

the younger lightly pushed the older off, "yeah, i don't know what you're talking about." donghyuck stood up, taking baby steps as he got out of the room.

"oh, c'mon baby. i see you want it too." the older look down at the younger's shorts, holding him by the wrists.

pulling him a little a harsh back on the bed, he locked the younger inside. "so you want it?" mark teased, wiggling his brows, but not expecting the reply.

"yeah, the food is kinda delicious!"
