donghyuck was woken up because the person next him on the bed had moved.

his eyes fluttered open, meeting mark's brown orbs first thing in the morning.

"hello, baby." mark whispered, pulling the boy close to kiss his lips fully.

"hello..." donghyuck replied, voluntarily cuddling into the other's embrace.

"how are you feeling?"

"perfect..."

"that's good." mark smiled. "stay here, i'll grab you some painkillers and something to drink."

mark stood up from the bed, allowing the younger boy to see his naked body, making him flush deep red.

images of the night before flashed into his mind as he recalled how good mark had taken him, and how emotional their night had been.

he didn't regret it one bit.

he was happy to have given mark his firsts, actually.

his first kiss, his first smoke, his first party, his first sex...

donghyuck truly loved the older boy.

he loved the way mark had made him.

he loved the way mark had changed him.

"here, baby." mark said, cutting donghyuck's daydream.

he was holding out a glass of water and a white simple pill, and unlike a few minutes before, he had put on a pair of shorts, still allowing donghyuck to admire his toned chest.

"is this LSD?" donghyuck asked, staring at the pill that looked awfully like the ones he had consumed at parties the days before.

"no, baby." mark chuckled. "it's a painkiller."

"what for?" donghyuck raised a brow.

"your body is surely feeling sore. it's always like that after your first time."

mark helped donghyuck sitting up, and the younger boy understood immediately what mark meant by 'sore'.

his lower back hurt like hell, and he had a small migraine because of the hangover.

donghyuck gulped down the liquid, losing the pill in his mouth and swallowing it with the cold water quickly.

mark smiled at his cute boyfriend, caressing his back as he placed the empty glass of water on the bedside table.

"how about we take a shower?" mark asked.

donghyuck's eyes formed two little crescents as he nodded energetically.

he had fallen asleep completely exhausted the night before, and so, he hadn't had time to take a shower or clean his body.

this surely explained why both mark and donghyuck reeked of sex, as well as the bedroom they were currently in.

"let's go." mark said, lifting donghyuck up to carry him bridal style to the bathroom.

donghyuck flushed when his bare body was pulled out from under the covers, and was on full-display for mark to stare at.

he didn't really know why he felt this shy at the idea of mark seeing his naked body, since they had had many rounds the night before, in different positions, and so, mark had had time to examinate fully his body from every angle.

but this wasn't the same.

here, there was no sexual tension.

it was just a domestic scene, not sex involved.

that's surely why donghyuck felt shy.

"thank you." donghyuck smiled when mark placed him onto the toilet lid so that he could open the water.

donghyuck's eyes widened when he saw mark taking off his shorts, making him bare again.

"m-mark..." donghyuck flushed, looking away. "what are you doing?"

mark chuckled at his boyfriend's shyness. "we're having a shower, baby."

"we?!" donghyuck exclaimed.

"yes, we." mark nodded. "and stop hiding your body. you're so beautiful."

donghyuck listened to his boyfriend, uncrossing his arms and legs to allow the older to see his body.

mark then picked donghyuck up again and brought both of them inside the shower, under the warm water.

☠

donghyuck was peacefully walking back to his house.

he had convinced mark that he could go back on his own.

and mark hadn't argued much.

so, here was donghyuck, on his way back home, kicking pebbles on the pavement.

a cigarette was lit and half-consumed between his fingers, and he often took drags out of it as he thought about mark.

it seemed like it was the only thing on his mind at the moment. mark.

donghyuck had fallen so deep for him.

he didn't even understand how it was possible.

how could such a pure and innocent soul fall for a bad boy?

donghyuck had a small idea.

he was tired of being the good kid.

he was tired of being the top student.

he was tired of respecting the rules.

mark was the hint of outlaw that donghyuck needed in his life.

mark's persona was exactly what donghyuck feared to be.

but in fact, now that donghyuck knew what it was like, he had been seduced.

and so, he had changed.

donghyuck's attention was caught the moment he was about to place the cigarette between his lips.

a black car had abruptly stopped next to him, its front window rolling down to reveal a red-faced woman.

"lee donghyuck, what is that?!"
