it was 10:30p.m. when donghyuck heard a knock on his window.

the teenager paused his drama, standing up from his bed to check who had been responsible of this knock.

he opened the blue curtain, a small smile making its way on his face when he saw the bad boy on the other side of the window.

mark was standing inside his garden, leaning against the window, with his usual smirk on.

donghyuck immediately opened the window.

"good evening, cutie." mark said. "are you ready to go?" he asked, showing the neighbour's house that was already very crowdy.

"b-but... my parents?" he asked.

"just tell them you're tired and that you want to go to sleep." mark said. "they'll let you sleep in peace, and this way, you'll go to the party next-door without them knowing."

donghyuck nodded, finding mark's idea quite clever.

"don't move, i'm coming back." dongyuck said.

"take your time cutie." mark flashed him a smile, making donghyuck flush before leaving his bedroom.

"i'm not sure this is a good idea, mark." a voice startled the boy who was standing on donghyuck's lawn.

"yuta, what is the problem now?" mark turned around.

"i don't... feel him." yuta said.

"you feel nobody except your boyfriend." mark rolled his eyes. "and he doesn't even tag along with you to parties."

"sicheng isn't from this world. just like donghyuck." yuta defended himself.

mark tsked, approaching his dealer.

"how many persons have i taken interest into?" mark asked.

yuta waited for a few seconds before answering.

"zero." he replied.

"exactly." mark nodded. "so, now that i found a rare pearl, someone that i have taken interest in... i won't let him go." mark growled.

yuta sighed, glancing behind mark at donghyuck who had just entered his bedroom again.

"whatever makes you sleep at night." yuta said. "but don't tell me i didn't warn you. shit is going to happen."

yuta did a head motion towards donghyuck's house, indirectly telling mark that the boy had returned, and then, he left the two boys on their own.

mark's lips immediately curved upwards when he saw donghyuck leaning on the ledge of the window.

"mark?"

"yes, cutie?"

"what do i wear?" donghyuck asked.

mark hummed, thinking for a few seconds. "what you have on is already perfect."

donghyuck looked at his reflexion in the mirror, taking in his looks.

he was wearing tight shorts that allowed his tan thighs to be on display, paired with an oversized black long-sleeved shirt that showed his collarbones.

"are you sure?" donghyuck asked, turning around and flushing when he realised that mark had been looking at his butt.

"completely sure." mark nodded. "now come, we're going to miss all the fun."

☠

donghyuck felt strange.

he had been partying for a bit more than an hour, and he already felt weird.

the party seemed fun when he had set his feet in.

people dancing, laughing, drinking, playing...

they seemed to care about nothing, and odnghyuck respected that.

mark had brought him to the kitchen where he had offered him a drink.

he had asked what donghyuck wanted to drink, but donghyuck didn't know shit about drinks.

so, he had asked mark to drink the same thing as him.

and damn, it was strong.

after an hour of moving around, dancing with mark and drinking a lot, donghyuck felt weird.

he was completely crazy, surely because the alcohol had started to kick in, making him do things he never thought he could have done without this help.

mark was dragging donghyuck around, making sure not to leave him alone anywhere.

he even introduced him to a few of his friends, but donghyuck wasn't sober enough to understand anything.

"bottle game!!!" someone yelled, pushing the people around so that they could sit in a circle, using an empty bottle of vodka to play.

a few people did so while the rest of them kept dancing and getting even more drunk.

mark and donghyuck sat in the circle next to mark's other friends.

donghyuck clapped loudly while giggling as he watched a few people exchanging kisses because they had been designated by the bottle.

"he seems to like parties." johnny told mark, pointing at donghyuck who was drunkenly cooing at two girls sharing a kiss.

"yeah." mark nodded, his hand running over the brunette's back. "i'm glad."

"oh! mark!" someone yelled, catching his attention.

mark smirked, seeing the bottle was pointing in his direction.

he leaned forwards, grabbing the bottle and making it spin to know who he was going to kiss.

the bottle span for a few seconds before slowing down, and landing on a male whose heart started beating erratically.

"dong- "

before mark could even tell donghyuck anything, the younger had jumped onto the bad boy, wrapping his arms around his neck, and gluing his mouth to the other's.

mark voluntarily responded to the kiss, pulling donghyuck's body closer as he moved his lips hungrily against donghyuck's.

the whole room cheered as the kiss soon became a make out session.

blame it on the alcohol.

donghyuck had no idea of what he was doing.

but he knew that he was addicted to this.

and this would never change.
