"mark?"

"yes, baby?"

"what are we?"

this question had been flashing in donghyuck's mind for a few days.

their last party together was a week ago.

and since then, they had become even closer than before.

mark would always take him in his arms.

they would share cigarettes, food, drinks...

and what was the most disturbing for donghyuck was that they kept kissing each other.

all that without having a label to describe their relationship.

donghyuck didn't feel like mark was playing him.

in fact, he seemed to be sincere.

and even his friends had noticed it.

mark was the type of guy to reject anyone and everyone.

he was annoying when it came to criteria.

but it seemed like donghyuck fitted them all.

and perfectly.

"us?" mark asked, looking at the boy in his arms.

"yeah." donghyuck nodded.

"well... we're not friends. that's for sure. we're more than that..." mark said.

donghyuck hummed, waiting for mark to continue, but the boy didn't start talking again after that.

"i really like you." donghyuck broke the silence.

"me?" mark asked, as if he was surprised. "why?"

"i don't know. i just like your bad boy side, and the fact you're not scared of disrespecting rules. you're everything i fear to be. and i love it."

mark chuckled.

donghyuck was way too pure for him.

he was way too innocent.

but at the same time, mark just wanted to let himself fall and stain this perfect soul.

because mark had fallen for this boy.

oh...

his pretty face, his gorgeous body, his charming personality, and his potential to become as mark likes them...

"i like you too, baby." mark said.

"you do?"

"it is very difficult not to..." mark looked at the boy up and down. "you're perfect."

mark's words never missed to make donghyuck blush.

the boy played with his fingers, waiting for his cheeks to cool down and for the reddish colour to fade.

"does the term boyfriends fit you?" mark asked.

donghyuck's head jolted up, meeting mark's eyes immediately.

"b-boyfriends?" he asked shocked.

"i like you... you like me...we're happy... why not get together then... officially."

donghyuck nodded, a smile creeping up on his face.

"so, we're boyfriends?" he asked innocently.

"i guess we are, from now on..." mark answered, sealing their confession with a long and meaningful kiss.

☠

"donghyuck, sweetie?" donghyuck's mother called the boy who seemed to be in a daydream. "is everything alright?"

donghyuck thought for a second.

he had a boyfriend that loved him.

he had fun with his life.

he loved his boyfriend.

of course, everything was alright!

"yeah..." he said, playing with his ramen.

"you seem... distant." his father told.

"really?"

"yeah." donghyuck's mother nodded. "you have been for a few weeks actually."

dognhyuck shrugged.

sure, he changed.

sure, he did things he never thought he would do before.

but he was still donghyuck.

"i didn't notice it." he said.

"oh, it's nothing problematic. but you seem to spend more time outside and everything."

donghyuck lifted his head looking at his parents.

he had a reason for that.

and they could know.

"yeah, i wanted to spend time with my boyfriend."

"BOYFRIEND?!"

"yes." donghyuck smiled proudly. "my boyfriend."
