taeyong was sitting at the end of the meeting room's table. him jaehyun, johnny, kun and mark were having a briefing about their last mission.

"so, exo are in jail." taeyong stated. "that's good news for us. it's no secret that they'll eventually escape, but at least, we have a bit of peaceful time."

jaehyun spoke after. "well, the thing is, they don't have a boss anymore."

"true. and this means one competitor less in the business world." johnny added.

"the thing is... what to do with his wealth?" taeyong inquired.

"hadn't he left any testament or anything like that?"

jaehyun chuckled. "he didn't think he would die this soon."

"and that leaves us with two problems." taeyong explained. "first, we need to find how he died. and second, where will all his wealth go?"

"don't you think his children should inherit of his wealth?" kun asked.

"and where do we find his pro- "

"his only son was donghyuck. remember?" kun cut his leader. "and for the cause of his death, i'll go to the morgue and-"

"no need." mark cut him. "donghyuck killed him."

all eyes focused on mark.

"donghyuck?" taeyong asked.

"yes. he shot him. in the head. sooman was strangling me, and donghyuck had a gun in his hand. he did what he thought was right."

johnny scratched his head. "why didn't you act, mark? you should have killed him instead of donghyuck."

"i was tied to a chair and he was trying to kill me. i couldn't do anything!" mark spat angrily.

"okay, okay, okay! everybody, please calm down." taeyong stood up. "what happebed happened and we can't do anything about it."

the room was silent for an instant.

"we finally know how he was killed, so that's okay, but for the legacy, we still have a problem." jaehyun spoke first.

"the police should have more information about it." johnny replied.

"okay, then, i'll talk to renjun in an instant. you can go guys." taeyong said before dismissing the boys.

"oh, mark! i forgot to tell you!" taeyong exclaimed when mark was about to go out. "we found donghyuck's file in the building. they had taken it from us, but now, it is in my office, if you're still interested in having a look." he winked.

mark hummed before leaving towards taeyong's office with a smile.

XXXXXXXXXX

it was half past three in the morning.

donghyuck was hungry.

he had discretely squirmed out of mark's embrace and left his room to find something to eat in the kitchen.

since they had come back to the house, donghyuck had been sleeping in mark's room. he was the one donghyuck was the most comfortable with, and renjun would rather sleep squished in between his two boyfriends than with his best friend, so, mark was the better option. not that donghyuck minded though. mark's embrace was by far the most comfortable, the fact that mark made his heart beat faster encouraged him to stay close to the boy.

donghyuck reached the kitchen without issues and started his food quest. he opened the drawers and the cupboards, taking a chair to see inside the highest cupboards if there weren't anything interesting. he hadn't found anything so far, meaning his last chance was the fridge. donghyuck approached the huge fridge of the house and opened it, feeling the freezing air against his bare legs. he inspected closely every shelf of it, determined to find something good to eat.

on his side, mark woke up feeling cold. when he opened his eyes, he was sad not to find donghyuck's petite body entangled with his. he looked at the clock of the room: 3:39am, way too early for him. but he wanted to find donghyuck.

mark got up to his feet, rearranging his sweatpants, scratching his bare chest that was itching and getting out of the room. he walked through the corridors in silence, looking for the younger, and smiled wide when he entered the kitchen.

donghyuck had his back facing mark. he was in front of the open fridge, speaking to himself. mark drooled when his eyes fell on donghyuck's bare thighs. the boy was sleeping with boxers and one of mark's shirts only, the piece of clothing looking like a short dress on him.

mark approached him silently, and sneaked his arms around donghyuck's waist, gluing his torso to donghyuck's back, making the younger jump.

"oh my...! you startled me!" he whisper-yelled.

mark chuckled, his mouth approaching dangerously donghyuck's ear. "you didn't wake me up?" he whispered voice low, sending shivers through donghyuck's spine.

"y-you seemed to be enjoying your sleep." donghyuk responded, grabbing a yoghurt and putting it back in the fridge directly after.

"i was comfortable with you between my arms..." mark whined as donghyuck closed the fridge and got out of mark's grasp.

"there's nothing to eat." donghyuck pouted, facing mark and leaning back on the counter next to the fridge.

mark took this opportunity to cage donghyuck between his arms and the kitchen counter, making it impossible for donghyuck to get out. mark's face was dangerously close to donghyuck's, to the point donghyuck could feel mark's hot breath on his face. the younger gulped, his heart going insane in his rib cage. mark was handsome. his face was a pure wonder, his hair was all messy making him look hot, and the fact that he was bare chested didn't help anything.

"so... i read your file this afternoon..." mark smirked, eyes fixed on the boy in between his arms. "is it true you've never been in a relationship?"

donghyuck nodded shyly, not even questioning the fact that they had a whole file on him with his private information.

mark's smirk grew even wider. "and would you like to... give it a try?"

donghyuck didn't wait one more second to pass his hands around mark's neck and to smash the gang member's lips against his. mark responded to the kiss immediately, wrapping his arms around donghyuck's waist. they detached after an instant but kept their faces inches apart.

"yes mark." donghyuck whispered, making mark smile and tighten the hold on his waist. "i really like you, and i want to be your boyfriend."

"donghyuck, you can't imagine how much i like you..." mark said before smashing their lips together again. this time, the kiss was more passionate, tongues involved and messily fighting for dominance. mark passed his hands under donghyuck's thighs to sit him on the counter. donghyuck let out a shriek when his skin came in contact with the cold counter, but this was long forgotten when mark's hands came caressing donghyuck's waist under his shirt, leaving no space between their bodies. 

when both boys were out of breath, they detached their lips, breathing heavily with their foreheads touching.

donghyuck was the first to move, hoping off of the counter and heading back towards mark's room.

"didn't you want to eat something?" mark asked dumbfounded.

"i'm not hungry anymore..." donghyuck turned around, smiling at his boyfriend. "blondie." he smirked before dashing towards the room, an angry mark on his heels.
