"donghyuck! you're rich!" renjun exclaimed when his best friend passed the living room's door, startling some of the gang members that were having their breakfast in the room.

donghyuck rubbed his eyes, still sleepy. "what the hell are you saying?" he mumbled.

renjun jumped off jeno's lap and ran to donghyuck, agitating a newspaper in front of his face.

"it's in today's news! look!" renjun threw the newspaper at his best friend's face.

donghyuck grabbed it groggily and read what was written. "after the sudden death of lee sooman, one of the major enterprises of the country lost their head. hopefully, his wealth is inherited by his only son, lee donghyuck, 18 years old. this boy became as well, starting today, the head of 'lee business', making him the youngest ceo of the country."

"see? you're rich donghyuck!" renjun exclaimed.

donghyuck inspected the article, reading and rereading it plenty of times, watching the attached pictures of the building as well as pictures of him.

was everything a joke? donghyuck wasn't able to run a business, he was only a student.

"b-but, i can't do it." donghyuck stated, eyes glued to the paper in his hands.

taeyong put a hand on his shoulder. "don't worry donghyuck. that's just what the news announces. and between what they announce and what really happens, there is a huge world. the business is under your name, but you can always ask someone else to run it for you."

donghyuck nodded. "who's going to run it then?"

"it's your choice. your property, your wealth."

donghyuck thought for an instant.

"hey, don't worry, you don't need to answer right away, you still have time." taeyong reassured him. "now come and have breakfast. don't could your mind with this."

donghyuck listened to taeyong, throwing the newspaper back at renjun with a smug smile, and sitting between yuta and kun to have breakfast.

he ate what he found on the table, laughing at the stupid faces lucas was making and talking with the different members that were around him.

"woah, looks like someone didn't have a good sleep..." jaehyun chuckled, sipping on his coffee.

donghyuck turned towards the door, noticing mark with messy hair and a big frown on his face. when the gang member saw donghyuck, he immediately walked towards him, pulling the chair he was sitting on. donghyuck stood up and watched mark sitting at his place before pulling him on his lap, arms around his waist.

a chorus of 'ooh' erupted in the room as mark kissed donghyuck's jaw.

"what happened to the cold and heartless mark?" doyoung made the whole table laugh exept mark.

"looks like someone changed him." yuta poked donghyuck's side, making him squirm on mark's lap. mark immediately hit yuta's hand, making the older wince.

"possessive, i see..." taeyong smirked.

mark's grip on donghyuck's waist tightened. "nobody touches what's mine." mark sternly said.

"i see nothing telling that donghyuck is yours." yuta stated.

mark bit donghyuck's neck, making the boy jump and let out a cry of surprise. mark pulled out his head, admiring the slight bruise he had caused on his boyfriend's neck.

"see? mine. nobody touches." mark kissed the hickey that had just formed.

all the members around the table had their mouth agape.

"that was..." jaehyun searched a word to describe what just happened.

"wild." johnny finished.

"yeah, wild."

XXXXXXXXXX

"i see the boy changed you."

mark was sitting on the roof, watching the dreamies, renjun and his boyfriend play with water guns in the garden. he had been there alone for a long time, but taeyong just had joined him.

"he changed us all." mark replied to his leader.

"indeed, he did. but you're the one who changed the most."

mark chuckled. "you think so?"

taeyong smiled. "i had never seen you smile. never since i met you. you've always been frowning, dull and distant. but, since donghyuck came into our lives, you've been opening more, and smiling."

"that's not a good thing." mark stated. "he makes me weak. you said it yourself."

"no, he doesn't mark. i said that because didn't want you to come and see him being taken away from us. this boy has become one of your strengths. it's only thanks to the strong bond that link you both that you are still alive. you could do anything to save that boy. you're willing to risk your life. that's being strong mark."

mark kept his eyes glued on his boyfriend, all wet and laughing with his friends. he was truly precious.

"i remember you told me we were supposed to watch him from afar, without interacting with him." mark chuckled.

"well, we didn't really stick to the plan, but in the end, it was probably better for us."

"of course, it was better."

taeyong broke the comfortable silence that had taken place after one or two minutes.

"you stopped smoking?"

mark shook his head. "i still do, but much less. donghyuck says it's bad for my health."

taeyong frowned. "i told you that billions of times, and you never reduced your consummation."

"nicotine and i form a complex love story."

"mark! come here!" donghyuck happily yelled from the garden, waving at mark.

"i'm coming baby." mark responded making donghyuck flush beet red.

"seems like you listen to him more than you listen to me. next time i'll ask donghyuck to tell you to tidy your room, problem child."

mark scoffed. "in your dreams." he said before jumping off the room and approaching donghyuck who was waiting for him, a water gun his behind his back.

"i killed you, blondie!" donghyuck exclaimed once he had soaked mark's shirt with the gun.

"don't call me BLONDIE!" mark screamed running behind a giggling donghyuck.

"teen love..." taeyong sighed looking at them from the roof.
