the others had already headed downstairs. donghyuck has taken his time in the shower and doing his skincare routine. he liked his face being extra soft. he was feeling in a soft mood today. opting to spend his day in the cute duck onesie he had found online. as he gave himself a once over in the mirror the door opened. mark stopped and looked him up and down. donghyuck flushed a little. it had gotten more difficult to hide his crush on the older. mark smiled at him, 'embracing the nickname duckie huh?' donghyuck let out a whine and turned pouting, 'if you're going to tease me i'm changing.'

mark moved fast, arms encasing him, 'absolutely not. you look cute hyuckie.' donghyuck swatted him away hoping his dumb best friend wouldn't notice the blush that had crept up his cheeks. but of course, mark was perceptive without meaning to. he leaned closer, 'you're cheeks are all pink haechan-ah.' donghyuck frowned pretending to be upset in true donghyuck form, 'are we going by stage names now, canada?' mark shrugged, 'only because it suits you, now come on sunshine, the others are waiting.' mark grabbed him by the hand pulling him closer. donghyuck looked up at him eyes wide. mark gave a smirk before pulling him out their room. maybe the younger had pressed himself closer and maybe he had squeezed his hand tighter, but no one would be able to prove it.
