The rest of the night was quite peaceful. Donghyuck slept through till around half past eight. When he woke he was in his room by himself. He checked the time and was instantly confused. What day was it? Why hadn't the others woken him for practice?
After getting washed and dressed, Donghyuck made his way out of his room and down to the kitchen where all the other members were talking. He heard his name mentioned once or twice but was too tired to think anything of it. When he entered the room, no one noticed him. He stood on the spot for a good ten minuets before Mark noticed him standing there.
Mark turned to the boy and smiled, he gestured for Donghyuck to come sit in the empty seat next to him. Hyuck smiled and practically skipped over to the seat. Once he sat down, Taeil made him a hot chocolate with whipped cream and mini marshmallows with extra chocolate grated on the top.
Donghyuck loved Taeils home made hot chocolate. It was heavenly. As he sipped at his beverage, he slowly made his way into he convosation, makeing a small comment here and there. After talking for about half an hour Taeyong received a message from their managers saying that their only promotion for the day had been postponed to the next week, he informed the group that they had also said that they could have the day off as their next month was packed and there was near to no time that they would all be able to chill out.
The boys decided that they would take the day to go off and do their own thing. Johnny and Jungwoo were going to go and hang out with their boyfriends from wayv. Mark and Donghyuck were going to go hang out with the dreamies and the rest of the boys were going to go out on a trip together for the day.
As all the boys got ready to leave, Mark had completely forgotten what had happened the night before as Donghyuck was back to his cheery happy self.
The boys all left the dorm and went their separate ways. Mark and Hyuck made their way to the dreamies dorm. They walked most of the way in complete silence until Hyuck turned to Mark, a smile on his face. He reached out for Marks hand and squeezed it gently to get Marks attention.
Mark first looked at his hand then up at Donghyuck before shaking his hand from Donghyucks. Mark didn't feel comfortable doing this kind of thing in public but he just sort of shrugged it off.
"I just wanted to say thank you Mark. You really helped me last night. I don't think I would have been able to open up to Taeyong if you weren't there." Donghyuck looked up at Mark as he finished his sentence, a smile of apology and thankfulness on his face.
"no problem" Mark said, smiling in return.

When they reached the Dream dorm Donghyuck let them in as he had remembered his key this time.
The second they entered they were welcomed by dolphin laughter and a swarm of hugs. Mark and Donghyuck couldn't move but also couldn't help but laugh in return.
As the attacking boys stepped away from the two they all smiled.
"I feel like I haven't see you two in ages" one of the boys said releasing a high pitched laughter yet again.
"Chenle, I litteraly saw you three days ago. And apparently that was not enough time for my ears to fully heal from you squealing" Donghyuck giggled as he hugged the laughing boy a second time rubbing his ears pretending that they ached, and in all fairness they kind of did.
"still we haven't seen Mark since his graduation and that was almost three weeks ago" a slightly younger boy said from behind Chenle. He seemed upset by this.
"Yeah, I know Jisung, and I'm sorry about that, I wish I could see you guys more often, I've missed you all" Mark said, the smile almost completely disappearing from his face until the next boy spoke,
"well, we are always here if you need us Mark, we are not exactly busy at the moment are we" he boy giggled but looked a little upset at the same time,
"thanks Jeno" Mark said, the smile reappearing on his face a little,
A shorter boy moved out from behind Jeno, "anyway, we are so bored, you guys arrived just in time, we were about to start a new board game we got the other day" he said getting a little exited,
"we would love to play Rejun, if it's OK with all of you?" Donghyuck said a smile apreaing across his face too.
"Ofcorse we want you to play! Do you have any idea how boring it is here without you guys?! All we have is Netflix and Chenle's laugh to keep us entertained" the boy smiled as he received a punch in the arm from Chenle,
"thanks Jaemin" Mark said smiling at the two youngers.
The boys all moved around a coffee table placed in the center of the lounge and began to play the board game.
🕑
A few hours later they had finally finished the game. Jisung had been complaining that he was hungry since they had first started to play the game but Chenle told him that if he could hold out till they had finished he would by him ice cream. Although Jisung didn't eat, it didn't stop him from complaining the entire time.
The boys decided to head out to a restraunt in the nearby shopping center for lunch. They decided to to to a small start up pizza restraunt just inside the entrance.
The boys sat themselfs around a large table and ordered their food and continued to joke around. Chenle kept receiving punches in the arms from the other boys because he kept laughing too loud embarrassing the others but this only made him laugh more.
Once the food arrived they all became quiet whilst eating. It was quite funny from an outsiders perspective because the volume dropped from 110% to 10% as they were still descusing how amazing their food was.
Once they had all finished they decided to go grab ice cream since Chenle owed it to Jisung.
By the time they had all looked around the shops and they all had their ice cream, it was time for Mark and Donghyuck to head back to the 127 dorm.
As they walked out of the mall, Donghyuck kept glacing at Chenle and Jisung who were holding hands while walking. He tried to do this to Mark but he just shook his hand free. Instead he held Jenos hand who just smiled when Hyuck slid his hand into the others. For some reason this annoyed Mark. He himself didn't even know why, he didn't like Donghyuck like that and didn't like public shows of affection either so why did he feel so...
Jelous?
The boys walked like this till they reached the dream dorm where they all had a group hug before letting Donghyuck and Mark walk back to the 127 dorm.
Once they arrived, before they could go in, they had to wait for Lucas to give Jungwoo a goodbye kiss. After entering the room they found Ten and Johnny halfway through a make out session on the sofa, this was normal so they just ignored it. The two decided that they would get an early night tonight while they had the chance, considering it was still only nine. They made their way to their to their rooms and climbed into bed.
🕚
Several hours past but Donghyuck couldn't sleep. He wasn't sure why but his mind just wouldn't let him rest.
He got up and made his way to the lounge as quietly as possible to see if anyone was up.
No one. The room was empty. Instead Hyuck decided to head to the kitchen for a snack. Maybe he was hungry and that was why he couldn't sleep. He grabbed a banana to snack on. He also helped himself to a drink of milk. Donghyuck found that milk helped to relax him when he was tense so he hoped it would work. He finished off his banana and tossed the peel in the bin.
He started to head back to his room when he heard a noise but he wasn't sure where it came from. He slowly continued his way back to his room but then he heard an even louder 'BANG!' and then a groan. He realized it was coming fro Marks room. Donghyuck opened Marks door to find Mark in his pitch black room, sprawled across the floor and his ankle tangled up in a wire.
Donghyuck turned on the light then proceaded to assist Mark.
