MARK : TELEPATHY

<< ll >>

this is hopefully mark’s intro to a nct dream superhero au i am writing !

we’ll see how it goes tho :0

side note: my inbox is always open so please send in asks and requests :]

the first time he noticed it happened, he was attempting to cook

“holy shit, this boy can’t even cook eggs.” jungwoo cackled, watching from afar

“hyungggg, you don’t have to be so rude,” pouting, mark dropped his chopsticks and gave jungwoo a glare

“uh, i didn’t say anything mark???”

what

he has clearly heard jungwoo insult his poor goddamn eggs that looked burnt and crispy right now.

“you literally just insulted my eggs hyung, don’t act innocent.”

“mark, i really didn’t say anything,” shyly, jungwoo scratched his nape, something he would only do if he was telling the truth.

huh, that was weird

the next time it happened, he was sat with the one and only gremlin hyuck in maths class

“fuck, i really should pay attention in maths class more but he’s so h o t” haechan sighed

mark didn’t know if he was more shocked that donghyuck was calling a guy hot or the fact that he said it so loudly in f r o n t of the teacher

“dude, you like guys?” mark gaped while watching hyuck’s cheeks turn a light shade of red

“bro, what? i didn’t even say anything? i told you not to eat the entire edible man-“

“SHUT UP-“

“mark, haechan, do you want me to separate the two of you?” mr doyoung seethed. he was quite a sweetheart but talk in his class and you’ll get a big fat f on your end of year report

“no sir, sorry sir,”

and after that, it became a regular occurrence.

he could hear things people didn’t even say out loud

what was going on?

then, it hit him.

“chenle-“

“WHAT THE FUCK DUDE WHEN DID YOU COME HOME-“

“that’s not important >:(( think of something right now.”

“first you don’t buy me bubble tea then you order me around, he thinks he’s so much better than me because he’s older.”

mark didn’t see chenle’s lips moving but he could still h e a r chenle’s voice

“did you just think about me not buying you bubble tea and thinking too highly of myself because i’m older.” mark said, face straight and arm resting on the younger’s shoulder

chenle’s face contoured in horror as he sprang to his feet

“HOLY SHIT ARE YOU A MIND READER????”

“i guess, i don’t know how this even works,”

“WHAT AM I THINKING OF RIGHT NOW??”

“you’re thinking about making out with jisung, ew,” mark fake gagged.

“he’s cute you’re just jealous he friend zoned you!”

mark rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue.

LILY’s RELTIONSHIPS WITH THE DREAMIES

MARKLY:

so their ship name is just his full name LMAO

they love it

so yknow how dream clowns mark?

obviously she does too

but she’s more gentle and has a TON of respect for mark

“minhyung oppa is extremely hardworking ... he’s always working to be his absolute best and he is so kind and down to earth”

they’re actually a really soft duo

because like. mark is truly her big brother

he cares for her a lot and helped her so much during her debut

he helps her practice her dancing (even after he left dream)

because she trusts him a lot and he know the exact way to help her

but yeah she still clowns him

calls him old man all of the time

but she was full on SOBBING at their last concert with mark

like she had to move her mic because it was so bad

mark isn’t too big on the pda but when they’re together he always lets his baby sister give him so many hugs

when sm told them that mark was coming back and they were a fixed unit ... god she cried a lot then too

she was so happy

“lily is actually so sweet guys. like, she’s so genuine. she cares a lot for all of us and she’s also so intelligent? she’s always reading” - mark when asked about her on vlive

he’s trying to teach her guitar but the only instrument she formally knows is violin

her skill with the bass is self taught and she doesn’t know actual notes so she applies that to guitar and mark is trying to ACTUALLY teach her

mark also understands her well because they were both raised in the west

she expresses herself better in english and mark is always there to understand and listen

they’re just actual siblings and love each other so much

LILJUN:

firstly

lily makes renjun look a lot taller

she doesn’t ever make fun of his height and gets mad at the other dreamies when they do

she clowns his voice crack tho HAH

lowkey the savage duo

lily is more secretly savage though

renjun is the one allowed in her room the most

he works on his art and she reads or writes or practices violin

they have a lot of quiet moments

but they also get silly together

so lily doesn’t think about the universe deeply because she lowkey thinks it’s a waste of her time

like .. she’ll never know and she’s fine with that so why dwell on it

HOWEVER she really believes in aliens and she and renjun legit have sat for hours looking online ab alien shit

they’re also both so smart

and she’s always talking about how much she admires renjun’s brain

stans his vocal talent. like. she’s loud about it

fans love this duo a lot nd they have a lot of romantic shippers

even tho .. they have never liked each other that way LMAO

at the airport she links arms with him a lot and they look like they’re gossiping hhhhh

when the dreamies are being too much they just look at each other and fans love that shit

also they’re both arguably the scariest members

renjun because... duh y’all know him

but lily doesn’t get annoyed often. when she does... there’s hell to pay and she has a good punch

“renjun oppa is so good at korean! i’m actually korean and he speaks it better than i do!”

“that’s because i’m smarter than you”

“do you want to die?”

basically just a really close pair! they’re always there for each other 🥺

JENLY:

she openly says that jeno is the cutest member

“he’s the most adorable person ever! his eyesmile is too cute”

the way she laughed when jeno ripped his shirt off-

she clowned him for DAYS

every time she was wearing a jacket or cardigan she ripped it off and mocked him

also whenever she’s drinking something around him she recreates his milk cf

also!!! she thinks jeno is so funny

she loves him and his humor

she and jeno have a really really deep bond.

he saw her journal (refer to my post about her room) and he’ll take what he read to the grave

he checks in on her a lot because he knows when she’s hurting

when they were trainees she was struck by how kind he was to her

and they were stuck together ever since

lily hasn’t ever been mad at him ONCE

they’re arguably the softest duo

they have a lot of romantic shippers too but

again

it’s a no

she’s a big nomin shipper too like unironically she thinks there’s something there

she always hypes his vocals!! he doesn’t get to sing enough >:(

he’s also her biggest cheerleader and when she cries and gets upset about her dancing he always pulls her aside and consoles her 🥺

he helps her with writing songs too!

wholesome beautiful friendship

they go out to eat a lot

jeno also helps her paint her nails LMAO

and they ride bikes together a lot

can’t commit to working out with him though because it’s way too much for her to do all that

lily also bakes a lot. and jeno appreciates that. a LOT

they’re best friends. she even bought them stupid girly heart bracelets that connect together LMAO

JIHYUCK:

so much affection!!!!

she is such a hyuck stan

“haechannie is my bias!!”

always calls him fullsun (in english)

number one hyuck skin enthusiast!! she thinks he’s gorgeous and glows brighter than all of them

also she loves his singing and thinks his vocal tone is so unique

always laughs at his jokes and finds him hilarious

he doesn’t prank her as much as the others because he’s actually so sweet to her

he’s used to having a younger sister and thinks of lily as his little sister

they constantly text and facetime a lot since they live in different dorms

she’s lowkey whipped for him and he’s whipped for her

not in a romantic way tho!

another member who always eats her baking

they learn girl group dances together

now we all know damn well that hyuck is the sweetest boy and so full of love

but we also know he annoys the shit out of the members

jimin is NO exception

he pokes fun at her and mocks her all the time

so she slaps him in the back of the head LMAOO

when does she actually get mad tho? when he shows up at the dorms and enters her room without permission

cue her chasing him around the dorms with murder in her eyes

yknow the vine where it’s like

“let me see what you have?”

“a KNIFE”

“NO”

that’s the other guys making sure hyuck doesn’t get brutally murdered

because lily can pack a punch

all in all though, they’re a great duo and they’re always so proud of each other

JAEJIMIN:

okay jaemin babies the FUCK outta her

he always takes care of her and talks to her about her concerns and vice versa

he was so happy for her when she debuted and was sad he couldn’t be there for it

she visited him all the time when he was gone

and she was heartbroken that he wasn’t with dream

she is a BIG 8dream stan because they are a family

but yeah fans can’t even ship them romantically because they know lily is his lil baby

she helps him with his english

and he always compliments her singing and dancing

proud of her songwriting

so much affection

even tho she hates when he pinches her cheeks n calls her cute

when he came back during go she was overjoyed

“go is our special era! we were all reunited~~”

he always wanted a sister and now he has one <3

she drinks a lot of coffee but not as much as him and was so worried about his health

they’re the biggest flirts w czennies

you’ll always find them with their arms linked in the airport

and everywhere really

during empathy era she was always hugging jaemin’s side

they also do a lot of lives together!!

such cute bffs

she is a big nomin stan like i said

name twins and they always tell everyone that they’re actual siblings

jaemin’s mom is so fond of her and treats her like her own daughter

HE REALLY TRIES TO GIVE HER FASHION ADVICE AND GIVE INPUT ON HOW HER HAIR SHOULD LOOK FOR COMEBACKS

they’re really true siblings and best friends 🥺

LILLE:

THESE MFS ARE BEST FRIENDS

01’ liners and so similar in ages but he ALWAYS brings up that he’s older

they compete over a lot

literally everything is a competition

she’s at her most childish with him

they also make lots of bets and she usually wins

clowns him for those predebut pics LOL

SHE ALWAYS SEND THEM IN THE GC AND EVEN POSTS THEM ON BUBBLE N SHIT HAHA

they can be really soft but will never admit it even if they are caught on camera

they’re pretty calm if they’re cooking together

he is Banned™️ from her room and she won’t budge at all

“chenle isn’t allowed in my room because he will disturb my peace”

remember on that one ep of weekly idol where chenle was SCREAMING while they did aegyo

yeah it’s louder when lily does aegyo

u didn’t hear it from me but her aegyo is SO cute it’s not as cringey as the others

but chenle hates it because she’s cute and he wants to clown her but he CANT

really proud of each other. super proud of each other

chenle has sat with her as she’s cried a lot. and comforted her. and it always stays between them.

she’s always there for him too

a LOT of fans have suspected that there’s something there

his mom loves her so much!!!!!

when she and jisung went to his house they were BAFFLED and impressed

“something bothers me a lot. one day, chenle woke up and looked grown up. he used to have chubby cheeks and looked like a kid and now he looks like an adult and has such defined cheekbones. it’s so strange”

when they became adults they got SHITFACED DRUNK

they definitely don’t say it a lot and when they do it’s in private (even tho everyone knows)

but they really love each other 🥺

LILJI:

jisung and lily is

p o p u l a r

with fans

because fans put together the pieces that jisung had a crush on lily during debut

lily thought it was sweet because jisung was always so cute and young

she saw him as a little kid

they used to not have MANY interactions

she always laughs when jisung is bein funny

and is in AWE of his dancing

he always assures her when she gets upset about her dancing

lilchenji is an ICONIC friendship

they watch a lot of movies together

she’s been on chenjis this and that a few times

remember that live when nomin got all in each other’s faces while chenji just froze and looked at them and then looked at the camera and looked real shocked

she was there and the three of them were like 😶

so yeah when jisung started getting really tall lily was real confused

and then somehow

during go and we go up

jisung started looking different. like. more grown up

and he had more confidence and talked to her more

and lily was like 😳😳

but spoilers so i won’t go too deep into that

they’re really good friends these days tho

the fans LOVE THEM it’s such a popular ship

at the dream shows when they sing bye my first

the song that lily famously LOVES

yknow that one line jisung has where the music goes quiet and he goes

“na geuttaeneun cham eoryeosseo”

blessed line it was beautiful

anyway at the dream show jisung would hold the mic to lily and have her sing the line or they’d duet it

and their eye contact!!!! and lily’s SMILE IS SO BRIGHT

stars in their eyes

um anyway!! they’re great friends nd very shippable for. reasons!

author’s note! i’m also a ‘01 liner! so don’t think it’s weird if i’m writing a jisung romance LMAO or who knows if it’ll be jisung? 👀👀

Word Count: 2.2k

Warnings: (bold if in use) slow but with a purpose, belief contradictions, mentions of r*pe, blood, swearing, violence, mentions of abuse

Pairings: Lee Donghyuck (Haechan) x Reader (F)

X OF CUPS IN REVERSE: shattered dream, broken family, bad relationships

Cosimia’s eyes fluttered opened once again. She was not looking up at the gray sky they had this morning but rather the ceiling in her trailer. She was in bed, surrounded by softness... Maybe it was just a nightmare, she thought to herself... but that’s exactly why she hung the dream catcher up so long ago... Nonetheless, she still found comfort on Donghyuck’s side of the bed. She could still smell his cologne in the sheet that made her heart swell for some reason.

It took her a few moments to open her eyes again as she was basking in the sheets. Her hands were the first thing she saw, they were clean. The images of her hands covered in blood and the knife flashed into place. She shook as she sat up, just looking at her hands in terror. She swear she could still feel it but she wasn’t sure if she had just imagined it or it was real... She felt like passing out at the thought.

It wasn’t long before a girl walked in after. Her name was Irene, one of eldest, kind of a nurse and also a dancer in the shows who was like an older sisters to most of the girls there. She was there to take care of Cosimia in the meantime.

“Oh my god, you’re up!” The eldest exclaimed. “Lay back down.”

Irene rushes out of the bedroom to get a glass of water and a wet towel for the girl. She came back and put the cup down on Cosimia’s night stand before she put the cool towel on the other’s forehead. She smiled, sweetly, before she sat down on the bed with her.

“What happened?” The young girl was quick to ask which seem to make the other girl’s expression drop.

“Well...” She started.

“Don’t sugarcoat it.” She sighed

“You fainted after you stabbed Ten... I only know that because Johnny always set up cameras! He had to turn it into the police though. And Ten’s okay, too, just in a bit of pain and out of the job now...”

“How about Haechan? And what about me? How am I not in custody?”

“Calm down, we don’t need your blood pressure going up! We’ve had enough people from here go to the hospital today! Haechan was stable according the last update I got on him and Cosimia, you were passed out... The police couldn’t question you even if they wanted. They’ll get a statement later but it was clear from the video it was self dense. He did have a gun point to your head.”

“I put it there, though.”

“It was still self dense in the end because he wasn’t backing away or anything.”

She let out a deep breath before laying back, rather relaxed compared to moments ago. She didn’t think it was out of self dense, she didn’t feel that way anyway. The more times she played what had happened over and over again it just felt like anger was building up... She wandered about Donghyuck... He was okay but how long ago was that? She just wanted to see him so badly.

”Irene, can you please take me to the hospital?” The young girl begged. “Please, I just want to see Haechan.”

“Oh, no, don’t cry! I hate seeing you cry!” She pouted. “I can’t! You need to rest and Johnny thought so too.”

Though, the young girl continued to cry. Not in the hopes of getting her way (even though she also wanted that) but because of what she had seen before the chaos had even started. The most recent memory of Donghyuck she had was one that was traumatizing to her despite not being physically there for it.

Irene just frowned, unsure of what to do as unneeded guilt washed over her. Luckily for her, Johnny did text her, telling her whenever Cosimia was up and ready to bring her down to hospital, that he needed to talk to her. The eldest was too relieved that an escape come so quickly she didn’t notice how odd it seemed. She was just too happy to pull the other out of bed and have the crying stop.

The girl seemed to get antsy the closer they got to the hopsital. In fact, when they had arrived and gotten on the elevator to take them up to the floor Donghyuck and Johnny were on, she was itching to get out. She felt like it was taking forever and every second she was just wasting. When the elevator dinged to signal the doors were going to open she raced out of there, leaving the older behind. She was more concerned with finding the room number that she searched frantically for.

And then she finally got to the hall of numbers in the 400’s, knowing he was in the room 444. Her seemed to speed up as she passed room 440 and right as she got to the number she had been waiting for, someone came out. It was Johnny, which ruined her hope of Donghyuck being awake in the first place. Her boss noticed her right away but she didn’t seem to care as she pushed past him.

She tiptoed to look in the small window of the door. She saw the boy on the bed, hooked up to multiple machines. He was so still and in all honesty, it made her want to start crying again. He was always so lively, to see him so still was unlike him and she hated it. At least he was still alive, that much she was thankful for...

“Cosimia! Have you even been listening to me?!” Johnny asked, finally capturing her attention. “I said we need to talk.”

“What?” She started to panic and it was obvious in her voice. “Is Haechan okay?!”

“Yes, he’s fine!” He sighed. “Lucky too... If he hadn’t been for that crystal he always wore he would probably be dead or at least worst. He’s in a coma right now, though and he’s going to wake up but the doctors don’t know when.”

“Then what do we need to talk about?”

“When were you going to tell me you both were pronounced dead months ago? Do you know how hard it was to get the cops off your trail?! Who the fuck is Peter Lee and Josphine Vasquez anyway?!”

She was left shocked by what her boss had said. She also knew it was only a matter of time before he found out but she hoped it wouldn’t be at a time as bad as this...

“I can explain.” She said.

“Well, go on!” Johnny commanded. “I’d love to hear it.”

“The summary of it?” She hesitated. “Haechan and I faked our death so our parents would think we were dead and not try to come after us. I got fake IDs for us so no one would suspect anything.”

“Oh my god, this isn’t some movie, Cosimia!” He gritted. “You have families that have mourned over you and wondered what they’ve done wrong for you to both end up ‘dead’ when you were with me the entire time! I can’t believe this.”

“Johnny, you don’t understand!” She whined. “We did it for a reason! And what about Jisung, Iaan, Olivia and Kai? What about them? They’re all our age and they’re with you.”

“You’re not ophrans like them and what was the reason? So you could have your little romance cliche?”

“We weren’t even into each other at that time! And he’s eighteen, he can do whatever he wants!”

“Fine, then you’re going to be going back by yourself.”

“You don’t understand! When are you going to get that?! I’m not leaving Haechan’s side either! And I’m not exaggerating when I say I rather die than go back! I will kill myself before I ever go through that again!”

The hall got quiet after the screaming match that had the small girl in tears. She shook so visibly as she cried into her hands. Her back had made it to the door of the room before she slid down it, only to sob on the floor. It made the boy feel so... guilty and bad. He might of scared her too which made him feel worse. He’d admit, he had somewhat of soft spot for the girl... She was like a little sister he never had, but he’d never admit that part.

“What don’t I understand?” He asked, softly, sitting down to her.

“Huh?” She cracked as she lifted her head up.

“What don’t I understand,” He repeated. “Maybe, if you told me, I would and I would let it stay too... I’ll figure out the police if I have to.”

“I wanted Haechan to be the first person I told...”

“I’m sorry... but if you want to have the possibility to stay, you’re going to have to tell me.”

“Can we at least go in the room?”

He nodded before helping the girl off the floor. He, then opened the door, allowing her to go first and soon following after her in the room. She seemed to rush over to the bed as he closed the door. He didn’t really expect much else as he come to sit in the chairs across from the bed. He watched as she brushed a few strands of the boy’s hair out of his face as it was getting long. Her smile as she did so was bitter sweet... He looked peaceful, too peaceful. She finally sat down next to Johnny but he couldn’t help but noticed the way she kept looking at the boy who lied in the bed so still.

“You know,” He started. “Doctors say sometimes people can hear people talk from inside their coma. So, maybe in a way, Haechan will be the first person you told, beside me, of course.”

She hummed with a nod.

“Are you ready, though?” He asked, just to be positive as it seemed pretty heavy.

“It doesn’t really matter if I am ready or not, in this case... I have to tell you or you’ll send me back...”

She had sudden realized in that moment, everything was cloudy and blurry in her mind. She couldn’t see what was to come like she usually was able too... She didn’t know what was next for her after telling Johnny or anything. Her gut told her that she’d be fine in the end. The one thing she did know was to always trust that feeling.

“I don’t know where to begin...” She confessed.

“Take your time.” He said.

She felt the overwhelming sense of being dirty, once she had felt to often beforehand that she could never truly shake. She squeezed her eyes shut and her throat felt like it was lined with wire as she tried to hold everything in. She found a past to start, intuitively. She felt like she was living the whole thing over again but this time it really dragged. She knew that’s how it felt at first and that’s how’d she would feel but god, it was the worse pain on top of what was already going on.

She was surprised to see the tall guy in front of her also tearing up a bit at the end of it. She guessed he really didn’t understand it... Not with the way she cared herself especially around him. She took his hand, letting him know it was okay... To which, he had gently brought her into a hug. He whispered something about not letting her back and that’s when she knew she was finally safe.

She really broke after that, gripping onto the boy’s sweater rather tightly as she wailed into the fabric. It only slightly muffled it but he could only imagine how long she had been holding that in. Of course she needed to scream and of course she was exhausted by the end of it. She tried to find air again after, but only found herself lightheaded.

It prompt the boy to get her water after because it was apparent she needed it. He only left when he saw her crawl into the space next to Donghyuck. Laying there, she noticed the silver was fading to platinum as the strands got longer. She sniffed to herself as she stared at him. She was hoping he’d wake up soon, so they could talk again. For now, she found some comfort in mumbling things, no matter how serious or ridiculous they were to him in his unconscious state.

She fell asleep like that next to him. Her arm draped across his bare waist, quite a ways away from the bullet wound covered in gauze. The doctors and nurses seemed quite broken by the scene once visiting hours were up. They didn’t want to separate them but Lucas and Jaemin had shown up to take her back to the trailer which now seemed like her permanent home.

She had woken up, in the car which a jacket draped of her. She recognized the scent was Lucas’ and could see him driving too. She was half awake so she just shut her eyes again but oh, how she wanted too sleep next to her friend so badly like every other night...

[solcheeky]

oh my God i would love to see you write something for donghyuck where he prepares a gift for his s/o's birthday then tries to do EVERYTHING in his power for her not to find it before the day comes!! also a flustered!donghyuck at the end would be so cute but u dont have to c:

the moment you burst through the kitchen door in surprise, donghyuck immediately shoves whatever was on the plate in front of mark right into the his mouth

and without fail, mark thoroughly chokes under donghyucks palm, loudly shoving his chair backwards and clamping a hand over the kids wrist in attempt to stop the force feeding

as a result of rushing to stand over marks right side, donghyuck almost topples over when the side-post of marks chair pushes into his hip

you look between the tears forming in marks eyes and the tense smile strung across donghyucks face

“is everything.. okay?” 

“yeah!” donghyuck says a little too loud. “right mark?” he slaps marks back harshly

the teary-eyed boy muffles an unconvincing ‘yes’ before throwing a shaky thumbs up in your direction

its only then you notice the apron donghyuck is sporting and the mess of the kitchen he’s made, making you momentarily forget about marks stuffed face

“you’re cooking again?!” you rush forward to see what he’s made, “it’s been so long! oh my god I missed your cooking-”

“ah-” he intercepts your beeline to the table, quickly stepping around while throwing his apron off, and slipping a warm arm around your waist. “no I- mark hyung ate it all.”

you try to peak over his shoulder but the hand on your body squeezes at your waist and his other pulls at your chin so your line of vision is blocked by his head

“what are you doing?” you frown

he blinks at you, “I missed you.”

then he presses his lips onto your mouth and you have to refrain from stepping back at how weirdly off that felt

“well, I missed your cooking” you huff, trying to ignore that kiss

but you push back at his chest to find that mark had already scrambled to clean the table

“it’s gone! too late.” mark coughs up. “sorry man, it was so good I ate it all.” then he gulps the rest of it that was in his throat so harshly it looked like it hurt

“yeah, mark’s an idiot.” from behind you, donghyuck gently pulls at your pinky finger with his index

but regardless of his gentle touch, you send him the most questionable side-stare (giving mark the opportunity to shoot daggers his way too) before you look back at the empty table

“you guys are acting super weird”

the next time donghyuck almost gets caught, he has to hide behind the short aisles of fruits

“hyuck said he was busy at the studio today,” he hears you over the phone. “I know. that’s why I’m picking up a couple of things at the supermarket.”

ducking even lower, he presses his back against the rows of oranges and pulls his shopping cart as close to his chest as possible

seriously, can he not catch a break? what are the chances of bumping into you here?

“why? you need anything?” you say into the line again, pushing your cart into the other side of the aisle donghyuck was sitting against

yes, sitting against.

donghyuck was more willing to be on the floor of the supermarket looking like a total idiot than to be caught by you

“anyways, you were saying? you wanted to tell me about the ghost who what? moved your bottle under your bed?”

donghyuck thanked the universe that you were distracted on the phone; he needed to get out there, quick

“oh shut up renjun” your laughter sounding even closer than before

renjun? it takes him a moment till-

renjun. thank fuck for that ghost-loving conspiracist

donghyuck immediately scrambles to grab his phone from his back-pocket

with one hand on the bar of his cart and the other typing away under renjun’s contact name, hyuck crawls on his knees in the opposite direction you were going

emphasis on crawls on his knees. donghyuck likes to think he’d never get on the gross floor like this for anyone

[hyuck] 3:09PM, tell y/n to buy you bread

since the bakery section was the furthest away from the fruits

[renjun] 3:10PM, what tf you weirdo. you tell her

[hyuck] 3:10PM, jusdt do it!!!!!!

“what?” you pause almost about to turn into the aisle donghyuck suspicious-looking-ass was crawling across, “he’s texting you? saying what?”

[hyuck] 3:11PM, dotn tell her !! !

he can feel the sweat down his back

[hyuck] 3:11PM, just say to get breadf plsd I’ll explainsd latrer

but renjun leaves him on read and the desperate, aisle-crawling boy’s heart drops

suddenly- “bread?” his ears perk up at your words, “that’s r.. okay, yeah. I can get you bread I guess.”

[renjun] 3:13PM, you owe me one asswipe :)

“why is everyone acting so strange lately?” you absentmindedly drawl into the phone, “huh? oh sorry- nothing nothing.”

then finally, when donghyuck can no longer hear you, he runs for the cashier, pays for the ingredients and ducks it out of the shop in record time

it’s been like this for the past week, sneaking around behind your back with the other members help, or constantly lying about things he needs to do and his schedule

donghyuck had been doing everything he could to prevent you from finding about his surprise

and when he says everything, he really means everything…

even when more than half of the credits have rolled up the screen, you refuse to leave the warmth of your spot tucked in donghyucks frame

with his arm around your shoulder, you snuggle perfectly up against his chest, both legs over one of his thighs and hands snug wrapped around his waist under his shirt

“that was a dumb movie,” donghyuck yawns, arching his back a little to release the heat down his spine

but you’re still so flushed against his body he lifts you with him

“I thought it was cute.” you say matter of factually squeezing his waist as if to tell him to stop moving. “you’re the dumb one”

“it didn’t make any sense! plus, how cliche is it to have that whole birthday fiasco like that”

“you practically made everyone kiss your feet on your birthday, hyuck.”

he holds back a laugh and puts a loose fist against his lips, “okay-”

“okay” you mimic in a silly voice

“-whatever.” then he pulls your head closer to yours, with a palm against your temple, to kiss your forehead

all this birthday stuff had you thinking..

“you’re not busy on monday, are you?” you try to sound as natural as possible

he knew didn’t he? well,, no pressure, or anything,,,,

donghyuck tries not to visibly gulp down the lump in his throat

“monday?” he pretends to think about something, “I don’t know I’ll have to ask our manager..”

but then it get really hard to pretend because he catches the glint of disappointment in your eyes

if lying about knowing your birthday was what will really set you off track of his surprise, he’d had to deal with this for now.

“okay” is all you say, your voice a little quieter than before

donghyucks heart strings pull at his chest

so he kisses your temple, then both your cheeks, before kissing your clothed shoulder

“okay” is all he can say back at the fake smile you wire across your lips

until monday, the memory of your dejected smile is what drives donghyuck to make the surprise even better.

[my fullsun] 8:45PM, rooftop in 5

that’s the first and only text donghyuck has given you today

[you] 8:46PM, what

but he doesn’t reply.

5 minutes later, you’re staring blankly at the closed door to the roof

the bottom of your soles going cold with a desire to back away, and palms all clammy because suddenly you feel nauseatingly nervous

and for what reason? you have no idea.

it’s only when you open the door and see the beautiful set up of hyuck’s lil picnic on the roof that makes all your worries completely subside

“do you know how hard it was to keep this from you?” donghyuck wears a lopsided smile on his face

“you’re way smarter than I thought” the tone in his voice never failing to seem that little bit more playful despite all his sincerity, “but, I guess.. not as smart as me..?”

he lets out a weak chuckle, scratching the back of his neck at your lack of response

and all of a sudden, you really don’t know why you have the urge to cry

“hyuck” you step forward to crash into his chest, “you’re the worst,” letting yourself snuggle into the warmth of his embrace as you laugh off your tears

“I know.” he says, understanding exactly what you mean. “happy birthday”

end.

summary: donghyuck, your crush, dance teacher, and friend, has you come over after a late night of practice.

The boy sighed as he walked around the small studio, waiting for you to come through the doors at any minute. He was stressed obviously, not knowing how to make you learn the dance faster, not because you had to or anything was rushing the two of you, it's just that he noticed you getting frustrated whenever you would mess up or fall a bit on the tempo. He knew how it could be for a person that had just started learning their favorite idols' dances, it reminded him a bit too much of how he used to be when he'd started. Though, he did get a bit more help from his relatives, yknow, being a wizard and all he had books that had been handed down to him that he refused to use unless it was extremely needed. He played the song, wanting to start with something easy so a girl group's song would've been easier on your body, structure and all.

"FANCY" had started blaring through the speakers, the boy running to the middle of the room to get in position and revise what he had taught himself that morning, seeing if he would mess up because that would be catastrophic in his mind, messing up while teaching you something you thought he was good at. His masculine body moved through as gracefully as possible, though he nailed the whole dance, he still found where he messed up, going over and over the same part till he got it completely right, for you. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," he kept on exclaiming, running a hand through his hair before he slumped down on the ground, running the small drops of sweat that had started to form on his forehead and cheeks. You'd been watching him dance the part over and over, impressed, though confused on why he was being so hard on himself when even you didn't see the mistake. When he'd fallen over you quickly ran over thinking he passed out or something from exhaustion, which wasn't such a rare occurrence and was making you worry about the boy even more.

"Donghyuck," you said, pressing your cold hands to his wet and pink cheeks, "Are you okay?" He sighed out and you wondered what had been stressing him so badly, whether it was the dance or schoolwork. Truth be told, it had been you and your cute face that made him so flustered and forced him to close his eyes and roll on his tummy from how fast his heart was beating. "Geez, could you stop stalking me," he scoffed and managed to pull himself up before leaning over to hug you, the soft smell of not only your shower gel but also your coffee made everything he was saying about himself go away. It was obvious to everyone how much he liked you, he practically adored you and the thought of you being with him, though there were times where he thought you wouldn't even dare to do with someone like him. "Are you ready? Do I have to tie your shoelaces again just like the last few billion practices?" he teased you because he knew you were clumsy and couldn't bother to tie them amid practice.

You guys played around for a bit before starting to warm up, the new odd exercises making your hips sore out of nowhere. He knew you wouldn't be flexible and would need to warm up lots, he cared for you and a sprained muscle was the thing he wouldn't want to happen to you. Once he'd started teaching you, you noticed how he positioned your arms and used a different count-system to make you get accustomed to the tempo, catching the beat, everything you didn't bother about focusing because his voice counting to the melody was enough for you to remember it. You were happy with how quick he'd helped you learn since he knew you were impatient with yourself just like he was with himself. You danced along with him and managed to finish the intro and the first part that lead to the chorus, feeling happy and satisfied with yourself, for the most part, you leaned over to Donghyuck, wrapping your arms around him and whining, "Hyuck, I'm tired, can we go now? Let's finish it tomorrow!" you said and heard him sigh, though he knew it was too late to just let you go home by yourself, so you'd stay over at his place for a bit.

It was a quiet walk to his place, the boy seemed fairly off about something but he didn't dare say anything whenever you asked if he was okay or not. Even if he did seem okay he had a lot on his mind, wondering how the fuck he was going to hide the books from his parents before you even managed to see them. His apartment was a mess, potion recipes all over the place, hopefully, however, you wouldn't notice them once you walked inside. All of the recipes were some form of 'love' potion and he wasn't just going to reveal his never-ending crush on you, nor was he going to try out one on you and not reverse it immediately, similar recipes to reversal spells all over his living room floor. He was thoughtful, he knew he had flaws more than a normal person would, which is why he'd thought you wouldn't be interested in him, he was too weird for you to like him like that.

"Donghyuck!" he snapped out of his worried thoughts and looked up at you with a slightly tilted head, "Unlock the door," you said blankly and the boy mentally kicked himself for not noticing that the two of you had been standing for quite a while in the cold. He apologized before quickly unlocking the door and running in first to pick up all of the papers everywhere but before he could do anything your figure rushed inside right behind him. "What are these?" you asked, picking up one of the pieces of paper from his hands, the boy swallowing a bit too hard at the thought of what you'd think. "Ah! This would be fun to make!" You pointed the paper to Donghyuck, "You have the ingredients, right?" he nodded, head slumping down as he set all of the papers down and decided to take your coat and bag.

"You wanna," he stopped in his tracks to his room a bit, "You want some of my clothes? To like, get comfy and all?" he asked you and of course you couldn't pass up the option to wear something of his, he always smelled so nice and his clothing was always loose around you. You followed him and he gave you a pair of pajamas before leaving the room to change in the bathroom and let you have your peace. Once the two of you met back in the living room, the actual potion-making had started, gathering all the ingredients first was the most important thing before you moved to the kitchen. It did state that the potion had to be put in a warm glass bottle before drunk, and so, the boy provided everything that you needed, even if some of the ingredients sounded a bit odd. "Did you put a pan outside to collect rainwater for this?" He hummed in response, watching you shrug and pour in the water, his lower lip between his teeth. He knew it would work since he was in presence, he was scared that he might not be able to reverse it after a while, however.

After about an hour and a half, the whole house smelled like apple pie, Donghyuck jumping up to take it off of the stove, telling you that he'll bring it over in a bit. He wasn't going to taste it since you had wanted it he was going to leave it for you. He watched you drink it up bit by bit, his leg moving up and down, squeezing his fingers, biting his lip, he was anxious. "How is it?" he asked, "Do you feel anything?" You raised your brow at him, shaking your head, "What am I supposed to feel?"

"Love."

"This potion didn't make my love for you even stronger, it sucks," you blurted out, raising the little bottle to take in the little sip that was left, the last sentence you'd said out of the blue making him confused. He felt a bit relieved, maybe it was the potion working."It doesn't even taste like apple pie," you pouted before looking at him and his expression. He was blushing. "Hyuckie, what's wrong? Did I say something bad?" you asked him over and over and he still couldn't believe what he'd heard you say. He moved without thinking and sat next to you, bringing his knees to his chest and moving one hand to softly trace over your fingers.

He was calm and happy for once, "You really like me?" he mumbled out and glanced at you, his grey bangs covering most of his eyes so you weren't able to see how teary-eyed he'd become. You softly grabbed his hand, earning a small gasp of relief from the boy, Hyuck, of course, I like you, I think I've been pretty obvious about that by now," you sand softly and turned toward him, your other hand grabbing to caress his cheek, "You're literally the cutest person ever, how could i not?" You felt your hand encounter something wet, probably a tear that he shed because he'd never really been complimented on his cuteness. "I really like you too," he said, "Like, more than a lot, it's indescribable even," he quickly leaned over to press a peck on your cheek, your skin encountering his burning and pink cheeks. He was shy, embarrassed even and too scared to initiate anything in case you were uncomfortable. Though you weren't disappointed when you'd kissed him, he didn't move for a second, not realizing what was happening at the moment, it was a shock to him. Eventually, he kissed back and pulled you closer, his hands gently resting on your waist as he pulled you even closer, letting out a soft whine when he'd pulled back because of lack of air. "Wanna make another potion tomorrow?" he asked softly, knowing he would suddenly be interested in the books he was given on his birthday, happy to see you agree.

The two of you fell asleep on his couch that night, happy that somehow his weird magic scripts brought the two of you together.

Serenade

A Markhyuck story in which Mark serenades Donghyuck in French because he’s in love (but also kind of a coward)

Extract: At random moments, for no apparent reason, Donghyuck will request a song, and Mark will find himself obliging. Then, for 3 or 4 minutes, Donghyuck will give him his undivided attention, and Mark will have to pretend that it doesn’t make him so nervous he might faint.

Word count: 1.6k Part: 1/3

A/N: This is an AU where Mark grew up in Québec and therefore speaks French! Originally meant to be crack, but Markhyuck makes me soft and hhh yeah, fluff/angst it is, I guess. Hope you’ll enjoy it! ^^

“Emmenez-moi au bout de la Terre… Emmenez-moi au pays des merveilles,” Marks sings softly, watching the city’s nightscape through the car’s window.

“Is that French?”

Mark glances back, meeting Donghyuck’s round eyes.

“Yup,” he replies. “It’s a song.”

There’s a sense of wonder on the younger’s face. “It sounds nice,” he declares. “I like it.”

Mark blinks. “You do?”

“Yeah,” Donghyuck says with a shrug. “Can you sing for me?”

“What?” he asks, lips curving a dumbfounded smile.

Donghyuck brings a hand to his heart.

“Serenade me, hyung,” he demands solemnly.

“Shut up,” Mark fires back, looking away, and he can feel his ears turning bright red.

A smile blossoms on the younger’s face. “For real. I like your singing voice.”

Marks studies him for a second. “Okay,” he lets out.

And he sings for Donghyuck.

From then on, it kinda becomes their thing. At random moments, for no apparent reason, Donghyuck will request a song, and Mark will find himself obliging. Then, for 3 or 4 minutes, Donghyuck will give him his undivided attention, and Mark will have to pretend that it doesn’t make him so nervous he might faint. Somehow (perhaps because it’s his literal job to perform), that never happens, but he still comes out of those interactions shaken up, and it feels unfair to him that Donghyuck doesn’t have to experience the same gripping anxiety.

The members don’t mind their little game. Sometimes, they even drop in to listen, and their presence breaks the intimacy of the endeavour. Mark finds that it’s both a relief and a bother. He’s is the only one amongst them who speaks French, but Donghyuck likes to brag that he can tell what Mark is saying by just looking at him.

“You’re an open book to me,” he lilts, grinning. “Regardless of the language.”

And that’s true, for the most part. Generally speaking, Mark isn’t one to hide his emotions, and Donghyuck has been around him for a long time. Still, Donghyuck doesn’t know everything.

He doesn’t know, for example, that when he smiles, Mark feels like the world finally makes sense. That when their skin brush, there’s a warmth that spreads from Mark’s core to the tip of his toes. Or that when he isn’t around, Mark can’t help but see him in everything.

In retrospect, there’s a lot Donghyuck doesn’t know.

The first time he does it, it’s an accident. Hyuck wants a song, and the only one his mind supplies is an old love song he hasn’t heard in years.

“On dit que le destin se moque bien de nous, qu’il ne nous donne rien et qu’il nous promet tout,” he sings, staring at his feet. “Paraît que le bonheur est à portée de main, alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou.”

Donghyuck must realize that Mark is avoiding his gaze; being his usual bratty self, he lies his head on Mark’s lap and forces their eyes to meet.

“The hell?” Mark exclaims, and Donghyuck clicks his tongue with an annoyed expression before pressing the older to go on with a hand movement.

Mark tries to push him away, but the kid is persistent, and in the end, Mark doesn’t have the heart to use all his force.

“Continue!” Donghyuck whines.

An exaggerated sigh.

“Pourtant quelqu’un m’a que tu m’aimais encore,” Mark sings with reluctance. “C’est quelqu’un qui m’a dit que tu m’aimais encore…”

As the words escape his lips,

As he melts into Donghyuck eyes,

“Serait-ce possible alors?”

He realizes that he means what he’s saying.

“Serait-ce possible alors?”

As the verses spill out,

He’s talking to Donghyuck,

He’s serenading Donghyuck.

And every time after that,

Every time Donghyuck asks him to sing,

He chooses a love song.

“Hyuck did really well on that on that photoshoot,” Mark comments.

“You keep babbling about him,” Johnny sighs, shaking his head.

“Me?” he replies, taken aback.

“I know you think he’s great,” Johnny continues. “That he’s cute and funny and charismatic and blah blah blah… But you never say it to his face.”

Mark frowns. “Well, I…”

Johnny glares at him with irritation and a lingering fondness. “You should be more sincere.”

When Mark steps into his room, he finds a body curled up in the middle of his mattress.

“Jeez,” he mutters, shaking Donghyuck by the shoulder. “Go back to your own bed.”

“No,” the younger replies, voice muffled by the pillow.

“Dude, I’m tired…” Mark says, dropping by a very immobile Donghyuck.

“Me too.”

Marks rubs his temples; it’s not like it’s the first time something like this happens, and he knows that Donghyuck always wins.

“Move,” Mark instructs, pushing himself onto the bed.

Donghyuck groans but complies, and as soon as Mark is fully under the blanket, he wraps his legs around him.

“Hyuck,” Mark scolds, doing his best to keep a steady voice. “It’s too hot, stop.”

“Sing me to sleep,” Donghyuck replies groggily.

“Are you serious?”

“Mhm.”

“I’m exhausted.”

“Please.”

A short silence.

“What song?” Mark hears himself ask.

“Anything soothing.”

Mark considers the request.

“Moi je n’étais rien et voilà qu’aujourd’hui,” he begins, almost in a whisper. “Je suis le gardien du sommeil de ses nuits...”

“Go on,” Hyuck urges, squeezing his body a bit tighter.

“Je l’aime à mourir.”

He takes a deep breath, and the air smells of Donghyuck’s shampoo.

“Vous pourrez détruire tout ce qui vous plaira.”

Donghyuck hums along, and the vibrations send a shiver to Mark’s back.

“Il n’a qu’à ouvrir l’espace de ses bras pour tout reconstruire…”

The younger nuzzles against his side.

“Tout reconstruire,” he murmurs. “Je l’aime à mourir.”

As the song nears its end, Donghyuck’s breathing evens, and Mark thinks about running away (to the kitchen, to the street, to anywhere but here), but a minute passes, then ten, thirty.

Mark is still there.

He stays.

He always does.

Every now and then, Mark allows himself to confess a thing or two under the protection of their language barrier.

“Criss que t’es beau,” he mumbles.

Donghyuck frowns. “Was that an insult?”

“Uh…” Mark utters. “No.”

The other stares. “Right…”

Eventually, he starts doing it more often, and it always feels like a huge weight off his shoulders.

“Ce serait le fun, que tu m’aimes aussi,” he whispers as Donghyuck falls asleep against him for the third time that week. “Qu’on soit ensemble. Que j’puisse dire que t’es à moi.”

It’s all fun and games until one morning, when his body is functioning on 3 hours of sleep and his trilingual brain fucks up. Donghyuck is making tea, and despite his bed head, he looks absolutely lovely.

“I’d kiss you,” Mark says under his breath.

There’s a pause, and as Donghyuck eyes fill with confusion, Mark realizes his terrible mistake.

“What?” the younger lets out.

“What?” Mark echoes, and he considers yeeting out the window.

“What did you just say?”

“That I… miss… you.”

Hyuck doesn’t seem any less puzzled. “I’m right here though?”

“Yes,” Mark agrees slowly. “But we haven’t had much time to properly hang out recently.”

A pause.

“That’s true,” Donghyuck concedes, and he turns back to the tea. “Do you wanna go see a movie this weekend?”

“That’d be cool,” Mark declares, trying to breathe normally.

Donghyuck looks up again and smiles,

And there go Mark’s efforts.

After that unfortunate event, Mark calms down with his impromptu love confessions. If Donghyuck asks for him to sing, he’ll only agree if he can think of a song that has nothing to do with romance.

They’re walking back from the convenience store when Donghyuck requests something new. Mark protests, Donghyuck insists, and Mark would punch the boy if he wasn’t so damn cute. After a his mind runs around for a minute, he somehow ends up settling for the Canadian anthem.

He sings the beginning quietly, and Donghyuck is skipping besides him, and god, can he not?

“...car ton bras sait porter l’épée, il sait porter la croix. Ton histoire est une épopée des plus brillants exploits.”

A deep inspiration.

“God keep our land, glorious and free, Ô Canada we stand on guard for thee, Ô Canada we stand on guard for thee!”

There’s a pause.

“That was English,” Donghyuck notes.

“Yeah...” Mark confirms, running a hand through his hair. “I only know the bilingual version, sorry.”

Donghyuck pouts. “It’s not that I’m ungrateful or anything…” he says, and Mark snickers. “But why the hell would you pick your national anthem?”

“It’s the first thing that came to my mind,” Mark lies.

“That’s so random.”

Mark mumbles something about running out of ideas.

“Can’t you go back the to the old ones?” Hyuck wonders. “I feel like I haven’t heard them in a while.”

“Oh, uh…” Mark says. “They’re a bit too cheesy.”

“As far as I’m concerned, they’re just pretty,” Donghyuck retorts with a laugh. “Besides, they sound much more romantic.”

Mark’s heart skips a beat.

“Romantic?” he parrots, in a daze.

Donghyuck offers a wide grin. “French is the language of love, isn’t it?”

“R-right.”

“Plus, you always get super intense when you sing in French,” he says. “You’re super into it. It’s almost the same level as when we’re in the recording studio.”

A nervous chuckle escapes Mark’s lips.

“I guess it’s because it’s your first language.”

“Yup,” Mark agrees, vigorously nodding. “That’s why. Obviously.”

Donghyuck sends a wink his way.

“I know you well,” he says.

Mark can't do anything but smile.

A/N: Est-ce que j’ai écris ça essentiellement pour faire sacrer Mark? Pas mal, ouais. No regrets hahahah

[mistymark]

the one with the stagehand // m.k.l

mark lee x reader // theatre au // 1.4k // masterlist

summary; in which mark really wants to impress y/n but singing is not the way to go apparently

warnings; nope this is a Pure piece // no real plot

requested; nope but I havent posted in ages so :// here

notes; sorry for not posting in forever !! but here is my third mark post of the night so hopefully y'all will forgive me

mark has been talking about auditioning for the next production for a while

it may or may not be because you are the director’s assistant

the dreamies laugh but still encourage him to go for it, sure he’ll fail and/or embarrass himself

and that would be fucking hilarious

so mark goes and picks up a script from the actual director and practices in their dorm at all times of the day

after hearing the script three times, hyuck starts quoting it, and has learnt more than mark

hyuck starts teasing mark that he’ll go against him for the lead

after standing on the kitchen table in the middle of the living room and belting the lyrics to the audition song to everyone at breakfast (and surprisingly getting a lot of compliments for it), hyuck decides to audition 

tensions run high as both hyuck and mark start practicing

to spite mark, hyuck asks you to run lines with him

mark retalliates by telling the director that hyuck wants to be the love interest instead of the lead

(jisung asks you if he can join the stage crew - of course, you said yes)

chenle asks shortly after

you think its really sweet that they want to support the theatre students but really theyre both there to see jaemin and mark crash and burn during auditions

on audition day, both mark and hyuck audition for the lead role

they havent spoken in a week

(markhyuck summer fight of 2017 y'all)

you sit with the director and judge them

you smile when hyuck walks on stage, knowing how hard he’s worked

mark is kinda really annoyed, scowling as he watches hyuck “butcher” the audition song

ur really surprised when mark rocks up on stage

because ”im really more of a rapper dude cmon”

but nonetheless he did

and you were ????? shocked??? he was Great

but when he saw ur face

he had the most SMUG grin

and u were instantly like >_>>>>

anyways

once auditions were over

they both stomp out of the theatre, refusing to speak

the cast list is posted two days later, and they both race to find out who got the role. both of them physically deflate when they see the name.

JENO?! 

they’RE BOTH Y E L L I N G

loud bois

jeno walks down the hall calmly, just checking if he actually got the role

he’s very startled when he sees he’s got the lead

mark and hyuck demand answers, and finally speak to one another again (that is before mark points out hyuck got the lead as jeno’s love interest) 

hyuck is s p u t t e r i n g

“I didn’t even audition for that role!!!”

he’s very confused, before he sees that mark’s name isn’t even on the list

smugly, hyuck points this out

sticking his tongue out at mark

until jeno’s like

yo wait mark’s name is here

mark’s name is flagged as “lighting and tech, to report to y/n l/n”

mark is honestly more rapt with that than he would have been if he’d been given the lead

during practices, mark mucks around with the lights, mostly on purpose, partly because he has no idea what he’s doing, just so you have to go over the lights with him AGAIN

chenle is mostly unseen during rehearsals, but he is heard because he keeps dropping props and bumping into sets

they all hear jeno’s voice for the first time, and realise he was probably a better lead than both mark or hyuck

though hyuck is adamant it should've been him

“the director just has it out for me I swear!!! he didnt like me at all last year”

“no one did” - renjun, 2k19

you hang out in the lighting box most of the time, because that’s the only place kun can’t find you and ask you a million more questions about his sets and costumes

mark loves it, he jokes and makes you laugh, until he misses his queue for a light or something and you dont talk to him for half an hour so he can focus

hyuck, at first, refuses to play the love interest the way its written, swaggering around the stage and saying things like “this is ridiculous” after all of his lines

after a few practices, he gets really into it, and doesnt even need his script, he’s spent most of his afternoons memorising all of his lines and stage directions

one practice, mark is not needed with the lights, because they’re just doing a props and set run-through with the full cast, so you ask if you can practice some of the makeup on him

mark, of course, says yes.

you blabber on about running the production, and how the director does LITERALLY NOTHING since the auditions, and just sits there while you do everything else

and how the hair and makeup girls were absent and barely ever showed up, and how you had to practically beg Jaemin to help out on the night (the agreement was; he wouldn’t have to attend any rehearsals other than the dress rehearsal, and of course, the nights of the performance)

as he doesnt have a lot of experience with makeup, youve given him the easy tasks

but it still means you have to learn how to do stage makeup

all mark can think about is how close you are to him

after a pause, you, as if for the first time, notice how sharp his jawline actually is 

and for a while, thats all you can think about

“thinking about me?” mark does one of those little half-smiles that bothered you (but you totally still thought it was kind of cute)

“always” you rolled your eyes, your tone dripping sarcasm

you stepped back, biting the inside of you cheek to stop a smile creeping up on your face

“I think I’m done.”

“finally” mark lets his head roll back against the edge of the chair, messing up his hair, and then stands up to grab the mirror

at this point, you let out a laugh, and mark furiously turns around “YOU TURNED ME INTO A FISH?!” 

you grin, “a very CUTE fish, you’re Flounder!” 

you're very proud of yourself; the fact that mark could even tell he was a fish was a good sign

“WE’RE NOT EVEN DOING THE LITTLE MERMAID!” he starts to rub furiously at his face, trying to get the makeup off, but ends up looking like he’s just been beaten in a fist fight

you can barely contain your laughter, “aw come on, that took ages!!”

later that week, after a six hour rehearsal, the director asks mark to change the lighting filters on the stage, even though he could have done it during the rehearsal

but I mean its okay I guess bc he has to stay back

and

you're staying back too

so like

;)))))

hyuck and jeno are laughing about the kissing scene next week, it hasn’t quite dawned on them that THEYRE actually the ones kissing

Jisung is frantically trying to find the lighting filters, even though he already gave them to mark, and then leaves after being told by you that he was stressing you out

in the lighting and sound booth, you’re going through the script again, marking areas the cast needs to go over and adding stage directions

you hums the duet that hyuck and jeno had been singing earlier as you do it

mark, who is balancing on a ladder on the stage, trying to fit the new filters onto the lights, nearly jumps out of his skin as he hears the humming come through the speakers around the theatre, the microphone in the booth catching every note of your singing

he smiles but continues changing the light filters, not being able to stop himself from singing the other part of the duet

soon, he’s screaming the lyrics as loud as he can to try and drown out some of your off key humming

you’re laughing in the booth as he screws up his face, his glasses balancing on the tip of his nose as he tries to block his ears with one hand and adjust the stage lights with the other

“now I can see why you’re on stage crew” you smirk, leaning down to talk through the mic, “you’re a terrible singer”

“a terrible singer, maybe, but even I can detect how off key your humming was” he yells back, sticking his tongue out and momentarily losing his balance on the ladder

ps I have 8 requests as of now and I promise I will get to all of them pls have patience w/ me ily all <33333

good evening, Thots

let us dive in, shall we

alright so you had been doing makeup since you were a wee lass !!

of course it was , pretty terrible but like practice makes perfect and now you’re an absolute LEGEND

one of your friends convinced you to start posting tutorials and have an instagram acc dedicated to your Iconic Looks and the rest was history !!!!

you started getting hella attention everyone loved you bitch !!!

so you started advertising you were like ayy if y’all need your makeup done , hmu i am Skilled

at first you started out doing other gals makeup for formal dances and whatnot

then you climbed your way up the celebrity ladder and now you’re a god damn nct makeup artist ?????

things you did: THAT

alright so you got hired just in time for cherry bomb promotions

you took a look at some of their past looks and ,,,,, you were horrified honestly who did that to them

SM CAN GET FUCKED

anyways you Turned Their Shit Around and had them lookin bout fine as hell

all the boys had been super awkward around you at first and it was soooo funny

because you were pretty used to being v close to people you don’t know well

from all the years of doing other people’s makeup now you just go right in

you got real close to mark and he squeaked and like pressed himself back into the chair

like ? shouldn’t he be used to this by now ???

johnny was the only one who was cool with you the first time even if he was an absolute SLEAZEBAG

“sorry if i get all up in your face i’m just trying to keep your eyebrows FLEEKY U KNO WHAT IM SAYIN”

“nah i don’t mind having a face like yours that close ;)))))”

“oops didn’t mean to bump into your knee like that”

“that’s okay my lap is always open for u :}”

he’s the worst god i love him

you’re on the younger side too so he’s all,

c̢̖̲̹̞̰̪ͅa̫͠l̶̜̞l̠̝͇͠ ̪̙͕̲̫̯m̙̪͖e̱͙̦̳̦̝͢ ͕̼̳̰̞o̹p҉͖̘͙͍̞̲p͍̙͙͙̹̖͞a҉̠͓̠̜͕

and you’re all

NO

taeyong asks how old you are and as soon as he finds out you’re younger than him he becomes your mom

you’ll be doing his makeup and he’s like okay but have u eaten today ??? you look too thin please eat

“one: stop moviNG IM TRYING TO CONTOUR YOU and two: please are u my damn grandmother i’m FINE i’ve eaten plenty :&&;&,$,”

you and haechan just roast each other the whole time

“yet another pimple i see, hyuckie, have you been keeping up with the skincare regimen i sent you home with?”

“first of all, fuck you, second of all, you sent me home with a piece of paper that said ‘you can wash your face to get rid of the acne but there’s nothing you can do about the ugly’ you evil WITCH”

but it’s all in good fun and you and hyuck are besties at heart and can tell when it’s not a good day for teasing

whenever you can tell he’s down you make sure to be extra playful when you’re putting on his makeup, tapping him on the nose or tickling his ear with your makeup brush til he giggles

i’m soft gOD

THIS ISNT A DONGHYUCK FIC I GOTTA CHILL

the rest are pretty cool with you too!! yuta is a worse flirt than johnny though it’s like unnecessary but it’s funny and you know he’s , mostly kidding, so you let it slide

anyways !!! cherry bomb is coming to a close and you did That the entire time you had them absolutely GLOWING

but then you get some emails from your boss talking about a new NCT U song/concept that will be filmed toward the end of the year

((i think that’s when it was filmed ?? i’m so sorry if there’s inaccuracies in here i’m very bad with dates :’-)))))))

they tell you you’re traveling to the UKRAINE

THATS FAR

and VERY COLD

they also tell you that they’re gonna be debuting two new members in this unit and you’re a little Nervous since you’ve only been doing 127’s and Dream’s makeup for the past like , half a year

(u were responsible for the we young era,,,,, god bless u)

but you’re also excited because they described the concept to you and you’ve already got ideas to make everyone look Hot and Badass

your boss sent some predebut pics and said the new ones were Yukhei and Jungwoo and, wOW THEYRE PRETTY

jungwoo looks absolutely soft and squishy so you’re a bit worried about making him look ,,,,, BOSS but yukhei.

is a whOLE MAN

he’s got big eyes and lips that give him softer features but , the look in his eyes and like his cheekbones and ????? wow you’re gonna turn him into Daddy Material

anywhom

the time has come and we are on our way to the ukraine !!! yeehaw it’s cold as balls out here

you arrive and get to stay in the hotel for a night before you gotta Get To Work

you arrive bright and early with all your beauty products

you , as the resident makeup artist, look cute as hell even if you are rather cold

your nose is tinted a bit red even tho you have foundation on rip

you set up your little station in the main tent because they’re gonna film all the outdoor parts first

jaehyun walks in first with winwin and they he looks scruffy af

“jaehyun you DOLT did you not shave ??? you know that tickles my hand when i’m trying to make you hot”

“i’m already hot”

“uh huh go shave your face i guarantee you don’t want me to try”

“ugh, yes ma’am”

“hey winwinie~”

“good morning !!!”

winwin is Precious and Easy To Work With as usual

mark comes in next and he’s flustered and cute AS USUAL

of course he’s comfy with you now but you enjoy making him flustered

“mark, baby, you’re GLOWING today!!! go off king”

“y/N PLEASE ENOUGH”

doyoung comes next and his Flawless Skin makes the process so much easier for you ugh

reLEASE THE SKINCARE ROUTINE

COWARDS

anywhom you get to meet jungwoo next !!!

FUCKIN UWU

his blue hair ,,,,,,,, amazing

he’s so sweet and releases little breathy giggles every once in a while when the brushes tickle him

you’re finishing up with jungwoo when, the Man Himself literally stumbles into the tent

“hyUNG are you almost done we’re bout to film man”

and he is absolutely Large and you are , very appreciative god damn

even barefaced this man baby looks GOOD that is not fair :-(

“lucas!~ you still have to get your makeup done but i think y/n was almost finished. are you?”

jungwoo turns to look up at you while he asked and you, have to exercise GREAT restraint not to talk to him in a baby voice

so you just nod and then give him a once over and tell him he can go ahead to wardrobe

you wave yukhei over and you’re like hey uh ,,, yukhei? or should i call u lucas ?!/!:&:&

he cackles and asks you to call him lucas and asks your name and how old you are and what your star sign is and your favorite color and your nct bias

(when you tell him you love them all equally he’s all like Not For Long 

>:-))) soon i shall PREVAIL)

basically he’s questioning you and you’re like oKAY PLEASE IM TRYING TO MAKE YOUR FACE BEAUTIFUL

“my face is already beautiful thank u very MUCH”

“you boys are all the same jaehyun  already pulled that shit today, LAME”

he pouts and you tap him on the lip with the handle of your makeup brush and then Get To Work

you truly have him lookin RIGHT wooo shit he looks good

and as you’re doing it your brain is like that clip from sponge bob where squidward is like oh NO he’s hot !!!! :(

you’re doing his eye makeup and you’re standing, in between his legs like they’re so long and in the way it’s the only way to get close enough to to do it well and you’re highkey, Blushing

he’s literally just staring up at you while you do his makeup and your hands are starting to shake what business does he have with such big brown puppy dog eyes :((((

“hey quit staRINg at me dude”

“ am i making u,,,, nervous ;)”

“, YES pls stop :((“

“aw i’m srry :((((“

pouts AGAIN and you shove his shoulder a little for making fun of you

when you finish you just kind of nod and he takes that as a go ahead and like SPRINGS up

and you’re standing very close so he almost knocks you the hell over

you tip backwards and he grabs you by the waist to steady you while you basically grab handfuls of his clothes to keep you upright

there’s a pause where you guys are just.. pressed together before you fly apart and lucas awkwardly rubs the back of his neck like nervous boys do in movies AW

“i really gotta stop knocking people over i almost took oUT jungwoo earlier srry abt that :’-))))))”

you’re like haha it’s fine :’-))))))))))))))

it’s really awkward so he yeets out of there just as taeyong strolls in looking entirely too smug

“so, you’ve taken a liking to our newest member hmmmm ??”

“aw no jungwoo is just so cute !!”

“quit playing dumb you knew what i meant”

“okaY but literally nothing happened please don’t make this a big deal”

“it’s a big deal bbg it’s tOO LATE NOW”

you sigh and then do his makeup pretty quickly since even barefaced he looks unreal

fckin anime character

okay everyone is now made up and dressed (jaehyun came last freshly shaven , looking like a bar of soap as usual) and you’re on standby outside to fix any little blemishes they may get while filming

everything is pretty good because most of the boys are used to wearing makeup but lucas is Dumb and just like ?? rubs at his eye and wipes half of it off ????

you sCREECH as he’s doing it and he jumps and is like ??? what is it what’s wrong with you

“what’s wrong with me ??? wHATS WRONG WITH YOU I WORKED HARD TO MAKE YOU LOOK THAT ETHEREAL DAMNIT”

you have to fix it on the spot so y’all can stay on schedule so he does that thing where he stands with his legs super far apart so his face is level with yours

his legs are so far apart in order for him to be short enough rip (.... literally. pray for his pants u guys)

you fix up his eye and warm him that you’ll give him a black eye with your fist instead of makeup if he messes up your Artwork again

the shoot goes really well and you get to know lucas and jungwoo better throughout the rest of the filming

things are…. tense between you and lucas but not in like a bad way more like a we are both sort of attracted to each other and unsure what to do from here way

lucas gets braver as time passes and has become wayyyyy more flirty

the tension just sort of transforms to hardcore flirting and little fleeting touches jskdkfk

you havent stopped blushing for like 4 days straight

as you do his makeup he’ll stare up at you with fckn awestruck eyes and one of his hands will drift up to circle around your wrist as you tilt his head this way and that

its a GIANT hand too I just wanna mention that they're very nice hands thank you for your time

as you do his makeup you’ll purposefully let your hand linger on his neck and use your thumb to caress turn his jaw

when you stand between his legs to do his makeup he’ll scoot to the edge of the chair to get as Close As Possible until your hips are almost touching the inside of his thighs ???:$&:&:@:@

SPICY

but eventually the shoot is over :(((( rip

buT no worries ;))))) black on black is being filmed in like a month and you’ll see his goofy ass soon heheh

highkey black on black makes u , Hot And Bothered like the part where lucas is on the floor and doing thaT THING

YALL KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT

he highkey gets up and is like

did u like that babygirl ~~~ ���😘💕🤪😩

and you just stick your tongue out at him and he sticks his tongue out at you and it’s Juvenile

“JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY!!!!”- johnny, from across the room

you: Red

lucas: wheezing

you guys pull all the same touchy flirty bullshit for this MV filming too and all the boys are like o.o

“hyung are u dating our makeup artist(¬‿¬) ” -chenle

“god i wish”

“what”

“i mean , no”

and now BOSS has been released and you’ve gotta do his makeup for all these stages and you two just , keep dancing around each other

when the boys get their first win for BOSS tho lucas is sO HYPE

because it’s his first time really performing live and they WON AND ???? THIS IS CRAZY

and he’s so happy he’s like shaking and he bursts into the dressing room after they all come off stage

he makes it there before everyone else because he RAN like a dork

you’re packing up all your stuff and hear the door open and you turn around to congratulate the boys but it’s just lucas and he runs in and pICKS YOU UP

he spins you around and sets you down and is like

JSDKSJDK Y/N WE WON ????

and you’re like

OMG YEAH I KNOW IM SO PROUD OF U ??!:&:@.

and then he just kisses you right on the lips in excitement

it’s just a press of lips and it was barely a kiss since he was still smiling so hard

his smile fades after and he looks , terrified

you also are terrified because ?

he’s Done It Now

the imaginary LINE has been CROSSED

but like, the barrier is broken now right ????

yolo

so you just shake your head and flick him on the nose

“damn you could have taken me to dinner first”

he laughs nervously because you haven’t made it clear whether or not you’re going to murder him and, That’s Scary

but you giggle and press up on your toes to kiss him more gently and tell him it’s okay and you like him and if he likes you back that would be GREAT

and he just smooshes you against him really hard and presses at least 26 kisses to your cheeks and it tickles and you’re like heY STOP THE LIPSTICK I PUT ON YOU WILL STAIN ME

“i like u too,, HEHEHHE”

“god you had to ruin it by cackling like the wicked witch of the west didn’t you???”

“absolutely, sweetheart :)”

okay the rest of nct u is on the way so you quickly agree that this should be a Semi Secret relationship because he’s so new to the scene and he’s probably not even allowed to date rn lol

but he INSISTS that he can treat you well no matter what and who are you to stop him honestly

he’s so blatant with the touching while you do his makeup now though that although you haven’t explicitly told anyone ,,, all the members of NCT know

he just loops his arms around your hips and pulls you close and blatantly admires you while you’re concentrated on his makeup

squeezes your ass every once in a while which makes you squeak and slap his shoulder

that little SHIT

one time taeil caught you sneaking in some food for lucas during dance practice and was like

��honestly just come in we all know you’re in a relationship gOD it’s so obvious”

so now you come to dance practice all the time with food for him and extra for the other boys

he’s always jealous

literally all the time

you’ll be doing marks makeup and hyping him up as usual

(baby bOY DESERVES IT)

and lucas will be :(((((( y don’t u say that stuff to me

“i literally say that and more to you and about you”

“okay but why not only me :(((((“

“oh my god”

or when you bring food he’ll be like NO she brought this for me go away you commoners !!!!!

honestly you feel like you’re taking care of a toddler sometimes except he’s HUGE

you have to be like

“now lucas, sharing is caring and i brought enough for everyone stop being gREEDY”

any free time he has he comes to your apartment

mainly because you guys want to be mushy and coupley and not have to listen to all the members whining and fake gagging

he’ll knock on your door at midnight with a blanket in hand and fresh out of the shower and looking CUTE

“can i sleep over :(((( i cant sleep without you:((((((“

BITCH

your heart melts oh my shosjdjdjckf

and this boy basically can’t sleep without you now because he sleeps over so much im emo

at first he insists on being the big spoon every time but after awhile Sleepy Baby Boy Lucas reveals himself

when he’s super tired he’ll just let himself in and climb in your bed and plant his head on your chest and his arms around your waist and just sigh contentedly

if he can’t sleep he’ll steal your hand and place it on top of his head and nudge you til you start running your fingers through his hair and scratching his scalp

uwu this is so cute

loves to hold your hands whenever possible

you guys can’t really go on dates since the relationship is Super Secret and he wants so bad to show you off but he CANT :/

so he just pretends y’all are out on the town and holds your hand at home when you’re just chillin

has taken to putting things you need in very high places so he can come up behind you and reach over your head to hand it to you

okay but like once in a while you both do your best to have a Normal Date where you go out doors you just have to be

Incognito Mode

so summer dates dont really work out since it’s hard to hide your identity when you’re not covered head to toe because it’s HOT

they’re mainly winter dates like ice skating and hot chocolate and fall festival stuff !!!!

he insists that you go to any festival in town like INSISTS

festival for a random and obscure flower?? you best believe you’re attending and going home covered flowers

he tried to make you a flower crown but it kept falling apart so he just stuck flowers all up in your hair AWE

forced you to pose so he could take pictures of you

(he made it his lock screen !!!! uwu)

this boy just, loves you so much and the day he tells you is when you’re both sick and dying because he got a cold and then gave it to you so you’re both laying in bed feeling Terrible

you’re laying there and feeling lightheaded and too hot but you’re both Clingy so you still hold hands at least lmao

and lucas tugs on your hand and you flop on your side to look at him expectantly

“yes, lucas?”

“hey”

“hey”

“guess what”

“hmmmmm what”

“i love you”

“oh, me too”

“like you love me too or you love you too”

“U2 is alright i guess”

“no i mean do you love me or yourself”

“both”

“sweet, self love is important too”

and theN YOU TERRIBLE PEOPLE PASS OUT HEHSHS

WHO CONFESSES THEIR LOVE LIKE THAT ????

when you wake up you feel slightly better and look over and see Your Man sprawled out over the bed with one arm haphazardly thrown over you

he rlly can’t sleep without a hand on you that is so so cute fuckdjkdjd

you remember confessing your love to each other in a delirious and feverish haze and snicker because it was RIDICULOUS

you gently turn to face him so you don’t wake him up and trail your fingertips up his arms to trace his features

his eyes flutter open and he’s literally unreal like he looks like an angel

and he smiles all sleepy like and brings his hand up to capture your wrist and kiss your palm

“good morning i’m no longer fucked up on theraflu and i love you”

“good morning i’m also no longer fucked up and i love you MORE”

he scoffs dramatically

“not possible !!!!!”

“is too !!!”

“is nOT”

“IS TOO”

“IS NOT”

and so on :-)

markhyuck prince/servant au

mark as a prince and hyuck as his servant and..... this is like headcanons i guess 

this is way too long jesus christ good luck 2 reading </33

- ok so mark would be the most admirable prince ever because he is so hard working and modest and kind and all the girls swoon over him tbh

- hyuck is his like... personal servant kinda?? who always wakes him up and makes him his bed and all so he isn't like too low in the hierarchy  

- mark's family didnt want a maid to do that stuff for him bc they dont want their perfect son to feel lust over any girl

- but as we all know, mark isnt really even interested in girls but we will get to that later

- okay so hyuck and mark are very close since hyuck was born to the castle too since his mom was a servant like him and they grew up together

- they are lowkey highkey best friends but !! they have to keep it low because its not suitable for a good boy like mark to hang out with people like donghyuck.

- mark always tells donghyuck his worries and opens up to him before going to bed and he would sit on the edge of his huge bed in his nightgown talking to him and donghyuck would pretend to do some last minute chores so he doesnt have to go just yet

- but of course he always has to go because mark is a prince and donghyuck is just a servant

- all the other boys bore mark so much. he has to attend these fancy ass dinners and all because well, duties, and the other children are just as dull as middle aged men or either too rebellious and talking down to others. mark isnt good at making friends in general even though his parents always tell him to so he tries

- and yet he is always thinking about donghyuck and comparing him to the other boys. donghyuck is always better, always more funnier and more understanding

- so when he gets back to his room donghyuck is waiting for him and mark is on the verge of tears (of frustration) and he almost tears off the fancy clothing he is wearing because its tough to be the perfect prince

- donghyuck would just sigh and take marks hand and rub his thumb over his knuckles and shake his head

- "they are all so horrible, i wish i could take you to those dinners instead"

- "i wouldn't be suitable for that anyway, you have to find a girl to marry who you will take as your companion"

- mark would just go all quiet and shrug his shoulders because mark wants no girl. he is quite convinced donghyuck is all he needs (and his parents, he loves them, really)

- he would also miss the sad look in donghyuck's eyes

- because all the girls swoon over mark but donghyuck is the one who really knows him and who really loves and admires him. not the perfect image but the real mark who gets his palms dirty when he falls off a horse and who whines like a child when he has to get up in the morning

- ok but in the mornings after hyuck has gotten up and ready, he goes to wake mark up. he sneaks carefully into his room and shuts the door and then is when he marches determinedly to the windows and opens the curtains to let the morning rays of sun in

- "good morning sunshine!" he'd yell to mark who would just turn on his side under the heavy blanket and well, whine and groan

- "it's time to rise and shine!" hyuck singsongs the same cliches every morning so it doesnt affect mark anymore so he just closes his eyes

- donghyuck walks to his bed and starts pulling the blanket off but mark just grabs (sleepily!!) donghyuck by his arm and tugs him into the bed next to him and just wraps his arms around the younger boy

- because sleepy mark is also very cuddly mark. its the same thing every morning and it makes donghyuck lose his marbles bc... no.... u cant do that.. ily my bro... thats whats he is thinking

- mark keeps his eyes shut but when he opens them donghyuck's face is so close and the sunshine coming thru the window is reflecting on his eyes and he just looks super beautiful like that and mark is kind of starstruck

- he gets the butterflies and all but he refuses to think about it so he just smiles and laughs with his voice kinda deep because its the morning. mark doesnt understand why donghyuck looks so flustered

- hyuck hits his head with his palm and sighs very loudly

- "you have to get washed up" and drags him up

- donghyuck has known for a very long time that he doesnt like mark only as a friend. he isnt even exactly sure when it escalated to that point bc mark just has always kind of been there and hyuck has seen him grow and mess up and all

- he is /super/ possessive of mark tbh but he never tells the older boy it. like in the whatever space where the servants and maids and all live he can hear the servant girls giggling about how handsome and perfect mark is and how they are jealous of the princess who gets to marry him and donghyuck goes all >:[

- so hyuck would just say something snappy or mean that mark wouldnt like girls like them bc !! he is so jealous !!! bc donghyuck isnt a girl and he is still just a servant after all and it makes him so mad

- donghyuck has some issues with anger management too like nothing super hardcore but anger makes him wanna break bricks

- so he just walks out and tries to find mark

- and like when he is walking somewhere with mark and he sees the girls hyuck just steps closer to mark and glares at them because the older boy is his

- even though he knows he isnt and it wont last but he wants to pretend!

- mark on the other hand had a long, long (ass) ride with realizing what he felt towards hyuck... like where hyuck realized it in their preteens mark only realized it just now as in like... age of 16

- its like... he never really felt attraction to girls anyways or it was always like "i guess they are pretty but thats it" where about donghyuck he was like "my beautiful intelligent funny understanding warm best friend" but it was always like !! best friend !! boys dont like boys !!

- like. highkey in denial

- but it was also bc he was quite young and all so he thought that he will have crushes on girls when he grows up. but he never does and at first he is kind of confused and scared bc everyone is talking abt he will feel strange things towards girls but he never does

- at some point he just puts the two together like... the feelings you should feel towards girls and what he feels towards donghyuck

- again it scares him bc mark is stuck to the stuff he has been taught to!!!

- but after a while he is like.. hyuck is my best friend and i dont wanna lose him bc of this.... so its okay.... and just accepts it (its tough but!!! he manages)

- he doesnt tell hyuck tho

- they both are highkey oblivious but the way they act is so boyfriend-ish anyways so they rlly wouldnt need a lot of chance

- sometimes when the duties and the life in castle gets too much mark asks hyuck to sneak him out

- when he did it for the first time hyuck was hesitant and kind of angry like "??? dont u realize i could get killed for doing this?????" but tbh hyuck is so whipped and cant say no to mark

- and now it happens more often

- mark loves the rush and excitement and seeing the normal life around the town and hyuck just loves to please mark (thats a lie, its not about pleasing but making him happy)

- mark wears a cloak with a hood and keeps his gaze down and narrows his shoulders to appear smaller. he holds donghyucks hand while they r walking on the cobblestone ground bc... he doesnt even have a reason he just wants to hold his hand

- donghyuck doesnt question it bc he doesnt want mark to stop either

- they always have a blast in the town and mark feels normal and ordinary which he likes

- but this time when they r drinking hot chocolate in a narrow street, sitting on a porch, mark doesnt let go of hyucks hand. he just keeps his fingers linked with his while looking away bc he is kinda embarrassed

- they finish their drinks in silence and mark is lowkey sad bc its getting late and they have to go soon but he isnt just ready to let the moment pass so he leans his head on hyuck's shoulder and goes like

- "i dont want this to end. i wanna be normal. with u" and hyuck feels so so so sad

- but they return to the castle, like always

- ok but its mark who confesses bc... he knows he has the upper hand if things would go wrong (which he doesnt wanna talk about)

- its after a fencing practice and mark is all sweaty and gross and covered in mud and mark is gonna take a bath and obviously hyuck is in the bathroom to help him

- but mark is still kind of high on adrenaline while being very exhausted so its a strange state of mind he is in and thats what leads to him just blurting it out (also that how pretty donghyuck looks with a little bit dirt on his cheekbone and messy hair)

- so mark just blurts it out like vomiting "donghyuckilikeyousomuchlikeishouldlikegirlsbutilikeyou"

- and donghyuck is like....excuse me

- like he heard it but ??!!!???!?!?!? his brain is yelling and screaming and he is like what

- mark is coming down to it too and almost taking it back but hyuck is raises his finger saying that shut up, let me think, so mark just stands there lowkey panicking

- "you like me?"

- "im sor---"

- "you, the prince, mark lee, like me?"

- "i didn't----"

- "shut the fuck up"

- and donghyuck just walks to him and kisses him but its not like boom lips on lips action but very careful and gentle and very very clumsy bc neither of them know what they r doing

- but yay! they both realize they love each other!

- also they know it wont be easy but........ they both agree that its worth a try

- and mark gets more of his morning snuggles

and im ending this here its almost 3am adios this was a ride i maybe will continue this someday who knows

Pairings: Lee Donghyuck (Haechan) x Reader (F)

II OF SWORDS: difficult choices, indecision, stalemate

Donghyuck could hear the birds chirp outside the window was well as the sun warm up the sheets of the bed on the cool morning. He hummed to himself in his half awake state before he felt the bed suddenly dip behind him. A warm hand came to rest on his shoulder that radiated through the white shirt as it gently shook him to wake up.

“Haechan, you have to wake up.” She cooed, softly from behind him.

He groaned as he hugged the pillow under his head tighter, “I fell asleep a few hours ago. I deserve to get more sleep before I go insane.”

“But it’s your birthday.” She whispered. “I wanted to do stuff to celebrate.”

“Exactly why I deserve more sleep. You should’ve wished me a happy birthday last night when I was away at midnight.”

“Fine.”

He could heard she was slightly pissed off by her tone and usually she wouldn’t have walked away so easily. He thought maybe she’d give him a break since it was his birthday after all. He heard her footsteps recede away from the bed once she got off of it which he smiled, sleepily at as he hugged the pillow again. He signed at eerily peaceful quiet, it seemed almost too quiet but he was too sleep deprived to care. Then he heard footsteps come out of nowhere, running toward him. Before he could do anything, he felt the whipped cream and frosting all over his face.

He shot up in that moment, whipping the cream out of his eyes to see the girl standing at the end of the bed with an evil grin on her face as she giggled. Which he’d admit, would have been kind of cute if he hadn’t been so ticked off. She turned around and darted out of the trailer before he could get her. He huffed before throwing the blanket off of him and running after her.

“Cosimia, I’m gonna get you back so badly!” He yelled at the top of his lungs as he slipped on his scandals and ran out.

As soon as he stepped out to go track her down, he was bombarded with all of their friends and co-workers standing right in front of him. He felt quite embarrassed about having cake all over his face, but luckily the frosting hid his red cheeks. He noticed Cosimia standing in the middle and in front of it all, now with a sweet smile on her face as everyone wished him a happy birthday and set off party poppers that littered the ground with colored paper.

He felt so small in that moment as everyone cams over and surrounded him. Sicheng even handed him a towel to wipe his face with to get rid of the frosting, which he did, happily. He felt overwhelmed by the amount of people coming over to wish him a happy birthday, yet again, while giving him a pat on his back or something as he cleaned his face. He really didn’t want to make a big deal out of his birthday or even celebrate it. It was the one time he finally got attention since they had gotten there though. It was just... harder for him to be happy about it with so many people.

He finally saw his friend emerge from everyone as they left, a small smile still gracing her face, “I’m sorry I had to wake you up like that. Everyone just wanted to say happy birthday to you.”

“And you couldn’t have just told me that?” He asked, getting the frosting and cream out of his hair with the towel.

“Have you ever heard of a surprise?” She scoffed as she crossed her arms.

“That was the intent...” Sicheng butted in. “But hey, you’re eighteen now! So as a legal adult, what do you plan on doing?”

“Wish to be seventeen again...”

“No, I meant are gonna go see an R rated movie since you can see one without your mommy.”

“You know how easy it is to sneak into a movie theatre? And don’t bring up my mommy.”

“You seem so bummed about being eighteen, usually most people can’t wait.”

“That’s because all the fun stuff got moved up to twenty-one. It’s just not all that.”

He finally handed the towel back to Sicheng, not without a frown on his face. He appeared upset about the fact that he was adult to them. They wondered why but he just felt nostalgic and started to reminisce on old memories with his friends and families. He knew Mark, Yangyang and Renjun had plans for his eighteenth as well as his mom and little siblings. Somehow, he completely forgot about it when Cosimia came along.

“I’m gonna go inside.” He said, quickly before turning back and going up the stairs.

“But we were going to cook you breakfast...” The girl pouted.

“It’s okay, I’m not hungry.” He shrugged.

The screen shut behind him with a creak. Cosimia and Sicheng both look at each other with concern. It was too obvious something bothered him beyond just the number by the heaviness in his steps. She excused herself to follow shortly after he went inside.

By the time she was back inside she could see him sitting down on the bed from the kitchen. She pouted to herself once again as she walked back into the room. She noticed there was still pieces of cake on the floor and bed he didn’t seem to care much about. He didn’t look at her when she came in, rather he continued to stare outside the window on his side. She sat down on her side of bed which was luckily still clean as his back was to her.

“What’s wrong?” She asked, softly and gently.

“Eighteen is not a great number, that’s all.” He responded.

She sighed as she crawled over to him to put her arms around him from behind in a hug, “You never learn, do you? I know there’s more to it than just that... It’s your family, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is.”

“You know you can back if you really want, Haechan. I’ve told you multiple times I’m fine on my own.”

“It’s hard to know what I want anymore...”

“Where are your tarot cards?”

“In the drawer, why?”

She didn’t answer him, rather just release him from her warm embrace which made him internally whine. She reached over to open and grab the box out. He started to feel an attachment to the cards, oddly enough. He would have never thought seeing her handling his cards, that were given by her, would make him so anxious. He could hear her shuffle the cards behind him, not very well by the little buffs and puffs. It kind of made him smile to himself as she was still horrible at shuffling.

“Fuck it.” He heard her cuss under her breath before she handed him a card over his shoulder. “The chariot; it means willpower, a journey and overcoming obstacles. That’s you when we first ran away. You didn’t really care about anything else and were focused on moving forward.”

She handed him another card.

“Death; You shouldn’t be scared of this one. It simply means profound change, letting go of attachments and endings in this situation. This is you now, meaning you are still deciding what to do but it’s a sign to let go of what was in the past and move on, whatever that means to you. You need to close one chapter to start another one.”

She handed him the last card.

“The hanged man; similar to death but different. It means letting go, breaking old patterns or habits and a metamorphosis. It’s a very clear sign to move on from the past if I ever seen one. Basically, if you take the guidance the cards offer you, you’ll have a change in whatever it be... You just need to close that chapter in your life you’ve been hanging onto for too long...”

He looked at the cards in his lap, taking in what the girl had told him from just those simple cards. He thought about it for a moment too before he threw the cards beside him.

“You chose those cards.” He scoffed.

“You really think I chose those cards without taking longer?!” She retorted. “The spirits chose them for you. When you say shit like that, you insult their credibility! They get mad and will get you back for it, dumbass.”

Once again, he could tell she was ticked off by her tone of voice in what she said. There was always that suffocating silence that came after that seemed to eat him inside too. Cosimia put the cards on his table, rather aggressively. Without a word, she moved away from him and open her own drawer. He didn’t look at her out of the guilt the silence made him feel. He could hear wrapping paper in her hands before she moved once more to hand him his gift over his shoulder.

“It was my mom’s...” She said. “The tarot cards are too. I hid this from you since the beginning and saved it. I thought you might be interested but maybe not.”

She left the trailer, not even sparing him a lot before she left to go get breakfast. Donghyuck was confused by the interaction. There was bitterness, but also sadness in what she said. He slowly started to rip at the green bow and the orange wrapping paper covered in little cactuses. When the paper was gone, the present was revealed to be a book. The pages were wrinkled, a cafe color with stains in them. It smelled like sweet wood too...

The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft by Kathryn Paulson.

He sighed to himself as he slouched even more. Staring at the book in his hands started to make him think... Maybe Cosimia was right about moving on... or the spirits, whatever it or who was. There’s a reason he followed her all the way here...

He set the book down on his bedside table. He promised himself he’d read it later to see what it was exactly all about. He’d gotten ready for the day and walked out to the dining tent everyone was at, at that time of morning. Everyone that wasn’t there for his little surprise earlier was now wishing him a happy birthday which made him blush a bit. When he asked where his friend was, they simply pointed to the smaller blue tent right outside where the cooking was done.

He walked into the tent, the place was crowded with a bunch of people just trying to cook. Luckily, it didn’t take him long to find her in the mess. It was hard to miss the red-headed girl with her hair up in a very messy bun with the blue tent and also the checkered blue apron.

She hadn’t seen him come in as she was too busy mixing something in a bowl. All of it made it that the much easier to sneak up behind her and touch her shoulders. She jumped in shocked before she turned around, ready to hit the boy with the mixing utensil she used. The most it did was get a little batter on him though.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” She muttered. “I was about to slap the shit out of you!”

“Sorry,” He giggled. “I was just wondering... if that breakfast you and Sicheng were gonna make me is still on the table or not?”

She smiled, relaxing a bit from a moment ago, “If you can go find him for me, then yes.”

“I’ll do my best, ma’am.”

“Wait, Haechan, did you open your present?”

“Uh, yeah... I did. Thank you too.”

“Just so you know, witches aren’t necessarily bad, so don’t be scared.”

He nodded, not taking it much into consideration. After all, he did believe witches were purely fairytale villains and something stupid colonizers made up in their own heads due to fear. Though, he guessed that wasn’t the case once he started to read the book given to him later that evening after his party... They seemed to be very real and not at how people typically thought of them as. He remembered one part in particular; they’re the ones to first read tarot and all and it suddenly made sense to him.

“Cosimia,” He called, noticing she was washing the dishes but turned around anyway. “Was your mom a witch or something?”

“Yeah, she was,” She nodded. “I think she was a green witch to be exact. I remember her loving bunnies a lot and going out to the meadows too.”

“Are you a witch then?” He asked. “Is that how you have your ability?”

“No, not exactly. I don’t practice so I wouldn’t call myself one so I’m just a psychic. I’d probably be one if she stuck around though. I believe she’s the reason I can see the future, prayed to whatever god or goddess that was for. It was like she knew.”

“Goddess?”

“Witches often believe in god and goddess. Greek, Celtic whatever or all of above. Women are especially sacred, if i recall correctly. I don’t remember much, I looked into awhile ago.”

“You could’ve become one without her. It even says I can be one. Didn’t you ever want to follow in her footsteps?”

“I did, for some time. People said I was a lot like her in many ways but I guess not in that... It just wasn’t for me, it was too much.”

“What happened to her?”

“Long story short? She was run off a cliff in Oregon. I think her car is still there too actually... I’ve never seen it though which makes me believe she’s still out there somewhere. It makes wonder why she left me with my dad. I mean, why would she want any of that for me?”

She started to talk in a hushed voice, mostly to herself. It made feel bad about bringing it up in the first place. He couldn’t even make out the words she spoke but he did still wonder what happened to her at the hands of her father. He took a deep breath with his eyes closed while gripping the soft, old pages of book in his hand that was oddly comforting.

“Can I ask what he did to you exactly?” He questioned.

“I think my mom was enough for today,” She mumbled. “But I’ll tell you one day, I promise.”

“I understand,” He nodded. “Whenever you’re comfortable, you can come to me.”

She nodded back with a small smile on her face as a response. It was quiet between them for the rest of evening. Donghyuck even fell asleep on the yellow plaid couch that Kun has given them while Cosimia slept in the back.

His head was laid back on of the arms, prompting a knot in his neck he’d find painful the next day. He seem peaceful there until he started making noises in his sleep that eventually progressed into screams. They were loud enough to be heard from the back room and startle Cosimia out of her slept.

She didn’t seem to waste time running out into the living room. She saw him laying there, still struggling in his slumber with the book in his lap. She rushed over and shook him awake while saying his name. She could feel the sweat on his tan skin as he shot up gasping for air. He looked back to find her there with a concerned look on her face. He just stared into her as he had a hand on her arm that was on him. It was sudden when she sat up and brought him into a hug, even playing with his damp hair to calm him down. He clung to her as she could hear his heart still raced in his chest, faintly.

“What happened?” She murmured.

“Nightmare.” He answered.

“Hmm,” She hummed. “Do you wanna tell me what about?”

“Your father. It was like I was you trying to kill us after he finally found us...”

She seemed to freeze for a moment after he explained it simply to her. She assured him it was just a bad dream before she helped him back to the bed. There was a dream catcher that she had gotten back in Arizona, made by the Navajo around the parts they visited. She had gotten just in case things like this had arose. She hung it above the bed before they went to sleep that night just in case the nightmares wanted to come back. Though, Donghyuck didn’t want to sleep much after that night...

a/n: i’m well aware it’s almost a week after hyuck’s birthday :(( i haven’t had time to write with what’s been going on though but happy late birthday to hyuck!!

IX OF SWORDS - anxiety, hopelessness, nightmares

Donghyuck eyed the new boy up and down with suspicion. He had just barely met him, didn’t even have a proper conversation with the other before despising him. It was jealousy that told him something was off about the other, too wrapped up to confess to confusing it with intuition. He didn’t like the feeling in the pit of his stomach either, it ached to the point it made him sick. He frowned in the way it looked more like a pout. Once done glaring at the boy, he looked toward Cosimia before gently pulling her to the side.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” He gritted to her, his face flushed red as he continued to frown.

“Like I didn’t know you were up all night!” She scoffed. “You needed it...”

“Fuck sleep!” He almost yelled.

Still the sudden change in his voice scared the girl into flinching away. He soften at the fact that she began to look at the ground, the smile fading into a frown. He frowned himself, about to reach out to her until she turned around and walked back over to Lucas which seemed to hurt him even more. Though, he took a deep breath and sucked up his emotions for the moment. He just had to figure a way out.

“So, Lucas...” Donghyuck started. “How come we haven’t seen you before? We’ve been here a month.”

“Oh, that’s cause you guys work out in the tents,” The other began to explain. “I set up the stage in the big tent for practice and I’m also security with Kun and the boys.”

“I don’t know them either.” He said rather bluntly.

“That’s because they’re always making sure people don’t get hurt and shit, Haechan.” Cosimia joined into the conversation, rather bitterly.

He looked over to her, still filling bad about what happened only moments ago. He felt a sense of pain in chest, like a miniature heart break as he saw her try to avoid his eyes that drooped due to his actions toward her. He really couldn’t help but feel the comment was somewhat directed at him.

“Yeah, I guess...” He mumbled, almost like in defeat.

Lucas was quick to notice the shift in atmosphere between the other two. He quickly intervened to make it happier and less suffocating for everyone.

“I was just showing her some of my stunts and stuff!” The tallest exclaimed. “You know, the ones I do in the big tent for the show... We both just had extra time to waste...”

“Yes, and maybe we can see you perform live one day.” The girl smiled while resting her hand on the biker’s bicep.

“I would like that a lot.” He nodded.

Donghyuck just stood there in silence witnessing it all. His sadness quickly replaced with the jealousy he felt before which had him fuming internally. He really wanted nothing more than to push the other away from her and stomp off. He hated how charming Lucas was, so tall, muscular with that smile of his and deep voice that probably had so many girls swooning over the guy. He was almost charmed himself and jealous of what the other had that he didn’t...

He couldn’t stand it... He crossed his arms with a sour look on his face as the other two were lost in each other it seemed like. He noticed Cosimia’s eyes, there was a special sparkle in them when she looked at Lucas. He felt his heart drop at that. The same sparkle she had for her that he had never had before he liked to deny. He hated Lucas, wonder why he had to appear out of no where. He felt so infuriated but at the same time to weak to fight.

“I’m... gonna go get ready...” Donghyuck mumbled before walking away from them.

He frowned as he walked with his head down. He only realized then how dead the grass was beneath his feet as it crunched. He found it harder to breath compared to before especially when he heard the girl’s voice behind him say something he couldn’t quite hear. It wasn’t long before he heard the bike start up again as well and drive off. At first, he thought they were gone until he heard someone run up from behind him. Cosimia grabbing his shoulder as a sort of surprise before she stood beside him.

“I thought you would’ve gone with Lucas...” He tried saying in the most unbitter way.

She shrugged, “You’re still my partner.”

He sighed as he looked at her, “I’m sorry for raising my voice at you... I didn’t mean to nor did I mean to scare you...”

She remained silent as they both approached their trailer. The boy immediately went into the back. She followed behind which he hadn’t expected, especially when he took off his shirt to put on another and turned around to find her in the doorway. He was startled and backed into the nightstand before he covered himself up.

She chuckled, “You know, you’re really cute when you get jealous... like a chipmunk but at the same time, it isn’t too flattering for long...”

“I’m not jealous.” He blushed while he put on his shirt. “I just didn’t like his vibes, that’s all.”

“You’re so...” She tried to find the word. “Transparent to me, Haechan. You should’ve gotten use to that by now.”

“Yeah, yeah cause of your psycho ability and spirits!”

“Psychic.”

“Same thing!”

She sighed at the streak of anger still left in his voice. His back turned to her as he rummaged through the draw of his nightstand for deodorant. She sat on bed with a sort of frown on her face, their backs facing each other as the boy continued to rummage.

“You know,” She started. “If you’re going to be jealous over Lucas, you’d have to be jealous over Choerry as well...”

“Choerry?” He questioned. “What does she-“

It kind of hit him in that moment what she meant. Cosimia had also been getting closer to the purple haired girl and her friends as well...

“Oh...” He mumbled, not really sure how to respond.

“It doesn’t really matter though.” She saidwhile getting up off the bed, ready to leave. “I’m not ready for a relationship right now anyway...”

“Can I ask you one thing before you leave?” He uttered. “Why are you encouraging the jealousy?”

“I’m not. I’m simply allowing you to be human.”

“What if I hurt somebody?”

“You’re not the type...”

They stared at each other for a few seconds before she disappeared down the hall and out the door. The rickety screen made sure to slam behind her, loudly like ever other time. Donghyuck stood there rather blank, still taking in her words as many things crossed his mind. He still continued to get ready for the day ahead of him, only this time much slower as he tried to think.

He met her at their tent after he was done and grabbed his tarot cards. The thing he hated the most was how much heat it collected. He would whine about it to her all day to which she would get annoyed at and snap about how regardless they were being payed to be there and that it provided a roof over their heads. He quickly shut up but it didn’t help his case that it was a lot slower of a day than it had previously had been.

He huffed to himself as people walked passed their set up. He wondered why at first until what he remembered what the girl beside him would say if he were to ask the question. She’d simply say they were scared because that’s how people got about the unexplainable and unknown. He looked over at her to see she was sweating, much more than he was but she didn’t complain or utter a word about it. His eyes wondered to the black lace that graced her arms to the length of her black dress.

She did that a lot, wore long and relatively dark clothing despite the temperatures. He pondered it himself, inside their trailer she only wore a white tank top with black athletic shorts. Then again, she only had been doing that recently... He remembered the scars, cuts and bruises he use to see all over her body. The scars still remand whenever she put on her other clothing though... He just wanted to know the back story behind it all so bad but he knew better than to pester her about it, despite the urge.

He found himself resting his head on her shoulder, subconsciously. He hadn’t been able to bother his friends with his small displays of affections like he use to and honestly, he was becoming quite touch starved. Cosimia was still weary on the whole touching situation unless she initiated it.

“Get off of me!” She groaned, nudging him odd. “You’re hot!”

“Is that the only problem?” He grinned with a teasing tone.

“You’re warm, how about that.” She scoffed.

There was a moment of silence between them as people continued to walk back. She had her arms crossed as she looked at random people.

“I’m bored.” He sighed.

“Tell me something new.” She hummed.

He huffed again before rolling his eyes. He rested his chin on his hands that were on the table. He looked at the people that walked by. The days were always boring, he hated it.

“What do think would happen if we died out here?” He asked her.

“We’re not gonna die out here.” She shook her head.

“I’m saying what if,” He pointed it out. “What would happen to us?”

“You said yourself that dead people are just dead.”

“Yeah, that’s what I think. I’m asking what you think. You’re the one into ghosts and all that stuff.”

“I believe in the summerlands.”

“What is that?”

“It’s like heaven, but that’s where everyone goes no matter what they did in this life. Then they wait to be reincarnated.”

He hummed as he nodded at her words. He hadn’t noticed the way he looked at her so endearingly much like a love sick puppy. He was very warm inside despite how cold she looked with her arms crossed along with her legs. He still admired her, even then.

Lucas could see this all from where he peaked around the corner of the tent, both unaware he was there in the first place. It was too obvious, Donghyuck’s crush on her, he should’ve known. He looked at the plate full of food in his hand he brought for the girl and relived earlier that day. He smiled weakly to himself deciding it was best to go away and not start anything in front of the customers.

VII OF SWORDS IN REVERSE - turn a new leaf, desire to reform, desire to change

The sky outside of the diner was a royal blue color as the sun slowly approached the horizon. It was early and the two had been awake all night, walking to the city. Sitting in the greasy diner was really the only rest that they experienced that night. Donghyuck felt exhausted. He felt exhausted all the time but not quite in the way he was currently. He never craved sleep so badly before.

“Ask me a question about your life.” Cosimia said as she leaned back in the white booth.

“Okay,” He mumbled, ignoring how strange the request was while he rubbed his heavy eyes. “When the fuck will I get to sleep?”

“On the bus,” She sighed. “And I’m being serious!”

“So am I.”

The bus wasn’t going to be there anytime soon which made the boy pout while he suppressed a whine in throat. While he hated long drives because of how numb his butt got, he couldn’t wait to get on that twelve bus drive even though he doubted he’d sleep that long. He felt somewhat on edge being there in plain sight while his friends and family looked for him. They should’ve left already...

The girl across from him let out a sigh before she abruptly put a small, black box on the table in front of them. He noticed the top had gold engravings on it that sparkled in the nice so beautifully that it was hypnotizing to look at. She took the lid off with ease which revealed sleek cards, just as black in the box covered in gold engravings as well. She put the lid to the side before she examined his reaction to the object. He was too busy staring at the pretty, gold drawings that caught his eye until he felt her eyes on him.

“Are those tarot cards?” He asked, finally looking up at her.

She nodded. She reached over and pulled the cards out of the box and put them in front of her on the table. They smelled brand new to him. He just wanted to stare at the sparkling gold on the simple black cards all day long.

“There’s so many different types of reading...” She mumbled, more to herself than Donghyuck. “Let’s do self-assessment.”

She picked up the cards and began to shuffle them. She struggled at it judging by the neat pile turning into a heaping mess of cards all over the place on the table. She wasn’t very good at shuffled which for some reason brought a small smile to his face.

“I need you to ask a question in order for the spirits to provide me with information about your current path.” She said.

“You believe in all that sort of stuff, don’t you?” He asked as he crossed his arms and leaning back, a small smile on his face because of how naïve she was. “Tarot cards, zodiac signs, ghosts, crystals having energies... Stuff like that.”

“Yes,” She admitted. “Don’t you ever get scared at the accuracy of tarot sometimes? Or just the dreams and feelings of something happening and then it happening? Things like that, you must get scared by because it happens too many times to be coincidences... Crystals do have energy, it’s actually what technology depends on and zodiac signs are more real than you’d think. It’s not just your sign, you have a whole natal chart that makes up you. I know you’re a leo moon so you’re very affectionate towards your friends and family, also very creative and childish but need attention, badly.”

“H-how do you know that?”

“All I need to know is your birthday for the most part. You were born on a day where the moon changed but I doubt you’re a cancer moon, I’ve seen how cuddly you are with your friends and you were always trying to make sure the spot light remained on you.”

He hated it. He hated the words that came out of her mouth and how accurate they were. He understood what it was like to be scared by accuracy of mysterious things. He didn’t expect something so unlogical to sound so logical when she said it. He hated how smart she was. He always liked to win in agreements and get the last word in. He frowned about it to which she smiled as she picked three cards that stood out in the pile.

“Now, question.” She demanded.

He huffed, “I don’t know, just give me the regular?

She rolled his eyes at him as she began to set the cards face down on the table. She put the rest back in the box which sat to the side. He found a gold drawing of an eye with the tarot suits staring back at him. There were little drawings of stars in each corner as well.

“Past,” She started by pointing at the card to her right. “Present and future.”

Cosimia flipped the cards over one by one until they revealed new drawings to him. He saw little words in gold print at the bottoms of each of them.

High Priestess, reversed, Ace of Cups and III of Wands.

“What do they mean?” He asked, looking up at her only to realize how minimal the space has become between them due to his eagerness to know.

Her eyes seemed to go gold even in the bad lighting of the restaurant. He noticed her breathing had become slightly irregular as well, her eyes darting everywhere trying to find exactly what to land at it. She just smiled while blinking a few times before she turned her attention back to the cards below them. There was no blush on her cheeks like he’d expect or sweat. She looked more startled than nervous because of him

“The High Priestess,” She jumped right into the reading, not a sign of unease like previously. “In reverse, she stands for lack of center, lost inner voice and repressed feelings. She wanted you to listen to yourself and voice your problems with what you want and don’t want. You silenced her for too long when it came decisions and staying true to yourself. Present, Ace of Cups represents new love, overflowing feelings and creativity. It symbolizes new beginnings and the start of emotion fulfillment. It’s a good time to open your heart to people and a time to unleash ideas you have. Lastly, for future, Three of Wands is about looking ahead, expansion and rapid growth. It quite literally embodies future as a card... It stands for the transformation of your dreams into a reality. Look forward and despite any obstacles, be dedicated to getting what you want and go at any length you must.”

Donghyuck’s breath hitched in his throat at the accuracy of the past card. He was unsure of the present and future one but didn’t like the sound of new love or the thought of overflowing feelings. He had never actually liked anyone or experience the roller coaster of feelings it had attached to it. Frankly, he wasn’t ready for any of that from how he’d seen his friends go through. He simply just nodded in response to Cosimia’s reading as he leaned back in his chair, slowly.

“Do you like to give these readings to people?” He asked in a small voice while he stared intently at the black and gold tarot cards that still laid in front him.

“Not exactly,” She shook her head as she slipped the cards back into the box before she closed it and slid it across the table to him. “They’re for you anyway, you’ll be good at them.”

“I don’t know how to read these things!” He frowned.

“There’s a little book at the bottom that tells you how to read them and I know you don’t know why I gave them to you, but you’ll need them.”

“I really don’t think I’ll ever use them but thank you for thinking of me... I guess...”

“Don’t be so bitchy about it. You’ll be using them in San Diego so we can get money to live on while we’re down there.”

“Excuse me? And what will you be doing to get our money?”

He hated the idea of work considering that was one of the reasons he decided to tag along with her in the runaway. In the least, he couldn’t be disappointed in it since they needed some way to get money. She had smiled at him from across the table as still air surrounded them. The only sounds being the humming of refrigerators and cup of coffee or two, hitting the counter.

She laced her fingers together on the table before she leaned forward. The lack of space between her and Donghyuck had made him internally panic. The eeriness of it all didn’t help either. Wasn’t she the one that didn’t like this situation earlier? She chuckled after she finally leaned back.

“You’re scared of me.” She mumbled.

“No, that’s not it!” He was quick to exclaim. “You’re just creepy... That’s all...”

Not to mention how she made him feel made him act differently than he usually would... He didn’t quite understand why his stomach ached, but in a good way, oddly, whenever she was around. Or how he wanted to turn into an different person whenever she was in sight... It was all new to him and he had no idea why it was just her and why then in his entire life.

“We give off that vibe sometimes,” She shrugged. “People are scared of the unknown and what they can’t exactly understand.”

“We?” He questioned.

“We psychics,” She answered. “Didn’t you want to know how I know we’ll be okay back at the beach?”

He bursted out laughing in the diner. He laughed so hard he almost fell out of his chair and onto the grimy floor of the place. To be completely honest, he laughed more out of fear and in hope that she was joking. She never said ‘sike’ though. He guessed it was good that it sounded like regular laughter rather than nervous laughter. The outburst had pissed off the half asleep customers that had just come in to start their days.

“What’s so funny?” She asked.

“Psychics aren’t real!” He shook his head with a panicked grin on his face. “No one can talk to the dead. The dead are just, well, dead!”

“I’m the type that can predict the future.” She informed him.

“That’s even less real! No one can know the future, it’s so unpredictable! Faith is nothing but a myth.”

“Free will is nothing but an illusion.”

Silence followed her words as the two just stared at each other from across. The customers found euphoria in the tranquility while things so small to them went on. It was clear they were both passionate, perhaps the moon they shared was at fault.

“Listen,” She sighed. “You don’t have to believe what I believe-“

“I believe you’re crazy and stupid.” He interrupted.

“And I believe you’re a bitch that has relationship issues,” She snapped. “It seems like you’re getting more comfortable with me, that’s good.”

Donghyuck remained quiet for once as he couldn’t find the words to respond. She was right about him having relationship issues that he needed to work out. He always tended to torment those close to him with how annoying he always was. Also, would cling to them the next moment which confused everyone. A very hot-and-cold personality. He didn’t like the fact that Cosimia could see that like no one else. He was scared of her because of this...

Her mood changed constantly, which made it seem like she had multiple side to herself. He wondered if her snap was because of sleep deprivation because it wasn’t like her. Maybe even the thing he had said was due to his irritability. Or even better yet, he was just hallucinating because of his sleep deprivation.

The sound of metal hitting the table had caught his attention and dragged him out of his mind. He noticed Cosimia standing up and paying for the cups of coffee she had been drinking all night. She dropped something on the table in front of the boy. He picked up the thing she dropped and look at it. It appeared to be an ID, more specially, a college ID. It had his face on it put with a different name. It looked so authentic but it was obviously a fake. He looked up at the girl.

“We’re dead, remember?” She tsked. “Let’s go, the bus is coming soon.”

He nodded before grabbing his own bag. As the walked out, he couldn’t stop staring at the name on the ID he held.

Peter Lee.

There’s no way she could’ve known his English name was Peter. He felt a random set of chills run down his spin which he ignored. He shoved the ID in his pocket and continued to follow closely behind the girl.

The bus was already at the station when they arrived. They rushed to get on, checking the IDs and tickets as the few passangers got on. He was shocked that checker hadn’t recognized him. He wouldn’t doubt their faces being all over the news right now. It was nice to be oblivious to the chaos you created in order to live in tranquility.

It was quiet on the bus because of how early it was and how many people got on due to the time. The sky had turned into a purplish-gray color that marked dawn. Donghyuck’s eyes felt heavier than before as he watched the scenery through his window. He hadn’t noticed himself subconsciously rest his head on Cosimia’s shoulder. He felt her flinch and her shoulder disappear from under his head. When he looked at her, he noticed she looked rather terrified at the action.

“Sorry,” He coughed. “The window is not very comfortable. Can I rest my head on your shoulder, please?”

“Sure.” She breathed.

She sat back in her original position, slowly. It didn’t take him long to go back to resting his head on her shoulder in hope of sleep. Though, he could feel how tense she was and noticed she was holding her breath. He opened his eyes and saw her hands gripping the handles of the seats so hard the color disappeared from her knuckles.

She broke.

“I have to go to the bathroom.” She told him as she shot up from her seat.

She rushed down the narrow isle. He watched as she stumbled into the back and into the bathroom. He leaned back once she shut the door behind her. He sighed at the situation. He began to wonder about what had just happened. Was it something he did? What even was that?
