sitting in front of their phone, all of them cheers once the live started. they just got their first win from the music show and all of them are ready to announce it to their fans.
"nctzens!" taeyong excitedly said, raising his hands in the air, "we got our first win!"
johnny lifts the trophy and showed it on the camera with a smile on his face, all of them then started cheering once again, observing how the views go up and the hearts too. meanwhile, jaehyun on the other side read the comment on the corner of the screen, "oh?" he makes a sound, "where's haechan?" he reads a comment out loud.
just then all of the hyungs looks around but taeyong is quick to inform, "oh, he was just changing," taeyong told, "because we just came back from practice."
moments later, someone arrived behind the camera that made the members let out 'ahs' and 'ohs', "he's here!" taeil excitedly shouted. it was the youngest of the group haechan, wearing shorts while walking towards the couch where the members are sitting on.
"here's haechan everyone!" jaehyun said towards the camera, "oops, looks like there's no space to sit now." the older teased but the tanned male just smirked eyeing a specific figure that is surely avoiding his gaze right now.
"is that so?" donghyuck replied in a teasing way back, "then i should just sit here?" donghyuck walks towards mark, sitting on his lap as he slings his arms around the older's neck burying his face while he's at it.
"as expected from our haechan-ie..." they all shook their heads and goes back to doing their live and talking to the fans.
to think that he'll stay on the older's lap for a long time, well predictably from mark, he pushed the younger away not too harsh resulting in donghyuck falling on the ground, and the tanned immediately let out a high-pitched scream—almost too dramatically.
johnny laughs going closer to the camera, "everyone this is not what you think it is," johnny said, "they're just playing around."
the live went on with the kpop group talking about their future schedules and them endlessly thanking their fans—reading the comments here and there.
and even though donghyuck is sat so far away from mark—beside jaehyun to be exact—he can still see what's happening on the other end of the couch with the help of the phone screen, he also didn't fail to notice someone playfully teasing each other.
yuta and mark? donghyuck asks inside his head, and lets out a scoff—of course not making it obvious.
he did try to ignore it in the meantime but not when they started laughing from their teasing which not only caught donghyuck's attention but the other members too. of course, they ignored it and continue doing what they're doing but the younger on the other side started to release quiet sighs and groans.
why can't mark do the same to him?
mark is surely not a fan of skin ships, but when he does all sorts of affection towards the older, he pushes him away, yet not with the other members. donghyuck pouts at the thought and for the whole live he'll only give small talks and jokes and that's it.
you know? he's used to mark rejecting his affection but today he just can't help but to feel jealous, especially when he saw mark all smiley while his hyungs teases him.
oh well, donghyuck thought and shrugs his shoulder. at the same time, taeyong claps his hands again while he looked back on his members, "we'll be wrapping the live right now everyone!"
everybody said goodbye one more time on the camera with donghyuck immediately standing up from his seat, walking towards where he placed his bag earlier. and then he heard the familiar teasing noises from earlier, again, "hyung, seriously..." mark said with a smile looking at yuta with the most intimidating look he can pull off but the older only finds it cuter.
the older only laughs it off and walks towards his bag.
they heard the door opening which they immediately shot their head towards the direction, "haechan?" doyoung calls out more like a question towards the tanned male.
"i'm heading out first, hyung." haechan said, eyes not looking back at the group.
but before the younger could even leave the room completely, doyoung shouts again—in a hurry, "manager-nim is looking for you though!"
-----
the dreamies are just peacefully sitting on their couch, some are scrolling through their phones while jisung and chenle play on the floor, using their game console as their swords, not until when someone barged inside their dorm and plants his face on the nearest throw pillow he can find.
it was donghyuck, honestly, they really thought the tanned male will walks in with a big and bright smile on his face because they got their first win but it's definitely the opposite of that.
just when renjun is about to ask something towards the tanned male, donghyuck abruptly shouts—but it came more muffle—catching all of them off guard.
"woah chill!" all of them said in unison. they didn't even get to congratulate the boy from their first win because they're immediately greeted by donghyuck's whines.
"what happened now? is this about your win or..." renjun asks, trying to see donghyuck's face but the younger won't even move his head even a little, "is this about mark—"
"yes! it's about mark again!" donghyuck cuts him off, his whines then fills their whole dorm while he kick his feet on the air, "why does he always reject my skinship!"
ah yes, it's about that, who could've guessed? renjun thought, sarcastically. they don't if this is going to be donghyuck's healthy routine, but if it is, they really need to solve this problem. the three; jaemin, renjun, and jeno look at each other, trying to find ways to calm the tanned male.
on the other hand, jisung groans when he saw the flat television screen flashed a 'you lost' text, taking his headphones off as he looks at the older beside him who's already looking at him with a teasing smile, "you lost again—"
renjun interrupted chenle's screaming by placing his index finger on his lips, trying to shush chenle. both of the youngest of the group loo at renjun with a confused look, but renjun only pointed at the whining donghyuck lying on the couch.
chenle doesn't even have to ask why his hyung is acting that way because he already has an idea why.
"oh, hyung!" jisung started causing donghyuck to halt from his whining, "manager-mim is looking for you—"
and there go donghyuck's whines again echoing the whole dorm. the younger looks at his hyungs with a raised brow, "that's my problem," donghyuck replies while tossing his arms on the air, "he told me to stop being so affectionate to other members—especially to mark..."
"that sucks!"
"why though?"
both jaemin and jeno said at the same time, their words aren't clear enough for donghyuck to comprehend what they just said so jaemin repeated himself once again, only for donghyuck to release a groan.
he pouts and hugs the throw pillow that is close to him, "because he said our fans might think it the wrong way."
"like... thinking you have feelings for mark hyung?" jeno butts in, and he received a nod from donghyuck.
"but it's true though," chenle quickly adds, looking at the tanned male with a big smile, "you do have feelings for mark hyung!"
all of his hyungs shooks their head and the same as jisung because chenle here is surely not getting what the situation here.
eventually, jaemin's light bulb of idea lits up making him jolt up from his seat and looked at the older one that is now having a frown on his face, "that's it!" jaemin lifts his index finger up, "stop giving him affection—"
"oh jaemin, you know i can't do that!" donghyuck immediately adds, placing his face back on the throw pillow, whining, once again.
"hey! you didn't even let me finish it!" the younger intentionally pouts while renjun and jeno fake a throw-up, "stop doing these all sorts of affection to him, and let's see if he'll notice it."
"and let's also see if it's going to last for a whole day." jeno teased, making jisung and chenle laughs behind him.
donghyuck surely hopes this will work and for mark to notice it because if it didn't then, he'll just making a fool for himself in this situation. oh the things he'll do if this don't work to the dreamies—but let's not worry about that right now.
