"are you okay, mark-hyung?" jeno asked. the mentioned male opened his eyes and looked at jeno. mark tiredly rubbed his eyes and replied "not really but it's just four more days. and i can't lie, i love what we are doing, it's just so tiring after a month."

jeno nodded in understanding "you know, i would've given up by now if it wasn't for the fact czennies love us. don't get me wrong, i love dancing and rapping but the thing that keeps me going are czennies."

"i love them." jaemin chirped in and mark laughed.

"we know jaemin, you never shut up about it." the eldest of the three said. jaemin gave him and offended look and asked "oh, am i not allowed to express my love for my fans anymore?" before doing an aegyo. jeno visibly cringed and pressed hard onto the other's leg which he was still massaging. jaemin slapped the boy's chest, exclaiming "ow, stop, nono!"

"you guys are something different.." mark trailed off. looking at the two bickering reminded him of donghyuck. he missed the boy but he knew hyuck needed his rest. he was with renjun right now which got mark thinking. him and donghyuck had been hinting for a while now, maybe it was time soon to tell them. he decided to ask the boy tomorrow at the practice when they should tell the other members.

jeno and jaemin kept bickering and it gave mark a headache so he returned to his and jaemin's shared room. laying on the bed, he got his phone out and wrote some lyrics before falling asleep.

the next day at their practice mark proceeded with his plan and pulled donghyuck to the side. the latter was still slightly out of breath.

"what is it, hyung?" donghyuck asked and gave mark a tired smile. the older male smiled back and questioned "when do you want to tell them? you know, about us." mark questioned. donghyuck blushed.

"let's do it after the final show. but i think renjun knows. yesterday when we were alone together he asked me out about you. i didn't really tell him anything but he's smart enough to figure it out." he told his mark. he was scared the older male would be mad but mark just nodded.

"i don't mind it. the less people are surprised the better." he commented and the younger giggled. he stoop up and said "your mother wouldn't be surprised either. now come on, we got to get back." and walked back to the others.

"my mother? what??" mark ran after donghyuck but the latter just laughed and looked at him as to say 'i'll tell you later'.

the practice day passed fast and today was the day of their first 'last' concert (a/n: pls bear with me). the atmosphere was focused and everyone wanted to give a good show. mark got jisung and chenle some snacks and renjun ate a bit as well. but jeno was a problem, obviously he was hungry but he did not eat anything. in the end mark got jaemin to convince jeno to eat an apple so the boy would not faint on stage.

the concerts, even though very hectic, were a success and by the end of the last concert all the members sat down on the floor. mark was surprised as he was the only one left standing. his members looked up at him and started singing 'puzzle piece'. needless to say mark could not help but cry at the sight of his members and fans singing together for him. he ended up crying in donghyuck's arms as the boys did a big group hug to comfort their leader. he thanked them and czennies and the concert ended. mark was still wiping his tears after the concert ended.

they drove back to the dorms. none of them felt like celebrating though, most of them just directly went to bed without even unpacking. same for mark and donghyuck, the two finally being able to cuddle again.

"let's tell them tomorrow." donghyuck whispered as they laid together in marks bed, the lights turned off already. mark just hummed in agreement, he was to tired to speak or even move. donghyuck pecked his forehead and the two quickly fell asleep together.

when they woke up it was already afternoon and the sun was shining through the blinds of their room. mark was the one to wake up first but his movements woke up donghyuck as well. mark cooed at the younger male's puffed face. they stood up and mark brushed his teeth. he pulled the confused donghyuck with him, the young man whining sleepily.

"what's going on?" donghyuck asked as mark gave him his own toothbrush. he mumbled "brush your teeth, i want to kiss you."

donghyuck giggled at him "you are quite something, mark lee." but he did quickly brush his teeth so mark could kiss him. he hadn't even dried his mouth yet when he already felt mark's lips on his.

"calm down!" the younger boy laughed and pushed mark away who was just looking at him with heart eyes.

"stop staring and let's unpack." donghyuck told him and mark obeyed.

after they finished it was already later afternoon and mark got hungry so they went into the living room. chenle noticed them and loudly exclaimed "oh, look who's alive!", making donghyuck jump.

"i'm hungry." mark said and opened the fridge which was luckily filled. donghyuck meanwhile sat himself down next to jaemin and chenle who were watching jisung and jeno playing game. renjun was also eating so mark sat himself down next to the chinese.

all the members were still in pyjamas and so when the door rang nobody really wanted to go. in the end renjun sighed and looked down at his empty plate before saying "fine, i'll go."

"actually we have to tell you guys something." donghyuck said, exchanging a look with mark. the elder nodded as support. donghyuck looked at the others who were waiting for him to say something. from donghyucks tone they knew it was serious. chenle shifted on his chair and asked with wide, scared eyes "what is it hyung?"

donghyuck gulped and then hesitantly said "mark and i, well... we are dating."

"what??" they heard a voice from the door and all members head turned around to johnny and taeyong who were standing in the entrance, a tiny renjun behind them.
