______________________________

Hands grasping tightly around the last snack size bag of Doritos, Mark's hood pushed his hair over his eyes. Grumbling absentmindedly to himself, Mark shuffled through the halls of the dorm with the aid of his purple fuzzy socks. They were the perfect gift from Jungwoo; none of the other members could steal them and claim ownership

Shuffling through the empty dorm with the back of chips in his hand, Mark did a fancy little spin into his room,  kicking the door shut with the back of his heel.

Mark looked over his shoulder at his closed dorm door, making sure that it was, in fact, closed. After confirming that his eyes did not deceive him, Mark smiled smugly, flopping onto his bed before crawling under his covers. The cold winter air was seeping into the dorm and Mark hated the cold weather.

Pulling his thick layer of blankets over his body and then the rest of his head, Mark propped himself up on his forearms and pulled out his phone. It was the precious time that Mark had alone to himself, and he was going to be damned if he wasn't going to spend his time aimlessly watching YouTube.

With the stress of intense schedules and the upcoming comeback for their title track 'Simon Says', Mark barely enough time to shut his brain off. The mindless act of watching funny videos was a nice relaxer for him. So he shifted his bag of chips in front of him, typing in NCT, taking the time to pop open his snack while waiting for the results to load.

Scrolling until he found their latest music video 'Regular', Mark clicked on the video. About a minute in, the 127 member realized that he was analyzing their dance moves and his own rapping, letting out a sigh before turning his phone to exited out of the video. Even when he tried to relax, his brain wouldn't let him. It seemed as if he had been working for such an extended period of time that he couldn't remember what having free time entailed.

Sucking in a deep breath through his teeth, Mark scrolled down the recommended videos afterwards. More music videos; some other guitar tutorials recommended from his watch history; some interviews. Just as his thumb was about to click on Red Velvet's 'Bad Boy' his eyes caught something just peaking out from the bottom of his phone screen.

Narrowing his eyes, Mark scrolled down just a bit more to read the title and his eyes widened a bit in surprised and piqued interest. '15 Minutes of Haechan's Aegyo'. That was the title. Mark pondered clicking on the video for just another moment before the video was loading. Haechan always managed to make him laugh and feel better.

Turning to lay on his side, Mark got comfortable and munched down on one of his chips.

And, halfway through the video, Mark's cheeks were burning from how widely he was smiling. Haechan was so cute! He did all of it so effortlessly whereas when Mark was asked to do it, it came off as awkward and not cute at all. He wasn't surprised that so many people asked for Donghyuck to do aegyo, it was like an instant boost of serotonin.

Giggling a bit to himself as Donghyuck completed another aegyo song on a variety show, the boy completely missed the door popping open just enough for someone to poke their head inside.

"What are you giggling about?"

Mark flinched at the voice, throwing his phone under his covers and shot up with his eyes wide, Donghyuck struggling to hold back a smile as he took in the other's flustered state. "N-nothing, um, you're back?"

"Yeah," Donghyuck said slowly, walking further into the room and Mark knew that the younger boy wasn't going to drop his embarrassment so easily. It was perfect blackmail to use if he found out. Mark would do whatever he could to stop Donghyuck from knowing he was watching his aegyo videos; the younger already had enough of an ego.

A silence ensued between the two and Donghyuck pursed his lips together, shuffling closer to Mark with his hands clasped behind his back. "So...what were you watching?"

"Just-," Mark swallowed nervously and Donghyuck's smile seemed to grow, the younger fully understanding the importance of this information and how much it could benefit him, "-Just a funny video."

"Oh, so you wouldn't mind showing me?" Donghyuck declared happily, plopping himself down next to Mark and gesturing for the older to open up the phone that was now tightly clutched in Mark's hands. "I'm sure I'd find it funny too."

Mark's ears burned a dark hue of red and he shook his head, "No. No you wouldn't."

The younger boy's eyes narrowed and Mark felt his heart thud nervously against his chest. Another moment of silence, and Mark let out a strangled scream as Donghyuck threw himself at the older, his hands scrambling for the phone whose contents could hold for a very awkward moment.

Mark squirmed viciously as Donghyuck crawled on top of him, trying with all of his might to get the phone out of the death grip that Mark's fingers held over it. The older of the duo bent his legs, kicking and trying furiously to push Donghyuck off of him. Settling one of his feet on Donghyuck's chest, Mark pushed with all of his might and sent the younger toppling off of the bed with a yelp.

Now was his chance, and Mark took it. Scrambling off of the bed, Mark lunged for the door, pulling it open and dashing out into the dorm hallway. He could hear Donghyuck yell behind him, the older running into the kitchen and around the table. Occupying two seats were Taeyong and Johnny, eyeing him with extreme suspicion.

"What are you-"

"Mark~" Donghyuck's voice sang out and Mark felt chills run down his spine as the younger walked into the kitchen, his eyes set with determination. Taeyong and Johnny effectively shut up and looked back and forth between the two. Johnny took a sip of his coffee.

"Donghyuck just let it go," Mark pleaded and walked around the table as Donghyuck circled the other side. "It's not important."

"Says the bruise on my back!" Donghyuck shouted in complaint, pointing his finger accusingly at Mark before gesturing to his back. "It's personal now Markie dear."

Mark felt his soul leave his body. There was no way he could escape this, and by drawing this out he was just making it so much worse. What did he have to hide? He was just appreciating how funny the other way, not the cute aspect of it. He took a breath and held his phone out, shutting his eyes tightly.

"All of a sudden?" Taeyong exclaimed from the side and Mark felt Donghyuck snatch the phone from his fingers, squinting his eyes open only a little to gage the other's reaction. Donghyuck quickly put in the other's passcode - he always knew what Mark's passcode was - and paused.

His face turned blank and Mark felt his stomach turn, his ears burning more as Donghyuck turned off the phone, looking away as he gave it back to Mark. Mark took it and slid it into his pocket, an incredibly awkward silence filling the kitchen. Donghyuck's cheeks and ears burned a light pink and the other looked at Mark for a moment before scratching the back of his head.

"How about we don't mention this again."

"Deal."
