Mark ran a hand through his hair as he walked down the stairs, eyes heavy from just waking up. He rubbed the sleep out of his eye and walked to the dining table where the rest of his band members were already seated.
The minute he stepped in, the room got silent.
Mark didn't notice as he poured cereal into a bowl and went to the fridge to get milk. The rest of the boys followed him with their eyes, silently. It wasn't until Mark sat down to pour the milk that he realized it was eerily silent.
"What?" He said, looking confused before looking down, "Did I forget to wear pants again?"
Jeno looked smug as his tongue was in his cheek, leaning back into the chair, breakfast forgotten and phone in hand.
"What is it?" Mark asked again, "Why is Jeno looking so smug? What is going on?"
"You know Mark, I never really believed in karma until today," Jeno said.
"Jeno!" Jaehyun snapped.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Mark said.
"Look, Mark, the media is just-" Lucas tried to say but got cut off by Jeno pushing his phone towards Mark.
"See for yourself, Mr. Playboy."
Mark snatched the phone off the table and read the article.
Markhyuck on the Rocks?
A source close to the famous actor Lee Donghyuck has said that the actor and his musician boyfriend, Mark Lee are close to breaking up.
Donghyuck was seen going to his co-star, Dong Sicheng's house in the evening and stayed overnight. For all the latest updates on this developing story, click here to subscribe.
"What the fuck is Markhyuck?" Was all Mark had to say, almost slamming the phone down on the hard table.
"It's your ship name," Lucas said.
"It sounds like a fucking STD," Mark grumbled.
"What's the matter, Mark?" Jeno teased, "Don't like it when someone cheats on you?"
Mark rolled his eyes, "This article is complete bullshit."
"Oh yeah?" Jeno scoffed, "Then why do you seem so annoyed?"
"Because the media is annoying," Mark said, shoving his now soggy cereal into his mouth.
"So your boyfriend is not with Sicheng right now?" Jeno asked.
"He is." He said, trying not to let his voice falter. Truth was, he hadn't spoken to Donghyuck since the airport.
"And you're fine with him staying over some guys house?"
"They're co-stars and really close friends," Mark said, shrugging, "You wouldn't understand Jeno. Unlike you, I actually trust my significant others and won't drive them away with my stupid insecurities."
"Dude..." Jaehyun said, slapping his shoulder.
Mark could practically see the wound that he reopened as Jeno's eyes went from teasing to hard, his jaw tightened as he grabbed the phone off the table and pushed his chair out.
"Fuck you, Mark!"
"That was a low blow even for you, Mark," Lucas said, shaking his head in disbelief as he got up and followed Jeno.
"What the fuck happened between you two?" Jaehyun said, "You guys used to be so close."
"Ask him," Mark said, cocking his head in the direction that Jeno went.
Mark wished he knew.
Jaehyun shook his head, muttering something under his breath before following Lucas and Jeno. Mark angrily shoved the remaining of his food in his mouth before whipping out his phone and angrily typing a message to Donghyuck.

Donghyuck's head felt heavy; that was the first thing he noticed. His mind was awake but his eyes wouldn't open, heavy from the sleep.
It felt like there were drills on his forehead when he heard his phone buzzing on the table. He willed his hand to reach out and find his phone with his eyes still closed.
"Hello?" Was all he could muster up.
"Where have you been?! I have been trying to reach you all day! You are so lucky you don't have any parts to shoot today!" Donghyuck heard screaming from the other end of the phone.
He groaned out loud and hung up, not paying any attention that he had just hung up on his mother and manager. Donghyuck told himself that it was a problem he could deal with when he was sober.
"Morning, sleepyhead," He heard, his head throbbing with every syllable.
Donghyuck turned his back and stuffed his face in the soft pillows before realizing that he wasn't alone. His eyes snapped open and he shot out of the comfort of the bed, pulling the blankets to his chest.
Immediately he groaned from the pain in his head.
"Woah, Woah," Sicheng said, amused, "It's just me, Donghyuck."
"Sicheng..." Donghyuck said, his voice a little hoarse from sleep, "How did I get here?"
"Here," Sicheng said, handing him some pills and a glass of water, "This might help your little hangover."
"Thanks," Donghyuck said, swallowing the pills and gulping down the water, "I swear I didn't drink that much last night."
"You practically finished half the bottle by yourself, Donghyuck," Sicheng said, chuckling.
"Ugh!" he said, pulling the blanket over her head, "I'm sorry!"
"Don't be," Sicheng said, pulling the blanket off Donghyuck's head, "You were good entertainment."
"Did I do anything embarrassing?"
"For the sake of your pride, I'm not going to answer that."
"Can the ground just open me up and swallow me whole?!" Donghyuck groaned.
"No. I'd miss you too much," Sicheng said, looking at him fondly.
"Are you off today, too?" Donghyuck asked him.
"Yup!" Sicheng said, "Which means I can make you breakfast..brunch, technically! The bathroom is over there if you want to freshen up. Any requests?"
"What do you have?"
"Whatever you want,"
"Waffles?" Donghyuck asked, with a grin on his face. (I might have a minor obsession with waffles)
"Sure," Sicheng smiled, "With strawberries and whipped cream?"
"You're the best!"
"Come down when you're ready."
"Thank you, Sicheng!" Donghyuck screamed behind him.
Donghyuck reached over to his phone, already dreading the flurry of messages that he knew Mrs. Lee sent. He opened his messages, skipping over his manager's name.
"Mark?" He asked out loud, "What does he want?"
Donghyuck opened the message and was immediately confused.

Donghyuck immediately typed a reply.
To: Seagull
What are you talking about?
Donghyuck didn't even get to check his other messages before a call came in.
"Hello?" He answered.
"I thought the rumors of actors being dumb was just a rumor." The voice on the other end of the phone spat out.
"Mark, what are you talking about?"
"Have you not checked social media at all today?!"
"No. I just got up," Donghyuck said, his patience with Mark's hostility wearing thin.
"For fuck's sake, Donghyuck," Mark swore, "I thought you of all people after judging me so fucking harshly would be careful!"
"What are you talking about?!" Donghyuck almost screamed.
"You and your fuck buddy are all over every fucking website on the internet!" Mark yelled.
"What?" Donghyuck asked even more confused.
"You don't have any fucking right to judge me anymore!" Mark spat out, "Check social media and fix this! It's not my fucking problem."
With that, Mark hung up, leaving Donghyuck confused and slightly pissed off and how Mark treated him.
He closed his messages, ignoring everyone else as he opened Twitter.
The first thing he saw was a huge headline about him and Sicheng. He clicked on it and read through the article, trying hard not to scoff.
Donghyuck could feel himself getting angry at the fact that they just assumed that because he was over at his friend's house, that he was automatically dating him.
Donghyuck clicked on his notifications button and read through his mentions.
@NEOgotmyback:
Lmao, I told you guys @LeeHyuck-ie was a snake. So much for America's Sweetheart
@Jenonoticemeplz:
@LeeHyuck-ie is a fucking slut. Like he basically just used our sweet Mark. Selfish bitch
@DonghyuckLover:
lol, look at the haters saying that @LeeHyuck-ie is a slut just because he went to a guys house, but no one says anything when @NEOMark is literally fucking someone on the streets. #doublestandards #thatsthetea
@NEObae
What a fucking #snake @Lee-Hyuck-ie! How can anyone leave @NEOMark for @WinWinnotLoseLose? Ew fucking cunt
One after the other, Donghyuck went through his twitter mentions that were spewing hate at him. He didn't even do anything wrong but they just assumed the worst.
Donghyuck should be used to this by now, having been in this industry for over 10 years; but he wasn't. He hates to admit that the words they said to him just got under his skin and brought out the worst in him.
"Donghyuck? The waffle batter is-" Sicheng said, walking into the room with a smile on his face. The smile fell when he saw Donghyuck on the bed with tears in his eyes, staring at his phone. "Hey. What's wrong?"
"Have you seen this?" Donghyuck said, scrolling through his mentions.
"What?" Sicheng said, walking to Donghyuck and taking the phone out of his hands. "Oh."
"Yeah," Donghyuck breathed out.
"Donghyuck, this-" Sicheng started to say but Donghyuck cut him off with a teary-eyed smile.
"It's fine." he said, "I'm going to get showered and come downstairs."
"Listen, Donghyuck, this is-" Sicheng tried again but Donghyuck got out of bed, pretending to be okay.
"I'll help with making the waffles," Donghyuck said, taking the phone out of Sicheng's hand and bringing it to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
