Mark already asked if Donghyuck was being too fast with their relationship. The boy was just a carefree person but he really does have so much feelings toward Mark that he thought it wasn't bad for them to kiss. Mark understands. He has the same strong feelings toward Donghyuck and he was sort of relieved to hear that their relationship might just go to another stage.

It's been days after that and the atmosphere around them became sweeter. Donghyuck was so sure that Mark's the only one.

So he decided to finally say it on stream. He isn't going to say Mark's name, he'll only disclose that he has a boyfriend, instead of a girlfriend. Donghyuck has never introduced his dates to his audience because he just doesn't want to but Mark's just too special so he can't just hide him forever.

That afternoon, Donghyuck visited the cafe for a bit after classes and told Mark that he still has his schedule to do. So, he's already infront of his computer and played the stream. While he waits for everyone to get into stream, he grabs his textbook that he'll be answering throughout the stream. It is a 'Just Chatting' day at this time of the month.

"Hi, hello, chat. Good afternoon! Or good day, in general. Another podcast day!" Donghyuck announced then read some comments, "I love how your English keeps improving. Thank you! Thanks for noticing. I'm really really trying my best to speak fluently for everyone. It's nice to see that you guys noticed my hardwork."

He continued to read comments then his smile widened at one. He rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"You're very cute today. Ah, minthyungie! But I am cute every day," he said.

Ah, Mark's watching.

"Okay. This is just going to be a short stream and I'm going to confess something to everyone."

Then chat started panicking with them jumping into conclusions which made Donghyuck to chuckle, "Don't freak out, Karens! Geez, I'm not going anywhere."

It took him a few more seconds before he looked at the camera.

"Guys, I have...a boyfriend!"

Donghyuck was happy about confessing about it. Just thinking about Mark makes him really fuzzy, "I don't care whatever you guys tell me. He really makes me happy. I'm just saying this because I'm proud to say it. And I don't think I'll be able to hide him from you guys for too long. Stalkers might be lurking too and I want it to be coming from me, not from other's Twitter posts."

Chat went crazy at the confession. The comments were mixed, some were happy for him but most weren't really accepting the fact too good. The boy didn't mind them. He was greeting everyone who just gives him a positive message. He even jokes with them. Donghyuck doesn't care about them. Although, he kept on getting notifications about people unfollowing him.

Mark was watching and he sees those. He was utterly upset with what's happening. He suddenly felt guilty about it even though Donghyuck seems to be handling it very well. But he feels like the boy just wants to put a smile.

"Hey, Sungchan? I have an emergency to attend to. I'll have to excuse myself for an hour," Mark told his employee.

Sungchan nodded, "Of course, hyung. We can handle this for a while."

"Thank you."

Mark didn't bother changing his clothing and just went out of the cafe to get into his car and immediately drove away. He doesn't want to see Donghyuck like this. It hurts him.

He was thankful to be able to arrive quickly. He just went into the building and made his way towards Donghyuck's apartment door. He didn't even care if he was still streaming, he just knocked on the door.

"Hyuck," he called out and immediately heard footsteps from the other side.

Donghyuck opened the door and smiled at Mark, "Hey. You're here...Why?"

The man wasn't able to turn his thoughts into words so he just immediately hugged the boy which caught Donghyuck by surprise.

"Mark?"

"Ah, I'm sorry."

The boy already why he said that. Donghyuck pulled Mark inside and told him to wait for him. He was still streaming and thought about ending it in a rush. Mark sat on the edge of the bed and watched the boy.

"Uhm, I'll have to cut this very short. I have an emergency. Sorry, guys! I'll be streaming tomorrow instead! Take care!" Donghyuck said before he ended the stream immediately.

Then he goes to hug Mark, pushing him down so they could cuddle while lying on the bed. They stayed closely together until they could feel their heartbeats.

"What are you sorry about? You shouldn't apologize," Donghyuck said.

Mark sighed, "I just feel bad that they're not taking it good. I've seen the comments and you're even losing followers...I know how important your audience is to you."

The boy pushed himself up and looked down on the man, "Really? You think my priority are my followers? Viewers? Those donations? The fame?"

"Well, they've been supporting you all throughout your journey. I don't want to see that they're badmouthing you too. You aren't the words they describe you," Mark uttered.

"Hm, exactly. So why would I give them my time and effort? You're more important, Mark. I don't care about everything if I lose them. I have you," Donghyuck said, smiling sweetly, "You don't have to worry."

"You don't have to lie, Hyuck--"

"I'm not. You're the last thing I'd want to lose, Mark. Just not you."

The man stared at him, seeing how sincere the boy is. He just sighed and pulled him into another hug. Donghyuck softly laughed and kissed Mark's head, rubbing his back.

"I like how you're the one who's emotional between the both of us," the boy said.

"I just really love you that I can't watch you suffer seeing those," the man uttered.

Donghyuck cooed, "I love you too that I'd give up on career if it means I'll get to have you forever."

They stayed there for minutes. Comfortable in the quiet and warm feeling. A feeling that would make Mark sleep. Donghyuck combed his hair back.

"You still have work, love," Donghyuck said.

Mark nodded, "Yeah, I should go. I was just about to sleep."

The boy laughed, "Sleep over here again. We'll play a chill game. Or movies!"

The man stood from the bed and nodded at the boy's offer, "Sure. Whatever you want."
