"You're sleeping again," Donghyuck remarked.

Mark woke up and yawned but he just snuggled closer to Donghyuck. The man groaned.

"I told you, love, I get sleepy when it's not an action movie."

The boy rolled his eyes, "But it's a really good romance movie, it's a gay movie too."

Mark looked at the tv to just see the couple's kissing. The tension suddenly went up as the silence took over. They watch the characters make out on the grass until they stopped. Donghyuck hummed.

"Do you know how to kiss someone?"

Mark scratched his nape, "Well...yeah."

"Eh, nothing surprising--"

"I wasn't a good one though. I never liked skinship, remember? So, I never really kissed someone seriously."

The boy frowned, "Really?"

Mark chuckled, "Why? You want me to kiss you?"

"Of course, I do! Who wouldn't?" Donghyuck uttered and crossed his arms.

Suddenly, Mark turned Donghyuck's head to face him by holding onto his chin. The boy did nothing but to stare back at him. Mark looked at the boy's lips then back at the eyes he admired since day one. He switched between those before he was leaning closer. Donghyuck just waited for it.

"You sure you want me to be your first?" Mark asked.

Donghyuck rolled his eyes, "Duh. Is that even a question?"

"Then it'll be a waste if we'll break up," the man uttered.

The boy chuckled.

"I'm sure you'll be my first and last."

Mark smiled so he closed their gap and finally kissed Donghyuck on the lips. It was just a small peck but it was addicting. The boy frowned from it, telling the man that it wasn't enough.

"Kiss me for real, love," Donghyuck teased.

Mark chuckled, "For real?"

The boy nodded. Mark pushed Donghyuck down on the couch, holding his wrists above with one hand. The other one supported his weight.

"Just follow me with this, alright? I don't want to be the only one doing an effort," Mark said.

Donghyuck rolled his eyes but nodded. Mark connected their lips again and started moving his lips with Donghyuck doing the same. The man wanted to laugh at how cute his boyfriend is but he just deepened the kiss a bit more then started sucking on the lower lip.

Mark was lost at this point as he tried pushing his tongue in. Donghyuck didn't mind so he just opened his mouth a bit. Though he'll be teasing Mark for this, he'll be actually addicted to his lips from now on.

Day 699

"What are you frowning about?" Renjun asked.

Mark was looking at the bucketlist and was thinking about this one thing that lacked in details. Jeno was out buying foods for them and Renjun cried just because he wanted brownies, which is what he was mainly craving on. Jaemin, on the other hand, takes care with work.

Bomi is on his small bed on the couch, sleeping again.

"Donghyuck gave me a bucketlist to do. Then the next thing I should do was 'they both die at the end'."

Renjun furrowed his eyebrows but his face brightened up and grabbed his phone to search for it. He then showed a picture of it.

"That's a novel I read a few years ago," the boy uttered.

Mark furrowed his eyebrows, "I don't get it."

"Maybe he wants you to read it?"

The man frowned, "Why would he even let me do that? Also, I don't remember him reading a novel."

"Oh, come on, Mark. The novel was good anyway. It's worth reading," Renjun said.

"Fine. Do you have a copy I could borrow?" the man asked.

The boy shook his head and chuckled, "I actually borrowed it from my colleague."

"Maybe I should go and find one in a bookstore nearby," Mark said.

Renjun nodded, "I'll let Jeno come with you when he arrives--"

The door opened by a man who got a lot of stuffs in hand. The boy's expression brightened upon seeing his boyfriend. Jeno walked towards Renjun and gave a box of brownies. The boy pecked him on the lips and started opening the box to eat.

"Mark," Jeno called and threw a plastic bag to the said man.

Mark caught it and saw it was a bag of dog treats.

"Thanks..."

Renjun hummed, "Jen, can you go with Mark at the bookstore?"

"Why? You should've texted me if you wanted to buy something," Jeno uttered and carefully sat down by the couch.

"Mark needs to find a book."

The man furrowed his eyebrows at Mark, "You aren't the reader type."

"It's for Donghyuck, but I can go alone," Mark uttered.

Renjun pouted, "But it'll be a hard find."

The man shook his head and grabbed a coat, "Jeno needs to be here. You can't just stay here alone."

"Wait for Jaemin then--"

"Renjun, I'm fine. I want to go alone anyway," Mark said, "I'll buy you another box so you wouldn't sulk."

Mark exited the room and out of the building. The cold breeze hits his face as he walked down the sidewalk. He then arrived at the bookstore. He opened the door and found a few people inside. He walked towards the counter to ask for the book.

"Excuse me, do you have the book 'they both die at the end'?" Mark asked.

"Oh, I'll check if we still have some copies and...fortunately, we do have one," the lady uttered, "I'll go and grab it for you."

She walked out of the counter and went to grab the book. Mark just stood there, waiting for her. Well, that was easy. Renjun did say that the book was a hard one to find. He doesn't even know about the novel or the author and here he is, buying a damn novel.

"Here you go," the lady said as she returned and started scanning the book, "You're into novels?"

Mark hummed as he shook his head, "It's, uhm, for my boyfriend."

"Oh, good thing, you're in luck," she said before she put the book inside a paperbag and gave it to the man, "Have fun reading."

Mark thanked her before he exited the store. He grabbed the book inside and read the synopsis at the back. He was curious about it. Donghyuck knew he wasn't into romance but the book was something else.

"Donghyuck just keeps surprising me."
