Donghyuck walked down the campus hallways, with Doyoung's and Mark's huge laundry basket between his  arms.

It was half past nine in the morning and the hallway was already teeming with worn out, hungry and whining students.

He walked past a group of girls and they spared a few glances at him, giggling and pointing at him. Donghyuck blushed and hid his face under the pile of clothes.

Just then his phone rang, Momoland's Bboom bboom chorus captured everyone's attention and Donghyuck had to struggle with walking quickly, keeping the balance of the big basket between his arms and pulling his phone out from the back pocket of his shorts.

"H-Hello?" he panted, putting the basket on a small table near him.

He decided to stop for a bit and get the call. As far as he knew, Mark loves long showers and he won't notice his small delay.

"Donghyuck! What took you so long to answer the phone?" replied a familiar voice on the other side.

"Lucas hyung! I'm sorry. I'm, uh, in a complicated situation right now" he said, watching the long and wobbly pile of laundry.

"Aha! So, our plan worked! You finally got Mark's dick-"

"Hey, I'm in a public place... d-don't say such things" Donghyuck blushed madly and looks around.

A couple of guys walked past Donghyuck without sparing him a glance and he sighed in relief. Knowing the university rules, if someone were to find out he's not actually a student and spent the night there, he'd be in serious trouble.

"Well, yes or no?" Lucas asked.

"No... well, you know I don't want to get in his pants first, anyway"

"Yeah, for sure. At least, did something else happen?"

Donghyuck bit his lower lip, he wanted to cry there and now, but he couldn't.

"I think... I think he hates me" he whispered, "Or even worse. He sees me as a silly little brother"

"Why'd you think that?" Lucas huffed.

"Y-you know... last night, I did what you told me to do. I slipped in his bed and well, I hugged him"

Donghyuck leaned against the wall and sighed. "I pretended to sleep, but then I think he woke up and tried to push me away. He fell on the ground and I pretended to wake up just then you should've seen him, he was so pissed!"

"Did you whisper something during your fake sleep, like I told you?"

"Yes, I did! But he thought it was a dream and now that I'm thinking about it, what I said last night wasn't that innocent" Donghyuck murmured. "I'm so embarrassed now... ugh, why did I even listen to you"

Lucas bursts into laughter. "But, Donghyuck! You're not innocent"

"Look who's talking" he muttered, offended.

"Okay, listen here. Doyoung hyung told me that you are not so indifferent to Mark. Why don't you try one last time? Wait. I got it. Here's what you're going to tell him; 'Hey Mark, if I could have you in my bed, I wouldn't need the cover to keep warm' " Lucas said.

"Hyung!!"

"Am I not a genius?"

"Poor Jungwoo hyung. I wonder how he can bear someone like you"

"But I'm just trying to help you, by the way, talking of Jungwoo, guess who is having a good time tonight and getting head?"

Donghyuck grimaced. "Yuck, really! But you're talking to me, your little brother!"

"If you and your lover boy had gotten your heads out of your asses earlier, you'd be fucking like rabbits now"

"Y-yah! That's n-not true!"

"Look Donghyuck, I love you so much, but I'm going to hang up now. You have to go to him and confess, then you can happily fuck ever after, or not. I don't care. But I don't want you to come back crying because you couldn't tell him your feelings for the million time. Man the fuck up, Donghyuck!"

"Luc-"

"...and I'm not telling this for you! I'm sick of hearing you talking about your sexual fantasies, or about his sculpted abs, his freaking biceps or how sexy he was that time you got there when he was doing pushups. Bye!"

Lucas hung up and Donghyuck stared at his phone screen for two good minutes. Lucas was right. Even if he was not sure Mark will accept his feelings, he will at least give it a try and finally get a good reason to move on.

Sighing heavily, he put his phone back in his pocket and started walking, determined to get in that room before his coward-self comes back and forces him to back away.
