[day of the summer party]

donghyuck was busy staring at the empty seats while they were rehearsing. they were inside the venue where they'll meet their fans, and of course, perform their own songs.

"you seem to be in deep thoughts. is everything alright?" he looked at his side to see his boyfriend approaching him.

he gave the older a slight smile as the other pecked his forehead. "i'm fine... it's just that... there are a lot of memories that happened here..." donghyuck chuckled.

mark raised a brow, "memories?"

donghyuck shot him a glare. what does mark mean? he forgot the place where he confessed his love in front of their fans? "mark lee, i—"

"i was just kidding!" mark started to run when donghyuck charged towards him. "yah, lee donghyuck!" he was laughing while his love was chasing him. he started to slow down when donghyuck started to slow down too. "are you okay?" he then approached the younger that was lying down on the floor.

the younger was trying to catch his breath. "n-no..."

"come on, stand up." donghyuck raised his hands to reach mark's. he stood up and stretched his arms.

"but seriously though... there were a lot of people here..." donghyuck smiled unknowingly. "they were screaming so loud... and cheering for us..." he looked at mark who was also looking at him.

"and the other fans who couldn't come were confused because of yukhei and renjun." mark laughed.

donghyuck could only roll his eyes, "i'm glad though... and happy... because their love for us didn't change a bit." he smiled.

mark nodded and placed his arm around donghyuck's shoulder. "and here we are now... more than a year later..." he sighed dreamily.

mark suddenly remembered something.

"okay loverbirds, hate to break your bubble but taeyong hyung is already looking for you." ten came from the backstage, breaking mark and donghyuck's moment.

"wah, ten hyung why are you here?" donghyuck chuckled, although he knows the reason why.

ten rolled his eyes, "because—"

"yes, yes, i know... because trio is neo's brother group." donghyuck chuckled, blocking ten's answer. "you told us several times already."

"come on now." ten laughed.

mark held the younger's hand before following ten.
