By the time the two female girls finish buying all their necessities, Donghyuck's legs feel sored and sensitive. The fact that he still has to walk back to the hotel room didn't help. When the four of them walk back to the hotel, Mark and Joy, the freshman girl, are walking in front of Donghyuck, who is accompanied by Seulgi, Joy's roommate. Being the polite gentleman that he is, Mark offered to carry Joy's bags of necessities and she took that opportunities to attach herself to his arm. With a praise of compliment, they walked together in front of an annoyed Donghyuck.

"You see that right?" Seulgi whispered to Donghyuck. "To be honest, Mark is totally out of my league but Joy would definitely stand a chance."

"Hmm," Donghyuck didn't bother answering with words.

"If they get together tonight, can I sleep in your room? I don't mind the sofa," Seulgi jumps to conclusion.

"That's inappropriate!" He quickly answers.

"Shut up boy, I'm not gonna take advantage of you," Seulgi laughed. "I just don't want to sleep in the hallway. Our other roommate is sleeping with our other friend anyway."

"Do you think they would really sleep together?" Donghyuck stares at Mark's broad back.

"I don't know but it's always good to take precaution. Joy said that Mark had a thing for her. She also said that he just took care of you because you were sick. How are you anyway? Feeling better?"

Donghyuck didn't answer her. He was too enticed in his own head about the possibilities that Mark just took care of him because he was sick.  Of course, that's the reason. Why would Mark give me special treatment? I was sick. He would have done the same thing if other freshmen got sick too. 

By the time they got back to the hotel, Joy asked Mark to go with her to her room to some him something and Mark just obliviously follow her. Donghyuck watched the whole scene with disappointment and slight regret. He wished that he was as bold as Joy but he could never with the way he looked. Seulgi just clap happily to see her friend getting some action. She followed Donghyuck to his room. 

Seulgi took off her shoes and asked to use the bathroom. Donghyuck completely ignored her and walk to the veranda. He stared at the far distance, completely oblivious to the fact that Seulgi had already left after Mark came back. It was much quicker than anyone anticipated. 

"Shortie, don't leave the door open," Mark walked up from behind the freshman. "Be wary of strangers."

When Donghyuck didn't answer, Mark stared at him with intense eyes. It causes Donghyuck to look away before he melts into a puddle of goo. Donghyuck looked back to the room through the glass door to see that Seulgi had left and the room look like it did before. Their groceries bags sat on the desk facing the bed. 

"Nothing, just fresh air," Donghyuck finally answered.

"Ok, I'm gonna go eat your shrimp dumpling now," Mark went back to teasing the freshman. 

Hearing that, Donghyuck immediately ran back to the room and snatch the bags away from Mark. The older male chuckled to himself before grabbing the bag back and got out the foods. He prepared it for Donghyuck and they both sat on the sofa, eating. After a while, Donghyuck started to get curious as to why Mark is here.

"Why aren't you in Joy's room?"

"I'm not interested in girls who throw themselves at me," Mark answer simply as he slurped up his soup.

"But that's not what I heard," Donghyuck retorted. "Her friend said you're the one that came to her first. You just act like it's nothing when you're out in public."

"And you believe that?"

"Isn't it the truth?"

"Of course not. You shouldn't believe everything you hear. You should believe me instead," Mark sighed and put down his soup bowl. "Be honest, what do you really think of me?"

"A womanizer, a teaser, and a reckless person..." Donghyuck answered without hesitation.

"Well shortie, I was like that, but I've recently changed. I'm not lying to you, I promise. Understood?"

"Yes, sir," Donghyuck answer quietly as he held a spoonful of shrimp dumpling up to his mouth. 

Mark quickly held Donghyuck's hand and feed himself the shrimp dumpling. Donghyuck looked at him in shock. "That's your punishment for misunderstood my intention."

After all the foods had been consumed, Mark threw away all the trash. He sat on his sofa/bed and read for a while. When he looked over, Donghyuck had already been sleeping with a smile on his face. Mark smiles a little as well.

Over at Jeno's room, the party is tamed, to say the least. The drinks were pouring and the alcohol was passed around between five guys. Renjun and Jaemin are there along with two of Jeno's engineering friends and Jeno himself. Some of the sophomore that was invited ditch or had other priorities. Of course, Chenle was also invited but he hadn't come back from the shopping he did with Renjun. Although the said sophomore was presented, the freshman was nowhere to be seen. As the engineer students talked on and on, Jaemin and Renjun had a small conversation between themselves. 

"What wrong with you? You're quieter than usual," Jaemin shoulder bumped his friend. "Don't tell me you killed Chenle and thinking of ways to hide the body. It's bad moral to be a murder then become a doctor."

"Shut up," Renjun said quietly through his glass of alcohol. "I'll kill you first before I kill him."

"Calm down, my man," Jaemin tried to hold in his amusement. "Why are you getting so easily agitated?"

Renjun chose to ignore Jaemin and pour himself another drink. Just as the conversation ends, the door open and another sophomore walked in with a certain freshman. Chenle hesitantly walked into Jeno's room with his eyes on Renjun completely. 

"Oh, Chenle, where did you go?" Jeno asked.

"I found him wandering around on the beach by himself," The new sophomore answered. "It was fricking windy outside. If it wasn't for me, he would probably still be standing there by tomorrow."

"Had an out-of-body experience?" One of Jeno's friend teased. "Maybe you were just waiting for your goddess to take you."

The two of them sat down. Renjun scooted over a bit so Chenle could sit down in between him and Jaemin. Renjun shook his head at Chenle. "You crazy? If I tell you to jump off a cliff, you would do that too?"

"I just want you to know how important your words are to me," Chenle wears his infamous puppy face. 

"You're a real thorn by my side, you know that?"

"Are you mad?"

"What's wrong with you two?" Jaemin poked his head in the conversation, literally.

Renjun didn't answer so Chenle answered instead. "Renjun hyung is being a tsundere."

"Be honest with me, little boy," Jaemin said in a teasing voice. "Do you like my friend or do you like like my friend?"

Before Chenle can answer, Renjun's phone caught all their attention. It was buzzing to indicate someone is calling Renjun. The said sophomore stood up and left Jeno's rowdy crowd to answer the phone. He didn't go far. Renjun stood a couple of yards away from Jeno's room and answered the phone.

"What do you want?" He didn't mean for it to sound like he's annoyed but he is. 

"What you doing?" Mark asked on the phone.

"Having drinks with them."

"I can't sleep, why?"

"Maybe you're too excited?" Renjun smirked to himself. He knew Mark didn't go to the get-together because Mark wanted to take care of the sick Donghyuck. It was true to some extent. On the other side of the phone, Mark was about to said something snarky back but he looked over to Donghyuck's sleeping body and down in his lower region. He couldn't deny that he is a little excited. From the silent, Renjun could tell what Mark is thinking. "I'm hanging up, you blockhead. At least go to the bathroom and use your tone right arm and don't make too much noise. Don't stay up late! Bye now."

Renjun hangs up the phone and turned around, only to see Chenle's puppy face again. The freshman held up a piece of chocolate candy in front of his face. "Chenle is sorry."

"Are you ever gonna stop?" Renjun sighed.

"Chenle will still like you if you get fat. Back when hyung is in high school, hyung was fat and Chenle still like hyung," The freshman pouted cutely as he spoke in the third person. Renjun took pity on the poor guy and grab the chocolate out of his hand. Chenle smile a bit afterward. "I just didn't know how to get your phone number. If I asked you directly, would you give it to me?"

"Why would I give it to you?" 

"See? That's why."

"Fine, let me ask you. You think you're freaking special just because you listen to every word I said?"

"I never thought that. I just want you to know that your words are really important to me," The pouting appear again. 

Renjun, a er for cute things, sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll cut you some slack this time."

Chenle's pout turned into a smile and he casually slid himself nearer to Renjun, putting his arm around the older male's shoulder. Of course, he got his hand slapped away by the "tsundere". "So, which male reps are you rooting for this year?"

"That's a stupid question," The older male replied. "Of course, I'm rooting for my own department and Donghyuck."

"Why don't you support the rep from the engineering department?" 

"Why do I have to? He's annoying."

"Please, support me hyung!"

"No!"

"Please hyung!"

"No!"

"Support me, please! Pretty please!"

"Why you always force me into things?"

"Because if you support me, I will definitely win the title for you."

"Someone is conceited," Renjun scoffed. "Why do you need me to win the title?"

"You don't want to brag to your friends?" Chenle raised one eyebrow.

"Brag about what?"

"That's you're dating the university rep," Chenle answered cheekily.

That comment earned Chenle a kicked in the shin and a chase around the goddamn hotel. Renjun swore he would beat the crap out of Chenle as he chases the taller freshman down. Chenle happily took the beating if it meant Renjun would root for him as well.

The next day started out a little surprising in Donghyuck/Chenle/Mark's room. Donghyuck opened his eyes to the bright morning Sun, only to see that he was on the right side of the bed while Mark is sitting on the left side of the bed. In his hand, Mark holds an iPad. Donghyuck quickly look down to see that his clothes are still intact but Mark is wearing a different outfit from the one from last night. The older male wears a dark blue buttoned-up with camo green shorts. 

"What?" Mark looked over at the just woken up beauty. "Your ity is still there, don't worry. The bed is more comfortable so I was just sitting here."

Donghyuck didn't answer as he tried to absorb everything Mark just say. He actually moved his bum around to see if his ity is still there. Luckily or unluckily, it is.

"Get dressed, you're gonna be late for today activity," Mark got up from his spot and put the iPad on the nightstand. 

The freshman sluggishly got up and look around the room. Chenle's sandals aren't here. "Did Chenle came back last night?"

"Asked him yourself, I was sleeping," The sophomore said. "Go shower, I'll get you breakfast."

The younger boy did as he was told. The fact that Mark is getting his breakfast kinda gave Donghyuck butterflies in his stomach. He happily jumps in the shower to wash. While he's in there, Donghyuck also checked for any differences in his body, mainly to look for hickeys. Not that would find any, to his disappointment. Bad Donghyuck, no naughty thoughts... Maybe just one. Only one naughty thought allowed.

Donghyuck exited the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. He was assuming three things. One, Chenle wouldn't be back yet. Two, Mark would be out getting breakfast. And three, Jeno didn't have a reason to visit Donghyuck's room. However, all three of those assumptions were wrong as he sees all three male sitting on the bed, staring at him as he walked out of the bathroom. Chenle wore a bored face as if he saw Donghyuck before. Mark and Jeno look kinda surprised and they couldn't stop blinking. 

Chenle got up and walked to the bathroom. "I already came up with three explanations as to why you'll be limping and tire. And don't be too loud."

Donghyuck didn't have time to answer before Chenle walked into the bathroom and turn on the faucet full blast. The young freshman turned his attention back to the speechless sophomores. "Jeno hyung, did you get drunk last night?"

"Umm, no. You feeling better?" Jeno tried his hardest to stare at certain parts of Donghyuck's body, but it's hard not to.

The smooth caramel skin and only a towel on. It also didn't help that Donghyuck is still a bit wet from the shower. Although he doesn't want to, Mark forced himself to tear his eyes away from Donghyuck's exposed body and pull Jeno toward the door. Before he left, Mark told Donghyuck where he put breakfast at and close the door so the innocent boy could change. The medical sophomore couldn't come up with a good explanation so he just says the other staffs might need their help. 

"What's wrong with you?" Jeno pulled his arm away from Mark's grip when they got to the stairs. "Let me get an eyeful."

"Do you like Donghyuck?" Mark bluntly asked.

"Yes, is that a problem?" The engineer sophomore smiled fondly to himself but when Mark didn't reply, he continued talking. "At first, I didn't because he seemed like an awkward and kinda weird, but I learn to love those traits about him. I always saw him upset and I always cheer him up. Somehow, I end up liking him more than just a junior. Do you think I have a chance?"

Jeno completely overlooked the hard stare and silent treatment that came from Mark. The medical sophomore hates the fact that he doesn't have the power to stop Jeno right now. The other male is in control of his own life and he can like whoever he wants but Donghyuck is off-limits. However, there's no way Mark can tell the engineer sophomore off without revealing that he also like Donghyuck. "I don't know."

I really shouldn't be updating right now with a midterm coming up but I couldn't leave y'all hanging since I update my other fics twice already. Recently, I went back in time and listen to some old songs, like "Day by Day" by T-ara and "Growl" by EXO. I don't know why I delete them from my playlist.

Who seen "Go" MV? Mark is fine af. My bias!!!

Gonna go to sleep now!

FIGHTING!!!
