Chapter Text
It’s been a little over 2 weeks since they started promoting Hot Sauce. That’s 2 weeks of really long days and very little sleep. If they’re not at a broadcasting station recording performances for a music show, they’re shooting content for other media outlets.
Donghyuck thinks it’s worth it. A part of him feels selfish - he’s been by Mark’s side since 2014, he gets to see Mark when they do 127 stuff, he could probably go upstairs to see Mark anytime he wants to when they’re home but it’s not enough, it’s never been enough.
If I feel this consumed by how much I love him, I wonder how Mark feels?
Donghyuck has seen the playbacks. It’s a lot. The way he gravitates towards Mark, how he looks at Mark, how he touches Mark - there’s no faking that. He’s not even doing it on purpose most of the time. Mark used to complain about all the physical affection he was getting, but 2021 is all about new beginnings. 2021 Mark is receptive to loud expressions of love. He must have missed being with the Dreamies, it had been a while since they were together as 7.
And Donghyuck thinks, perhaps he shouldn’t feel so annoyed that Mark is getting so much love but he really can’t help it.
