chapter sixteen

┗━•❃°•°❀°•°❃•━┛

waking up five in the morning, haechan didn't know how many hours or how many minutes he had slept. all he knows is they took an hour before they finished.

"wake up, baby." mark woke him up.

haechan assumed that mark had just finished showering since he smelled his good fragrance, he was really addicted to it to the point he was looking for it everyday.

"i still want to sleep..." haechan groaned and pulled the comforter up, covering his entire body.

"that's your fault for having a sex with—"

"you and your vulgar words, shut up!" he hissed and threw a pillow on him which mark effortlessly caught.

"i'm just speaking facts," he chuckled. "get up now, love. we can't skip the sunrise."

mark went under the blanket and went closer to haechan that was now pouting. mark couldn't help not to smile and pampered him with soft kisses.

"you can stay here though, don't push yourself if your body can't take it." mark said softly.

"but i want to go with you." haechan said, pouting.

"then get up now," and he softly brushes his hair. "did i go hard last night?" he smirked.

"it's worth it though," he giggled.

"we can do any rounds when i come back." and he wiggled his eyebrows.

"really?" his eyes widened.

"dada! daddy!"

mark pulled the blanket down a little since haechan is still naked and has a boxer only, there they saw the kid struggling to get up at the bed.

"daddy..." marco asked for help, pouting.

he let out a laugh and got off on the bed, instead of helping him up at the bed, he just carried him up.

"you really woke up early, huh?" mark said and pinched his nose.

"because you said you will buy me a lot of cookies when you come back." marco said happily.

"aren't you sad? because i'm leaving?" the older one asked.

"i'm sad, but you promised that you will come back, so i'm happy also." he giggled.

"you're so cute!" he whined and hugged him tight which made the kid giggled. "love, dress up already. we're just gonna knock next-door." mark reminded as he looked at haechan who's now struggling walking.

"fuck off." he mouthed which made mark laughed.

timing that after haechan finished dressing up, the others had already arrived and they were now waiting for doyoung since he also wanted to drop them off.

the bottoms are gathered while their partners are busy fixing their cars, their bodies are hurt as heck and still want to sleep. they didn't even have any energy to speak. until their eyes shifted to the ball that stopped in the middle of them.

they suddenly looked at each other, probably telling each other using their eyes to pick it up but no one did.

"my back hurts." they said at the same time.

they suddenly looked at each other again and looked away afterwards, getting embarrassed.

"someone had fun last night, huh." the tall bunny said and picked it up instead before handing it to the kids.

"we've been waiting for you." taeyong said.

"if you guys had fun last night, so i did." he smirked.

"i still can't believe you're a top." ten said, rolling his eyes.

"i can't also believe that you're a bottom." and he sticks his tongue out.

"do i look not?!" the thai male hissed.

and before they started to argue again, their partners already called them to leave since the portal was probably open right now. it might be close if they missed the sunrise.

doyoung was with haechan and mark, he was at the backseat together with marco who's telling a lot of stories to his uncle doyoung.

"come back as soon as possible, please." haechan said softly.

"noted, baby." mark said and leaned closer for another kiss.

"the portal will close in a few minutes, go now." doyoung told them too.

"bye, love. bye, baby." mark said as he waved at them.

"daddy, my cookies!" marco said who was inside the car since haechan didn't let him come out.

"yes, baby." he smiled as he walked away.

they entered the portal already and a few minutes later, it suddenly disappeared. they all now decided to leave already using their partner's cars. they can drive so they won't struggle.

but before going home, they eat breakfast first at the fastfood chain nearby. all of them are already hungry since they were in a rush earlier, that's why they don't have time to even eat for breakfast.

while in the other universe, they arrived at their universe, wearing the clothes that they used before when they went back to the world. their clothes usually changed whenever they went in and out at the portal.

the clothes you used when you entered the portal to the world, are also the clothes you still had on when you came back. it's also the same when you're in the world.

"when are you guys going to start the plan?" jeno asked calmly as they waited for the guards to arrive.

"today." jaehyun and mark said at the same time.

"that's what i like." johnny said and let out a chuckle.

"i'm gonna talk to my dad tonight," mark said calmly. "so, i don't think i can sleep at the headquarters tonight."

"you don't even live there so you don't need to inform us." jeno said, teasing him.

"fuck you." mark hissed and rolled his eyes.

until the guards arrived that's why they stopped talking about their plans and acted like how they should act. they ride the horse and mark leads the way.

they didn't even take long to arrive, jaehyun just greeted the king before telling him that he will go home that's why he can't take long here at lee kingdom.

"how's your so-called 'vacation', son?" his father asked.

it was just the three of them but they were eating at the long table, with many foods in front of them and calmly talking. very different when they need to speak very formally as a king, queen and prince.

"it was... fun." and he smiled before going back to eat.

"i'm happy to hear that you're enjoying life outside our universe." his father said calmly, smiling.

"did you make any friends there, son?" his mother asked, mark smiled a bit.

a family too, mom.

"yes, mom." he nodded. "i also met some kids," he smiled.

"i thought you were not into kids?" his father asked curiously, mark let out a chuckle and gently wiped his lips using the table napkin.

"i thought i was," mark said calmly. "remember doyoung, dad? he has a flower shop now and one time when we visited him, i saw these kids stealing flowers." he chuckled as he remembered it again.

while his parents are just listening to him, has a smile on their faces. mark usually not talking about his life and if he has, it was just a bit. where it's just enough to let his parents know that he's doing fine.

now, he's getting more talkative and his parents love it. they are also getting more curious about those people that mark is talking about. especially the kids.

"what's his name though?" his father asked.

"his name is marco," he said happily. "and the other one is jaeyu, his cousin."

"marco is close to your name, huh." he chuckled. "looks like you're really destined to meet that kid." his father said.

"yeah, if i can just bring him here. i would really do. he's so cute and so much adorable, dad. he's smart too!" he said proudly.

"if you really want us to meet him, we can let him though." his father said that made his son stop.

"hon, the rule hasn't been released yet." the queen said.

"oh, it is?" and he acted shocked.

"what do you mean, dad?" mark asked, getting excited and nervous about it.

"well, when you guys are gone. the four kingdoms decided to let the selected people enter our universe." he said proudly, while mark's mother was just nodding. "it will be announced this week though."

"you did not..." mark said surprisingly and covered his mouth.

"yes, i did." he chuckled.

"dad, thank you!" and he immediately rushed to him.

imagining his loved ones entering the universe where he lived and grew up, making his heart explode. introducing them to his family and exploring them around.

oh, how mark really wanted to do it.

"and dad..." mark said and cleared his throat. "since we're already complete, i want to say something..."
