Love shot

Genre: Tooth rotting fluff Words: 8.590 Prompt: Hockey Player Jeno feat. best friend Jaemin, love letters? Warnings: none..?

A/N: This was written for @woahhwa for the @kafenetwork kafeholidays event! Hi Ru! I had so much fun talking to you when tumblr wasn’t eating my asks! I hope you liked this and it incorporates some of the things you said you liked. Also. Warning: I know absolutely nothing about hockey so please bear with me :] As always thank you to @burtonized for always listening to my rambles and telling me that my writing doesn’t suck. Also literally no one asked for me to put Johnny into this but I am a simple woman and miss him and his gorgeous hair. I am sorry for this horrible title...

The red numbers on the clock over the rink slowly counted down, the last minute of the game beginning. You had your hands tightly clutched together, sitting on the edge of the seat as you watched your home team in the orange and blue tricots trying to defend the last push of the opposing team. Mark Lee - on the defense - body checked the opposing wing player, who had been pushing forward, hardly into the banister, causing him to lose the puck. Quick on his feet like always, Ten snatched it from him and took a sharp turn to avoid the second wing player, using his smaller size to his advantage so he could push forward into the last third before the huge defender of the opposing team tackled him harshly. But like the genius player he was, Donghyuck had anticipated it, screaming Ten’s name at the top of his lungs so the elder had the time to pass the puck on to his wingplayer. Using his momentum from following Ten, Donghyuk pulled both of the opposing defenders towards him, leaving the star player of the team - Lee Jeno - free right in front of the goalie. A huge mistake. With a mischievous grin on his lips, Donghyuck waited until the very last second to pass the puck straight to Jeno who didn’t hesitate even for a second to take his shot: Hitting the puck with all his strength, he sent the rubber flying right past the goalie’s body, slamming into the net of the goal.

The crowd around you erupted in loud screams and cheers, everyone jumping up from their seats and celebrating the last minute goal as the red timer on the scoreboard ticked down to zero, the loud noise of a horn mixing with the cheers of the students. In the middle of all of this you were hugging your best friend, screaming loudly before turning back to look into the rink where the other boys had buried Lee Jeno beneath them, hockey sticks scattered around them. The other team had already angrily left the rink, collecting their stuff to make their way to the locker rooms when the boys finally let off and let their MVP breathe. Grinning broadly they took their helmets off one by one, shaking out their matted hair and just like after every game, the sight of Jeno’s midnight blue messy hair took your breath away. Once you could muster up the courage to talk to him, you wanted to ask if he had dyed it to match the color of their blue and orange jerseys. But even though you went to every single one of their home games and sometimes even went down to the rink to congratulate them, you had yet to speak more than three words with their handsome center forward player with the 23 on his back.

“Let’s go down to congratulate them, this was insane,” Jaemin said before already pulling you down the stairs against the tide of people that were already leaving. A couple of the player’s friends had already gathered at the rink, cheering them on and clapping them on their padded shoulders. You could make out the University’s heartthrob Johnny Suh - a volleyball player himself - fondly petting his best friend’s head which made Ten smile brighter than the harsh lights that illuminated the ice. A group of other boys from your year that you knew from a couple of your courses had rounded Donghyuck and Mark and looked like they were currently mocking the elder for his misplay that had led to the early goal of the opposing team, leaving their goalkeeper Yangyang almost no time to react. With a loud thud Jeno joined the circle, clinging to Mark’s back who cried out in pain from how hard the impact had been. The newest addition to the team, a tall freshman with the number 27 on his back, awkwardly shuffled on the ice before the team captain - Sicheng - pulled him over to where they were celebrating.

“Yooooo, boys this was sick!” Jaemin called out when he jumped down the last couple of steps before joining his friends who had stopped mocking Mark for a little while. But that wouldn’t be for long and you knew it. You had been their fan for quite some time now and knew that Donghyuck would not let Mark live and would bother him about it for a long time. “Watch your back, stupid,” you mumbled after your best friend who had been part of the team last year but had to quit playing for an undefined amount of time due to some issues with his back. He was the one who had originally gotten you into this sport which had led to your crush on Lee Jeno. So basically Na Jaemin was the reason you had the worst everlasting crush on a boy you barely knew and were way too shy to talk to even if he shared a ridiculous number of classes with you this year. But to Lee Jeno you must just be Jaemin’s weird friend he still knew from his childhood.

Slowly you approached the circle of boys, trying to hide as much of your face as possible in the bright orange scarf you had wrapped around your neck to shield yourself from the cold of the stadium. Jaemin was already retelling the highlights of the game in rapid-fire double time rapping speed, gesturing broadly and making the players laugh. “If you were to commentate the games they would probably be twice as fun to watch,” you spoke your mind when your best friend had to take a deep breath, making all of them stare at you which promptly lead to blood to rush to your face. “Yoooo, that would be such a good idea,” Mark broke the silence, his eyes wide, “Since you know all the rules and stuff.” “Also I wouldn’t be biased at all,” Jaemin just rolled his eyes. “Yeah, he can’t just trash talk the other team during the whole game,” Sicheng threw in. “But it would be fun,” Yangyang mused. He had finally managed to get all of his extra protective gear off, his dark hair hanging into his eyes. “You should try it, Jaem,” Jeno also agreed. “I’d rather join you on the ice, you know,” your best friend mumbled, shooting the rink a longing gaze. “You’ll be back with us in no time once your back is healed,” Sicheng smiled, patting him on the shoulder with his still gloved hand, “Just give me a call and I’ll unlock the rink for you to make a couple of rounds.” “What am I, a short track athlete?” Jaemin grumbled but nodded his head anyways. He had been an amazing sprinter until he had exchanged the goggles and tight suits for heavy padding and a stick some time in high school.

“What’s this gloomy atmosphere? We won guys!” Ten shouted over from where he had been talking to Johnny and some other upperclassman, “Let’s get out of these uniforms and have some food to celebrate, Sicheng is paying.” “I am what?” The team captain protested but his complaints were lost in the cheers of the younger members of the team who quickly scrambled to get to the lockers to shower and change, their stomachs always bottomless holes after an intense game. “Let’s go home then,” Jaemin suggested, raking a hand through his caramel hair. You could tell he was still sad about not being able to be with his boys but he made an effort to hide his inner struggle. “Jaem!” A voice called you back when you turned to climb up the stairs and Lee Jeno skidded effortlessly over the ice to roughly collide with the side of the rink again. “You know you can join us, right?” A smile spread over your friend’s lips but he shook his head. “I can’t leave this one all to herself.” “The more the merrier,” Jeno just answered, looking you straight in the eye which lead to your heart missing a beat or two. He was covered in sweat and his hair was matted to his head, he should not have looked this attractive to you with his stupid half-moon eye smile and mole beneath his right eye. “I- I don’t want to mess up your all-boys time,” you tried to politely decline, scolding yourself for stuttering like this. You did not need to make an even bigger fool out of yourself. “It’s fine, really. Mark’s girlfriend is probably going to join us as well,” Jeno reassured you, “I’ll see you two outside!” He quickly added before crossing the rink again to disappear into the lockers, not leaving you two any more chance to decline.

“We’re not going to say no to a free meal, are we?” Jaemin grinned. “Wipe that grin off your face Nana,” you grumbled, scolding yourself for going for comfortable and warm clothes instead of pretty ones. What would Jeno think of you in your oversized blue hoodie and orange scarf? “Stop stressing, I can hear you thinking,” your friend whined, pulling you out of the by now empty stadium. “I look like a potato.” “No you don’t. You look fine. Jeno is not into the whole dolled up thing anyways.” Slapping his arm hard, you looked around if any of the players had already changed and overheard his comment. “You better keep your mouth shut, Na Jaemin or may god have mercy over you,” you hissed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he innocently blinked his eyes at you. “Na Jaemin, I swear to god. If you make me look like a fool in front of my crush that I should have never admitted to you, I WILL make you regret it.” “You don’t need me to make a fool out of yourself,” your best friend laughed, just barely dodging the punches you threw at him.

“Please be nice,” you whispered when the boys came out from the locker after a couple of minutes, their hair still damp from the shower they must have taken, their bags slung over their shoulders. Pictures of what a certain forward player must look like beneath his heavy padding and jersey flooded your mind for a second and you had to fight the heat that threatened to creep up on your cheeks. Mark’s girlfriend who had arrived a couple of minutes earlier and who you two had already told about the game, raced to fling herself into her boyfriend’s arms, giggling loudly when he almost toppled over from being thrown off balance. Somehow that image tugged at your heart and you wished that one day when you were finally not too shy to talk to Jeno, this could be the two of you.

Dinner was filled with a lot of loud laughter and just mildly annoyed waiters at the restaurant that had the best hot pot in town or so Sicheng claimed. But you really couldn’t even blame the poor waitress that had to deal with the hyped up hockey players. You mostly kept quiet, listening to their bickering and their stories. Donghyuck only retold how Mark had messed up in today’s game about three more times until he earned himself a rather hard slap to the back of his head from both Mark and Jeno. During the whole time you tried to steal secret glances at the forward player, admiring how fluffy his hair got after it had dried and how his glasses would fog up from the heat of the food until he took them off with an adorable but also really annoyed huff, stuffing them into the pocket of his neon green hoodie that should have looked ridiculous but he could pull it off. At this point you thought that he would look good in a plastic bag. God you really had it bad for him.

“Alright children, it’s bed time,” Ten exclaimed after everyone’s bellies were full, clapping his hands, “We should leave quickly so Sicheng can pay for the meal.” The team captain just sighed and leaned back in his seat while the others quickly shuffled around to sort out their bags and their jackets to hurry out of the restaurant, muttering words of thanks to Sicheng. You felt bad for him and lingered behind for a little before pressing a note into his hands that he declined with a little smile. “It’s fine,” he shook his head, handing the money back, “One mouth more or less doesn’t matter.” “Thank you for the meal, Sicheng,” you smiled. “Thank you for your support, you’re at every of our games, aren’t you?” Flustered you followed him to the register where a woman took his card to pay for the meal. “I try to make it. Jaemin doesn’t like going alone when he’s not allowed to play and I really enjoy watching you guys play. Your freshman really did so well.” “Sungchan is really talented,” Sicheng nodded, “He is such a great assent to the team and he compliments Jeno well. He’ll give Jaemin a run for his money when he comes back.” Smiling, you nodded. “I hope he’ll recover fast, he really misses you guys.” Taking his card back, Sicheng grimaced at the receipt. “We all miss him.”

Stepping outside in the cold, you were glad you had brought your thick jacket, your breath came out in little white clouds and Jaemin’s nose was already red. “I thought you’d never come back out, I am freezing over here,” he complained. Rolling your eyes at your roommate, you quickly said goodbye to Sicheng who once again told Jaemin to give him a call if he wanted to use the rink to skate for a while. On the way over to your apartment a little off of campus, you both kept quiet, each lost in your own thoughts. Even through your thick layers of clothing, the cold began seeping into your bones and you buried your hands deep into the pockets of your jacket. But instead of the soft material of the inside of the pockets, your right hand came into contact with a neatly folded piece of paper. Confused you pulled it from your jacket and unfolded it. You didn’t remember stuffing that in there. In neat handwriting, a single sentence was written:

You look so pretty in blue.

What? You were so perplexed, you halted in your steps, staring at the piece of paper as if it would tell you what in the world was going on or how it had ended up in your pocket. Had one of the boys snuck the note into you jacket when they all had left before you and Sicheng? But why would any of them do that? What if... What if it had been Jeno? No, that couldn’t be. He was way out of your league and most definitely confident enough to tell you in person if he liked the honestly very much not special or pretty blue hoodie. “Hello? Earth to best friend?” Jaemin’s voice ripped you from your thoughts. He was standing a couple of steps in front of you, a questioning look on his features. “Did you just remember you left the stove on or something?” “N... No,” you muttered, shaking your head before shoving the note back into your pocket, catching up to Jaemin.

What you didn’t know was that would not be the last weird note you would find. The next one didn’t take long. You found it stuffed in your bag between your books on your second class of the day. Trying to not catch your friend’s attention so you wouldn’t have to explain the note, you carefully and secretly unfolded it to read the neatly written sentence.

You look great today, have a great start into the new week! Fighting!

Not unlike last time, you wondered who could have dropped the note into your bag. And when? Looking around the class you were currently in, your eyes caught on Lee Jeno’s midnight blue hair just a couple of seats in front of you. Had he been in your previous class as well? You couldn’t remember. But even if he had been, it was just wishful thinking that he had been the one to write the note. It was most likely a cruel joke someone was playing on you. Sighing you crumbled the piece of paper and focused back to what your professor was saying, trying to concentrate on taking notes instead of daydreaming while staring holes into Lee Jeno’s head like you had done way too often in this class. You weren’t very successful and when Jeno answered a question the professor had thrown at the class flawlessly, earning himself a couple of back pats from his friends that were seated around him, you couldn’t help but sigh. God, why did he have to be both smart and incredibly handsome? And on top of that a very talented hockey player.

A slap from your friend to your shoulder brought you back from your daydream to find the professor staring at you intensely. Shit. What had he asked? “Alright miss, I’d like a word with you after class. Now who can answer my question instead?” He spoke and you just wanted to ground to swallow you whole.

For the rest of the class you were just imagining all the worst case scenarios in your head of what the strict professor would scold you about. Would he make you do extra work for the class? Give you a bad grade all together? Or just humiliate you further? “Alright class, that will be it for today, you’re dismissed. Don’t forget to do the reading for next week and hand in your assignments on time,” the professor dismissed the class, immediately finding your eyes to nod his head sharply to indicate he hadn’t forget about you zoning out.

Discouraged after the scolding you had gotten from your professor about dozing off in his classes, you climbed the stairs to your seat to pack your stuff to go hide in your room until everyone would have forgotten how embarrassing the whole situation had been, especially Lee Jeno and his friends. But yet again another note was placed right on top of your notebook, seemingly written in a haste and carelessly ripped out of its original page.

Don’t take it to heart, it could have happened to anyone. Cheer up!

Okay maybe the someone who was writing you these notes actually wasn’t playing jokes on you and actually cared about you. You’d be lying if the few words hadn’t made you feel any better.

Over the next few weeks you found more and more notes. Some longer than others, some just a few hastily written words. Some were just a quick cheer up to help you get through a long day of class, some compliments about your outfit or your hair and some even little stories about the day of your admirer. Somehow you felt like you got to know him a little through his little messages. You even dared to say you looked forward to finding more and more notes.

One time your secret admirer even left you a coffee on your table at the library when you had gotten up from your seat to get more books to look up some information for the essay you were trying to finish. When you got back to your seat, you looked around quickly to see if the admirer was still around. But you only saw more students perched over books or their laptops, typing away. Just when you were about to get back to your own project, a white hoodie caught your eye between the dull lighting and brown colors of the library. Below a mop of blue hair, Lee Jeno shortly smiled at you from behind his glasses, toasting towards you with his own cup of coffee and you couldn’t help but notice that it was from the same shop the steaming cup in front of you was from. Picking it up, you toasted back and took a small sip to not completely burn your tongue before examining the cup which just said your name with a little heart on it. It could have been just a coincidence that Jeno chose to get coffee from the same place your admirer had. The shop was just a few meters from the library after all but the way Jeno had smiled at you, not his usual bright smile but something maybe a little more shy, made you believe it could actually have been him and you really hoped that he actually was.

But today you hadn’t found a single note from your admirer and for some reason that was really bothering you. He had managed to sneak you at least a little note every day for a while now. And you still hadn’t figured out how he did it. Or when. You didn’t leave your bag or jackets unattended for long periods of time and it seriously baffled by how sneaky he must be.

“Stop staring holes into the air and get back to work,” your coworker Yuta scolded you, clapping a hand on your back on his way past you. “I’m sorry, I was lost in my head,” you apologized but he just shrugged his shoulders as he collected the mugs a group of students had left behind. “Exams?” He asked as he came back, putting the mugs into the sink. “Something like that,” you lied. You really didn’t know the upperclassman well enough to vent to him about how someone you didn’t even knew who they were send you secret messages and somehow they hadn’t done it today yet. Before Yuta could ask any further questions, the bell on the door jingled happily, announcing the arrival of a new set of customers. “I’ll go, bring those to the back,” your coworker instructed you. Sighing, you bunched up your sleeves to stack up all the dishes that had been piling up in the front during the time Yuta and you had been too busy with orders to put them in the big dishwasher in the kitchen.

With a couple of freshly washed cups and plates you emerged back into the main room to see Yuta flirting with the group of girls that had just come in to probably order some way too overpriced season special with more sugar than actual coffee in it. Of course only after they had been completely charmed by the objectively speaking very pretty foreigner with a silver tongue. Rolling your eyes at the group, you instead made your way to where the customers were sitting to check if anyone new had come in while you were in the back. After most classes were over for the day, the cozy café usually filled up with students pretty fast; either to relax for a little before going to the library or to discuss group projects.

Today was no different and you easily spotted a group of boys from one of your courses squished together in one of the booths, your best friend smiling brightly at you when he saw you approach. “My favorite waitress is working,” he spoke, awkwardly hugging your waist from his sitting position. “You just want my employee discount,” you fondly rolled your eyes at a now pouting Jaemin, “So what can I get you.” You quickly collected all the boy’s orders including Jaemin’s horrendous deathpresso. “Oh, add another iced Americano, someone is still missing,” Donghyuck called after you when you had confirmed their orders, a knowing smirk on his lips. Quickly scribbling another one on your little notepad, you didn’t look where you were going and suddenly collided with a very solid chest and you were pretty sure you would have fallen if it was not for the customer’s quick reflexes. So instead of on the floor, you found yourself pressed against his chest, his perfume clouding your senses. “Careful where you’re going,” he said and you could already tell that your eyes would meet ones with the color of molten amber, hidden behind a cute pair of round glasses, before you even looked up to see Lee Jeno’s smile. “You... You too,” you stuttered, feeling your face heat up, quickly scrambling back a step. “Are you alright?” He asked, looking you up and down once. “Yeah, I was just taking your orders, I’ll be right back,” you tried to smile while trying to tell your heart to stop beating like you had just ran a marathon. “I’ll help you carry, we’re quite a few people.” “No, it’s fine really,” you quickly declined, “This is my job after all. “I feel bad for running into you though, let me help,” Jeno insisted, a slight pout on his lips that you really could not resist. When you ended up nodding, his whole face lit up with his famous eye smile and your insides might have just melted a little. While he was quickly putting his bag down and greeting his friends, you busied yourself with the orders. Yuta was still no help whatsoever, telling one of the girls an obnoxious story of how he had ended up at a university in Korea. You barely held back your laugh when the girls gasped, their eyes glued to Yuta. The story might have been impressive to you if you hadn’t heard it about 30 times already, always a little different but always pretty far from the actual truth.

“I didn’t know you worked here,” Jeno ripped your attention from your coworker when he leaned against the counter to watch you work the big coffee machine. “I was working in a different shop a little off campus before,” you smiled, focusing on pouring the milk into one of the cups of coffee to form a pretty picture. “You’re really good at making them look pretty,” Jeno complimented you, his cheeks tinted a rosy color. “It’s just practice,” you mumbled, hiding your own shyness behind the counter to quickly grab the cake slices the boys had ordered. An awkward silence hung over the two of you while you worked on finishing the other drink orders (it always took a ridiculous amount of time to make Jaemin’s) and your brain ran on overdrive trying to come up with a topic to talk to Jeno to fill up the silence while willing your hands to not shake and make a fool out of yourself in front of him.

“Do... Do you work between classes?” You chose to ask in the end, scolding yourself immediately for asking what must be the most lame, basic question ever. “I hardly have time between classes and practice,” Jeno explained nonetheless, scrunching his nose adorably to push up his glasses,” I’m here on a scholarship so I have to show results in hockey or I’ll be out.” “Ooh, I didn’t know that. But you’re really good so it shouldn’t be a surprise,” you spoke your mind before you could think about the words but as soon as it registered, your face immediately was heating up. Jeno just laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. “I’m not bad I guess. It’s just a lot of practice, it’s nothing special,” he mirrored the words you had said earlier, an easy smile on his lips. “Even I can see you have an unfair amount of talent for hockey, Jeno.” At that he barked out a short laugh. “You should have seen me when I stood on the ice for the first time, I couldn’t even skate in a straight line without falling on my ass, no idea what the scouts saw in me when they talked to my mum to recruit me.” “I bet you’re just being modest,” you argued. “I am not I swear,” he laughed, “I was really bad but I trained a lot so I could make the team. I’m not like Donghyuck who can just skip half of practice because he’s hungover. I have to work for it.” “That makes it even more admirable,” you mumbled, not able to look him in the eye when you spoke the words even though you meant them with all your heart. “Th- Thank you,” Jeno stuttered and when you looked up at his face again, you could see that his ears were bright red. “I mean it,” you smiled and when he finally met your eyes you couldn’t help but get lost in his for a while.

“And you tell me to stop flirting with customers,” Yuta broke whatever moment you just had with Jeno and shoved you from the spot on the coffee machine. “I wasn’t,” you tried to argue but your colleague just clocked his tongue and rolled his eyes. “I... I wouldn’t mind if you were,” Jeno mumbled so quietly you had almost missed it, causing butterflies to erupt in your stomach and a smile to creep onto your lips again. “We should bring the drinks over,” you smiled, grabbing the tray that held the drinks so Jeno could take the one with the cakes. “Ye... Yeah, orders, drinks, sure,” he stuttered, grabbing the second tray and following you through the café back over to where his friends were seated. “I thought you would never come back,” Jaemin already whined, grabbing his deathpresso off of your tray. “It takes a while to make eight freaking extra shots of espresso,” you scolded your best friend while giving out the rest of the orders to the other boys who all agreed, joining in on telling Jaemin how unhealthy his coffee drinking habits were. “Let me know if you need anything else,” you smiled politely when everyone had gotten their respective drinks, leaving the boys to banter playfully.

Over the course of your shift, the boys stayed to study and ordered another round of hot drinks before they left just shy of the ending of your shift. Jeno threw you another shy smile and a little sweater pawed wave when they left the shop that almost send you into cardiac arrest. “I’ll clean that table and then head out,” you announced to Yuta who was glued to his phone, checking his twitter feed. Among the chaos of used napkins and dishes, you found a neatly folded piece of paper with your name neatly written on it, a little heart drawn in the corner that set you own one racing again. You quickly put it in your pocket and cleared the rest of the table, all but throwing the dishes into the dishwasher at the back so you could get out of your apron and take a look at the note your secret admirer had left. While you were changing into your warm jacket, you couldn’t help but to think and to hope that Jeno had left it for you. After all he had been at both the gatherings that had led to you finding these notes and he also shared lot of classes with you where he could technically have slipped you a note or two. And on top of that he had also been at the library when the coffee incident happened.

Once you stepped out of the café and into the cool air of the early evening, you sat down on one of the benches surrounding the building to read the little note in peace.

You look so cute when you’re concentrating on making pretty latte art, did you know that? I loved the little talk we had but I am too shy to talk to you. Can you tell by these notes? My friends all make fun of me for writing cheesy notes instead of manning up to actually talk to you. I don’t even know if you would want to meet me. But if you want to, then meet me at the ice rink tomorrow at 7pm. I’ll be waiting for you there, I promise.

You couldn’t hold in the little shriek of joy that made its way past your lips. It had to be Jeno. It couldn’t be anyone else. It had to be him. Holding the little note close to your furiously beating heart, you smiled and kicked your legs in joy before storing it carefully into your bag. Jaemin better be ready to help you choose an outfit for tomorrow and listen to you whine without asking too many questions about who you were actually going to meet.

When you arrived at the stadium the next day, clutching the note tightly in your hand, you double checked the time and carefully looked around before you tried to open the front door which to your surprise was actually unlocked. Taking a deep breath, you went in, closing the door firmly behind you before walking up to the second door that would take you to the bleachers. Slowly you pulled it open as well, hoping it wouldn’t make too much noise. The rink itself was just dimly lit, most of the lights turned off and on the ice there was a single figure skating around the perimeter, seemingly lost in their thoughts while aimlessly taking sharp turns that send pieces of ice flying, making the skids screech. You would have recognized that person between hundreds of other skaters, the midnight blue hair easily giving him away.

Jeno seemingly hadn’t noticed you yet and it gave you time to sort out your racing heart and thoughts. Had it really been him to write you all the sweet notes that you had begun to collect in a little box you hid from Jaemin in a box beneath your bed? Or was the universe playing a prank on you and it was just a coincidence that he was practicing right now, alone at night. But then again no one else was around and he really wasn’t dressed for practice, just wearing one of his big hoodies and jeans. It had to be his notes. And thinking back on it, he really had been the only person who had been at the same places, the notes had been showing up. From the dinner with the hockey team to the ones in your classes and at your work or in the library.

Slowly you made your way down the steps of the bleachers, keeping quiet so you wouldn’t disturb Jeno who was still skating around the rink. Once you arrived at the bottom row of seats, you took a seat next to a pair of skates and a pair of sneakers that probably belonged to Jeno. Sitting in silence, you watched his movements for a while. He was captivating to watch: Seeing him effortlessly glide over the ice before suddenly sprinting forward only to come to an abrupt halt or take a sharp turn. It was beyond you how he held his balance through it all.

Suddenly he halted in his moves completely to stare at the big clock on the back wall of the stadium that showed that it was fifteen minutes past seven already before he sighed deeply, raking a hand through his fluffy hair. Was he nervous? Nervous you wouldn’t come? Just when he was taking off, his eyes caught your figure and he stopped again, a big smile spreading across his face that made his eyes curl into the beautiful half-moon shape you adored. While you were busy trying to remember how to breathe, he was skating towards you, effortlessly jumping from the ice through a little door in the rink, walking towards you. “You came,” he beamed, kneeling down in front of you after he had grabbed the skates that were still lying next to you. “Yeah I did,” you answered, still not entirely sure what to make of this situation. With how fast your heart was beating, it must have climbed all the way up to your throat and you weren’t sure if you could have produced a proper sentence if you wanted to.

“I hope I didn’t misinterpret all of this,” Jeno mumbled while he carefully undid your shoelaces before slipping them off your feet, “And you’re just here to tell me to stop being creepy and not leave any more notes around.” The way he looked up at you from beneath his midnight blue bangs tugged at your heart and you couldn’t find any words to tell him just how okay you were with this, so you just nodded, feeling heat rise to your cheeks, the skin feeling way too hot against the cold of the stadium. Smiling brightly Jeno quickly prepared the skates to slip onto your feet and laced them up tightly, his nimble fingers working fast and efficient. “Is this alright? Not too tight?” “Seems fine,” you smiled back at him, experimentally wiggling your toes. “Alright,” Jeno smiled, extending a hand to you. “Come on, let’s go.”

Shyly, you took his hand to let him pull you upright. On wobbly feet, you followed him to the little door in the rink, letting him step onto the ice first. “I’ve never done this before,” you confessed, almost reflexive reaching your gloved hands out towards him which he took with a gentle smile, squeezing them reassuringly. “I won’t let you fall,” he promised, tightening the grip on your hands. “Okay,” you whispered, carefully stepping onto the slippery ice, unsure how to work with the skates. “You’re a natural,” Jeno beamed when you finally stood with both feet on the ice. “I- I don’t know,” you shied away from the praise, wishing you could hide in your big scarf. “Hold on tightly now,” the hockey player warned before he skillfully moved his legs so he was sliding backwards, effectively pulling you with him. A little surprised sound escaped your lips and you clutched his hands tightly, worrying your gaze to your feet where you tried to stabilize yourself and keeping the skids up right.

“Don’t think so much about it. Look at me,” Jeno’s voice cut through the soft scratching noises of the skates. “I’ll fall if I do,” you argued. Also your heart would most likely leap out of your chest if you did. As if it wasn’t already beating furiously enough now that you were basically on a date with your crush and he was holding your hands. “I told you that I won’t let you fall,” he promised, slowing down his own movements until you came to a halt. Steadying yourself on the skates, you took a deep breath before looking up to meet Jeno’s eyes. And just like that time stood still. Under the dimmed lights in the stadium, it felt like you two were the only people on this planet. You got lost in the deep brown shade of his eyes and adored how his nose and cheeks were tinted a pretty blush color from the cold. “Hey there,” he whispered, tucking your scarf neatly around your neck where it had come undone, the gesture so intimate, it made your breath hitch. “Hi,” you answered dumbly and it made him smile, his eyes curving into the beautiful half-moon eye smile.

Before you could do anything stupid like coo hat how pretty he looked, his smile turned into a mischievous grin and he quickly let go of your hands to skid backwards a couple of meters further towards the center of the rink. “Jenoooo,” you whined once you had found your balance again, glaring to where he was making a couple of sharp turns, creating indents in the smooth ice and sending pieces flying. “Come over,” he called, opening his arms wide. “You just want to see me fall.” “You won’t, have some faith in yourself. Just kick with your skates until you gain momentum. It’s like walking just with a little more glide.” “Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?” “Just try it. For me,” Jeno smiled, sliding a little closer to you and opening his arms again. Sighing, you nodded, balling your hands into fists before you kicked your feet just how you had seen Jeno and the other’s do a hundred times before. Albeit very wobbly and slow, you were sliding over the ice. A smile slowly spread over your face as you kicked your feet again and again and you weren’t even mad when you noticed that Jeno steadily moved backwards to keep you going. “See, you’re a natural,” he beamed but just when he said that, you stumbled over one of the indents he had created earlier when he was showing off. You already prepared yourself to meet the cold unforgiving ice, making a complete fool out of yourself but instead two strong arms curled around you to pull you against a strong chest so you were stabilized again.

“I told you, I wouldn’t let you fall,” Jeno whispered, his hands steady on your waist. “Thank you,” you mumbled, slowly snaking your arms around him as well until your bodies were flush together. For a while you just stood on the ice, hugging each other until your breaths evened out, hearts beating in the same rhythm. “I’m so glad you actually came.” “Why wouldn’t I?” You mumbled into his neck. “Maybe you thought all my notes were creepy.” “I was really confused at first,” you admitted, “I thought it was a joke. I couldn’t think of a reason why anyone would write these to me. I was waiting for someone to bring up the topic so they could make fun of me. But deep down I really wished it was you who was writing them and that you actually meant everything you wrote.” The longer you spoke, the more you felt your face heat up. “I wish I had more courage to actually ask you out properly,” Jeno confessed, his voice quiet, “I kept seeing you around Jaemin and then you started to come to our matches. And then we ended up in so many of the same courses and guess what you’re not only very pretty but also incredibly smart. And I guess I kind of developed this huge crush on you with your big scarves and hoodies.” “Me... Me too, Jeno,” you whispered, your heart making summersaults in your chest and a smile spreading on your lips. Beneath your fingers you could feel Jeno chuckle. “Will you let me kiss you?” He asked softly and who were you to deny him?

Slowly you lifted your head from his shoulder and he carefully cupped your face before he leaned in to kiss you until your noses were touching. His bangs were tickling your face but you wouldn’t have wanted to have it any other way and crossed the last few centimeters between you to press your lips against his slightly chapped ones. Like you had all time in the world you just stood on the ice, lazily moving your lips together only ever separating to heave in a couple of breathes of air and share a soft giggle before claiming each other’s lips again with hearts beating like one.

Eventually Jeno pulled back when you leaned in to kiss him again, a big smile on his lips when you pouted. “You’ll get another one when you manage to skate a whole round in the rink,” he grinned, his eyes sparkling. “You’re the worst Lee Jeno,” you kept pouting, “You’re hurting yourself just as much as me.” “Come on, it’s going to be fun,” he smiled, snaking free from your grip to skate around you in quick motions. “Show off,” you mumbled underneath your breath but tried your best to copy his movements to fulfill his quest.

In the end he had been right, once you got the hang of it and didn’t lose your balance every time there was a dent in the ice, it actually as fun to chase each other around the rink even though you knew he was purposefully letting you catch up to him at times to steal more kisses. It still somehow didn’t feel real that you actually were here with Lee Jeno and that you were actually allowed to kiss him just like this. After what felt like hours, Jeno helped you out of your skates and you just sat on the bleachers cuddled up together beneath a blanket, looking down at the rink. “Are you going to see the match tomorrow?” He asked. “Of course I am. Why wouldn’t I?” Jeno just hummed, a blush creeping up his cheeks and ears, this one definitely not from the cold. What was making him shy all of a sudden? “Would you... I mean... If you wanted to... Would you,” he stuttered before he groaned loudly and grabbed your hands tightly, “Willyouwearmyjackettothegame?” “What?” “My jacket... Would you wear it tomorrow?” He asked again, slower this time but still not meeting your eyes, instead looking at your interlocked hands. “Do you want me to?” You asked him back, a big smile on your lips. “I mean... I understand if this is a little fast but... But I’ve had this crush on you for the longest time and... And I would really like to show everyone that you’re you know...” “That I’m your girlfriend?” “Y... Yeah,” he admitted, shyly looking at you from beneath his midnight blue bangs. “Of course I will,” you smiled broadly, throwing your arms around him to hug him close.

And you did. After you and Jeno had talked for a little while longer about everything and nothing at all (and maybe some more kissing) until you had yawned more than he found acceptable, he had quickly run to the locker rooms to fetch his jacket that he had promptly laid over your shoulders on your way home. In front of your apartment building he had kissed you goodbye and wished you sweet dreams before he walked away to his own dorm room that he shared with Donghyuck so you had found out. You turned the key as silently as you could so you wouldn’t wake up your best friend who was out cold on the small sofa in your living room, the Netflix ‘Are you still watching?’ screen illuminating the room. Shaking your head, you draped a blanket over the sleeping boy and turned the TV off before getting ready for bed as well. The next morning you had to explain why you had Jeno’s jacket to a screaming Jaemin at an ungodly hour but in the end he was just excited as you were if not more because he didn’t have to hear both of you pining anymore because he had promised Jeno not to meddle.

You slipped into Jeno’s big jacket when you and your friend where about to leave so you wouldn’t be late to the match, you couldn’t help but smile, snuggling deep into the collar until your boyfriend’s smell engulfed you like a blanket. “Stop being gross or the best seats will be taken,” your best friend complained, tugging you with him and filling the way over to the stadium with chatter. “There are so many people,” you exclaimed when you had entered the stadium, looking around for free seats. “It’s the highlight of the season, what did you expect?” Jaemin asked, tugging you further down when he spotted Mark’s girlfriend waving excitedly at your two. She also was wearing a jacket with the name ‘Lee’ on the back just that hers had a big blue 2 on the back and not a 23 like yours. “You and Jeno?” She excitedly jumped up and down when she had spotted your jacket and you could only nod shyly. “I’m so happy for you. Mark told me how Jeno kept pining after you.”

“What’s with all the Lees over here?” A male voice cut in before you could answer anything and Johnny Suh sat down next to Jaemin, not clad in his usual dark red jacket with his name and the 9 on the back but in a rather small orange one with a giant blue 10 on the back. “You’ll fit right in,” Mark’s girlfriend chirped, making Johnny blush and hide his face in his knitted scarf, mumbling something about how stupid it was that it had to be so cold to play hockey and how much rather he’d be in his heated gym. “The joy of dating Korean guys,” Jaemin laughed, jumping up and climbing in a seat the row above you, “Let me take a picture, this is hilarious.” “Ten and Mark aren’t even Korean,” Johnny argued, “But Leechaiyapornkul would have been a bit excessive to put on a jacket.”

The rest of his argument was drowned out by the cheers that erupted when the players came from their lockers, the starting 6 quickly rounding the rink, making a couple of sharp turns and going through moves with their stick. Being their center forward player, Jeno was in the starting team along with Sungchan and Donghyuck. On the defense, Winwin and Mark were checking their gear before the captain made sure that all of Yangyang’s protective gear was on right. In the meantime Jeno was searching the bleachers and you couldn’t help but feel shy before you waved at him, jumping up and down so he would notice you. Because of the helmet you couldn’t know if he smiled at you but your heart made summersaults nonetheless when you playfully put on the hood of the jacket to show him that you were indeed wearing it. You imagined him laughing before he blew you a kiss with an over exaggerated movement that made quite a few people turn their heads to see who he could have blown the kiss to. Before you could even think about hiding, Johnny gripped your arm tightly and hissed: “If I am out here wearing Ten’s stupid jacket that is way too small for me while he refuses to wear mine in public because he’s not some trophy wife, you will not hide now.” Not knowing whether you should be afraid of Johnny or laugh at what really sounded like something Ten would say, you just nodded at the blonde, straightening out your back. From the opposite side you could see Ten sitting in the exchange box, a huge grin on his face when he must have spotted Johnny in the crowd (which really wasn’t that hard, the dude was unnecessarily tall).

“They better win this game or I will be mad,” the blonde grumbled when everyone had sat back down and the referee had called both team captains over. “It’s going to be a tight game,” Jaemin filled him in, “The gorillas have been on a roll for the past couple of games. But I have the feeling that a couple of players might just try extra hard today, trying to show off.” At the end, he threw both Johnny and you a very over exaggerated look completed with wiggling eyebrows which earned him slaps from both of you. “Now shut your mouth, Na Jaemin, I actually want to see this game.” “Wow she gets a hot hockey player as her boyfriend and suddenly she doesn’t need my top notch commentating anymore, that hurts.” “Shut up, Nana,” you smiled, focusing back to where in fact your boyfriend was playing on the ice just now. And even if you loved to see Jeno playing, you couldn’t wait for the game to be over to be back in his arms to congratulate him.

Which NCT boy could I beat in a fight; a discussion

yours truly is feeling nasty today and who better to destroy than 23 idiots (mom i love them but i wanna kick their ass)

let's get it

taeil: the most powerful thing about him is his voice, this man built like a grandpa, i'm not sorry. one good kick in the shin would be enough to floor him

taeyong: he's the softest bitch i've ever seen. my scorpio bloodlust is too much for his weak cancer ass, i'd knee him in the nuts and he'd apologise to me for standing in my way

johnny: this man is the textbook definition of chaotic evil, i would not fight him even if you paid me. he would play dirty and use his height to intimidate me but i feel like he wouldn't attack me at all. he'd just smile at me calmly and cage me in with his giant man body and i'd be done

yuta: it's tricky with yuta, 'cause i kinda wanna fight him for scorpio dominance but i also know it won't end well for me. unlike johnny, he would attack me and strike me down. but he couldn't intimidate me enough to give up so he better bring his best game

doyoung: i feel like i could take him in a physical fight bit not a verbal one you know? like yeah i could fuck up his kneecaps but he could verbally traumatise me like a champ. something about him reminds me of my very balkan mother and that makes me uneasy. could easily picture him threatening me with a wooden spoon

kun: he's too nice and patient to outfight fight me even if i attack first, would try to persuade me to talk it out but i'm not here for a chat motherfucker. i would knock him unconscious with an uppercut, but make sure he safely falls on a soft armchair

ten: i would never fight him, are you kidding me? he's an apsolute legend

jaehyun: i would beat his ass at the drop of a hat, dumbass white boy. he's higher than a kite 97% of time, bitchboy wouldn't even notice me swinging at him. i would right hook him square in the face and it would feel so good

winwin: i would fight him for that sweet scorpio dominance and i would win. listen i know he's a classicaly trained dancer and i'd use it against him. he'd be wasting too much time on looking ellegant and not enough on catchin deez hands

jungwoo: he looks all cute and innocent but i'm telling you he's one sadistic motherfucker. i'd run away from him the way you run away crying from a horror house at the fair

lucas: he has the bodyodyody for it but he's too slow for me, i'd scratch him up like catpost. he also wouldn't take the fight seriously 'cause he's friendly like that which creates a perfect opening for me to punish him with my claws

mark: i would never fight mark, can you imagine how tired this man is? also i feel like he becomes hella terrifying when he gets MAD mad and and i apsolutely don't wanna be at the recieving end of that

xiaojun: i could make him cry like a baby with my words only

hendery: it's like when your brother tries to play fight you, he swings a lost to scare you but is actually completely useless. makes those woosh noises and keeps going "u wanna fight huh u wanna fight me?...! c'mon sucka fight me wooooosh pow pewpew wooshhh" yeah i'd be threw with him in only clean punch

yangyang: i'd break his chicken legs and eat sushi with them

shotaro: he's adorable, why would i fight him? kawaii ass tiktok boy smh

sungchan: i have previously wished to fight his virgo ass but upon seeing his rap in misfit i've changed my mind, he gets a free pass but just this once

renjun: i'd fight him with such joy, he's all bark but no bite i'm telling you. i'd wrestle him, pin him down and pull the "why're you hitting yourself" trick. he'd surrender soon after because i would annoy him into it. as he limps away from me i hear him mutter "...bitch" under his breath but you know what i've hurt him enough for one day, so i let it slide

jeno: my lovely taurus boy, i could never fight you. i love tauruses too much y'all i can't. he deserves cuddles and warm drinks

haechan: oh i'd whoop his ass sooooo fast, he'd see me approach him from the distance and he'd already know it's over. i'd make him scream like a little girl no cap

jaemin: this is a 10/10 lil fuck. i would never fight him because i like him too much. it's a joy to watch him simply exist in his own weird, wonderful way. he's just a stupid cute boy and i wanna pet his hair

chenle: he's also too much of a legend for me to even attempt it and honestly i don't really want to. i adore that young man with all my heart, he's just a really cool chill dude with good vibes. i don't doubt for a second that he could beat my ass though, he is a sadist and has no mercy

jisung: i wanna protect him from the world, dog. only thing he's getting from me are words of encouragement, never fists. god bless him

that is all

NCT Universe Album Ranking: An Opinion Piece

1. New Axis

Loved it from first listen

"Upper echelon, all of the above, qualified, yeah very much" is such a catchy line and is my favorite part of whole song

Was my favorite on the album when I had only heard a few songs and remained my favorite after I heard the entirety of the album

I've had this song in repeat ever since it came out

Strong beat

They're all so talented, there's no weak point in this song

I love the contrast of all their different rap styles and hearing how they can complement each other also

The perfect first track, really sets the pace for the rest of the album while also being considerably different from the other songs

I wanna see a stage for this song so bad 😫✋🏽

Main rappers slayed

2. Universe

I liked it from the beginning despite the structure of the song seeming unusual to me

The beginning of the song (Haechan's first part) kind of sounds like a bridge to me and I think that's really unique

The choreography is so catchy too

The repetition of the adlibs and starting and closing lines makes the song very catchy and memorable (ex. The "Let's play ball" chant and the "What you got?" chant)

Xiaojun shined so much here, like an icon

The acapella part during/after Jeno's rap made me levitate

Yangyang deserved more lines, but his lines on the other tracks made up for it ig

Jungwoo and Doyoung absolutely devoured that bridge, as they should, honestly

Xiaojun's beautiful high note, what a vocal God 😫🙇🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

This was the perfect title track for the album, it really did it's job of making me interested in the rest of the album

3. Miracle- WayV

I'm a sucker for Nct's English songs, what can I say 🤷🏽‍♀️

Extremely catchy and just good vibes in general

Yangyang really outdid himself with this one, he's so talented

The lyrics are amazing

This song has the perfect balance of rap and vocal

I love Hendery's rap style, yes versatile king

Ten's "I-I-I-I" is kinda funny but I love it though

My favorite song of all the fixed units, and my favorite unit

I'm so proud of them, it's been a while since they've had a song all together (even though this still isn't really all together) and they came back with a bang

4. Round&Round

Groovy

Nice kind of R&B vibe that I like

All of their voices complement each other's very well

The instrumental is kinda basic, though. That's my only complaint

Sungchan ace? I think yes

Taeil's high note sent me to space, omg

Ten absolutely bodied this song

They all did such a good job, how iconic of them

5. Sweet Dream

The instrumental alone gives me chills

The "Lalalala lala" at the beginning is so heavenly

It just sounds dreamy, which is fitting considering the title

Again that R&B kind of sound I love

The lyrics are so romantic and sweet omg

"You are so sweet, dalkomhan dream" I'm sobbing 😭😭😭

Nct's vocalists left no crumbs, per usual ofc

Jaehyun's voice is so smooth, I love that man

Yes falsetto, period

This is Taeil and Jaehyun's song idc, argue with the wall

It's giving coffee shop vibes, and I'm loving that

Makes me feel like I'm floating on a big, fluffy cloud

"From this dream, I don't wanna wake up" is on repeat in my mind 24/7

Honestly should be higher than 5 but this album has so many bops idkwtd

6. OK!

"My baby said she wanna dance with a ghost, she wants to leave me uh" 💃🏽👻

This song slayed in every way possible, the raps, the vocals, the instrumental it's just all so amazing

The instrumental is especially likeable to me, it kinda sounds like skeleton bones lol

I see this as the Faded In My Last Song of this album, where it wasn't promoted as a single, but is still very popular with the fans

I love Jeno's rapping so much

Overall a very memorable and catchy song

7. Birthday Party

"Ay bae gon' love that like it's your birthday" 💃🏽

Ultimate party song, definitely lives up to it's name

High energy

If Work It and Make A Wish had a baby, it would be this song

JISUNG FAST RAP, I REPEAT, JISUNG. FAST. RAPPPPP!!!

JUNGWOO SAID "TONIGHT IT GON' BE A DRAMA" 😫😫😫

The adlibs are so hot 😫

Shotaro: "You gonna love it" YES SIR, YES I WILLLLL

Jaemin's "Woooooooooooooooooowww", I love it so much

This song is so quotable omg

"Yo DJ, can we switch it up a bit?" has the same energy as "Hold on, hold on, hold on, can we switch the language?" and idk if I love it or hate it but it's so funny every time I hear it

The bridge/breakdown 😫

Johnny outsold

Petition for Nct to continue these annual birthday themed songs because I love them dearly and my birthday is at the end of the year so it makes them feel like a birthday present

8. Beautiful

Johnny's little intro gave me Wakey Wakey flashbacks that I did not ask for why did they make him do that again 😭

Hendery's rap is the best part of the whole song, you can @ me on that

Their voices sound so good together in the chorus

Yes kings, inspire me. Tell me my self worth 😌

Taeil outsold, that's all I need to say about that

Taeil's high note after Hendery's rap, what a lovely combination

Nct's vocals will always impress

Doyoung's "You are" at the end, don't touch me 😭😭😭

The choreography is so pretty too, but that's beside the point

9. Know Now

Unrelated to the quality of the song itself, but I love how half of this unit is just NCT Dream

It's been so long since I got a Sungchan rap, feeling very blessed right now

Energetic song which is very nice

When they all harmonize on "Know now" 😫

The instrumental has a lot of unique sounds in it, I like it a lot

When Johnny and Yangyang said "Talkin, talkin...Poppin, poppin" I felt that

Jaemin got so many lines, yes baby, slay

Jeno's raspy voice>>>>>

Very catchy

The ending sounds a bit awkward though, like there was meant to be something after it or maybe the vocals were just weird with the instrumental at that point, idk

Besides the ending, the song is very good

10. Vroom

Yes Jisung, snatch those lines baby

I love how the instrumental builds up in the pre-chorus but am kinda disappointed when the chorus comes cause all the build-up leads to nothing

Chenle and Jisung's vocals, the way the maknaes ate this song up 😌

Chill vibes

After you listen to it a couple times it gets more catchy, but it didn't leave much of a mark the first few times I gave it a listen

I don't really have any strong opinions on this song

11. Dreaming- NCT DREAM

I feel conflicted about the instrumental

Their vocals are so pretty, as always

The chorus is the best part

The verses are a bit boring to listen to at times

Jeno's accent when he sings "I love that feeling" 😫😫😫

Jisung's part and the instrumental changing up along with it, very much pleasing to the ears

Renjun's part before Haechan's high note, yessir

I've listened to this song at least 5 times and I still cannot remember what it sounds like until I listen to it again, so ig it's not very memorable for me

12. Good Night

A unit full of ballad masters

Easy listening, very soothing

Makes me sleepy tbh

Their vocals are so beautiful 👏🏽

Kinda boring, I usually like Nct's ballads though so idk why I'm not really feeling this one

I just feel like I've heard it before, it doesn't really stand out

It kinda felt like a drag listening to it

I'd listen to it to wind down before bed, but on a day-to-day basis, probably not

It feels a bit out of place with all these fast paced/hardcore songs, maybe if there was more balance throughout the album then it wouldn't feel like this song is such an outlier

13. Earthquake- NCT 127

I didn't like it from the beginning, it's like a headache to listen to, especially in the first couple times

Literally it just started and my head is already killing me, I'm not even listening with earbuds

Jaehyun's vocals were nice though, like a bit of a break from all of the utter chaos in this song

"When we shake, earthquake" is kinda catchy though

I didn't really like any part of the song until Johnny's part at the end of the bridge and from that point on until the end of the song, it became more bearable

The chorus definitely sounds better after the breakdown, though I'm still not crazy about it

The song is just too loud for my taste ig, I don't know if I've ever disliked a 127 song this much before

Notes for the album overall: Needs more Renjun 😊👍🏽

❝𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕦𝕡❞

𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜:

⇢ hannah meets up with one of her close friends to catch up; alternatively: the fox and the quokka meet again

⇢ set in mid april 2021

𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜:

⇢ conversations written in italics are spoken in english. feedback is highly appreciated!

Hannah shook her head fondly as she watched Yoonmi race down the hall towards the recording studio frequently seen on vlive. She and Yeonjun exchanged amused looks as the young girl excitedly entered the room, yelling the name of her older brother.

“Come on,” Yeonjun placed a hand on her back and sped their pace up, “or else Chan hyung’s gonna use us not being there as an excuse to stay longer.”

She scoffed at that, following Yeonjun regardless. “Please, he’d drop everything for Yoonmi anytime, and you know that.”

Yeonjun’s laugh was the only response she got as they entered the studio. The door opened immediately as they arrived in front of it, revealing Yoonmi dragging a chuckling Chan away to probably her manager’s car.

“Looks like they’ll be gone for a while,” Changbin laughed from the inside before nodding at her with a smile and turning to Yeonjun. “Let’s go before Wooyoung and Haknyeon decide to make us pay for being late.”

Yeonjun nodded and stepped out with Changbin, ruffling her hair on his way out. “See you in a bit, Hannah.

She glared at him a little before turning towards her friend who remained cleaning up the studio. They haven’t been able to see each other since their promotions overlapped. Or since the award shows, actually. “Hey, quokka.”

“Miss foxy,” Jisung playfully bowed at her before continuing to gather up his stuff, “long time no see. You hungry?”

“Always,” she playfully rolled her eyes at him, “or have you forgotten already?”

“Not when you and Yongbok have been constantly sending each other desserts. No cookies recently?”

“Yoonmi makes the best cookies, and she always sends some over to Chan hyung for you guys. Felix told me.”

The betrayed look he had on his face when he realized this made her laugh. It dawned on her that, though Chan may have told Felix to let the others get some cookies whenever they want, Felix must have kept it a secret. He loved Yoonmi’s cookies, so it was no surprise.

“He never told us!”

“Come on, let’s go eat.”

The two friends found themselves in the JYP cafeteria, food paid for with Jisung’s credits. He had a whole set of food in his tray, which was quite a drastic difference from her single bowl of salad. He frowned when he saw her tray.

“Just a salad?”

She shrugged. “We’re in the middle of promotions, so I’m dieting.”

“Nope,” he placed a plate of pasta on her tray and some extra side dishes, “your boyfriend and members are gonna kill me if I don’t feed you. Our food’s all organic, anyway. It’ll be fine. We’re sharing side dishes, by the way.”

She rolled her eyes but followed him to an empty table. They settled across from each other and began digging in. The conversation carried smoothly, as if they didn’t have a solid four or four months of not seeing each other. It switched from the food to normal catching up to preparations.

“Your comeback’s really good, by the way,” Jisung noted. “I listened to the whole album. Really good. You worked on lyrics, too!”

“Just a bit,” her tone was humble as she moved the salad around on her plate. “I thought it was fitting since it’s our first full album, so I did my best. Sorry for bothering you for help, by the way. I know you’re pretty busy with Kingdom.”

“Please,” he shook his head, “I needed the distraction. We were so caught up on preparing for the show, so I needed to forget it just a little.”

“How are you guys, by the way? I’ve seen your past few performances.” A teasing smirk made its way up to her face while she looked up from her food to meet his eyes. “I liked your cover of I’ll Be Your Man. Very impressive high notes there, mister main rapper. Very desperate.”

Jisung snorted and tossed a little sausage from their side dishes onto her plate. “Shut up, you know the performance is supposed to seem desperate.”

“What’s coming up? The collaboration stage, right?” She took a moment to recall the last episode’s ending. “It’s a shame that you guys aren’t working with The Boyz. You, Eric, and Sunwoo rapping together would have been cool.”

“You’re friends with Sunwoo?”

“We’ve met, but you already know I talk to English line the most.” She jolted up straight upon remembering something, startling Jisung into hitting his leg against the table. The boy curled in on himself a little, making her laugh. “Sorry about that. Did you hear? Changmin oppa invited me to co-host your sports day!”

That was the reason why she had been in a meeting the day before right after their schedules. She didn’t expect that she’d be brought straight to the company right after her schedules with NCT Dream, much less did she expect that she’d be meeting with a few higher ups and some Mnet staff alongside her senior for a cameo.

Jisung raised an eyebrow at her. “What? You’re coming to watch our sports day?”

“Co-host, but yeah.”

“This is gonna be so funny,” he laughed. “You know that, even if you have a boyfriend now, Juyeon hyung has an idol crush on you, right?”

“Stop!” Her hand went to her forehead in embarrassment. “Eric always mentions it whenever we talk, I swear.”

The smirk on her friend’s face sent a chill down her spine. “But there’s also Seonghwa hyung and Chani… Oh my god, man! What is it with you and these older guys, huh?”

“One more word out of your mouth, Han Jisung, and I’m telling Chan oppa that you had a crush on Yoonmi.”

Ah, yes. This short-lived crush her friend had on her other friend which amused her to no end every time he’d talk to her about how Yoonmi’s lyrics hit different, how her on stage persona is captivating, how she’s adorable in BTS content, or how her rap is unmatched by any other girl idols. Jisung, like many other fourth generation idols (and some from third generation) had fallen for the international sweetheart, and she made sure to tease him about it whenever given the chance.

Jisung groaned, “Of course I tease you about other’s having a crush on you, but you can’t tease me about people liking me.”

“Hey, if it means anything,” she began, “I used to like you the slightest bit back in late 2019 when we did those collab stages. Nothing much, it died as soon as it started, so don’t get too cocky.”

The slightly astonished look on her friends face made her remind him that it was a momentary thing rather than a prolonged crush. This, of course, didn’t stop Jisung from poking fun at her.

“Aye, I’m so telling your boyfriend,” Jisung laughed.

She gave him a pointed look. “Nothing is kept a secret in our group, and he’s in the same unit as one of the people most overprotective of me.”

The 00-liner wisely kept his mouth shut, making her laugh. A silence passed between the two before they silently agreed on not speaking about these infatuations ever again. She finished the last of her food before rummaging around her bag and pulling out a small bottle. It was something she didn’t use often, but prefered whenever she didn’t have to promote. Black nail polish.

“I brought this, by the way,” she mentioned as her phone started ringing. “I don’t know why you asked for it, but here you go.”

“Nice,” he took the bottle, “now answer your phone while I finish my food.”

The familiar face on her screen brought a subconscious smile to her face the moment she got her phone out of her pocket. It was her none other than her boyfriend, Liu Yangyang. She chuckled a little before answering the phone.

“Hey, Schnucki. I’m with Hannie right now. Jisung, say hi.”

She brought the phone closer to Jisung’s face, where he awkwardly greeted the boy on the other end of the phone. The awkwardness made her laugh and take it back. Maybe she should have waited until after he swallowed before making him say hi.

“Me again!”

“Have you eaten dinner yet?” Yangyang asked her with the slightest hint of concern in his voice. “Renjun told me you skipped out on the food your manager got you guys on the way home.”

“Hwang Injun, that snitch.” Her mumbling was easily caught by Jisung who snorted in amusement. She lightly smacked his arm from across the table then went back to her conversation. “I just ate dinner! JYP Entertainment’s special organic food is pretty filling, don’t worry.”

“Alright,” his voice sounded relieved. “How long are you gonna be there? Will you be back too late? You still have an early start tomorrow.”

She chuckled at her boyfriend’s questions. Ever since their jacket shoot, her schedule had been filled with preparations for NCT Dream’s comeback. Yangyang had been texting her good morning everyday without fail and constantly checking up on her to make sure she was still functioning properly somehow. For some reason, she found this endearing about him. He usually wouldn’t seem like that type of boyfriend, but he is.

“I’ll be here until Yoonmi finishes shopping for her future nephew and Yeonjun oppa comes back from dinner with the 99s. Hannie’s taking care of me, don’t worry.”

Jisung’s scoff from across the table made her send him a pointed look.

“Could you put me on speaker?”

“Hold on.”

One more warning look was sent towards Jisung as she placed the phone on the table. Jisung looked at her curiously before turning towards the phone.

“Yangyang?” he called out cautiously.

“Hi, Han,” Yangyang greeted. “I know we only spoke a few times, but I hope it’s not too much to ask to take care if Hannah?”

“No problem, bro,” the Stray Kids member nodded despite the fact that the WayV boy couldn’t see him. “We’ll just be here in the company, there’s a bunch of places to lounge in and a lot of food.”

There was a laugh from the other end of the phone. “Thanks for taking care of my pet fox.”

“Excuse me,” she interjected, making the two boys laugh, “I will sheer your hair off your head, you sheep.”

“Kidding! Anyway, Han, you’re Hannah’s friend, so I’m trusting her with you. As a friend, right?”

Jisung chuckled. “Of course. No need to worry.”

Hannah snatched up her phone and turned speaker off before the conversation could get any longer. “Is that it?”

“I’m at the dreamie dorm right now, so I’m expecting cuddles when you get back.”

A slight chuckle escaped her lips as she playfully rolled her eyes. “As long as you’re out of the dorms by 1:30am at the latest, okay?”

“Of course, babe.” The wink was evident in his voice, she didn’t even need to see him to know he did. “I’ll see you later, okay?”

“See you later, Schnucki.”

With that, she hung up her phone and looked up to find Jisung looking at her with a teasing smile. “What?”

“You’re so whipped,” he drew out. “Honestly! The smile on your face says it all. It’s different from when you’re talking to your members or your other friends.”

“My smile?”

Looking back on it, Jeno did mention that there was something different in the way she looked at Yangyang. Donghyuck mentioned it as well while jokingly whining about her not giving him as sweet of a smile. Even Yoonmi told her that she sometimes catches Mark smiling at her the way Hannah smiles at Yangyang. Was it really that noticeable?

With a shake of her head, she picked up the black nail polish bottle once again. “What do you want to do with this?”

“Could you paint my nails?”

What kind of a concept suits each member?

He likes it or he's really good at it

Taeil: Anything flashy/expensive. I always think of Regular era as being his. The red hair mixed with his strong side-profile was sexy.

Johnny: Kick It!!!! Whatever that concept was. I'm digging the whole shirtless, tough-guy thing he's been doing lately.

Taeyong: All of it. Any concept. He can fit into them all. I would like to see him do something a little darker, though.

Yuta: He's another one that fits all concepts. 127's concepts are PERFECT for everyone in the group. Like Taeyong, he fits like a chameleon into all of them.

Kun: I like him with softer concepts. I like the whole soft-sweater-ballad Kun more than anything.

Doyoung: He's hard to fit into one concept. His voice feels like a soft concept in itself, but he can definitely pull off a bad boy concept. Personally, I do like him when he's in a suit.

Ten: Something light and fun!! I do enjoy him in the darker WayV concepts, but there is something about his freedom in "Paint Me Naked" that feels so organically like him. It's refreshing and nice.

Jaehyun: I feel like the concept he fits the most hasn't happened yet. I want actor Jaehyun so bad. I would love to see that kind of actor Jaehyun concept worked into an nct 127 comeback.

WinWin: No matter what, he gives me prince vibes. I would love to see him in a royal concept. If that were to ever happen, I think that would be his most loved concept.

Jungwoo: I think Sticker's concept fits him well. It's, like, a little futuristic? I don't know, but he shines.

Mark: He fits into every concept so well. He's even good at cute ones. My favorites are the ones where the rap is heavy, though.

Xiaojun: Soft ballads. It's my favorite. Anything "Boyfriend" concept, too.

Hendery: I like him in cool concepts the most. I think his image fits WayV's sound really well.

Renjun: I really liked the Boom concept. I think his styling and everything was really good then.

Jeno: All of them. Any of them. Put him in the middle and it's a good concept.

Haechan: The youthful concepts, like Hello Future. I don't know why, but they fit him the most. I think it's because his vibe itself is quite youthful.

Jaemin: Ridin's concept was cool. I really loved the styling and the hair. He looked insanely good.

YangYang: I think about Bad Alive YangYang a lot. I don't know how to explain WayV's concepts other than that they are strong.

Shotaro: I want him in sexy concepts. I want him to dance in sexy concepts specifically.

Sungchan: 90's Love was a good concept. I don't love sports concepts, but I think it was perfect for him.

Chenle: He's another person that I think fits all concepts really well. I don't have a favorite, and I don't think he has a favorite. I would like to see him do something different, though.

Jisung: Something fresh. I like him in all concepts, but I feel like he's best at Deja Vu type stuff.

+As always, I'm not answering anything for Lucas until he is off hiatus.

what is a wayv song that reminds you of each of the members? i hope this made sense :(

no wait, same anon who asked about the songs. maybe one wayv song, and one non-wayv song? hehe

----------

kun

wayv song: domino (his “feel it in my bones” adlib at the end is unbeatable and legendary and so domino just really makes me think of kun)

non-wayv song: from home - nct u (i mean, nct u isn’t wayv so...yeah; i just think the home-y, smooth, warm vibes of this song reflects kun)

ten

wayv song: love talk (his voice sounds really nice in this song; it’s always nice, but it’s extra addicting here lol so i think about ten when love talk plays)

non-wayv song: bump bump - woodz (pmn reminded me of woodz’s bump bump, and the song itself has very ten vibes; youthful, free and creative)

winwin

wayv song: we go nanana (one of my most favorite winwin lines is in this song; he sings it with a sweet and happy voice without being too “loud” just like him)

non-wayv song: 2am - purple kiss (this song gives off “coffee shop dates in drama”; winwin fits the actor vibe so it’s self-explanatory)

xiaojun

wayv song: good time (the dance cover he did for this song stuck to my mind; it was so cute and sunny like xiaojun help me)

non-wayv song: love me right - exo (idk i just think xiaojun’s voice and dancing would fit this song if he covered it, so it automatically makes me think of him)

hendery

wayv song: nectar (we should talk about hendery’s dancing more because this song’s choreo was made for him i can’t stop thinking about it)

non-wayv song: tempo - exo (energetic, powerful, swag and charming just like hendery)

yangyang

wayv song: turn back time (i really love yangyang’s rap parts and his scenes in the mv, so i automatically see yangyang when this plays)

non-wayv song: zombie - purple kiss (really funky and happy-virus kind of song; it’s something he’d dance to, so i get yangyang vibes when i listen to this)

#wayv #kun #ten #winwin #xiaojun #hendery #yangyang #kun scenario #ten scenario #winwin scenario #xiaojun scenario #hendery scenario #yangyang scenario #scenario #imagine #nct

Conversation

Universe - The 3rd Album Review

New Axis - Mark, Taeyong, Yangyang: This shit goes HARD. Whoever decided to put Yangyang, Mark, and Taeyong together...god bless. They all go so hard. It's a very NEO sound

Universe Let's Play Ball - Doyoung, Jaemin, Xiaojun, Jungwoo, Shotaro, Jeno, Mark, Haechan, Yangyang: The fucking "let's play ball" is so damn addictive...it plays in my head on repeat. I really like this line up, though I do wish Yangyang, Jaemin, and Shotaro had more lines. However, the song is catchy as shit. I loved Xiaojun and Haechan's highnotes...y'all fuck me up

Earthquake - NCT 127: I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG. I fucking LOVE this song. I'm so glad Johnny is getting more lines now if we could just do that for Yuta, that would be *chefs kiss* But this song slaps so damn hard and Taeil's highnotes...

OK! - Taeyong, Ten, Yuta, Mark, Hendery, Jeno, Yangyang: This song is...sexy...it's dangerous. Like, it's like Baby Don't Stop but darker? I don't know how to describe this song but it's...dark and sexy. Like that's the vibe

Birthday Party - Johnny, Yuta, Jungwoo, Hendery, Jaemin, Shotaro, Chenle, Jisung: It's Work It unit but add Shotaro and Chenle. We love to see it. This song is a vibe. It definitely sounds like something that a DJ would play at a party. Ooo, Chenle's high note...*chef's kiss*

Know Now - Johnny, Doyoung, Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Sungchan, Yangyang: This song is like a mixture of rap and singing and it's definitely something to blast in the car with your windows down. This song is a vibe and I love it

Dreaming - NCT DREAM: I love the techno vibe that this song brings. Oh my god, Jisung's voice is so hnngh...it's so pretty. I love this song

Round&Round - Taeil, Ten, Jaehyun, Xiaojun, Haechan, Sungchan: Oh this bitch is the vocal unit...god bless whoever put this lineup together. God FUCKING bless. But it's not like a ballad song...I don't know how to describe it but it's definitely the type of song I vibe to. Ten's vocals...Taeil's highnotes...Xiaojun's runs...Jaehyun's vocals...goodbye, I am deceased

Miracle - WayV: I do love a good sexy song by WayV, they are very good at sexy songs. I do miss hearing Lucas and Winwin but I think they did great. Their vocals and raps are *chefs kiss*

Vroom - Kun, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Hendery, Chenle, Shotaro, Jisung: I love songs that have raps that sound more like they're singing than rapping...it's like a ballad mixed with raps...reminds me of Pandora's Box or Day Dream. It's definitely a vibe

Sweet Dream - Taeil, Kun, Jaehyun, Haechan, Chenle: I'm honestly living for this song, it's so good. Everyone's voice is so fucking...pretty

Good Night - Taeil, Doyoung, Xiaojun, Renjun: The ballad unit! Yess...oh this song is so fucking pretty...the ballad unit never disappoints ever

Beautiful - NCT 2021: Did I cry during the MV? You bet your sweet ass I did. Johnny's words in the beginning fucking got me, not gonna lie. It was so nice to see the boys dancing together again. And their voices all sound so good together...I can't wait to see this performed live

Overall: I enjoyed every damn song on this album...NCT really never disappoints. Never disappoints. I also love that everyone had really good line distributions in each song. I'm quite impressed, not gonna lie. I do miss Lucas and Winwin and I hope they come back to us soon so that we can have NCT OT23 again but I love this album. It's gonna be on repeat for the rest of the month

Universe: album

I like this album more than Sticker. There are more interesting songs.

It is weird for me to listen to songs and not recognise all the voices though. There is newness instead of familiarity.

Taeil stood out the most.

I miss Tende. I feel like SM figured out how to use Haechan, but not how to use Doyoung and Jaehyun separately from Taeil.

For example, Jaehyun is best when he either sings properly like in the start of “Beautiful”, when his warm tone shines, or when he plays with “chicky” delivery (the whisper rap in “Punch”, the rap in “Lemonade”, his parts in “Kitchen bit”). When he simply sing-songs like in “Good night” he doesn’t stand out much, he doesn’t have enough raspiness or silvery to his voice. He sounds not bad, just not very captivating, he is unmemorable.

Doyoung gets the best parts when he is paired with Taeil (the newer songs). When they transition from one to another. Otherwise he is tasked with layering weaker vocals. JohnDo, Do’s harmony parts on Beautiful (with Sungachan I think? and with Kun).

A good role for Doyoung is the “silver knife”, when his clear tone is used atop of others. “Yestoday”, “Lightbulb”, “Promise you”.

While when Do is given lines that don’t require anything special or are short (no space), he blends in. “Universe”, “Know Now” (both songs in some parts). He is the support. He is often faded out, which isn’t something complimentary. Do’s singing voice isn’t very textured (like Jeno’s or Mark’s), so without putting in power or emotion/colour the voice is "just nice”. Again, unmemorable.

Well, to put it rudely, the role of sub vocal doesn’t suit Doyoung or Jaehyun.

JaeDo opening and ending “Beautiful”, heh. I also snickered at the JaeDo moment in the MV (at 4:00)

I really liked the inclusion of the whistle. It’s that satisfaction from a “pay off” from the promotions/teasers and from having a “unique element”.

P.S. It will be a cool thing if the boy sitting in the second bus is a new future neo. The girls in the first bus look in front, but this boy is alone and is looking at YangYang.

Moxy with the NCT 127

The long awaited post for me!!!! Here is a closer look at Moxy’s relationships with the members of 127. Enjoy!!! ~ Author Izzy

Moxy x Taeil

Taeil was always nice Moxy. Treating her kindness and respect but never getting to close. Anytime he wanted to, it seemed like Johnny and Doyoung had everything under control

So Taeil decided to be her silent support. During her first two promotions with 127, Taeil would always keep a close eye on her. Eventually, he began to be able to tell when Moxy needed someone. And when she did he was there.

Taeil became her emotional support oppa. Whenever she needed quiet cuddle time, she went to him. Mainly because he never told anyone. The real reason: Haechan was right. Taeil is a perfect cuddle buddy.

As she got more comfortable with her position within 127, Moxy visited Taeil a little less but she knew that her oppa’s arms were open for her always

These two constantly trade edm songs with each other. When the rest of the members are out, they’ll blast music and have their own party in the dorms.

He knows Moxy doesn’t like chocolate so if he makes a dessert with chocolate in it, he’ll make a special one for her with white chocolate

Moxy x Johnny

Johnny is Moxy’s dad. No ifs, ands or buts. He is her father.

With Moxy having her own room, Johnny makes a habit out of coming in and checking on her. He also drags her out to get sunlight every couple of days.

Johnny: You will not sit here and become a vampire. Let’s go!

Moxy: But I’m allergic to sun..

When Johnny was doing NCT Night Night, Moxy came to watch in studio. Usually falling asleep to Johnny and Jaehyun’s voices

Whenever he buys her clothes, he refuses to buy her any black clothing. Claiming she need to expand her color palette

Johnny has a job a Moxy’s Bodyguard #1. He sits or stands one place down from her to keep an eye on her. In airports, she remains in his eyesight's at all times.

Moxy x Taeyong

For some time, Taeyong and Moxy didn’t have a relationship. She didn’t get to know him. He didn’t get to know her. In an effort to take care of the other (at the time) nine members, Moxy just flew under the radar.

After an interview gone wrong, Taeyong made the decision to pay more attention to the younger girl

Taeyong was impressed by her talent, all aspects of it. So he began to help with her rapping and dancing.

Taeyong was the first member to notice her non-eating habits. To rectify that, he started keeping small snacks he knew she liked with him

Taeyong loves to run his fingers thru her hair. During vlives, he’ll pull her in front of him and start twisting and tangling her hair

These two are always bouncing ideas off of each other. Moxy’s very in touch with her feelings she knows exactly what she needs to do to express those feelings in a song and that really helps Taeyong when he gets stuck with lyrics.

Moxy x Yuta

Yuta is the second member of the silent supporters. Yuta keeps Moxy safe using his body. If the group is walking thru a crown, Yuta keeps Moxy in his sights at all times. If they’re on a sidewalk, Yuta makes sure she walks on the inside even if she’s not walking with him

These two love to watch anime together. As of right now, they are in the midst of a Fairy Tail rewatch. Whenever they have time, they catch a couple episodes

He is the only person Moxy could do no wrong with. The only hyung who will let Moxy do what she wants. If Moxy sneaks out to get some fries, Yuta causes the distraction

Yuta always encourages Moxy to dress in more girly clothing. He knows how much she enjoys it but never feels confident enough to wear it. So he’s tries to help her overcome that

Moxy x Doyoung

(I love this gif!!)

If Johnny is the dad, Doyoung is the mom.

He looks after her all the time. Doyoung was always scolding both her and the other members for not really getting to know each other.

Doyoung helped her a lot to break out of her shell. He even accompanied her to practice her gymnastics in Korea for the first time

Doyoung found out about Moxy’s terrible eating habits in the worst way possible. From then on, he made it his personal mission to make sure she eats

During Doyoung and Moxy’s early time with NCT, Moxy would have a hard time sleeping so Doyoung left his door open to her. Most of the time, She ended up in his room before morning

Doyoung does not like for Moxy to show a lot of skin around other male idols outside of NCT. There are plenty of clips where Doyoung will cover Moxy’s legs and shoulders with the closest blanket or jacket

If Doyoung is having trouble with dance moves, he’ll pull her aside for help

Moxy x Jaehyun

Jaehyun is the third silent supporter Moxy has. Fans can catch him fixing her clothes, moving her hair into the correct place and softly catching her attention to check on her.

Moxy has a tendency to space out. During those moments, Jaehyun usually grabs her hand and rubs his thumb on the top of her hand in small circle until she snaps out of it

Jaehyun always guides her off stage. He’s a tensy bit scared of her walking in heels and possibly slipping and falling

Moxy likes singing with Jaehyun. Around the dorm, the two will start singing and (without talking) harmonizing

Moxy x Jungwoo

Jungwoo and Moxy were close from the get-go. Moxy helped Jungwoo find his place within 127 and he’s always thankful to her. The other members of 127 are just a bit jealous of how close the two became in such a short time

Moxy and Jungwoo flirt.....alot! There is literally no boundaries between them. When Moxy lived in the 127 dorm she would steal his clothes all the time.

When on stage, they might as well be attached at the hip. Fans will see them gravitating towards each other like magnets. At fansigns, Jungwoo will tell the fans to checkup on his girl two spaces down

Jungwoo is the only person who will ever see Moxy freak over other kpop groups. She would rather appear indifferent to everyone else. Jungwoo was only other member to figure out Moxy had a crush on Mark from Got7

Moxy x Mark

M squared didn’t have any sort of relationship until recently. For most of their shared career, they were just members in the same band.

Early on, K-fans made many comparisons between the two 99 liners. Both were from countries outside of Korea. Both were exceptional at rap, dance and singing. In most title tracks, you can bet Mark and Moxy are gonna have a rap verse where they go line for line

Many fans called Moxy a mixture of Taeyong and Mark. Those comments got to him. And because Mark didn’t talk to her, she didn’t talk to him. This all came to a head when SuperM was just starting.

Mark should have been happy. Happy to have his raps all to himself. But he found himself missing Moxy’s energy. Her hype affected him so much stage. It made go even harder with every word.

When Mark finally got back for Superhuman promotions, Mark finally started to make a effort to befriend Moxy. While the two are getting closer, Mark is still at the bottom of her relationships within 127

Moxy x Haechan

Different from Mark, Haechan and Moxy grew close fast. At first, he saw her like Haechan see’s Taeil. The quiet member who just the right person to break them out of their shell. And that he did

Haechan would always crash into her room like a hurricane, kick everyone out and steal Moxy for the rest of the day

They love learning old and new kpop dances together. These two are a walking random play dance challenge.

During the summer fight, Donghyuck would stow away in Moxy’s room. The hyungs wouldn’t hear any noise coming so they would check on them almost every thirty minutes just to make sure the two were ok.

Moxy is one of the only members who is privy to Donghyuck in a down mood. “You never have to front with me. You got me?”

Moxy and NCT Dream

Moxy is their noona and don’t you forget it.

Moxy adores Renjun’s energy. His aura never fails to make her feel safe and calm. Moxy and Renjun have little dates where they just sit in his room and watch YouTube theory videos

Jeno likes to workout with Moxy but she will only join if he’s going to a gym. Moxy refuses to ride bikes across half of Korea

Just like Johnny does with Moxy, she drags Jaemin out of his room for some outside time whenever its been awhile since they’ve seen the sun

Every third Thursday of the month, mochenji get together at chenle’s house and have a sleepover. Private time between the maknae’s and their favorite noona

Moxy and WayV

Hendery, Xiaojun and Yangyang love to tease Moxy about her bias on Ten. They flood her text message with pictures of him. They make little comments that make her blush in front of him.

Ten thinks its Moxy’s crush is adorable. He found out a while ago (I mean Moxy isn’t subtle.....). The only person Ten told was Kun. Ten loves to buy things for her just to see her eyes light up

You can’t put Moxy in the same room as Lucas cause she will literally pass out from laughing too much

Back in their trainee days, Kun would accompany Moxy to the train station to get home. One time, it was really late and Kun walked her all the way home. Kun became her grandmother favorite NCT member that day.

Winwin and Moxy found common ground in the tricking Winwin did (i.e. the front flip in fire truck) Winwin loved going to her gymnastics practice and practicing flips with her.

Moxy and NCT U

Shotaro is her shy Japanese child and if anything hurts him, Moxy would burn Korea to the ground.

Other SM trainees tried to scare him by warning him about Moxy’s “Bad Attitude”. Telling him that he would never get her help or advice. Shotaro not knowing any better steered clear.

One day, Moxy found him struggling with his Korean lessons and She immediately sat down with and helps him. Breaking everything down slowly. She even called Yuta to help because she only knew a tiny bit of Japanese. Ever since, Moxy has protected Shotaro.

Sungchan loves to flirt with his Noona but all he gets in return is a swat on the arm. Truly, Sungchan loves being around Moxy. She took the time to introduce him to the other members and let him cling to her while he was getting used to being thrown into such a well known group

Moxy loves to take care of Sungchan and Shotaro. She’ll buy them food and The members of 12 were shocked to see how easy it was for the new members to drag Moxy out of the house

Won’t Let Go (Taeyong x you, you x Jaehyun) angsty-fluff-romance!

Hey there, I am in the mood for some plot like this (no spoilers, read it to find out :P ) Though it might be cliche, I am soft for this kind of Taeyong... and sorry if Jaehyun looks so bastard here, I swear he won’t be like this at all in real life. Jae is a sweet heart too. It’s a happy ending :D

Warning : drunk, bastard! boyfriend Jaehyun, cheating scene. Taeyong is your room mate *coughs* he is your savior, Tae is the sweetest caring man you can imagine. Last parts refer to the famous song “say you won’t let go.” Guys please do not follow this kind of attitude, cheating and getting drunk are not to be followed. Do not get drunk, you might pass out or worse got alcohol poisoning.

Enjoy! it’s a bit angsty soft honest drunk talk in the end between you and Tae (okay i spoiled it, but find the details below. A bit long, but I promise it’s engaging) I pour my soft emotion on this :”)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

It's two weeks to finals and on the last thanksgiving break, you decide to join the loud crowded party Johnny held this Saturday. Your best friend, Taeyong had reminded you not to come, because you'll regret coming to it on Sunday. Sadly, you brush it off and choose to invite Taeyong to join. "Don't go, you know the last time you went to that party Johnny and his friends set up, you passed out." Taeyong pinches the bridge of his nose. You roll your eyes to the dull roommate you have, "You need to loosen up Tae! Look, it’s Saturday, we have the whole Sunday to sleep and have no regret. It's good for your body to slacken a bit." You turn your heels to open the cabinet behind your back and search through the clothes. Taeyong sighs, "Is your man coming?" he sounds a bit annoyed, well there was some war history between him and Jae. You nod your head, "Of course Jaehyun is coming, he co-hosts the party as long as I know." Taeyong groans, "Now that is another reason why you really want to come." Taeyong knows you're not the party goer. He remembers taking care of you after your first drunken experience, you clearly said you're not coming to any of those things again, yet here you are begging him to come along and insisting to come.

"Yes, Jae is there to make sure I'm alright. Last time it was my fault okay, he was away but I come to Yuta's birthday party, he's my best friend." you give Taeyong your puppy eyes. "How does this look?" you pick out a dress from the cabinet and press it to your body, asking Taeyong who's leaning on your door frame to examine the dress. "Nice, it's cold outside don't forget your coat." he clicks his tongue, "I am not dumping a pile of blanket over you if you got home frozen." "Oh I won't come back frozen, even if I do, I know you'll dump me all of the blankets we have." You laugh and Taeyong hates to admit that he will do that, you're too precious to die on him. "So, you want me to come and what? be your driver?" he asks You throw him a sad look, 'Yak I'm not planning to get wasted. I just need you to enjoy the night, besides your rap group will come. Doyoung told me." "Yeah Johnny told me too, he's also in the group honey." Taeyong clicks his tongue, how can you forget Johnny is practically in Taeyong's main squad. "You know what, I kinda miss all of the boys, I'll join you." He gives up and you squeal. "Now that is more of the Taeyong I know." you clap your hands. Although he is not like that. There's just a small feeling of safety when Taeyong is around and Taeyong, he won't let you alone in the dark, not when he knows Jaehyun is not the best man in taking care of a girl. You and Taeyong share a cab to the house Johnny rented for the night. It was all good and nice, you meet your friends and some of your man's friends. You; however, did not see Jaehyun at all since coming into the room. "Oh hey (y/n)! Did not see you there, I thought you're snuggle in your room watching Netflix." Doyoung seems taken aback when he sees you taking a water bottle from the table. Doyoung is one of Jaehyun's closest friend. "Oh Doyoung! Yes, I'm here with Taeyong. Where's Jaehyun I haven't seen him." you hopefully ask Jae's closest friend "I miss him and want to see him." Doyoung throws his eyes away from you to scan the room, "I saw him earlier when I came, but we haven't bumped each other again." You shrug the uncomfortable feeling in your heart aside. Something felt wrong, but no you don't want to trust your instinct, not in your state where you have drunk some of the colourful drinks there. "Okay tell me if you see him, tell him I'm here, he hasn't read my text." you wave your hand and make your way back to the sofa. The night deepens and you have wandered through the big crowded living room and the pool, but there was no sight of Jaehyun. "Yong have you seen Jae?" you give up looking for him and decide to just ask people around. Taeyong is seating in the big sofa with his friends, talking about joining a rap battle. He looks decent, he must not drink much since he's not a good drinker. Taeyong shakes his head. Mark and Lucas also shook their head. "Try the second floor." Yangyang suggests, you cock your head there is a second floor? "The stairs are accessed from outside," the young man explains before you can ask him. You smile, "Thanks!" and quickly rush to the stairs outside the house. Weird construction, but oh well you make it to the top and there are rooms inside. You carefully walk and put your head into the empty rooms, your heart is beating fast somehow as you inch to the last three doors where one of them is locked. You press your ear to the last door and your eyebrows rise in surprise. No, you're not supposed to be hearing this, there is someone having their private time. You want to move away but a pleasured scream a name you've been looking for the rest of the night stops you in track. You clearly hear a woman screaming "Jaehyun" in the most sinful way. You take a peek from the keyhole and clasp your hand over your mouth. Breathing is hard and you hold back the tears that are trying to escape your eyes as you make your way down. You bump into Taeyong who's on his way to check if you're good and he knows something bad happened up there that you're running over him crying. Taeyong runs to catch after you, he lost you in the crowd but soon finds you in the kitchen, serving yourself a big cup from the punch bowl. He shakes his head, knowing this isn't going to end well. "Stop! Enough! You're killing yourself" Taeyong forcefully grabs the red cup away from your mouth, your eyes are wet and you're already a broken-hearted sobbing mess. He throws the cup away and holds both of your hands so you cannot reach anything else. You're crying, his heart hurts seeing you like this. "He cheated." was all your lips mumble before you plant your face on his chest to cry your heart out. Taeyong awkwardly places his hand on your back and runs it slowly over your back, calming you down. "I think we can go back home?" he asks nicely, though he will do it even when you did not want to. You just nod your head and thanks to Mark's kind heart he and Lucas drive the two of you back home since it's faster and safer that way. Taeyong thanks his friends and quickly brings you back to the room. You slump on the couch, head too heavy to sit down and Taeyong is busy making you a cup of water. He makes you drink the water and lets you calm down a bit. You're crying and Tae is just there offering you his shoulder. It lasts for a while, his shoulder is cold from your tears but his heart is burning with anger towards that specific man who broke your heart. "You're right I shouldn't have come." you slurred. "Jae cheated, I'm sure it was him, the voice was his." you rub your eyes. "You deserve better, way better. Now, may I suggest you lay down and sleep. Finish the problem tomorrow." "I should've dated you." you look at him with glazy eyes. Taeyong hides a small smile, "You're just drunk and heart broken." You shake your head, "I've been keeping this to myself, but I always hope I can see you as someone more than a friend or a brother." Taeyong feels the whole zoo in his stomach, he cannot deny it that he also likes you a bit more than friends, but he is not taking this time to confess. Not when you just discovered your man cheating, got drunk, and because he takes care after you, you're swooned. You roll on the sofa, "Don't hide it Tae, I know you care about me more than Jae actually cared about me." your eyes are teary again. Why can't you sense it earlier, Jae has been distant and a bit secretive than usual. "I'm glad I come to the party with you." Taeyong sighs and takes off his accessories, man he is fashionable. In your hazy state you chuckle, "Guess it was fated that you come tonight to save me." He runs a hand carefully on your red wet cheeks, "Good thing your mascara is waterproof, you don't look creepy or miserable." he teases and makes you laugh. The tension in the room is no longer thick and sad thanks to his crack joke. "Thank you Tae," you close your eyes and exhale the tight air in your lungs. "Don't mention it," he leans back to the sofa. You move and position yourself to lay your head on his lap. "Can I?" you ask before resting all your head there, Taeyong nods his head and you relax your body. He carefully cards your brown hair with his long fingers and slightly massages your scalp, "Go to sleep, will you? I'll make sure you're not choking. If you want to throw up, just punch or slap me." You cry again, this time feeling so grateful to have Taeyong, he wipes your tears and laugh at your soft heart. "You're really an angel sent for me." your cloudy mind is back and Tae can only laugh, tomorrow he might be the only one who remembers this sweet painful moment, yet he likes that better than this never happening. Your eyes turn heavy and you control your breathing sequence to match Taeyang’s calm one. With his hand sending soft pulse in your head, you make yourself to bed. Like his promise, he did not move away and is alert when you feel your stomach acting up in the middle of the night. He wakes up, brings you to walk to the restroom and after you crouch, he nicely holds your hair and massages your nape as you barf into the toilet bowl. You smile from your shoulder and Taeyong feels his heart clench, he pulls you close and wipes your mouth with a wet tissue. He offers you the mouthwash and you're super lucky to have him. You're clean and when you see his worried smile, you dive yourself into his embrace and Taeyong hugs you close in chest. He knows in that moment; you're made for him. He wants to be the one taking care of you and loving you with all his heart. He wants to pamper you with attention and affections. As of you, you know you're supposed to always believe your heart. It's been yelling Taeyong all the time, but you're blinded by Jaehyun. "You should go take some rest now." he carries you to your room and after you change into a comfy pyjamas he sends you a good night kiss. The next morning, Taeyong makes a hungover breakfast for you although he is ready to answer all of your questions in case you forgot what happened last night. You surprise him with a back hug and snuggles into his back, "Morning! Thank you for last night. I don't know what will happen if you're not there. Thanks for everything. I remember everything." you whisper and he smiles. Taeyong turns to hug you and ruffles your hair, "So, do I get the chance to flirt and win your heart?" You chuckle, "You do not need to flirt. You've won my heart since long time. But I like the offer." He bops your nose, "Sit down, breakfast is coming in your way." You feel a great warm feeling in your heart, it's like spring decided to plant their garden of flowers in your heart, not to suffocate you but to make you feel like you're in cloud 9. You can see your future with this man, breakfast and dinner with him and if you're lucky maybe some cute Taeyong junior and a carbon copy of yours too. "I am not letting you go off my grip again," Taeyong smirks, "I was a fool for letting Jae took your heart."

end.
