Chapter 17

A/N seeing on how school will be starting in a few days I'm not sure I'll be posting on a daily anymore without the chapters sounding rushed, but we'll see how the schedule looks

Anyways, if you were to only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be

Honestly for me, probably From Home by NctU, the rearranged version, because it's is gooood😩

Taeyong POV

It had been almost a month since the... Incident in the kitchen, Doyoung and Taeyong had grown closer and kinda created a friendship

Taeyong continued to have these weird feelings around Doyoung, but they started getting worse the closer he got to the boy

It's not that Taeyong was straight, but he wasn't gay either, he hadn't had time as a child to fall in love or even find out his sexuality

So other than the thought in the way back of his head that this might be love, he couldn't think of anything else it could be

So that's why he was going to his personal love expert so to speak

"Renjuuuun."
Taeyong whined, laying on the couch in Renjun's com room

"Yes Taeyong?"

"How did you know you were in love with Haechan?"

"I'm not even sure I do love him."
Renjun looked at Taeyong's shocked face

"I'm joking Taeyong, don't be so easy to believe."

"Bitch"
Taeyong muttered under his breath

"I'ma pretend I didn't hear you.
But you answer your question, personally it took a while to realize, he ended up being the one chasing me while I was still trying to find out my feelings."

"No like the feeling you got when he would do something like.... I dunno... Placed his hand on your thigh or something...."

"Doyoung did what?!"

Taeyong looked up shocked
Did I say that Doyoung did that?

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

"I- I didn't say anything about Doyoung."

"Well what I heard from that past sentence was 'Doyoung placed his hand on my thigh and I got this weird tingly feeling."

Taeyong looked at Renjun in suprise
"Bitch can you read minds?!"

"Yes, but I also know what it's like to be in love, even though I'd say I'm more in Doyoung's position in me and Donghyucks relationship, so you might have to talk to him instead."

Taeyong shook his head
"Nah he'll tease me till the end of my life."

"Who's to say I won't do the same."
Renjun smirked

"Well I don't know I could just be allergic to him."

"Taeyong.... Sometimes I stop and question how you managed to get the position of mafia boss."

Taeyong glared at Renjun

"Well what do I do than?"

"I dunno, first see if your feelings are real, see if you're attracted to who he is, not just his looks, because I can honestly say, Doyoung looks like a snacc."

"RENJUN you can't be saying that, you got a boyfriend!"

"Meh, he thinks the same, we trust eachother enough to know that we can both say 'oh that guy is attractive' but we both know, at the end of the day, we're gonna love eachother and be there for eachother, and that, is trust."

"But- but you can't say that about Doyoung."

"Well, me and Haechan both know that if we weren't together, than we'd be fighting over Doyoung, because damn he's fine."

Taeyong gasped, whacked the back of Renjun's head and stormed out the door to go make sure Haechan wasn't fucking Doyoung

Renjun chuckled

"He's so jealous."

                                    •••

Doyoung POV

Doyoung was currently sitting in his room with Haechan, Kun, Jeno and Jaemin, they were just chilling and talking, Doyoung's room had kinda become the place where everyone hung out

Doyoung was more chill then the other members of nct, and because he was one of the few who had a room to himself, but he was the only member who let others in his room

So it had just been unofficially become everyone's go to place

Doyoung was talking to Haechan about the best way potatoes are made

Jeno, Jaemin and Kun were talking about who knows what

Haechan was ranting to Doyoung about how much better mashed potatoes were compared to baked potatoes

"I just don't see how you like baked potatoes, they're so dryyy, and the skin is so EW, but if you add like melted butter to mashed potatoes, OH MY GOSH THEYRE SO GOOD!"

Doyoung looked at Haechan, offended

"Bitch! You can add melted butter to Baked potatoes, you can add anything to baked potatoes, Bacon, ham, beef, lettuce, cheese-."

"I'ma stop you right there, it sounds like you're making a pizza, and melted butter on baked potatoes just doesn't taste the same."

Doyoung glared at Haechan

"You litt-."

Before Doyoung could yell at Haechan about his thoughts on potatoes, The door to his bedroom swung opening, banging against the wall

Everyone in the room looked at the door, seeing a angry looking Taeyong, his eyes landing on Doyoung and Haechan sitting on Doyoung's bed

"Oh hey Taeyon-"
Kun greeted, cut off by a rough

"Don't 'hEy TaEyOnG' me."

Doyoung chuckled
"What's got your pants so pissed."

"Nothing. Doyoung, come with me."

Doyoung looked at Kun in fear, as he got off his bed, towards the angry chipmunk in the doorway

Kun shrugged, he wasn't to worried, Taeyong had changed... He hoped

Did I do something to anger Taeyong?

Doyoung had no clue, Taeyong dragged him out of the room
