Chapter Thirty One

"I wanna go out," Yangyang whined at their manager but the man keeps on shaking his head sidewards. Taeyong just laughed at his sight.

They're at the waiting room and Yangyang wanted to go out to meet Ten, who's on the next room.

They'll have a comeback stage in an hour, NECTAR's having their debut stage in any minute now. He already met them a while ago but Yangyang? He haven't seen them yet.

Both management knows the friendship between NECTAR and CHA1N, but they're afraid that both groups might do something stupid so they wanna keep them apart as much as possible in front of the media.

"Oh? KBS will be releasing a boy group on March?" Mark, who's seating beside Taeyong, was talking to himself. Taeyong got his phone and tried to read the article too.

He smiled when he saw Johnny and Lucas is part of the line up. The group's name is 119 which consists 9 members.

Taeyong suddenly reminisced how they used to compete against each other cause of the rankings back in APA. And now? They're all slowly reaching their dreams.

Why is time flying so fast?

"Hyung! Stop spacing out!" Haechan furrowed his eyebrows cause of their leader. Taeyong chuckled and stood up, "Sorry,"

He sat down where Haechan was seating a while ago, it's now his turn to get his hair fixed.

"Red hair suits you, hyung." Sungchan complimented as soon as Taeyong got his hair done. The older smiled, "Does it? I personally love this too, I used to have it while studying."

Sungchan just gave him a two thumbs up.

"Taeil hyung, your turn." He called. Looks like Taeil just got back from a phone call, "Geez. NECTAR's already performing and I can't even watch."

It's just s whisper from the older but Taeyong heard it loud and clearly. He glanced at their manager, he's busy being irritated at Yangyang. He took the chance to quietly get out of the room.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

He knocked at the room next to theirs, when a stylist opened it— he didn't see any sign of NECTAR members.

While on his way to the stage, he felt a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him inside a stock room. Was he even shock when he saw that it was Jaehyun?

Well, he is indeed shock.

"Jae? What if someone saw us?" He widened his eyes but the younger just chuckled at him, "So? They know CHA1N and NECTAR are friends, don't they?"

Taeyong can't help but roll his eyes, "Even so. Why are you here anyway? Aren't you performing in a minute?" He asked, almost laughing to be honest.

"I should be asking that, why are you here? You're not allowed to get out right?" Jaehyun smirked, which made Taeyong's blood arise to his cheeks. "Comfort room. What else?"

Jaehyun acted disappointed, or maybe he really is, but the important thing is- Taeyong's in front of him.

"Aren't you going to give me anything?" He asked. Taeyong's forehead creased cause of the question, "Give you what?"

"I don't know, maybe a goodluck kiss? Not sure though." Jaehyun prevented himself from smiling while avoiding the other's gaze, "Kiss? Why would I? Are we back together?"

Taeyong's the one who smirk this time with his arms crossed, Jaehyun looked back at him again with a frown. "I forgot." He hissed softly.

The older's at the urge of laughing but he's stopping himself. They're not back together, maybe flirting? Taeyong isn't ready yet but Jaehyun assured him that he'll wait.
