TAEIL
- NCT 127 -

'why is taeil even in the group?'

'taeil is just a waste of space in nct!'

'it would be so much better if taeil wasn't in the group.'

'i don't think there's a point in taeil even being in nct. he literally does nothing and he's so untalented and doesn't deserve the other members.'

taeil sighed as he read all the hate comments from their last video. it was no doubt that he had been getting tons of hate lately, and it seemed like he was the only one that noticed. of course he got a lot of love from real nctzens, but he couldn't help but only focus and recognize the negative comments and things said about him.

the other members hadn't said anything, so he was guessing that they either hadn't noticed or didn't care. he was hoping that it was the first option. if he was being honest, he wanted to tell the members about all the hate he was getting and how he felt about it, but he didn't have the guts to and what would they be able to do about it anyway.

taeil turned off his phone and placed it down on the bed, not wanting to look at all the comments anymore. he would be lying if he said that he didn't believe the the comments at least a bit. i mean, so many people had said it, that he was starting to believe that they were completely true.

"taeil hyung! come here, we're going to do a vlive!" he suddenly heard Mark call from another room.

he sighed and grabbed his phone again before getting up off the bed and leaving the room. he walked to where the other 127 members were and saw all of them sitting on the couch, ready to go live.

he sat down on the empty seat at the end of the sofa and as soon as he was sat, they started the live. they all waited a few minutes for people to join and once they had enough people, they started to talk.

well... except for taeil.

he just kept quiet while looking at the vlive on his phone so he could see what the comments were saying. he would rather just not look at the comments and join in with the other members, but for some reason he couldn't help but instantly look at them.

and unfortunately, he saw the thing he expected to see. hate comments about him. this live was supposed to be for cznennies and that confused him since he kept seeing so many negative comments about himself.

he carried on reading through them when suddenly his phone was taken from his hands. he looked to see who did it and saw johnny now holding his turned off phone, still focusing on the other members who were talking.

taeil furrowed his eyebrows and sighed, crossing his arms and sitting back in his seat. he was hoping that johnny would eventually give it back, but after ten minutes he still hadn't given back and gave up.

he tried looking at one of the other members' phones to see the comments, but johnny immediately (but gently) pushed him back to his seat without sparing a single glance or word to him. taeil rolled his eyes and sighed, slumping in his seat.

🌸🌸🌸

they finally ended the live after around an hour and johnnny still hadn't given the phone back. as soon as they ended the vlive, taeil turned to johnny and held his hand out. It gained the attention of the other members as well.

"give me my phone back," he said, still holding out his hand.

johnny shook his head and kept the phone in his hand. "i'm not giving it to you."

"why?" taeil asked, frustrated.

"because i know exactly what you're going to do," johnny told him and taeil scoffed.

"and what's that?" taeil didn't expect johnny to actually know why.

johnny sighed. "look at the stupid hate comments you're getting that aren't even true."

"but they are true―︎" taeil cut himself off when he realized what he said and covered his mouth.

the other members looked at him, shocked, while johnny sighed and shook his head.

"they aren't true, taeil," johnny started. "as much as you might think they are, they definitely aren't and many, many, many people would agree with me."

"like who?" taeil asked, an eyebrow raised but the others could tell that he was hiding the fact that he was sad.

suddenly jungwoo stood up and walked over to taeil. he shoved johnny over without speaking to him and sat in his place next to taeil. he showed the older his phone and slowly scrolled through it.

"all these true czennies that love you and adore you for who you are. not those fakes," jungwoo said with a smile and taeil carefully took the phone from him.

he continued to scroll through the phone and all he saw were positive comments about him and about how much they loved him.

'OMG, taeil's so adorable! i love him so much!'

'those people saying taeil doesn't deserve to be in nct are delusional. nct wouldn't be the same without him.'

'i hope taeil always stays happy. he deserves EVERYTHING GOOD in the world.'

'taeil is so talented. he's literally perfect and i don't get why some people don't see that.'

'TAEIL TIMEEE!'

'i hope taeil knows how special and appreciated he is. not just by nctzens, but by his members as well. they love him so much and i hope he knows and sees that."

'taeil is LITERALLY just the cutest person ever like wth!'

taeil couldn't help but tear up a bit at all the comments. he felt happy to see all the nice comments about him and finally he wasn't focusing on the bad and negative ones. he looked up to the other members and they all smiled at him.

he was a bit shocked when suddenly jungwoo hugged him, but he hugged back and eventually all the other members joined in.

after around a minute, they all pulled away and sat back in their places, looking at taeil.

"it's true. we do love you. from now on, i want you to promise me that you'll only focus on the nice things said about you, okay? and if this happens again, tell us so we can help you, yeah?" the leader told him.

"yes, i promise."
