Results Of A Decade Attraction • Moon Taeil

14

After eating dinner downstairs I come up to the room, hoping to sleep well. But the long black object on the bed vibrates next to Kun's sleeping figure. His phone. I first climb into bed and close the light before deciding if I want to go into the group again. The temptation of its continuous vibrations lead me to the decision of opening it.

Going straight into the familiar NCT Group Chat, I brace myself for the chats.

Doyoung:
Today was fun!

Mark:
Those were the best brownies I've ever had in my entire life.

Johnny:
But that was bread.

Chenle:
For those who don't know, we went to the mall.

Jisung:
I wanna know what was Taeil's condition when you saw him.

Jaehyun:
He looked tired when he got to the meet up spot.

Taeyong:
I almost thought he died when his mom led me to his room this morning. He looked like a sleeping corpse. But after showering, a bit of exercise and some tv he got better.

Sungchan:
When are you going to pay me back, Taeyong?

Taeyong:
Just let it slide.

Renjun:
<referring to Sungchan's message> pay you back for what?

Mark:
He bought sneakers for Taeyong while we were buying for Taeil.

Xiaojun:
How is Taeil?

Jungwoo:
He's better than before.

Haechan:
Lemme take a video.

Johnny:
Then we have Haechan

Haechan:

[From the side of Taeil's room -where Haechan's sitting- we see Taeil sitting on his bed and lifting a dumbbell. "Fifty four... fifty five... fifty six... fifty seven-" Taeil counts in between breaths. "Bro, do you know you threatened me yesterday?" Haechan asks. "I... did?" Taeil manages to say through pants as he counts. "You were scary. I thought you would kill me." says a sulking Haechan. Taeil does the final count then stands up. "Bro come online and chat with us in the group," Haechan suggests. "No." Taeil rejects. "Why?" Haechan asks. "Huh, I need a drink." Taeil confesses after stretching. "No don't! Please baby, don't do this again. You promised me that you wouldn't." Haechan pleads and stands up to block the door. "Ahh baby, why are you so protective?" Taeil steps closer to Haechan with a silly grin. "This is a video. The guys can see you, so don't do anything stupid!" Haechan turns the phone around to prove that it's a video. "Ah," Taeil gasps, "Hello and goodnight everyone." He waves when Haechan films him again.]
