Detention | NCT Lee Taeyong x reader

44

We walked to my apartment. We didn't speak much on our way there. I didn't really know what to say. After we arrived at my apartment I quickly went to freshen up. Taeyong was on the couch watching TV.

"Hey Taeyong. I have some more oversized clothes in the other room. That's where you are staying." I said walking out of my bedroom. He nodded and went to freshen up. I went to make something to eat for him. 

I decided that I will prepare bibimbap for him. Even though I am not Korean, I have watched a lot of Korean cooking shows and I have cooked with Amber countless of times.

I cut the vegetables and rinse them. Then I boiled them for a while. I quickly made rice as well. I then cut some meat and seasoned it. I then cooked the meat. Some people prefer to use raw seasoned meat but I'm just trying to lower the chances of salmonella and/ or tapeworm. I also fried eggs.

I then placed all of them in a bowl nicely. Right then Taeyong came out of the room he was in and came to the kitchen. "Woah." He said. "I present to you, Y/n's homecooked bibimbap." I said with a smile.

"You are such a wifey material." He said. "Shut up." I replied. "What would you want to drink?" I asked walking to the fridge. "Some water will do." He said. I grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to him.

We both sat down at the table. He began to eat. "Wow this is amazing." He said looking wide eyed at the food. "You think so?" I asked and he nodded. "You haven't been in Korea for long but you can already cook bibimbap this good?" He asked. I just smiled shyly.

"I have some snacks in the cabinet if you want. I also have ice cream." I said and stood up. I sat down in the living room and opened my Korean book. I was learning the vocabularies because recently I have been hearing so many words that I have no clue what they are.

As I was studying, I suddenly felt a shadow behind me. "Korean vocab?" I heard Taeyong say. "Yes. I have been struggling." I said and sighed. "I also need to study." He said. "Can I borrow your English book?" He asked. 

I gave him my book and we each began to study individually. I stood up to get some soda for myself and he followed. "Do you have dried sweet potatoes?" He asked and I pointed to the cabinet. We then went back and proceeded to study. 

I was getting very angry at myself for not remembering certain words. "Taeyong, do you want to go out for a bit?" I asked and he nodded. We both stood up and went to the park near my apartment. The walk there was quiet. Just cars passing by.

When we arrived at the park, we sat down. Taeyong was still eating his dried sweet potato and I was drinking my soda. "Taeyong, are you feeling better?" I asked him and he hummed. "I feel like what I did was wrong in a way." He said after.

"Why is that?" I asked. "Well they say you have to respect your elders." He said. "True but that was just a moment of rage. I do think you should've express your rage differently though." I said sipping my drink.

"What would you do if she was your mother?" He asked me. "I think I would ignore her and talk to her when I am ready." I replied. "But what if she forces you to speak with her?" He asked. "I would simply reply with 'I am not ready for this conversation. If you want forgiveness, wait for me.'" I said.

"Y/n, would you forgive someone like that?" He asked eating his sweet potatoes. "I think I can if I put my past behind me and try to make new memories. If I were you, I would plan a day that I know I will be free to talk to her." I said.

Taeyong kept quiet. "It's because of her that I started to hang with those suckers." He said after a while. "Why is that?" I asked. "Well when my sister moved out she was in university and didn't have much time to work and I was a minor that couldn't work." He began.

"I lived with her and she had a boyfriend named Junghoon. He was nice enough to help me and my sister find an apartment. He also offered to pay me if I work with him. After they broke up I couldn't really leave Junghoon. He would threaten to kill my sister and do horrible things if I do. He got me drunk knowing that I can't drink and stabbed me." He said looking at the sky.

"And that's when I met you. If my mother wasn't so angry with my dream for such a long time, I wouldn't be involved with Junghoon." He said. "And we would've never met." I said looking on the bright side. 

"I want to be away from Junghoon." He said. "What do you do anyway?" I asked. "You know how I refuse to say that I am in a gang? Well it's something like that but I just make sure no one sees what they do." He said.

I kept quiet. "I know you might be disappointed but-" "No no it's fine. I'm not." I cut him off. "Well I never really know what they do. I just know that they tell me to stand there and make sure nobody goes near that's what I do." He said.

"So you were not involved in a way." I said and he nodded. "We should head back. It's getting chilly." I said and we stood up. "I think I will talk to my mom after exams." He said and I smiled. "Good." I said. 

Our walk back was same as before. Quiet. When we arrived we just watched TV and feel asleep on the couch. Well I was on the couch. He was on the floor. 

-Next day-

My phone began to rang. I looked at the caller ID. It was Yuri. "Ah shit!" I cursed and got up. "Hello Yuri?" I answered the phone. "Ayo. Where are you?" She asked. "I'm home with Taeyong." I said knowing that she was going to have a reaction.

"Oh shit- Ok have fun." She said and hung up. I giggled and called her back. "I think I will be skipping today." I said. "OK well I will be annoying Narae." She said. "And what about Jaehwan?" I asked. "I'll let you know how my day goes." She said.

"Yuri! Give me your phone!" I heard the professor say. "Yeah I got to go." She said and hung up.

I wanted to make breakfast but I was to lazy. I just freshen myself up and went to the café near my apartment. I bought croissants, fruits and coffee. I then went back to my apartment.

Taeyong was awake just scrolling on his phone. "Good morning." I said to him. "Morning." He said. He stood up and went to get ready. I waited for him. Shortly after he came back. "Y/n my mom texted me." He said.

"How did you feel when you saw the message?" I asked. "Disturbed." He responded. "Ok ok um... how about we just eat and worry about that later. You don't want to start your day disturbed." I said and he smiled.
