Windows | NCT Ten

Chapter 67

Yeona's POV

Well, I just got to experience the savageness of our fandom... Let's just say, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Actually, Ten makes me laugh a lot, but the fandom is equally as hilarious. At least that's what I think.

"Alright, so... What's our plan of action?" Ten asks after we've finally managed to tear ourselves away from the addicting activity of scrolling through comments.

I think for a moment, then realize that I literally know nothing about what's happening and how we should respond to Dispatch. "Uh... I don't know, you tell me."

"Look, a rare moment where Yang Yeona doesn't know more than I do!" he cheers, clapping his hands together. "And this is the one time when your minimal use of the internet works in my favor."

I roll my eyes at him. "Be quiet. Plus, it doesn't really work in your favor, since I have a feeling that you don't know what to do either."

Ten stops, his hands in the air mid-clap. "Okay wait, that's true. I do have a general frame as to how we should respond, though."

"And that's from your experience with my fellow Sasaeng Exterminators being exposed, and how Taeyong and Winwin reacted?" I speculate.

"Shut up," he mutters. "Okay, but seriously. Are you okay with us confirming this whole thing?" After a moment of silence where I don't answer, he adds, "I mean, we can deny it if you want, live our lives in secrecy for a while more, since I know you don't-"

I cut him off with a laugh. "I was just thinking, so you didn't have to get so nervous. Give me a moment to figure this out." At my words, my boyfriend nods and shuts his mouth, opting to pet Luna's paws while allowing me to think.

I sit back and start weighing the two options that we have: Confirm and Deny.

The first option is Confirm. I honestly don't know much about what's going to happen if we confirm things, but from how the other two couples in NCT are doing, I think that things are going to be fine. They're not getting mobbed or attacked, and I don't think those things will happen to me and Ten either.

Plus, we get to live our lives in the open without worrying over getting caught and exposed again. Along with that, I don't have to have that weight where I know that I've lied to the fandom that I'm a part of.

The second option is Deny. I really don't see too much of reason to choose this, because it just causes complications for all of us. We're going to be caught again sooner or later, and then we'll be thrown back into this fiasco and I'll probably regret my decision.

The only thing about choosing Confirm is that it's going to be a little hard to adjust to. Complete strangers might be talking about me because I'm dating an idol... But is it time for a little bit of change?

"Sure, let's confirm it," I announce after a final moment of thought.

Ten sits up straighter, looking at me. "Wait, are you actually okay with that?"

I shrug, playing with Luna's tail. "I mean, I guess it's a little bit out of my comfort zone. Like, the fandom is going to know who I am, and the whole internet... But at the same time, it's probably for the best."

Ten looks like he wants to jump up and hug me, but he's staying where he is because Luna's head is on his lap. "I actually love you."

I pause for a moment, not expecting that sudden confession, but quickly say my response. "Love you too. Now, let's talk to Chunmei or something and get this done."

"No, I want to look at more comments."
"But we have to get this done-"
"But the comments!"
"This is more important-"
"The comments."
"My goodness, you're so stubborn."
"The comments!"
"Fine."
"See, I always win."
"Be quiet."
