🖤💖overwhelmed - Doyoung

Request by: alex_0212

NCT hade been busy all month, three straight weeks of nonstop preparation for their latest comeback. While they are used to this kind of heavy workload, it doesn't mean they don't get overwhelmed sometimes.

Doyoung is really good at pretending he's okay and a lot of the time he ends up being the one who consoles the others when they are stressed out or upset. This week though it was really hitting him hard.

They had just finished their final dance practice for Sticker, and they could finally rest for a day before they had to start promotions.

Doyoung was exhausted. His body hurt, he had a nagging headache and he just wanted to take a break. The others were tired, but they seemed to be in better spirits then doyoung.

They were all hanging out in the kitchen as taeyong cooked dinner chatting and messing around as usual. Haechan was currently latched onto mark trying to kiss mark's cheek as mark aggressively pushed him away. Jaehyun was standing next to taeyong as he stirred the pot on the stove while the others were sat at the island waiting for dinner to be ready.

Doyoung wanted to sleep, he sat with his hands resting under his chin, his elbows propped up on the smooth countertop, his face blank.

He felt someone tap him. he turned to his left and saw johnny with a big smile on his face.

"Hey doyoungie, why the long face huh? Are you bored of us already?" johnny teased as he pinched doyoung's cheek and wiggled it around slightly.

Doyoung fake smiled at the older and removed johnny's hand from his face.

"No hyung, I'm just tired." He said trying to keep a chipper attitude.

"Aww, you're so cute when you're sleepy youngieee." Taeil cooed ruffling doyoung's hair.

He rolled his eyes and gave taeil a look making the eldest laugh.

"I'm sorry doyoung but I can't take you seriously with those puffed out cheeks! You look like a little bunny!" taeil continued to tease.

Doyoung was not in the mood for the boy's games, he just wanted to eat and head straight to bed.

"Stop hyung, I'm not in the mood today." He said simply.

"Aww someone's cranky." Taeyong teased from the stove making the others laugh.

It seemed like this was the day that everyone wouldn't take doyoung seriously. Normally doyoung would play along but his mental state was just not in great condition, and he wished they'd just stop.

"I'm... I'm not cranky. I'm just tired, stop treating me like a baby." Doyoung huffed angrily as he crossed his arms, his cheeks puffing out as he exhaled.

"Awe come on, don't be angry doyoungie, boy's who pout don't get dessert." Taeyong cooed giving him a smile from the stove as jaehyun burst out laughing followed by mark and then haechan.

"He really does act like a toddler doesn't he?" haechan joked as he slapped mark's shoulder in laughter.

"Yeah! Our little doyoungie is a wittle upset isn't he?" johnny said in a baby voice pinching his cheek again.

It didn't seem to end, their teasing, their laughter. Doyoung wished they'd just shut up. yes, he knows they're just joking, he knows he shouldn't listen to them, but he just couldn't take it anymore. He was so exhausted; he was so fed up with having to run around for days going between photoshoots to filming to promotions to practice to recording and then start all over again.
