double dealing - nct, chensung

⇄ 1 ⇄

"okay, 'miracle' is almost over, so wayv are getting out of stage soon! now i want jaehyun, jungwoo, shotaro, chenle and jisung. get ready to join kun and hendery on stage to perform 'vroom'!" the manager yelled backstage as the 16 neos that weren't on stage ran around.

jisung was among them, giggling sillily as one of the make-up artists ran after donghyuck to rearrange his hair.

8 long years had passed since jisung had been accepted into sm entertainment – back in 2013.

and by now, jisung was the maknae of the famous kpop band called nct, getting ready to perform the song 'vroom' from their newest album 'universe' in front of their thousands of fans.

this was the life jisung had always wanted.

being an idol, singing songs and dancing in front of people that admired him, becoming a role model from some of them, and inspiring them all.

jisung absolutely loved it. but sadly, it wasn't all...

he was still the son of the great park and lovely trap, the rulers of korea's biggest mafia. and this implied lots of things – most of which weren't beautiful (so, fuck johnny when he sang 'so be yourself, be beautiful', because jisung was far from being that).

"jaehyun, jungwoo, shotaro, chenle and jisung! on stage right now!"

the group of boys headed on stage, readjusting their mics before positioning themselves to start the dance when the music would be switched on.

this was all thrilling, dancing your life out in front of so many people who loved what you did. it was all jisung ever wanted his life to be like. but he wasn't born in the right family for that...

at least, he still had some time to become the next ruler of death park. he still had some time to finish his idol duties before taking over the business; his parents were still young and in shape, more capable than ever to manage all the criminal activities being a mafia implied.

the song came to an end way too soon to jisung's liking.

the younger member was having too much fun dancing and singing in front of his fans, he would never get enough of it...

but sadly, as the last notes of 'vroom' could be heard, jisung held the final pose before walking out of stage to get ready for his next song which would be 'beautiful', the title track that absolutely didn't represent himself...

"you did so well out there!" taeyong patted jisung's shoulder as soon as the maknae was outstage.

"thank you, hyung." he replied with a smile.

"you can go and change in the changing rooms. the stylists prepared your stuff, don't worry." taeyong continued explaining as he gave glances behind jisung at his members performing the next song. "oh, and don't forget to pass by the make-up artists to ask if they need to do some little touch-ups."

"okay, i'm going then." jisung nodded, heading towards the changing rooms.

the youngest member made his way across the backstage corridors, finally reaching the changing rooms.

after grabbing the new clothes he was supposed to wear, jisung picked his phone from the table and unlocked it when he saw a message from his mother.
