DRAMA CLUB | NCT DREAM

11

after school, chenle and jisung showed up at the theatre hall where the three juniors were waiting for them.

"hi guys!", hyuck greeted them first and embraced them into a hug — he loved giving hugs.

jeno and jaemin welcomed them with a smile and waved happily at them.

chenle and jisung greeted them back after the boy with purple hair had released them. they all took a seat on the couch in the backstage room while jeno and jaemin were sitting on bean bags.

"mrs. cha will come soon, she must be on her way now", donghyuck informed, excitement was written on his face as he couldn't wait for them to join.

"wait, how come we haven't seen her last time?", jisung asked confusedly. "yeah, right", chenle complied with narrowed eyebrows.

"it's because we didn't have an official club meeting. for now, we don't have official gatherings as we don't have enough members yet but we're still allowed to use the theatre hall", jaemin answered.

"we sometimes hang out in the theatre hall in our leisure time. mrs. cha allowed us to be here after school as long as we remain the hall clean and don't damage anything", hyuck explained as the two younger boys nodded understanding.

"also, we should leave the school building before late afternoon. there are strict times as the building gets locked up afterwards", jeno added, leaning back in his bean bag.

chenle and jisung nodded once again. "it's really cool that mrs. cha let you hang out in the theatre hall outside the club", the orange haired boy mentioned with a little smile.

"yeah, she's a really cool teacher and allowed us many things. she gave us much freedom which we're grateful for", jaemin agreed, his corner of his lips turned upwards when he recalled all the nice memories with their drama club teacher.

"oh dear, i apologize for arriving late!", a female voice exclaimed, drawing the attention of everyone. they glanced at the woman standing in the doorframe who was wearing a warm smile on her lips.

"that's alright, mrs. cha", hyuck chuckled softly. "you don't need to stress about that." her smile grew wider when she heard those words from her beloved students.

then, she spotted two new boys who she didn't know yet but her face lit up at their sight. "oh! i assume you are our newbies, right?", mrs. cha asked the two youngest boys in the room, receiving a nod as an answer.

"i welcome you to our drama club! i hope you'll have a great time there", she smiled brightly as she approached them and stood in front of them. "do you have any questions before signing up?"

while chenle, jisung and mrs. cha were busy talking about the drama club and signing up afterwards, donghyuck's phone vibrated, signalising that he had received new messages.

the purple haired boy took his phone out of his pocket and glanced at his device.

" 2 new messages from unknown "

his eyebrow rose as he didn't know who this could be. hyuck unlocked his phone and clicked on the chat with the unknown number.
