Roommates | NCT Doyoung

fourteen

Jeno came out of his last class, ready to go home from school. He was on his way to meet his roommates in case they had changed their plans. Usually, it would be Mark and Erin.

Unexpectedly, Jeno had bumped into Jaehyun and Alice. The two guys beamed a smile at each other while Alice looked like she was pissed after beating someone up. She whispered to Jaehyun before leaving and didn't bother saying hi to Jeno and brushing past him.

"What's with Alice today?" Jeno asked Jaehyun, confusingly.

"She's mad that the brother Jena has been talking about was you all along. It's one of the top news in school." Jaehyun shrugged, not caring about the gossip. "Also, Gaeun again."

"Why is she trying to get involved with Jena?" Jeno asked Jaehyun in a dark tone, ignoring the other statement because it turns out it was a small world after all.

"You didn't know?" Jaehyun leaned in and whispered to Jeno. "Jena's living with Doyoung in his apartment?"

Jeno cocked his eyebrow, surprised at Jaehyun's words right now. "You're telling me that Doyoung has moved on from Eunjin? He swore he wouldn't let anyone live with him after Eunjin left..."

"Your cousin convinced him." Jaehyun pulled his backpack up so that it stays.

"Taeyong." Jeno blurred out, knowing the answer immediately and switching back to the topic. "I mean that's cool but I don't really associate myself with Jena. I don't know why Gaeun has an issue with her even if Doyoung's not involved. It's not really my place to stand. I'll head out now. Bye Jaehyun." Jeno waved at the man after spotting Haechan and Mark waiting for him.

Jaehyun turned back to Jeno who was walking in the opposite direction, confused as to why Jeno would act this way towards his sister. After all, Jaehyun didn't know they were siblings until Jena transferred to the university.

Did something happen between Jeno and Jena?

Jena's stomach was full after eating a great dinner made by Doyoung. She was sitting on her bed currently, having an ice pack on her head where she got hit. Doyoung was sitting on the edge of her bed to keep her company but to also prevent any further injuries that Jena can potentially make for herself.

"Are you feeling better?" Doyoung asked laced with concern in his voice.

"Yeah..." Jena rubbed her head softly with her hand. "It's just a little hit."

"Jena you blacked out from it." Doyoung told her off, responding a little harshly even though it was out of worry. "It was not a little hit to me."

Jena just shrugged, lips forming into a smile to reassure to Doyoung that she was fine. "Please Doyoung, I'm okay. We're okay now. I'm not mad or anything."

"I know but..." Doyoung still feels guilty on why Jena was getting hurt in the first place.

Jena didn't know what took over her but she moved closer to Doyoung, engulfing him into a hug. Doyoung's eyes widened slightly at the physical touch that he was given, feeling nervous at first but later wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer.

This was the first time Jena and Doyoung had ever shared physical touch, with tranquility. There was no background noises but just them. After a while, they broke off the hug.

"You should head to bed. It's getting late." Jena suggested while checking the time on her phone. "Get lots of rest."

"Thanks." Doyoung got up from Jena's bed. "You should head to sleep too. You have to rest a lot since you're hurt now."

Jena chuckled softly, moving her hair back to reposition herself on the bed before laying down. "I won't be injured for too long."

"Okay then." Doyoung went to the door of Jena's room, preparing to close it. "Good night Jena."

"Good night Doyoung."

Jena woke up in the middle of the night hearing abrupt talking from the other side of the apartment. She was a light sleeper so things didn't help. She got out of her bed and walked towards Doyoung's room. She slowly opened the door, inching closer and closer to him to see that he was sweating, twisting and turning in his sleep. His eyes was screwed shut.

"Eunjin, I'm sorry, please don't leave me."

"I love you."

"I should've been a better boyfriend."

"It's all my fault."

Tears were brimming in Doyoung's eyes and Jena was starting to get worried. She didn't care what words he was mumbling but he was definitely having a nightmare.

"Doyoung." Jena shook him softly to see if he would wake up.

No response.

"Doyoung." Jena shook him harder and spoke in a louder tone, laced with worry.

Luckily, Doyoung's eyes shot open, as his eyes traveled around to see if he was still in his room. Once his eyes traveled to Jena, his heart sank and covered the duvet over him. Tears were still dropping as he cried silently. He didn't want Jena to see the vulnerable side of him.

"Hey... what's wrong?" Jena started rubbing Doyoung's arm, over the duvet where he basically cocooned himself.

"Go away." Doyoung's voice broke in the saddest way possible. Jena's heart summed just by hearing the tone of his voice.

"You were having a nightmare." Jena softly spoke to him, being aware to not scare him. "I was worried."

"It was nothing." Doyoung's voice started to become unbearable for Jena but she stayed.

Jena sat down on the edge of the bed, eventually making her way to find her hands with his and lacing them together. Doyoung was far from reluctant from resisting against Jena, holding her hand tighter than she did.

She rubbed circles on his hand with her thumbs slowly, hearing Doyoung's breaths have became steady and slower as he slowly stopped crying. After a while, Jena decided that it was time to go back to her room to get some sleep too.

Jena slowly let go of Doyoung's hand, but instead he held it tighter.

"Stay."

Her heartbeat instantly went up, processing what Doyoung had just said to her. In a split second, Doyoung came out of the duvet and pulled Jena in bed with him, covering her with the duvet also.

Doyoung pulled Jena extremely close to him, to the point where their bodies were against each other. Jena's cheeks flustered red especially the fact that she could hear his breathing against her neck. She even saw some of the sweat on his forehead from the nightmare he was having earlier.

She couldn't escape his grasp, but instead she slowly brought her arm around his neck, keeping the close proximity. Her eyes were battling to stay awake while Doyoung's were already close.

But what she didn't know was that Doyoung started to lean closer and closer to her, feeling his hot breathes. He placed his lips on hers, kissing it softly for a few seconds before letting go.

"Doyoung-" Jena tried to mumble out a voice, quickly getting shushed by the man after who pecked her one more time with his soft lips.

He also brought his hand to rub her head where she got hit by the textbook, caressing it softly before his hand went back to her waist, keeping her close to him in bed.

"Go to sleep, Jena."

Jena obeyed Doyoung and sleep took over the both of them shortly after.
