Roommates | NCT Doyoung

twenty one

Doyoung got home from school and the first thing he needed to talk to Jena about was his parents business gala. He had to ask her soon since it was coming up so quickly. "Jena." He called out while the girl was sitting on the couch watching television with her round glasses on. "Can I ask you something?"

Jena watched Doyoung coming over to sit on the couch next to her. She took this time to grab the remote to turn off the television, giving Doyoung her full undivided attention. "What is it?"

"Be my plus one to my parents business gala." Doyoung spurred his thoughts out without even thinking. "My parents expects me to bring a plus one."

Honestly, Jena didn't have much reaction to it but she agreed right away. What could go wrong? "I'll go with you."

"Really?" Doyoung's eyes brighten up. Jena nodded up and down happily. "Oh my god thank you so much. I thought I would have to convince you."

"Yeah, it's nice to dress up once in a while." Jena shrugged. Doyoung pulled her in for a hug.

"Thank you Jena." Doyoung snuggled into her picking her up as she was sitting on top of him.

"Doyoung-" Jena was surprised at his sudden action. He pulled her closer towards him.

Doyoung started tucking Jena's hair behind her ear and she gulped at the sudden change of tension. "Did I ever tell you how fucking beautiful you are?"

"No but-" Jena didn't even finish her sentence and Doyoung smashed his lips against hers. She felt intoxicated and could resist to his deep and passionate kissing. She kissed him back and had her arms around him, devouring each and every part of his mouth.

Eventually, Doyoung carried Jena up from the couch as lips never parted. Jena's legs were wrapped around Doyoung's waist and he walked to Jena's room. He closed the door with his foot and placed her on the bed. Unholy noises came out of both Jena and Doyoung's mouth as the round started for the evening.

Jena walked with Doyoung in the school building together the next day and luckily her thighs and stomach weren't sore anymore. Doyoung definitely went harder than last time they had sex but Jena wasn't sure how she was able to recover quickly.

He walked Jena to class and simply dropped her off, leaving. "Are you going home with Jungwoo today?"

"Yeah." Jena scratched her head lightly. "I got my mechanical engineering project to work on."

"Sounds good, I'll see you later." He gave her a hug before he left and she reciprocated the hug.

Jena went inside of the classroom went to her usual seat next to Jungwoo as he also gave her a hug too. "How's my short best friend doing?"

"I'm doing great." Jena flashed a smile at Jungwoo while he was taking something out. It was a goodie bag with a bunch of different snacks from the convenient store. "What's this?"

"I know you tend to forget to eat so in case you have no time to cook or anything or just lose energy. You can find them in your backpack and snack on them. Oh yeah, you're not paying me back for theses." Jungwoo beamed his smile passing the goodies to Jena.

"Thanks Jungwoo. I'll make sure to eat them and take better care of myself." Jena happily placed the goodie bag in her backpack. It wasn't until long the professor was supposed to come into the classroom and start.

"So anyways?" Jungwoo raised his eyebrow, smirking at Jena. "What's with you and Doyoung? Dating each other yet?"

Jena blushed a little bit, off guard at Jungwoo questions. "So you do like him...."

"I-" Jena got a hiccup trying to process her words to Jungwoo. "I mean... I guess? He's sweet and takes care of me."

"So did you guys do it?" Jungwoo asked another question at Jena.

"Jungwoo! Keep it down!" Jena whispered shouted seeing that there are other classmates in the classroom. "I don't want people hearing about it!"

"Omo!" Jungwoo covered his mouth but honestly he was happy at the same time. The professor just came in to the classroom setting up. This was a chance for Jungwoo to ask one last question. "Was he good?"

"Oh my god Jungwoo, can you shut it? The professor is about to start the lesson."

Jena walked to her project area and she was extremely shocked. Her project had a minor explosion and the professor had to come in to record it. He gave Jena an extended date only if she can prove that it wasn't her doing. Jena kept repeating the steps in mind that there was no way she constructed her project wrong.

"Jena.... You can't stand here forever. It's dangerous." Jungwoo came to her side, trying to catch her attention since she stood frozen.

"I don't know what happened." Jena tried to get closer but Jungwoo pulled her back since it was a hazard area. "There's got to be a way to fix it! I can't just start over! I haven't tested all parts of my project completely! How would I know?"

"I don't know what happened either but I don't think you've made a mistake. The issue was a rookie mistake for placing the wrong gear in the wrong place. I don't think you would've done that. You've worked harder on your project then I did." Jungwoo rubbed circles on her back. Jena looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm going home alone. I don't wanna be near anyone right now." Jena grabbed her belongings and darted out of her lab. Jungwoo tried to call for her but he was too late as he was stopped by Doyoung.

Doyoung looked at the running girl and turned around to the worried boy who stood outside the lab. "What happened to taking Jena home?"

"Her project is sabotaged. It means she needs to start over. She's getting reassigned to a new station. There was a minor explosion. No one got hurt though." Jungwoo sighed wiping his dry tears. "She's been so stressed about it for most of the semester already."

Doyoung was heartbroken hearing the news from Jungwoo, walking into the lab immediately to Jena's station. What Jungwoo said was right and there was a caution line to not get closer. He saw something very unusual and took a couple of picture of the area first, then he picked it up.

It was a bracelet, but it wasn't an ordinary bracelet. It was carved and there was a name. Once Doyoung took a look at the name, he got extremely bitter and walked outside to Jungwoo.

"Look." Doyoung opened his hand. "There was a suspicious bracelet near Jena's station. I don't know how you guys missed picking it up."

Jungwoo tilted his head. He also never seen it before. "Weird, they probably didn't pick it up cause it was past the hazard line. I'm not sure."

"Look at the name Jungwoo." Doyoung brought up his hand closer to Jungwoo so that he can take a look at it.

"Wait a minute." Jungwoo saw that name, trying to recall the situation. "Why is that girl of yours on there?"

"Oh my god Jungwoo, she wasn't one to begin with." Doyoung rolled his eyes looking at the name 'Na Gaeun' engraved in the bracelet. "Gaeun sabotaged Jena's project."

"Fuck her." Jungwoo spat out and took the bracelet from him. "I'm turning her in."

"Let me send you some pictures first so that it doesn't look like Gaeun was framed. She's the culprit." Doyoung took out his phone and send the pictures he took earlier from Jungwoo.

"Got them." Jungwoo checked his phone. "I'll see you later. Take care of Jena okay?"

Doyoung agreed to Jungwoo's words because honestly Jena was the only thing that was on his mind right now. He wanted to see her so badly, rushing home from school.
