Enemies | Lee Jeno NCT

chapter 4

"Time to do stretches!" the dance teacher shouted, motivating everyone to stretch. "Does anyone want to lead?" the teacher asked and no one replied. "Ok then I'll pick someone..." she said now pointing at all of them one by one. "Haejin!" she raised her voice a bit and Haejin did as she was told.

-- After stretches --

"Alright, get into your assigned duos! Remember, this is the last practice you're gonna do here because you're performing next week!" she said and everyone nodded. There were only around thirty people who attended dance after school. Y/N enjoys it because honestly, when she's at home, she feels bored most of the time, but when she dances, she enjoys learning different dances.

Her dance partner that is assigned for her is a boy called Lee Taeyong. He's in the same grade as Y/N, just a bit older than her. They've been friends ever since they met each other at dance. They were both glad they were assigned to be dance partners for this performance.

Everyone was with their partners now. Taeyong was making his way to where Y/N was. She was getting their music ready and smiled once she saw Taeyong. Taeyong did the usual and pat her back whenever he sees her. "I didn't see you around school today." Y/N said now standing up. "Same for me, where are you these days Y/N?" he asked and Y/N laughed it off.

"We need to practice a lot today!" Y/N said and Taeyong nodded whilst ruffling his hair. "Hm, are you free on Sunday? We can practice then too if you like." Taeyong asked and Y/N was thinking about it. "Yeah, I should be free." she said and Taeyong nodded. "Alright! Let's practice." he said excitedly. The dance practice room is really big, so everyone can easily have their space and dance without a problem.

-- 20 minutes later --

Y/N and Taeyong were breathing heavily as they just danced for twenty minutes straight. They were both laying down on the floor with sweat glistening their foreheads and neck. "I think we did it." Y/N said as she sat up to drink some water. "Yeah... the choreo at the end is crazy! Yah, how do you do it so well?" he asked the girl and she shrugged her shoulders whilst laughing a bit.

"I practiced that part a lot." she said as Taeyong gulped his water down. "Another practice?" she asked and Taeyong stopped drinking his water. "Yeah." he said as he stood up and so did the girl.

-- 5:00pm --

Y/N was going home after dance. She was exhausted. She wanted to go to the convenience store because she wanted to buy some ramen, she was really craving it. She went to the first convenience store she saw, it was in the more open area, just near her school. There were people walking in and out. A few people from her school were seen too.

Since this convenience store was a bit different compared to the one near her house, she carefully looked for the ramen section. That was easy, because there was a lot of ramen, so it easily caught her eye.

She wanted the samyang buldak carbonara one. It was spicy and Y/N has a good spice tolerance. She also got some gimbap and banana milk. She paid for the things she bought and made her way out of the store.

But she got stopped.

As she was about to walk out, a boy walked from the left side and bumped into the girl, causing the bag in her hand to fall. "Yah!-" she said but stopped herself once she met eyes with the boy she just bumped into.

"Yah?" he said making Y/Ns heart beat really fast. She looked away from his eyes and quickly picked her bag up that fell. She walked the opposite direction of where the boy was standing, so to the right.

The boy didn't let her go easily though.

He grabbed her wrist, causing Y/N to turn her head around. She wasn't scared now. She looked at him right in the eyes. Lee Jeno. She hates that name. "Let go of me." she simply said and Jeno chuckled quietly before walking closer to her, still holding her wrist. She couldn't break out of his grip because he was much stronger than her.

"Have we met before?" he asked looking down at her, giving her space. Y/N didn't answer back, instead she stared ahead. Jeno was waiting for a reply, but he let go of her because he realised he was wasting his time asking a stupid question he already knew the answer to.

Y/N turned and carried on walking the other way again. Jeno was also walking her way, but Y/N was already quite far and Jeno was on his phone, making him walk a bit slower than usual.

Doesn't he have a girlfriend? He should be grabbing her wrist, not mine. Y/N was lost in her thoughts again. She was angry because Jeno ruined her mood, plus, she was already feeling exhausted. What's up with him these days. Y/N thought, but shook her head to stop getting lost in her thoughts.

-- At home --

Y/N was on a call with Yerin. She didn't tell her what happened at the store with Jeno. She didn't feel like telling Yerin for some reason. "Y/N-ah, all these dresses! I'm so jealous." Yerin said and Y/N agreed whilst smiling. "Let's go shopping tomorrow!" Y/N said. "Sure. I'll ask my mum to drive us there." Yerin said. "I wanna buy a dress just like the ones I see on Pinterest." Yerin said emphasizing the 'just'. Y/N laughed whilst smiling.

"Oh, I think my cousin's here." Yerin said suddenly. "Oh." Y/N said. "Ah, he is here... I'll text you tomorrow? We're gonna come pick you up." Yerin said. "Hm, ok" she answered. "Byee" they both said at the same time and ended the call.

Y/N checked all of her socials before getting up to eat some dinner. She was sure her mum had already cooked because it was almost 8pm, there's always food ready before 8pm.

She rushed down the stairs, not seeing anyone there. Her mum didn't tell her she'd be going out? But there was food cooked. Eh, she'll be back. The girl thought, plating herself some food. I should study today... she thought as she sat down on the stool.

-- 10:25pm --

Y/N was laying down on her bed, scrolling through social media. Her mum still wasn't back, but her dad was. He arrived a while before. She was happy to see her dad. She asked her dad about her mum, but he only said, she'll be back, making the girl confused.

She was scrolling through Insta, liking some posts and reels she saw. Most of them were edits of her favourite K-drama actors. She couldn't get enough of those. "Seojun, you're so handsomee" she said fangirling at the edit she was looking at. She widened her eyes at the next post.

"What?! Why is he-" she said and immediately scrolled. It was a post of Jeno, Haechan and Jaemin. Crazy right? He just won't leave her alone. But something everyone would do, is scroll back up just to see the post and what's it about, what place they are in... you know? She scrolled back up and looked at the caption, it just tagged Haechan and Jaemins accounts. She opened the comments, expecting the typical fangirls.

"ur all so handsome oh my gosh..."

"oppa i go to your school!! do you know me??"

"HANDSOMEEEEEE"

"😳😳"

She furrowed her eyebrows a bit and scoffed at a few of the delusional comments she was seeing. Until she saw a comment talking about Jeno and Hana.

"so ur girlfriend is kim hana??"

She saw a reply and it was from Jeno.

"no. we were never a thing to begin with. that photo was fucking photoshopped!!"

Y/N bit her bottom lip and widened her eyes a bit, interested to know more. Never a thing? Photoshopped photo? she thought. Now she was really confused. She screenshotted the comment. She didn't know if she wanted to believe his reply. But that explains why Hana looks like the situation isn't bothering her, she doesn't care. Jeno looks more angry and annoyed. Is Hana that desperate for attention? the girl thought as she was remembering the events that happened in school, possibly figuring everything out.

Oh, Y/N... you're onto something.
