NCT Dream One Shots

Saranghae - Jaemin

"Aish, Jaemin, what happened to you?" You breathed out as you continued running to the dorms. You finally got there and fumbled with the key, your sweaty hands shaking slightly. "Jaemin! Are you okay!" You yelled and burst in.

Your frantic eyes searched the room and found Jaemin, sitting on the couch calmly while watching TV and eating popcorn. "Jaemin! Are you okay?" You were at his side in a second and you looked at him, checking for any injuries. He turned to you and shook his head silently.

"Then why are you so quiet? I almost got a heart attack when you sent that text." You rubbed your throbbing forehead. "Mianhe, Y/N." Jaemin spoke up quietly. You softened at the sight of Jaemin. "What's wrong, Jaemin? You said cautiously. "You seem not yourself. You're healing fine, right? Does your back still hurt?" Your caring side kicked in again.

Jaemin sighed and leaned back into the couch. "I just miss everyone. The guys, my family, and... you."

You went silent and sat down next to him, trying to ignore that your cheeks were as red as a firetruck. "You know, we've been missing you, Jaemin. We miss seeing that bright smile of yours." You poked his cheek playfully. He gave you that smile that you've always adored. "Thank you, Y/N. I don't know what I would do without you."

You tugged on the hem of your shirt, a habit you always did when you were nervous or flustered. "Same here," you murmured so that you could only hear. You realized what you said and suddenly cleared your throat to avoid an awkward atmosphere. You said to him, "Is that all? Was there another reason you called me here?"

"Actually, yes. It seemed okay over text, but now, it kinda feels weird to day this is in person," he said while scratching his head. You tilted your head and waited expectantly. He gestured for you to come closer. He whispered in your ear, "Can... can you maybe give me a hug? I know this sounds weird and all, but hugs and cuddles calm me down." He looked quite serious as he said it. Stumbling back and laughing nervously, you said, "Am I your friend or your teddy bear, Jaemin?"

His eyes widened and looked down bashfully. "Oh. Sorry, I shouldn't have ask-" He was cut off by you giving him a gentle hug, being careful not to hurt him.

You snuggled into his chest and curled your legs up onto the couch. "Are you healing okay? Did you want me to get you something?" You look up and stare into his eyes. Grinning, he shook his head no and nuzzled his face into your hair. He grabbed your hands and locked them together. "Just stay here with me." He said and closed his eyes.

A few moments later, you hear light snoring and look up at his face. "Why do I deserve a friend like you?" You whispered and leaned into him. You continued to stare and you sighed. "I like you, Jaemin. No, I love you. You don't know how long I've been wanting to say that." You looked down at your intertwined hands. "Guess I decided to say it while you're asleep. I'm such a pabo." You shook your head at yourself.

"And I'm such a pabo for not realizing it sooner."

You yelped and reared back, surprised that Jaemin was still awake. "H-how long have y-you been a-awake?" You stuttered. He smiled and brought you back to his embrace, wrapping his arms around you like a warm, cozy blanket.

"Long enough," he pressed his cheek lightly against yours, nuzzling it slightly. "This is not the way I imagined how I would confess." You mumbled.

He pushed your head up so that he could plant a kiss on your cheek. "But it was perfect," he smiled softly and tucked a strand of hair away from your face. You gave him a small smile and snuggled into him more.

"I love you too, Y/N. More than you even know." He whispered as you fell into a deep sleep.

"AY MARK I TOLD YOU! YOU OWE ME TWENTY!"

"Aish! Why couldn't you have confessed later, Y/N?"

You and Jaemin woke to the members grinning at the two of you.

"Her feelings just needed to come out. She was going to explode. Like a Coke bottle." Jaemin rubbed his eyes and ruffled your hair tiredly. "Saranghae, Y/N." He leaned into you again. You blushed bright red.

"Awww! How cute!"

"Oh shut up!"
