falling for you (nct & stray kids)

chapter 14

taeyongs p.o.v

"jiyoon did what??" i say once haechan comes running to our dressing room "are you serious?" i say getting up, as much as im thankful she shouldn't do that. those netizens could ruin her life. (a/n are they even called that?)

"come on hyung, everyone is trying to calm her down but it's not working" he says pulling my arm.

"is jiyoon ok?" jaehyun says looking at us from his seat.

"i don't know" i say shrugging but im going to her dressing room first.

~~~

"jiyoon are you ok?" i say once we enter their dressing room

"taeyong" she says a lot calmer than i excepted "im sorry"

"why are you sorry? im sorry" i say pulling her into a hug, "im sorry you had to defend me" i say rubbing her back.

"nono i would do it again in a heartbeat. i would continue to defend you for as long as i live" she says smiling widely. "mark said-" she starts but i cut her off

"ahhh 왜!?" i say pretending to sigh. "we were having a perfect brother-sister moment" i say laughing. (why)

"왜그래??" she says whining and laughing. "he comforted me, it was nice" she says smiling sweetly. (why are you like this)

"shut up" i say pushing her away.

"nct, girls 5 minutes" a staff member says peeking into the dressing room

"5! 5 minutes! what am i going to do??" jiyoon says freaking out. "i think i forgot all the dance and my lyrics." she says hiding her face with her hands.

"no you'll be fine, i swear. you'll be fine. i was the same when nct u debuted, i was a mess" i say rubbing her shoulder. "listen to me; i want you to forget what anyone said and what you said, i want you to feel how that stage feels once you step on it. promise me you'll forget what everyone said and just have fun out there." i say looking into her eyes.

"ne oppa" she says smiling, "너를 너무 사랑해." she says hugging me. (i love you so much)

"나도 사랑해" i say hugging her tightly. "go have fun ok." i say before she walks out with nct and her group. (i love you too)

jiyoon's p.o.v

im so glad taeyong came, he always knows how to make me feel better. "omo omo" i say once idols start coming off the stage. "this is really happening. i have goosebumps" i say rubbing my arm. "진짜, feel it!" i say pushing my arm towards mark. (really)

"아니~" he says pushing my arm away. (no)

"you're so cute minhyung~ah" i say pinching his cheeks.

"ughhh" he says sighing. "you drive me crazy, you know that right?" he says pulling my hands away from his face.

"but in a good way right?" i say winking at him. woah where did that come from? maybe im just nervous.

"ah 진짜, i don't know about you sometimes" he says shaking his head. (really)

"so in a bad way? ugh you're so mean to me mark lee" i say playfully glaring at him. "ill stand over there now" i say walking the other direction, sticking out my tongue at him.

but with my luck i bump into someone. "oh 죄송합니다" i say bowing. (sorry)

"oh no it's ok" someone says but then stops, "jiyoon?" he asks

"yeah?.....felix???" i say smiling and hug him "how are you??" i  laugh awkwardly bc we're not really friends.

"oh im great, i heard you're gonna debut soon." he says looking behind me.

"what are yo-" i say before looking behind me. "mark!" i say pushing him away "what're you doing!?"

"just observing" he says shooting daggers at felix.

"왜그래!!?" i say whining, jumping up and down. (why are you like this?)

"lee taeeun you are the cutest ever." he says pinching my cheeks and putting his arm around my shoulder.

"are you guys dating? does your company know?" he says stepping back, "bc you guys are really cute"

"oh my god no no we're not dating!" we say at the same time.

"im still gonna root for you's!" he says smiling big.

"anyways good job on stage" i say trying to change the topic

"oh that, that was nothing." he says laughing it off.

"i really love your song 'hellevator" i say, remembering it only came out like a month ago. "like it was sooo cool" i say laughing.

"yeah everyone says that" he says, also laughing.

"girls, nct 1 minute" the staff lady says coming up to us.

"oh well it was nice seeing you again felix." i say bowing.

"maybe fate will make us meet again" he says smiling, "later jiyoon, i do hope we bump into each other again. and don't bump into anyone, just me" he says laughing, which makes me laugh

"ok felix, i won't" i say smiling at him, while he walks away.

"maybe fate will make us meet again" mark says imitating him as he walked away. "oh bull crap" he says rolling his eyes.

"are you jealous mark?" i ask smirking at him.

"n-no, i was just saying there's no fate" he says trying to cover up.

"well ok then, mark" i say walking to my position.

"yah!" he yells from behind me. "you didn't hug me" he says back hugging me.

at that moment my heart was racing so fast, i don't even know why. "don't mess up" was all i could say before we were on stage and performing our hearts out to 'sorry sorry' haha.
