You're a GIRL!? •NCT Dream•

Day #9

Italics-Characters' thoughts

...
Wengie.
So this is it? It's been only 8 days since I've landed in Korea to pursue my lifelong dream of being an idol. It'll be taken away from me? Engaged at the age of 14?  For the benefit of my family's company?If it was someone I knew that I was getting engaged with, it wouldn't be as bad but we're talking about a total stranger here.

I sighed. My mind is clouded and everything feels surreal- how did my own mother think I could handle this if I was put in this type of situation? Plus, she told me the day before that I had to buy a flight ticket back to China.  I feel so angry at her, but yet- she was the one that gave birth to me and raised me. I'm indebted to her.

Hot tears started streaming down my face. I'm at a total loss at what to do right now. I sat in the corner of my shared bedroom while clutching my knees close to my chest and started weeping. I felt completely helpless but then, it hit me. I wiped the tears from my cheeks and got up, almost tripping on air in the process but eh, I didn't die.

I could run away! I could still take the flight back to China (because I sure in hell would not want to burn my 200 bucks for nothing!) but I could take a detour and visit my grandma that lives in the village far away from town! I grinned mischievously at my idea. They'll have a hard time finding me...it has a low density residential anyways hehehe....I smirked and started packing.

Chenle's POV
Wait- what did I just say? I stood frozen at the realisation of my huge mistake. Damn- If Wengie was here- I'd be dead meat...

"Hey Chenle, what did you just say? Did you just say Dooyong's a girl?" Jaemin asked with a skeptical look on his face. How. Do. I. Fix. This?
"Erm-" I tried thinking for a logical explanation for my slip-up but I can't think of one. WHY. CAN. I. NOT. THINK. OF. ANYTHING. UNDER. PRESSURE!?
"You've been lying to us all along?" Jisung asked as tears started to form in the corners of his eyes.
"I-"
"Chenle, how could you lie to us? Moreover made me think I was gay?" Jeno questioned me.
"Look guys, there's a perfectly good reason as to why I didn't tell you about Dooyong's gender..." I tried to reason with them.
"Hey" a new voice suddenly joined in on the conversation.
"Where's Dooyong now?" A hand was now placed on my right shoulder that later spun me around to face the former's face.
"Haechan-you're awake..." I said as I felt small under his cold gaze. He seemed to give off a more serious and mature vibe compared to his usual personality. I felt my legs trembling with mere eye contact.
"Hyung-I...don't know..." I said honestly as I stared at the floor. I can't look at donghyuck in the eye right now...
"What do you mean you don't know where he-I mean she is?" Haechan glared down at me. I flinched-what am I suppose to do now!?
"Hyung...the thing is. I stormed out right after Wengie told me she was going back to China..." I trailed as I played with my fingers timidly.
"Mark, take care of the kids. I'm gonna bring Dooyong's ass back here" he said before wearing his shoes and shutting the front door with a bang. Wengie, I'm sorry I messed up..

Wengie' POV
"Okay I think that'll be enough" I said to myself as I carried the backpack with minimal clothing inside. I feel like a criminal on the run. Well I kinda am. Okay I should stop having an eternal monologue with myself. Let's run. "Pftt. I do sound like a criminal on the run" I laughed as I jumped out the window.

I landed onto the ground safely. Thank god this isn't my first time jumping out from a window. I dusted off any imaginary dust on my clothing before getting up on my feet to start my journey. Wait- I could just call a cab..."good thinking inner self" I praised myself before dialling Uber.
