【十五】 dating jaemin

• how he confessed

it was really late one day, probably around one in the morning. all of the members and staff who worked with nct had gone home except for dayoung and jaemin. dayoung sprawled out on the floor in the practice room, pants escaping her mouth.

"you're still here?" jaemin's voice boomed in the silence, making dayoung jump and look over to the doorway.

"yeah," she exhaled and propped herself up on her elbows. "i couldn't get the footwork in 'boss'."

frowning, jaemin walked over to the girl and sat right beside her before he embraced her into a hug.

"you're overworking yourself again, baby."

dayoung shook her head against his chest, "no, i'm not. i'm fine, jae."

"that's what you said last time," jaemin murmured, pulling away to look her in the eyes. "if i wasn't here, you would've stayed for another four hours."

she knew he only spoke the truth, so she looked away and moved to sit in front of him instead.

"i just wanna make everyone proud, you know?" dayoung said.

jaemin let out a soft chuckle. "taeyong, kun, lucas, and taeil hyungs never shut up about you."

dayoung just gave him a look of disbelief, making him continue.

"trust me. we were in a meeting with another group once, when you were abroad, and they wouldn't stop bragging about you. jisung too."

she laughed and pink scattered over her cheeks which caused jaemin to pull her close again, the both of them falling back onto the floor.

after a lot of contemplation and hesitation, jaemin cupped dayoung's face with his hands when she held herself up. he didn't have much experience in the kissing department - or the romance department in general - but it was now or never. he could either confess now or let dayoung possibly fall for someone else. of course, he chose the former.

"god, you're too playful some—"

her sentence was cut short, seeing as jaemin tugged her down so the space between them was practically nonexistent. he didn't know if he was doing it correctly or if dayoung even liked it, and the thought of embarrassing himself made his face flush red.

by the time they pulled away, their breath was slightly heavy and both of them were blushing like crazy. neither of the two knew what to say until dayoung moved away, hiding her face in her palms as she let out small giggles.

"why are you laughing?" jaemin asked anxiously, sitting up as well.

"i just- i don't know. i just feel happy."

hearing that made his heart soar. he grabbed her wrists and moved her hands away, giving her a grin.

"i know i say i'm only joking when i tease you, but i mean all of it," jaemin confessed. "and remember when i said i had a crush on you when we started training together? i still do."

the smile on dayoung's face only got bigger, "can.. can we do that again?"

• how he acts when dayoung's close with other members

jaemin would trust dayoung since nct practically raised her since she was thirteen / fourteen, but there are some exceptions where jae becomes jealous and overprotective. for example, when nct dream was filming the music video for 'go'.

during the scene where the group was sitting around on a car, dayoung was instructed to sit on the hood with jisung behind her. the maknae wrapped an arm around her torso and leaned his head into her side as they shot. of course, jaemin noticed this and a pang of jealousy surged through his veins. he did his best to ignore it until the scene finished and when it did, you bet he went straight to dayoung.

at the time, nobody knew they were dating except for taeyong and doyoung considering it is their leader and dayoung tells doyoung everything; even when she doesn't, he just knows.

jaemin helped dayoung down before jisung could and threw himself on top of her.

"i'm so sleepy~" he whined.

"just a few more scenes!" dayoung tried to cheer him up, poking his cheek.

"noona!" they heard chenle call. "can you help us? jisung's hair is all tangled."

"because of him!" jisung pointed at chenle, frowning.

the older girl laughed and nodded, "coming!"

she tried to walk away but jaemin wouldn't let her go, so she poked his sides, making him jump and let go.

"that hurt," he pouted.

"and i need to go help jisung and chenle."

jaemin watched as she walked away, but still softly smiled at the fact that she was his.
