ORPHANS: NCT DREAM

22 | a mess

AERI

after breakfast, we directly went for our plan/mission and are staring again. after what happened last night, of course me and hyuck acted like nothing happened like that. luckily i got up, before the boys could even see us cuddling down the floor.

without noticing, i bumped into a wall as mark laughed softly. i stepped back, and blinked my eyes in a hard way. slowly opening them wide, to make sure i wasn't blind.

mark laughed. "watch were you're going, and stop day dreaming." mark grabbed my wrist, and protectively led me to the office. making sure i wouldn't bump into something again.

while heading to the office, there was silence but it wasn't awkward. then mark broke it.

"i saw you and haechan on the floor, hugging when i woke up." his sentence made my heart drop, but luckily someone pushed it back up.

i gulped, and eyed him. but at the same time i didn't dare, but i still did. "uh.... i thought you all were a sleep."

"apparently you're incorrect, i was silently reading comics." he chuckled, then his smile became wider. "is there something between you and haechan, we all don't know? you can say it, trust me-"

i didn't even let him finish what he was saying, and quickly replied. "no mark, no there's nothing between us! we are just good friends, just really really good friends." i said, my throat was shaking and my heart was beating.

mark half smiled. "the last time i checked, you thought haechan hates you."

i squinted my eyes. "and you knew why, so can you spit it out?" i asked, he shook his head and softly giggled. "i am not aloud to." he simply replied.

he and hyuck are really good friends, i see them together all the time when i don't approach hyuck. they must know a lot about each other, and secrets.

we stopped in front of the door, then looked at each other. this time it was mark who opened the door, not knocking because we were sure that no was was inside.

"bingoooo!" mark accidentally shouted with loud voice, making me flinch and my hand automatically punched his shoulder making him whine. "ow~"

"remember, even if sister lina isn't here, still be quiet!" i whispered shouted.

mark smirked. "ooooh, who's being the leader now?"

"whatever." i said, dragging him in. when we reached in, we started roaming around and still couldn't find a single clue. not even a small one.

this somehow made me feel dumb, really dumb. i was so impatient, i can't wait anymore i want to be beside taeil now. please take me away.

"aeri, come here!" mark whispered shouted, he quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me inside a human sized cabinet, placing his hand on my lips to remain me silence.

we saw a small line, from the outside and watched the door creak open. i sighed, great what if we get caught again?

i gulped, letting mark cover my mouth, i couldn't breathe and mark's palm started to get sweaty because of my breathing.

disguting, maybe that's what he thought right now.

there were a lot of people coming in, like 4-5 and it's insane. we are dead if they see us here.

"they're gone?" i heard a familiar voice, a high pitched one.

more likely chenle's.

without any hesitation i quickly pushed the cabinets open, and eyed the boys in the room. "seriously guys? what are you doing here, go back to your positions!" i whispered shouted, and started to push the one near me; renjun.

"yah, why are you all here?" mark stepped out.

"no, let us stay we can help you!" jaemin who was getting pushed, because of renjun, because of me.

i stopped pushing renjun, and placed my palms on my waist. "go back to places." i said.

jeno frowned, giving me a death glare but didn't scared me because he was literally pouting. "we are older than you, we stay if we want!"

"come on, we will proof that the files are here." jisung plead. "how?" mark asked.

"helping you guys out." hyuck replied, scoffed and crossed his arms.

i copied him. "so you're saying that we aren't searching enough?" i asked, making him shook his head instantly.

"let us stay!" chenle started whining loudly, making all of us inside room widened our eyes and tried to hush him. "chenle that's too much now, you've stepped out of the lane. be quiet!" renjun squeezed his arms, making him whine louder.

"fine, stay, stay!" i said quickly, squishing his cheeks with my palms which made him stand silence. "thank you." chenle started skipping his way around the room.

i sighed, massaging my temples. "i swear that kid."

mark patted my back. "lets search all together." i nodded my head, and we both walked separated ways.

i actually had nothing to do, but to watch the boys if they are doing good and not making a mess. but they didn't, it was good which made me turn back to searching.

there were only low talks, and whispers and luckily we were all quiet like we are suppose to.

but a few minutes later, i heard someone's voice increased.

"ew! go away, chenle stop!" jisung tried pushing him away, as chenle did his loud dolphin laughs.

i saw chenle holding an underwear, while he tried to threaten jisung with it, by maybe tossing it over him.

i sighed, closing my eyes. i knew something like this would happen.

"chenle stop!" jisung walked backwards, but nothing could stop chenle.

till jisung bumped his back on donghyuck, making donghyuck fall a bit backwards, but since i was was behind him, i felt him bump and lost my balance.

i unlucky fell down with my back on the rug, but somehow grabbed on donghyuck and thought he might be strong enough to let myself pull up with his arm.

but no, we both fell on the floor, with his chest on top of mine.

boom.

a loud noise was found.

mark sighed, scratching his forehead, and you could see chenle finally stopped and regretted it.

note: yeah, as you all can see this is like a fanfic of hyuck and the girl but there's also nct dream.
