Pretty Boy

16

I walked down the hall the next day and lone behold I saw Taeyong walking right in my path. We both noticed each other at the same time and did our best to avoid being in each other's paths yet still ended up walking right towards each other.

We finally ran into each other and I couldn't hold it back anymore, "We need to talk. Meet me where you met me yesterday after lunch." I took a step to the right and continued walking past him giving him no time to comprehend or respond to my demand. My brain was screaming out to abort the mission and run away. I had only a couple hours till I had to respond to the confession Taeyong had made.

Confessions can be hard to receive, yes, but they are even harder to make. How in the world should I tell Taeyong I like him. We were in the middle of our morning workout when a call came in for one of the trainees who I have never talked to but have heard rumors that she has a boyfriend from her home town.

I wondered why she was being called up. After morning workout I went to the restroom to fix my hair and I heard a whimpering in the corner. I knocked on the door. The sniffling stopped and the girl who was called up in the morning came out. When I asked her if she was okay she just gave me a cold look.

"Look, you have barely been here for what a couple of weeks at most and now you are debuting. I have been here for four years and I was let off. For what reason, for having a boyfriend. That's how it works here. Maybe you got lucky, but be warned, if you mess up SM will make it look like you never existed." With that, she stormed out of the bathroom.

At first, I thought she just had anger issues but as I gave it some time I understood why she blew up on me. I was the newbie and I was going to debut in two weeks while she had been in the company for forever and da half and was being let go because of a boy. I was just glad she had warned me of the impending danger.

I got back to practice only to learn that I had practice with my brother in the mornings from now on. I had assumed that I would still be able to practice with the girls in the morning and him in the afternoon but since he was also NCT and we are a pilot team, the afternoon and night blocks are for NCT stuff.

During morning training with my brother seemed to notice I was distracted but for once he did not bother me about it. Practice finished and both of us were sweaty and disgusting. "I mean, we finally have the choreo down and we are all synced up," he said.

You looked at him quizzically, "You and I have very different definitions of 'all synced up'. We are going to need to record it and analyze it slowed down before I even begin to say that."

"Whatever," he responded. "Shall we go to lunch, it's that time."

"Sure," I wasn't excited about what was to come after lunch, but 

~~~~~time skip 'cuz lazy~~~~~After Lunch~~~~~

I was waiting on the roof for him. There were butterflies in my stomach and I was fidgeting around, but I knew what I had to do. I was not going to be the stupid kdrama character who overcomplicated everything uselessly. I was just going to lie out the predicament he needed to be aware of.

All of a sudden I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Taeyong with his hair slightly messy from morning practice in a baggy t-shirt and sweats. He looked nervous but was playing it off as cool.

He thinks he is all that. I see through him.

Yeah, he's just a big softie.

Out of my head! Private thoughts.

I don't want to hear you think about my friend like that either.

However, if you can hear me you are near, probably behind the door.

I will go back to practice now.

Finally, Jaehyun left and it was just me and Taeyong. "So, why did you ask me to come up?"

"I wanted to talk to you about what you said to me," I calmly stated. He seemed significantly less calm. "I like you as well." He started to smile, but I cut him off, "Sadly, I wish to be an idol. You already have it all, a popular group and a loyal fanbase, but I do not. I have not debuted and even though I am so close SM can strip me of my chance at any moment. Then I will be a rookie and believe it as not I want to debut in a girl group."

"So we cannot be together even though we like each other."

"Yes, that would be how it is. Now if you will excuse me," I walked past him and when I was grabbing the door handle he spoke again.

Turning to look at me he asked, "How about three years?"

I looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"In three years, if we still like each other and want to try dating out, we can start dating." It wasn't a promise that we will date in three years, but it set a reasonable timeline. I did the only thing I could.

"Sure."

Hi y'all! There is more to come soon. I finally found a group with a style of music I was looking for so I can start forming a group for y/n. Leave a comment guessing what group it is going to be.
