"I love you."

His words, although I already knew continued to hit me hard. But what could I do if it was not meant to be? I knew that I loved him back but I couldn't manage to find the words to say it back. His long finger came up to my lips and shushed me right as I went to speak. I frowned, why had he done that for? "I know that you don't feel the same way about me, but it'll never stop me from continue to try and win your heart. Y/n, I would move mountains for you and I hope that you know that." He got up and left without another word. Shocking, I know.

My head snapped to the side as I watched each of the boys walk in and out of the room, getting pillows and retrieving all of the blankets and pillows that were in the living room. They left me with my one pillow as well as my confusion. "What the hell?" I frowned, mumbling quietly so I didn't draw attention to myself. Standing from the comfort of the soft and plush sofa, Chenle swooped in and took the cushion from where I had been, running back out of the room.

Okay seriously, where are they going with all of those pillows? I walk out of the living room and cautiously follow after Chenle, being careful to make sure that he didn't spot me, ducking into corners. There was chuckling coming from inside one of the rooms, which quickly turned into roaring laughter as music became heard. Their music. "Y/n!" Came a voice from behind me, causing me to jump in fright and turn around to be greeted by Mark.

"Oh, hey Mark." I smiled lightly at him, trying to get his mind of what I had been doing just standing there randomly in the hallway like a complete weirdo. "Do you want to come help us build a fort?" He tilted his head lightly as he waited for my answer, being the most precious thing alive. "Okay." I nodded, he broke out into a giant grin as he took a hold of my hand and led me into the room where the majority of the boys were.

The elder boys began to leave, leaving me in the room full of all of the younger members of NCT. They all looked at me with smiles on their faces and hope in their eyes as they began to set up all of the pillows to make the best fort to ever exist within the entire help. I joined in and returned the smile to all of them, it was the least that I could do. I think that they were all cute in their own ways but you could see how they were all lovable and how everyone seemed to adore them.

NCT Dream was full of sweethearts and that's all that really mattered, they had manners and knew how to make everything into a fun time. I adored those traits about them. It was quite nice of them when they would let me do some things to make better than it had already been like, I laughed as we all did since we were all having so much fun each other's company. It was good to just hang out with some people without a care in the world, to laugh freely while you know that nobody is secretly judging you. I guess that's just what I love about this group of boys.

I smiled at all of them as we looked over our work of art, the fort was complete and everyone seemed happy that we had managed to get it done. "Thank you, Y/n, for helping us!" They all said in unison and I simply laughed. Out of nowhere I got attacked by all of them, their arms wrapping around me like a cocoon. I liked this. It made me feel safe and as if I had a family here even though my true family was in a whole other country.

A cough came from behind us. It called for our attention but I refused to look behind me as I could already tell who it was and I was not looking forward to having to see them after what had happened earlier. "Y/n." Their voice, stone-cold, made me shiver. I slowly managed to turn my head and to look at Taeyong who was glaring daggers at all of the boy's arms around me. Is someone jealous?

It seems like it.

"What is it Taeyong?" I raise an eyebrow, clearly not amused by how he just had to come in and ruin the bonding time between me and the younger members. He rolled his eyes at my question, as if it had been something so significantly obvious that even a fool could know what it was. But I guess that means that I am dumber than a fool since I had no clue what the answer was. "Well? Spit it out if you have something to say." Everyone seemed taken aback from what I had said, they clearly never expected for me to snap at him.

"I was just going to say that dinner is ready but okay then." He shrugged and turned around, walking away from the door. Oh. So, he didn't come to throw a dig at me, like he usually does.

I sigh and gently pull away from the hug and stand up as I waved lightly to the few members of NCT Dream and make my way out of their room. The halls were quiet as I walked down them towards the kitchen, where the only source of noise was. I crept in and there he stood, his head in his hands. "Why does she hate me so much... I don't mean to be aggressive to her... I'm sorry Y/n..." I frowned and slowly crept behind him.

Shakily wrapping my arms around him from behind, I continued to frown. "I don't hate you Taeyong, I'm sorry if it came out that way." He stayed quiet as I simply back-hugged him. "I love you Taeyong."
