My Court | NCT Chenle

"Who've you moved on with? Is it that stupid guy Jaehyun?" He grew annoyed by the second. You shook your head. You didn't know who to say. "Then who?"

"(Y/N)? Oh my gosh, babe where have you been?" Chenle suddenly came out from his hiding place. Your eyes twinkled at the sound of his voice.

"Lele..." You trailed off as he sent a glance to your ex.

"Who's this?" He hugged your backside, wrapping his hands loosely around your small waist. "Just play along." He whispered in your ear.

"An old... friend... of mine." You choked out, grasping onto his hand that was by your side. You felt this sense of security while being in his embrace. Just being around him brought your mood up and he was just amazing. He sent butterflies to your stomach each and every time you were around him, especially when he acted sweet to you.

Xiaojun raised his eyebrows, seeing how true your love was for each other. It wasn't a stupid game like the one he played with you. His eyes dropped to floor and back up at you.

"I'll see you around. Tell Hendery I left early." He said and left through the doors. You gazed at him walking off, feeling like jelly. You stumbled in place, having Chenle help you stand upright.

"H-Hey! It's okay." You breathed heavily and looked at the floor, feeling claustrophobic for an odd reason.

"C-Chenle." You breathed out. He wrapped his arms around you, bringing you close to his chest. you gripped onto his jersey and breathed in and out. "I'm sorry..." You sniffled, fighting back tears.

"It's alright. You don't have to tell me now. Just calm down. I got you." He whispered into your ear. You nodded and still hugged him back, feeling warm inside. You realized it.

I'm in love with Zhong Chenle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You contemplated your true feelings in your head. Your eyes were open and all was clear. You finally realized it all.

When your friends all teased you about you being with Chenle, it wasn't for no reason. It had significance. They could totally see the way you stared at him with admiration and love.

Small gestures like those could tell anybody that you were in love.

But was it all one sided? Did he love you back? You weren't sure.

He could just be naturally flirtatious like Jaehyun was. Even if he was just being natural, it still caused you to love him. Was that so wrong?

Maybe it was. Maybe it'll end up like your last relationship, and you knew all too well that you didn't need another crazy ex-boyfriend.It would cause you to go even more crazy, and maybe you would have to move again because of it.

As you thought more and more about it, you managed to disregard it for the time being. Right now, all that was important to you was Chenle. He was right there with you and so, you should focus on him.

Your head was buried into his chest as you blinked away tears from your eyes and just tried to ignore your past. Your eyes shut close to stop the stream of liquid that escaped your eyes each and every minute that passed on.

All Chenle could hear were your soft sniffles. He felt his heart break at just the sight of you crying. He never wanted to see you cry. It made him feel bad and somewhat guilty because he couldn't do anything to make you happy.

His hands passed through your hair as you held a fistful of his jersey. You didn't want to leave his embrace any time soon. He felt so warm and you could snuggle close with him if you ever had the chance to do so.
