I'M PUTTING MY FULL ATTENTION TO TAEYONG TODAY. IDK WHAT HAPPENED BUT- HE LOOKED SO FUCKING CUTE I'M DYING😤😭

—

alana sat down beside hendery without a word, resting her head against his chest as he laid his arm around the elder's shoulders. she let out a sigh, all the NCT members were watching a movie together (lmao imagine all the 22 members in the living room at the same time), despite the fact that the morning was pure tumult. johnny and taeyong were nowhere close to each other, the leader was far in the right and johnny was in the left corner. perhaps they already had a talk, but the ice weren't melting yet.

i miss him. alana thought solemnly, giving a glance at the man beside hendery.

bitch is suing herself.

fuck.

i feel like walking to him and kiss him. but i can't just do it, right?

we need to talk first, then we can-

fuck it.

alana suddenly stood up and took big steps to the kitchen, the rest decided to ignore the woman, not looking up from the screen.

taeyong raised an eyebrow to hendery for an answer, who shrugged in response. the leader waited a few minutes, before standing up and walked to where alana stayed.

johnny noticed, and he stood up almost immediately. before he could walk, a hand grabbed his arm firmly, stopping him. he looked down to find doyoung giving him a knowing look.

"hyung..." he said in a threatening tone. the tone was enough for johnny to let out a groan and sat back down.

taeyong walked inside the kitchen, seeing alana grabbing a St*rbucks drink (yeethaw you can't just randomly put a brand freely) before chugging it down. as soon as she saw the leader inside, she almost choked on her drink. yet, she shrugged it off and put the drink down the counter.

taeyong stood on the corner, folding his arms in front of his chest as he glanced at alana.

the first thing she said was, "you look awful."

he let out a chuckle, "awful is a one thing to say."

"why didn't you protect yourself? why didn't you fight back? why did you let him knock the shit out of you? your face... It's not worth the bruises," alana put her hands over her hips.

"i deserve it."

"thOu sHaLt nOT!" someone said from the door.both the couple looked to the door in annoyance, seeing chenle giggling at his own joke.

the two raised their eyebrows at him, making him stop almost immediately. "i-i just want to grab my chocolate milk.." he mumbled, walking pass alana and taeyong fastly.

chenle opened the fridge before grabbing the bottle he longed for. he passed the two once again, "have fun, you two."

"wait!" called Alana, stopping the younger. he turned around, "yeah?"

"aren't you supposed to be at home?"

chenle shrugged, "i wanted to have a sleepover with the dreamies. see you later!" he waved and then closed the door to the kitchen.

taeyong glanced at alana, who seemed to be focused to the floor, entertaining her from the man.

"noona."

"hm?" she asked, not looking up to him.

"you know that i love you, right? truly?"

that brought tears threatening to fall from her eyes, once again after that morning.

before taeyong could even add another word, he was tackled in a hug. alana burried her face to his shoulder, letting the tears wet his shirt.

taeyong widened his eyes in surprise, not expecting the woman to easily went back to him. he thought that he would get smacked on the head multiple times, plus a pulled earlobe by her. though, he was happy that she warmed up to him without a word.

taeyong wrapped his arms around the elder, giving a kiss to the crown of her head as he rubbed her arm in a comforting way.

well, i guess he was wrong. because after pulling away from the hug, alana pushed his shoulder harshly, plus smacking his head, as per usual. this time was far more powerful and harsh as he never felt. taeyong winced in both surprised and pain.

"noona! that hurts! what's that for?!" he exclaimed, putting his arms above his head, shielding it.

alana smacked his head once, "that is for leaving suddenly." she pulled his earlobe down, his head going down as well, "that's for leaving me hanging." she pushed his shoulder to the counter, "that's for hurting my feelings." she leaned closer to his face, lip-locking with the younger.

kissing back, taeyong flinched at the pain in his upper lip; alana bit his lip, and thank goodness it wasn't his lower lip, that had been hurt after Johnny's situation.

"shit! what's wrong with you, woman?!"

"i'm not the type to be physical and I didn't understand what I have done, but.. that felt good," alana knitted her eyebrows tightly at herself, confused at her own action.

"for you," muttered taeyong under his breath.

"okay, i deserve this all. so... what's next?" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"you're challenging me?" She asked back.

"w-well, not exactly-"

"okay, let's be serious here," taeyong offered.

"uh... I've been serious ever since decades ago..?"

he rolled his eyes in amusement rather than annoyance, "as i was saying, i want to ask you one thing."

"well, what are you waiting for? i'm right here?"

"why did you wait for me?"

that hit alana like tons of bricks had fallen all over her body.

a simple question, yet countless answers flew through her small mind. why was i waiting for him? why was i waiting over a man for a month like a puppy waiting for their momma?

alana opened her mouth, before closing it once again. "i.... i don't know.."

taeyong chucked his hair frustratedly. "why did you wait for this son of a bitch? this guy," he pointed to himself. he continued, "he has broken your heart, and would probably ending up hurt it once again. this stupid, dumb boy, left you hanging for a month. i know it isn't long, but- we both said that it felt like a whole decade. so, i'm asking you once again. why me?"

"because i love you, you big doofus," alana passed by him, didn't forget to knock her shoulder against his, and walked straight to her room, locking it.

as taeyong went back to the living room, the boys were already scattered away.

"where is everybody?" he asked.

"the party is over, mate. something going on in the kitchen?" jaehyun nodded his head towards alana's room, he probably saw her walking inside her room.

"we just talked," taeyong shrugged.

"it's you guys' private thing, i could understand. though, be careful next time, okay?" jaehyun smiled at the elder softly in acknowledgement.

"thank you so much, jae."
