It's Our Little Secret | JOHNYONG | NCT

1. The Notebook (Not The Movie)

Have you ever met someone who's the absolute embodiment of perfection?

That everything he does, everything he says and everything he believes is perfect.

And you've created this world that it was just the two of you, alone and in love. Lying down on a field of grass, staring into each other's souls, whispers of love and affection exchanged, heat radiating all over his body and you're so close that you can feel it.

He smiles. And God, those dimples would have been the end of you.

He cups your cheek, caressing it tenderly, looking you in the eye as he leans in. Pressing your foreheads together, he whispers.

"Hyung, we're gonna be late for school."

Taeyong sits up from the bed, his notebook thrown on the floor. He sees one of his younger brothers, Jeno, by the door frame. The other looking completely uninterested by his brother's actions. "We're gonna be late, hyung."

"Yeah. Be right down." Jeno did not spare him another glance as the younger made his way downstairs.

Taeyong waited for a few more seconds before plopping on his bed again. He sighed deeply, turning to look for his discarded notebook. He picked up the notebook he had thrown just moments ago, a blue one with 3 shiny grey stars on the cover.

It was a special notebook for Taeyong. A well-kept secret. A Bible, almost.

He opened the notebook, going through pages and pages of neatly written notes and thoughts. Taeyong stops as he landed on a bookmarked page, bookmarked by a picture of his long-time ultimate crush...

Jaehyun Jung.

With the man's photo in his hands, Taeyong sighed dreamily, remembering the little thought play he just had in his head. Today he'll see Jaehyun again, all dimply smiles and all. And today, like any other school day, with the thought of seeing Jaehyun Jung in campus, made every single day of high school completely bearable.

He cradled the photo of his crush to his chest, sighing lovingly at the thought of Jaehyun Jung.

"Are you done playing daydream romance with Jaehyun Jung, hyung." Taeyong hears the all-too-familiar teasing tone. He sat up again to see their youngest, Donghyuck, leaning on his bedroom door frame looking absolutely teasing.

Taeyong rolled his eyes as he reached for his backpack accross the bed. "Haha~"

Donghyuck rolled his eyes playfully before making his way downstairs to the kitchen. "Hurry up or you won't hear the end of it from Noona."

"Yeah..." Taeyong replied with absolutely no amount of enthusiasm at all as he got up, picked up his grey cardigan and notebook, slinging his backpack on his shoulder and making his way downstairs.

There was never a quiet moment in the Lee Household. With Taeyong having 4 brothers and a very loud, regularly stressed-out sister. The house their parents left them with (God bless their souls) was of constant noise and life.

Their parents died when Taeyong was only 3, so it's only ever been just him and his siblings.

Taeyong had 5.

The eldest, Donghae (31) works as a Physician at the local public hospital downtown. He was always busy and spent most of his time at the hospital. Which is why it surprised Taeyong to see their eldest hyung at the dining table, sipping his brewed coffee while watching the morning news, pointing out how the government was corrupt and how they should think of better ways to make medicine and other forms of treatment more accessible to the masses.
