It's Our Little Secret | JOHNYONG | NCT

5. A Little Bit Of Progress

"Why is Johnny Seo sitting with us?" Taeil whispered to Yuta. Partly was because they were at the library, partly because Johnny was sitting right next to him.

Yuta mouthed an 'I don't know' before the both of them took a peek at the tall football player seated just right in front of them, engrossed at whatever Taeyong was discussing (Korean History).

It was normal for the three of them to study together at the library. Sometimes even accompanied by Wendy Son or Seulgi Kang, but Johnny Seo?

"See, I didn't get that whole Sunshine Policy thing." Johnny said, biting the end of his pencil. "But I think I'm slowly getting it now."

"It's not that hard to understand." Taeyong looked at Johnny with a small smile on his face.

"Try telling that to a foreigner, Lee." Johnny smirked at him.

"Preach." Yuta agreed unconsciously, surprising himself and Taeil as he did.  He didn't expect to earn him a high-five from Johnny, which surprised Yuta even more.

"See, Osaka boy gets it." Yuta stared at Taeil, eyes completely wide.

"Did he just call me Osaka boy?" the Osaka boy leaned in. "Okay, we're keeping him."

Johnny laughed. "Thanks."

"Please stop gaining my friends' favor." Taeyong glared at Johnny to which he only smiled and ruffled Taeyong's dark locks.

Taeyong couldn't help the twitch of his lips, fighting back a smile as well. He simply shrugged it off instead and proceeded to teach Johnny more about Korean History.

The exchange wasn't left unnoticed and oh boy did Taeil and Yuta fed off of it.

Suddenly Johnny's phone vibrated (Taeyong demanded him to silence his phone since they were in the library after all) and the giant excused himself to take the call.

Of course, this gave Taeil and Yuta the opportunity to start interrogating Taeyong.

"Okay spill. What's going on between you and Johnny Seo!" Yuta slammed his hands on the table that earned them a loud shush from the librarian. They all gave her a soft sorry.

"Nothing is going on between me and him, okay? I'm just tutoring him on some classes. That's all." Taeyong answered all too casually.

And as his friends being his friends, they didn't buy it.

"Tutoring, huh?" Yuta leaned back in his chair. "Since when did tutoring involve exchanges of soft giggling, warm smiles and playful hair ruffling? Hmmm?"
