It's Our Little Secret | JOHNYONG | NCT

8. You're Free

 

It felt like a scene in Jurassic Park where the protagonists run for their lives, panting breathes and hearts beating out of their chests at the impending evil coming their way. And just when they thought they had a clearing, outsmarting the reptilian monster, that's when they feel the earth shake.

Tug, tug, tug. Each stomp getting closer and closer to them. They know fully well that the dinosaur was just about to turn the corner and eat them all alive. But they stay rooted in their positions for a couple of seconds out of shock and fear. Next thing they know, their ears bust open from the thundering roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

That's almost the exact scenario that went through when Taeyong stomped towards Johnny with nothing but fury and murder written on his well-chiseled face. And if the smaller's very ominous text saying "I'm going to murder you." was any indication that he was mad, well... Now Johnny knows for certain.

"How could you have kept this from me, you deceitful larrikin!" Taeyong angrily pointed his finger at Johnny's chest, effectively backing him up his own locker.

"Hey!" Johnny said, sounding offended. "You know what I feel about being called a larrikin." He tried joking.

Obviously, it wasn't working. "Don't try being cute with me, John Seo!"

Damn, John Seo? Taeyong's never called him John before. "Okay, whatever it is I did, I'm sorry. Please don't be mad."

"It's not what you did, Johnny. It's what you didn't!" Taeyong hissed. "How can you not tell me you and Jaehyun Jung were cousins!"

Johnny looked at Taeyong baffled. "Uh... Because everyone in the whole school knows? I'm pretty sure even Osaka boy and Moon cake know."

"Don't give my best friends endearing nicknames! I don't care if everybody knew, I didn't and you didn't tell me!"

"Well I never thought I had to!" Johnny argued. "Aren't you the one who has the biggest fattest crush on mmph-!" Taeyong slapped his hand on Johnny's mouth to keep it shut.

"You're clearly not helping yourself from stopping me into chopping you to millions of tiny little Johnny Seo pieces." Taeyong hissed. Unfortunately for Johnny, Taeyong was also covering his nose so he couldn't breathe and he was tapping on Taeyong's shoulder for release. Taeyong finally let's go but not to free Johnny but to point him with an angry finger.

"You promised no secrets."

Johnny stared at him with wide eyes. Like he was splashed on the face with cold water.

"Taeyong... I wasn't trying to keep things from you... I'm sorry if it made you feel like I did."
