Dormmates | NCT Jaehyun

Chapter 21

Doyoung, Mark, and Haechan were thrilled when they heard that you accepted Jaehyun's love. They were at your dorm having breakfast before going to school together.

"God damn finally! Jaehyun's so annoying around whining and whimpering that he's a coward and not brave enough to confess."

"Yah hyungggggggg!"

You wiggled your eyebrows at whiny Jaehyun and he looked away with his ears red.

"Soooooooo what's next?"

"Your marriage." Haechan said nonchalantly.

Jaehyun stared at him in horror, "What the hell are you talking about?"

This time, your cheeks were red as tomatoes.

"Hyung, what about Yuta sunbae?" Mark asked Doyoung not so quietly.

"What's with him?"

"Uhhh ya knowww like the bullying?"

"He wouldn't touch her, he's just trying to catch her attention."

You rolled your eyes, "Yeah right, you catch someone's attention by bullying her."

"Hey I'm being serious here. Don't you watch Korean dramas?? Or even just dramas?? They just bully someone and be like 'Oh I actually like you, I bullied you to catch your attention and so you would look at me blablabla."

"Yuta doesn't like me." You said surely.

"Wanna bet?" Jaehyun smirked.

"Bet."

"Great. I feel that we don't exist again." Haechan rolled his eyes. Mark just blinked innocently and looked at the couple back and forth.

The five of you tidied up and went to school together. On the way, you saw Yuta in front of you with his head hung low. His friends were talking to each other, seemingly oblivious of Yuta's bad mood. Despite him shouting at you constantly, he never actually hurt you physically, all you do is do his homework and help him get his things when he told you to. So you were actually concerned as you never saw him this sad before.

"He seems moody." Doyoung spoke beside you.

"Yeah, never seen him sad before since I transferred here."

"Should I go talk to him?"

"You must be kidding, Y/N, he bullies you."

"I mean, not physically." You shrugged.

"It doesn't matter whether physically or mentally or emotionally, Y/N."

"I don't encourage you to do that, but you do what you want, just know that I ain't letting him alive if he hurts you."

Mark gaped at him, "Hyung, you serious?"

"Since when am I not?"

Doyoung shook his head, "The craziest couple I've known."

As they left for their class, you glanced at Yuta who was seated next to the window. He was staring out mindlessly.

I'll talk to him when school ends.

"Hey."

Yuta looked up and saw you, "What do you want?"

A lump formed in your throat, you didn't know you would be that nervous. You looked around the classroom both of you were the only ones in.

Perhaps he saw how you fidgeted, he heaved a sigh, "Sit if you want."

You observed his face carefully. Yuta is actually extremely handsome, exactly a comic character alive. You wondered why he isn't dating anyone.

"Speak."

A gasp escaped your lips as he spoke abruptly with a strict yet soft voice.

"W-Why are you s-s-sad?" You cursed mentally at yourself for stuttering so badly.

Yuta looked up at you, staring at you intently. His eyes softened at how concerned you look.

"Don't you hate me?"

"What?" You never expected that question.

"You heard me."

"I— Why would I hate you?"

"Because I bully you."

"You just shout and command me around."

"That doesn't sound better."

"I mean...you never really hurt me before."

Yuta was silent.

"Do you...like me?" You can't help but ask.

"What? No! Hey—" He clearly panicked.

"Then why do you treat me so differently? You're doing this since the first time we met."

"You look like her."

"What?"

"You look like my sister."

It was the first time you saw how Yuta smiled ever so weakly.
