Wildside //NCT Renjun//

XXV.

still CHAE

I walked inside the gym's empty practice room Kyungseok rented to us.
I was wearing a sport bra, tight black shorts and an old, oversized grey T-shirt.
I was really taking my time with the changing so Renjun was already there when I arrived. He was in black sweatpants and a black T-shirt.
'Don't you have other color than black?'
He turned to me and shrugged his shoulders. 'Not really. I love black anyways.'
'Why do you like it so much?'
He tought about it a bit. 'It suits me I think.'
I smiled. 'No. You don't have dark soul.'
Renjun looked at me then shook his head in disbelief.
'Stop chatting you can do that at home too.' Kyungseok looked in and interrupted us. 'By the way, won't you be cold Chae?'
I saw Renjun staring at my bare legs. He then gave me an unreadable look. 'Hyung's right.'
I shrugged my shoulders. 'We'll gonna get warm by exercising.'
Kyung shook his head and left.
Renjun looked at me. 'Alright. Now we should start with stretching. Are you sure this T-shirt will be good? It almost covers your shorts. It'll may hold you up.'
'Should I take it down?'
The boy looked at me suspiciously. 'What are you wearing under it?'
'A sport bra.'
Renjun immediately shook his head. 'Don't take it down then. You'll might feel uncomfortable.'
I frowned. 'Why? It supports me enough-'
The guy face palmed. 'You dummy. I tought you might feel uncomfortable because of me. I'm still a guy afterall and you're just about to wear only shorts and a bra.'
I smiled in embarrassment. 'O-oh, I see.'
I decided not to take down my shirt.
We didn't really speak while stretching. I was struggling because I'm as stiff as a tree and Renjun was focusing on idk, maybe getting back to taekwondo.
I decided to speak up. 'Are you good at taekwondo?'
He smirked lightly. 'We can say that.'
I raised my eyebrows. 'And by that you mean...?'
'I'm 3rd degree black belt.'
Oh my gosh. So that's why Kyung wanted him to practice with me.
But that means I'm gonna make fun of myself in front of an assistant instructor ahahahafuckmylife.
'Now get up and let's see what you got.' he told me and offered his hand to help me get up.
'A talent for being helpless in sports is what I got.' I mumbled and earned a laugh from Renjun who somehow heard me.
I started doing some basic moves I remembered to. Renjun stepped to me but then suddenly backed up. 'Do you mind if I touch you? I don't wanna be disrespectful but I need to help you somehow.'
I froze in my place for a minute then nodded. 'For teaching purposes only.'
'For teaching purposes only.' Renjun smirked and I couldn’t help but started worry about his smirk.
'Now turn a bit to the left, you face the front too much.' He stepped behind me. He gently placed his hands on my hip and moved it to the left a bit.
I shivered because of his touch but tried not to show it.
I sighed. That's not gonna lead to nothing good if he continues to touch me.
'Why did you sigh? Is something wrong?' Renjun immediately let me go and turned to face me.
'Nothing, I just know I'm talentless in taekwondo.' It was a lie, but a true one.
He started laughing. 'You're not that bad, chill. You just need to put in more energy and show some passion.'
I rolled my eyes and growled. 'I'm lacking both of it.'
He crossed his arms and smirked. 'Now we just have to find something that makes you wanna fight.'
Oh geez. This will be a long ass ride.

I walked in front of the boxing bag as Renjun said.
'Think of anything you hate or anybody who's ass you wanna beat. Then kick the boxing bag with full strength.' He said and leaned to the wall next to me.
I started thinking.

People.
Security guards.
Rude customers at the café.
Ahin.
Dad.
That rude girl from jail.
That old neighboor from my childhood who used to scold us for everything.
My middle school teacher, Mrs. Choi.
My classmates from middle school.
S

chool in general.
Lying.
I kicked the heavy, black object every time but it didn't really helped.
Renjun rubbed his neck helpless. 'Try to think something worse.'
I started thinking. Something that really fucked me up...
My ex and that bitch from Friday.
I felt anger growing it me. But sadness find their way too so I ended up punching only a bit stronger than the other times. I looked at my instructor.
'Look Chae, I really can't help. Only you know what fucks you up.'

After 2 hours and several tries with the boxing bag, Renjun decided to dismiss my teakwondo class.
I was happy and sad at the same time. I was disappointed in myself so I was glad it ended. But I also started to not only feel comfortable with Renjun, but I enjoyed his company too.  What a mess I am.

When we arrived home, almost everybody was at home. Only Donghyuck had work.
Renjun took a shower quickly then left, explaining he had a meeting with his friends since the last one was dismissed because of me.
I also took a shower then went to Yoona and the boys' room. She was sitting on her bed's end, doing something on her phone.
I threw myself onto her bed. What should I do now? Donghyuck's away, Kyungseok is working in our room, Yoona is busy and Renjun...he's away too. The one with whom I mostly want to spend time.
I sighed and started kicking Yoona with my leg.
'Are you bored?' She asked without looking at me.
'Yeah.'
'Why don't you go and find yourself something that takes up your attention?'
'I can't, he's with his friends.' I mumbled but apperantely
Yoona heard me. She turned to me with a shocked look. 'Excuse me?' she then rolled her eyes. 'Calm down you said you gonna meet his friends next week anyways. And he'll be back in a few hours.'
I smiled happily. She's right. Then there's nothing to worry about-
'Hey you okay?' Yoona patted my arm.
'What?' I looked at her confused.
'I asked if you okay because I saw your fists being red. But looks like you ain't listening.' Yoona crossed her arms.
'Oh sorry. I'm okay, thanks for your concern.'  I gave her a light smile them went back to my thoughts. What should I wear on the meeting with his friends- wait why am I thinking about it? Why do I keep thinking about Renjun? This is not normal-
I sat up and crawled behind Yoona's back. I looked around to make sure nobody's hearing us (that was stupid because of course no one was) and leaned to her ears.
'Yoona, I have to tell you something.'
She turned to me. 'Spit it out.'
I took a big breath. 'I think I have a little crush on Renjun.'
