24th Male Member: NCT fanfic

1.

"Hyung."

I slowly sit up and find Jisung and Chenle who were standing at the foot of my bed. While rubbing my eyes, I swung my legs over the side of the mattress and looked at them.
"What did you guys need?"

They smiled at me and draged me out of my bedroom. We arrived in the kitchen and I saw Jaemin hitting Jeno with a dirty spatula, Haechan trying to pick up the pieces of what I assume to be a broken plate, Renjun running to the oven to get out something I'm sure is burning, and Mark standing in the middle of it all with wide eyes. With a sigh, I walk over and slap Haechan's hand lightly.

"Don't touch that. You could get cut."

All eyes in the kitchen were now on me but I continued to pick up the remaining glass that was on the floor. When I was done grabbing the bigger pieces I grabbed the broom and swept the smaller ones into the dustpan before throwing it away. Once that was taken care of I opened the oven and got out a pan of burnt biscuits. After throwing them away, I got out more ingredients for the biscuits and set them on the counter. Before making another batch, I walked over and grabbed the spatula away from Jaemin and wiped Jeno's face with my long sleeved shirt.

"Jaemin, please don't hit Jeno with a spatula. Jeno, I know you did something to make him hit you so don't do whatever you did again. And Renjun try not to forget the timer on the oven when you cook something."

With that, I grabbed an apron and began to make a new batch of biscuits and put them in the oven to bake.

"How do you do it?"

I turned to Mark after the pan was in the oven and tilted my head to the side.
"Do what?"

He sighs and smiles.
"This. How do you deal with all of this? And still be nice while fixing it."

I shrug with a smile and wash my hands before looking at Mark again.
"Watch the oven for me while I shower and change please."

He nods and I head back to my room to grab my clothes for the day. After showering and changing I checked the schedule for today.

- NCT Dream dance practice from 6:30am to 8:00am
- NCT 127 rap line practice from 8:30am to 9:30am
- WayV vocal line practice from 10:00am to 12:00
- SuperM dance practice from 1:00pm to 2:30pm

I sighed and walked back into the kitchen to see Mark getting the food ready and on the table. With a smile on my face, I sat down and took a bit out of a biscuit that I had made.

"Hyung, you're going to be busy today."

I look over at Jeno, who had his head hanging low and nod.
"Yeah, why?"

He smiles.
"Nothing. I was going to ask you if you wanted to play video games later, but I know you're gonna be busy."

I nod.
"Let's see where my schedule takes me today. Then maybe if I get back in time or I don't stay with one of the others groups then we can play."

He smiles and nods before rushing to his room to get changed. I check the time and sigh.
"Twenty minutes!"

I hear different responses and smile as I wait by the door for the rest to arrive.

I walked back into the practice room and saw the rest of 127 already there. With a smile on my face I greeted them and sat my stuff down in the corner.

"You look tired."

I turned to see Johnny and I smiled.
"Eh. Just a little bit. But I'll live."

He smiled at me and we began our non planned dance practice. A couple of members messed up a bit but it wasn't anything serious. We simply corrected them before continuing with our choreography.

"Everyone did an amazing job today. We all worked hard so lets go back to the dorms and get some sleep. You all deserve it after today."

Taeyong smiled and gulped down his water bottle before tossing it in the trash. He then turns and walks towards me.

"Jiwon, you look exhausted. Wanna just crash at our dorm?"

I glance at Taeyong and just shake my head.
"I'm going to the Dream dorm."

He looks at me with a hint of worry before nodding and entering the 127 dorm. I grab onto my backpack tighter and head to the Dream dorm where I walk into Jeno's room to find him laying on his bed on his phone. When I walk in he glances up and smiles.

"You came!? I thought you'd be too tired!"

He jumps up and hugs me tightly. With a laugh I hug him back.
"Of course I came. I want to try out this new video game of yours."

He smiles widely and plugs up the controlers for his game before sitting on the floor with a small thump.

After playing four rounds of his new game Jeno fell asleep on my lap. His head was laying on my thigh and I smiled when I saw the sight. I silently moved him so that he was laying his head on the cushion I was sitting on. Then I picked him up bridal style and layed him in his bed before tucking him under the covers.

"Night, Nono." I whisper before turning off the light and walking into my own room with Mark. Mark looked up from a book and smiled at my tired state.
"You good?"

I smiled and nodded before going to change clothes. When I returned Mark had begun to read his book again so I climbed into my bed before looking up at the ceiling.

"Can't fall asleep?"

I nodded again and I heard him chuckle.
"Yeah. I'm really tired but I just can't seem to fall asleep."

"I know how you feel. Try imagining you're asleep. As stupid as it sounds it works."
