Without you -- Life with NCT 127

Chapter 8

We walk to school hand-in-hand.

And this time he keeps holding my hand as we enter the school building.

I don't really know about our relationship status but I don't want to destroy the beautiful moments with him while asking.

I give him a goodbye kiss on the cheek and enter classroom 305.

Dancing techniques.

Teacher: Hello everyone!
So before we start the lesson, I want you to know that there is a dance competition on Monday next week. If you participate you need to invent your own choreography and present it in groups of two or three.
The first prize is one week vacation on the Maldives. With your dance partner/-s.
I'm excited for your dance skills.

I think immediately of Taeyong.

He dances so well.
There's so much energy in his dances...

We need to do this together.

At lunchtime I tell Taeyong about my plan and he agrees.

We'll meet this afternoon to start inventing and practicing our choreography.

I walk along the corridor when I hear a familiar voice coming from behind.

??: Ey, Mina!

I turn around.

It's Johnny.

Me: Hm?

Johnny: We could make the dance for the competition together l, couldn't we?!

Me: Ah... I'm sorry, I'm doing it with Taeyong already.

He raises an eyebrow.

I look to the ground at laugh.

How can he know everything?!

Me: But you could work with Jaehyun, no?

Johnny: I guess that won't work.
All he thinks about at the moment is his girlfriend.

Me: Wait, what?! His GIRLFRIEND?!

Johnny: Yes, Sun-hi.

I put on a big smile.

I knew it.

I knew it.

I totally knew it.

Me: Oh wait I know. You could build a team with Mark and Yuta.

Johnny: Yeah, that's a good idea.

We wave each other goodbye and I return home where I already put on my outfit for training:

I've just finished my homework when Taeyong knocks at the door.

Me: Come in.

I give him a kiss on the cheek.
