Crying

two

"Taeyong. Taeyong wake up." 

Taeyong's eyes fluttered open to reveal Lucas and Jungwoo over him. 

"Hyung it's breakfast!" Lucas cheered and did a little dance. 

"We're having waffles!" Jungwoo cheered and copied Lucas's dance

Taeyong sleepily glanced over at his at his alarm clock. 7:30?! His eyes widened. He had slept through the afternoon and his morning alarm. 

"Come on! Or we'll eat all the food!" Lucas laughed and pulled Jungwoo out of the door which whisked shut as they dashed out. 

Taeyong decided to get up. He got up but wobbled a little. Ugh my head! The leader grabbed the back of his melon and gasped. It hurt to touch the small bruise hidden in his forest of red hair. Hopefully it isn't too noticeable. I don't want Ten to feel bad.

He pulled a t shirt over his head and slipped on a pair of sweats. He checked his calendar on his phone. Today NCT was holding a fan meeting in the local park. He smiled thinking of all the Nctzens that he would see smile that day. 

"Hey Taeyong!" Doyoung greeted him as he entered the kitchen. The smell of freshly baked waffles lingered in the air along with sweet strawberries and sugary whipped cream. 

"Hi Doyoung. Oh," he saw the Dreamies drowning their poor waffles in syrup. "Chenle, Jeno, Jisung, Renjun, Haechan, Jaemin please stop. Your food is going to get soggy." 

Haechan looked Taeyong dead in the eyes and continued to pour syrup onto his breakfast. "No offense Hyung but I'm going to do what I want. Which means MORE SYRUP!" he paused. "AND WHIPPED CREAM!" 

Renjun rolled his eyes at Haechan and put some berries on his plate. "There now I'm healthier than Donghyuck!" he smiled smugly.

The two began to argue over the stupid things the Dreamies always quarreled about.

Taeyong grabbed a dish from the cabinet and plated some waffles for himself. He spooned some berries on top and spread some butter on them. Mmmm! These are good! I wonder who made them. Maybe Jaehyun? 

"Okay guys!" Johnny called everyone to attention when he finished chewing. "Taeyong what's on the agenda for today?"

Taeyong looked up from his plate. He leaned against the counter and took a sip of water. "Today we have the fan meeting at the park. Basically that's it. Pretty chill day. Maybe we could fit in a session of V-Li...." Taeyong grimaced.

"Whats happening?" Panic flashed in Taeil's eyes. 

"Nothing, nothing." Taeyong coughed and shook his head. "Just a headache. Like I was saying, we should do a V-Live today if we can." 

The others nodded warily. He's probably fine. Taeil went back to eating. 

When everyone finished breakfast Taeyong picked up the dirty dishes. He started the dishwasher and sat down on a nearby chair. No one had offered to help clean up but they never did. It hadn't ever bothered Taeyong. He was the leader, he would clean the kitchen. Plus the other members helped tidy up the other rooms. It wasn't that the others were being ungrateful but they just hadn't they just had not thought to help. 

"Yeah I'm just going to grab my shoes!" Ten told Jeno as he skipped into the kitchen. "Oh hi Taeyong!" he noticed his friend's face twisted with pain. "Taeyong! Are you hurt? Is everything okay?" 

Taeyong perked up and looked into Ten's eyes. He asked me if I was okay? 

"Yes. Everything is fine Ten. Don't worry. I'm just tired"

Ten smirked and waggled his eyebrows. "You hungover?" 

Taeyong chuckled. "I'm not hungover Ten. I slept for a really long time." 

"Yeah a REALLY long time! All through the afternoon. You missed chicken for dinner. But don't worry," Ten put a hand on the leader's shoulder acting serious. "I ate your share too!" 

The two boys burst out laughing at the younger vocalist's joke. "Thanks for cheering me up Ten. I can always count on you for humor."

Ten nodded and got up. "Where are my shoes? Ah they're over in corner." he went over and grabbed his Vans. "See you in a bit!" With that he hopped like a bunny out of the kitchen. Taeyong mustered a weak giggle and got up.

He stumbled out of the room his head pounding, reminding him of what Ten had done. He didn't mean it. He was just being Ten.

After an hour or so all twenty one members were ready to attend the fan meeting. Lucas grabbed Jungwoo's hand as they walked out the front door to the dorms. They got into one of the many vans waiting for the idols. 

Everyone clambered into the vans bringing cameras with them to film themselves. Taeyong was the last to join them and climbed into the van for NCT 127 members.

"Don't want to come with us?" Ten waved from the NCT U van. "You're a U, not just a 127!" 

"I'm good here Ten but thanks." Taeyong popped his head back inside and slammed the door shut. Sorry buddy, I just need to be away from you for a bit. He thought biting his lip, feeling guilty about his decision. 

His head felt terrible. Ever few seconds when the blood pulsed through his veins he felt like he would pass out and die in the back seat. The pounding was so loud it rang in his ears and pounded in his head. Taeyong grabbed his red hair and gritted his teeth. I'm not mad at him, I just need some space. I"m not mad at him I just need some space. Taeyong reminded himself over and over. But somewhere deep down something told him not to forgive Ten. To ignore him and get revenge. Being the good person he was, Taeyong just ignored the demon inside him. He listened to his inner angel. 

As they rode Mark decided to start a V-Live. "Hi Nctzens!" were the last words Taeyong heard before he drifted into unconsciousness.
