Summer Fight

Sleepless Nights

Darkness surrounded the NCT dorm as midnight drew closer the only things to be heard were the honks of the car, the occasional ringing of Doyoung's phone and the voices of Mark and Haechan yelling at each other from the room opposite theirs. They weren't quite sure when it started but the fighting almost seemed common place now. The 127, dream and even the u members had tried to talk to them about it but to no avail. It felt impossible to make the two stop fighting. Jaehyun turned in his bed to see Doyoung sound asleep with his ear phones plugged in probably to drown out the noise. Unfortunately Jaehyun couldn't sleep while listening to music or in the presence of any sort of sound. Though he couldn't tell what they were quarrelling about he could still hear their muffled angry shouts.

Jaehyun lays on his back trying to fall asleep when he heard a bang reverberate in the Dorm followed by another one making him get up in bed. He listened closely as he heard a pair of shuffling feet move away from their door. Jaehyun looked towards the closed door of his room and back at his roommate deciding to go and examine the situation. The last thing he wanted was for one of them to do something stupid and end up hurting themselves. He carefully unlocked his door, tip toeing towards the living room to find Haechan lying down on the couch that was in the centre of the room. He still looked quite grumpy as he pulled his blanket over him trying to get somewhat comfortable on the couch that barely held his legs.

"Are you okay?" Jaehyun asks carefully as he approached him, standing behind the sofa he was on.

"Do I look okay?" Haechan snapped back at Jaehyun annoyed at the unwanted intrusion.

"I know you probably don't want to talk about it but... you guys used to inseparable. What happened?" Jaehyun asked resting his hand on the head rest looking down upon Haechan's eyes that softened at the question, sadness taking over them.

"I don't know"

"Do you wanna take my bed? I'll sleep here if you want?" Jaehyun asked deciding not to push it any further. He ran his hands through Haechan's hair concerned for the boy whose knuckles were white from clutching onto the pillow on top of him too hard.

"No, it's okay... go back to sleep. I'll be fine" Haechan mumbled in a low voice turning on his side with his back towards Jaehyun.

"You do know if you ever need someone you can come to me or any of us? Right?" Jaehyun inquired staring at his back watching him take in a shaky breath before nodding his head refusing to face the older boy.

Jaehyun took this as his sign to leave as he saw Haechan shifts around the couch trying to fall asleep. The place was absolutely quiet now and even though it would be easier for him to sleep now the tension in the dorm felt higher than ever. The fight was affecting not only them but the whole team dynamic. All the hyung's worried about the constant screaming and shouting that took place every time they were in each other's vicinity. It was troublesome for everyone but he had to imagine it was a lot worse for the best friends who were constantly at each other's throats now.
