Light It Up | NCT

Chapter 16

Kun's POV

Kayla's house is actually gigantic. But I wonder why she even knows about the utility fees and stuff - isn't that for your parents to worry about?

Anyways, Kayla said we could do anything we wanted to do until we "want to sleep", which probably won't be soon, since everyone is having so much fun.

I've already decided that it's my duty to watch the Dreamies, plus Yangyang and a few other troublemakers to ensure that they don't bother Kayla or break anything.

I think that Renjun is going for some kind of rematch against one of the Dreamies, but I have to figure out what the others are going to do.

"What are you going to do?" I ask, spotting the Dreamies and walking over to them.

"Rematch," Renjun responds. It's very clear that he plans to play Ping-pong with Chenle until he wins a match. Fair enough.

"Okay, what are the rest of you going to do?" I continue, turning to the rest of the Dreamies.

"We don't know yet. Maybe dance or something, or just walk around and see what the hyungs are doing," they answer.

I nod in approval and scan the floor for Yangyang and Lucas, two other troublemakers that I'm a little concerned about.

"What are you two going to do?" I ask, resuming my questioning.

"He wants to go work out with Xiaojun, but I don't!" Yangyang complains, crossing his arms and glaring at Lucas.

"Ask Ten if he's doing anything," I suggest, not wanting him to end up running around all over the house.

"He's with Taeyong, though," Yangyang protests.

"Tell him to take you with him, or come with me," I reply, exasperated.

"TEN! KUN GE SAID YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME WITH YOU!" Yangyang shouts, running over to Ten.

"Ah, still a little boy. Doesn't know how to play by himself," Ten sighs dramatically.

"Aw, let him come along," Taeyong tells Ten with a frown, who sighs, allowing Yangyang to tag along with them. I shoot a grateful look at Taeyong, who nods in my direction before disappearing down the stairs.

Well, it looks like my major concerns aren't going to be causing trouble any time soon. My best idea is to go watch Chenle and Renjun in their Ping-pong tournament.

I pass a few people on the way down; Jungwoo and Sungchan eating snacks, Jisung trying to get some Dreamies to go into the playroom with him, even Taeil with Mark and Xiaojun in the music area. 

I think a lot of people are trying to enjoy this day, since it's been so long since we've had the opportunity to just chill and get to know each other.

After a while, I get bored of Renjun and Chenle's Ping-pong tournament and go to join Taeil and the others by the piano. Mark and Xiaojun already have guitars out and are searching for songs on their phones. I sit down at the piano and start playing something. Soon, Taeil joins me.

Time flies by. Soon we've been playing for about an hour, and it's 8:00. I decide to go check on some people. Chenle and Renjun have finally ended their tournament and are now sitting with the rest of the Dreamies on the couches near the stairwell, looking like they might fall asleep any second.

"Do you guys want to try and get some extra sleep? We didn't sleep a lot because of jet lag last night," I suggest.

"Sure," they answer, getting up and dragging themselves to their bedrooms. I notice that almost all of NCT is also sitting around with barely any energy left.

"Kayla, I think everyone's tired," I say, spotting Kayla by the TV, still studying. When does this girl stop?

"Oh, okay! Let's get ready for bed, then," she decides.
