Light It Up | NCT

Chapter 26

Kayla's POV

I'm currently sitting in an armchair with the attention all 23 members of NCT. This is awkward. What have I gotten myself into?

So far, I've only had to vaguely answer why I can drive, and where my parents are. Not gonna lie, I'm glad Ten didn't ask the question too specifically.

As someone else is about to ask a question, my phone rings in my pocket, scaring me. Oh no, it's my mom. What does she want now?

After excusing myself, I exit the room so I can answer the call in private.

"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO ANSWER?" the voice on the other end demands. I flinch, glad that the rest of the house can't hear her because of the soundproof walls of the bedrooms.

"Sorry, I was busy taking care of some things," I respond politely. This is how I speak to my parents, like they're royalty.

"You need to do the laundry and have everything back up here by midnight," she orders curtly. I almost sigh, but know better than to do that.

"No pro-" My reply is cut off by my mom hanging up on me. Great.

First, I should get this Q&A over with. 21 more questions isn't that bad, right?

"Sorry, I'm back now," I apologize, taking a seat in the armchair once again. Being the center of attention is so uncomfortable, but I can deal with it.

"I have a question," Renjun says, not waiting for Haechan to confirm that he can speak. "What was that phone call that you just took about?"

"It was about doing laundry," I answer vaguely.

"Detail?" Haechan prompts, leaning forward. Dang it, I was hoping to get away with my short answer again.

"It was my mom, and she wants me to do the laundry," I answer honestly.

"Alright, I'm asking my question now," Chenle announces, following Renjun's example of speaking before Haechan. "Are your parents, like, rich or something?" He asks, gesturing towards the whole floor.

"Of course he asked a question like that," Jisung mutters, earning a glare from his best friend.

"Uh, no, they are not very rich, and they don't pay for the house," I respond. The less details the better.

"That would be two questions, sir," Haechan informs Chenle. I mentally sigh in relief, even though I know that he just wanted to annoy the younger. Chenle leans back on the couch with a hugg.

WayV ends up asking the next 6 questions. I tell them that I'm done with school, my favorite sport is swimming, I have 2 sisters, the scariest thing I've ever done is jump off the balcony into the pool, I love all my pets equally, and I've been an NCTzen since debut. All light and fun questions, even from Kun.

Then we move on to the remaining Dreamies. I tell Jisung that I'm okay at singing, rapping, and dancing, promising to show him before they leave. Jaemin asks if I can do aegyo, and I promptly refuse. And I tell Jeno that I have never dyed my hair before.

Now we're onto the 127 members, including Haechan and Mark. I have a bad feeling that these questions are gonna be more deep.
