NCT 127 Stories : One-Shot

Taeyong x Seulgi (Red Velvet)

It was impossible not to stare. She looked absolutely beautiful. Hr knew he shouldn't but my eyes wandered to her on their own. That was a poor excuse and he knew it but when it came to her, he couldn't hold himself back.

"A few more hours." He told himself in a whisper.

The evening passed absolutely slowly as there was nothing to look forward to. Their performance was done, so was Red Velvet's and even their award were done with. All that was left was a final fan greeting.

Tip toeing around each other in public was the worst thing ever.

After acouple of hours passed, he found himself on stage, posting for photo right behind her. He let his hand brush the small of her back as me passed for photos with the other.

Perhaps it was his imagination but he's knew better, Seulgi let her hand brush by his knee making his smile falter for a moment.

He took a glance at the top of her blind bun. She was cute and hard and soft and rough and cuddly and tough all at the same time. How was it even possible for her to do all that at once?

He stopped himself from going there. No use.

Finally, he could slid backstage and let his smile drop and shoulders sag. Three days of sooting and straight to event, he was so ready to rest.

His manager found him, patted his back and urged him forward. Seulgi passed him by. After she went a little further, she turned around, just to be sure they were away from fan's eyes she looked over Taeyong's shoulder and finally, satisfied, she looked at him.

"Exhausted?" She smiled and a lil tiredness eased. Her smile always had that effect on him.

He walked ahead and she looped her arm with his and the rwo walked ahead. Others didn't pay them much attention for their friendship was quite well known in the entertainment circle.

"You look stunning." He whispered just for her ears and earned her smile.

"You too!" She looked at him, their eyes meeting as she stared into him. Oh! How badly he wanted to kiss her, instead he kept his arm over her shoulder and the moment passed.

They had let a thousand such moments pass. By her waiting room, she let him go with one last long look.

By the time Taeyong reached his waiting room, he was already closing his eyes. He went through the montions until they reached the dorms.

"Can I ask you something about Seulgi noona?" Jungwoo asked.

Taeyong only nodded with a smike, eyes closed.

"How did it become so that you can't intract in public?"

"It just.. happened." He shrugged, not wanting to go into full regretable details.

No spoke aftet that and Taeyong felt more miserable than ever as he crashed on his bed. When his phone beeped, he barely could find the energy to pull it out.

"Sweet dreams." Seulgi had texted.

His neck felt stiff when he tried to move. His ankles hurt. And the side of his face was pressed to some hard lines. Taeyong realised he was still in the posisition he had dropped in bed last night.

As he tried to sit up, he realised his phone was still in his hand.

It was 12:30 already. He texted her back.

"I did. Just woke up. What's your agenda today?"

"Free in the evening, post 6. You?

"Free all day. Drop by after 6?"
