Stay With Me (Short One-Shots) (NCT X NCT)

Stay With Me P.127 (Taedery)💖

The year was 2020, and the NCT family had grown even larger. Taeyong, the charismatic leader of NCT, was known for his unwavering dedication to his members. When WayV, a subunit of NCT, was formed, it was as if Taeyong had welcomed new additions to his ever-expanding family with open arms. WayV, consisting of Yangyang, Hendery, and Xiaojun, had joined the NCT 2020 project, bringing their unique talents and personalities into the mix. From the very beginning, Taeyong made it his mission to make them feel at home within the NCT family. To him, they were not just colleagues; they were like his children, and he cared for them as such.

As NCT 2020 embarked on their new journey, the members found themselves spending long hours together in the practice room, recording studios, and on various sets. It was during these moments of togetherness that the bond between Taeyong and WayV began to grow stronger. Taeyong was a natural leader, not just because of his position but because of his innate ability to connect with people. He had a way of understanding the unspoken words and feelings of his members, and WayV was no exception.

One evening, after a particularly exhausting practice session, Taeyong noticed that Hendery seemed a bit distant. The younger boy had been unusually quiet throughout the day, and Taeyong couldn't help but worry.

"Hey, Hendery," Taeyong said gently, approaching the younger member. "Is everything okay? You seem a bit off today."

Hendery looked up at Taeyong, his eyes filled with a mixture of uncertainty and longing. He had been carrying a secret for a while now, one that he couldn't keep hidden any longer.

"Taeyong hyung," Hendery began hesitantly, "there's something I need to tell you."

Taeyong's concern deepened as he listened intently to Hendery's words. He could sense that this was something important, something that had been weighing on the younger boy's mind for a while.

"I... I think I've developed feelings for you," Hendery admitted, his cheeks turning a deep shade of crimson. "And I don't know what to do about it."

Taeyong's heart skipped a beat at Hendery's confession. He had always been aware of his own feelings, feelings that had been growing stronger with each passing day. But he had never expected that Hendery felt the same way. For a moment, Taeyong was at a loss for words. He was torn between his responsibilities as a leader and his desires as a man. But as he looked into Hendery's eyes, he knew that he couldn't deny his own feelings any longer.

"Hendery," Taeyong began, his voice filled with sincerity, "I have feelings for you too."

A mixture of relief and joy washed over Hendery's face, and he couldn't help but break into a wide smile. It was as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and he was free to express his true feelings.
