"Where were you both?" Johnny asked the two girls who came back from returning late. "We just hung out. Why?" Johnny placed both his hands on his hips and gave a stern face to the girls.

"If you both ever want to go out somewhere, take one of us with you. It's an order. Boss will be mad if he finds out. I won't tell him now but next time I will" they both nodded and ran off.

"Hey Jungwoo!" Taeyeon jumped onto the couch beside him cuddling into a warm hug he gave. "How is my little girlie?" Taeyeon chuckled. "Oh and you as well, new recruit. Han Byeol, right? How are you?" he gave her a cute smile.

Byeol cooed at his cuteness and leaned in, without warning she pinched his cheeks. Jungwoo stared back not saying a word. "Byeol stop creeping him out," Taeyeon whispered shouted. "I'm sorry but he is so cute!"

"You do realise I'm older than you" jungwoo raised his left eyebrow. His voice sounded unusual as his cheeks were stretched far. Byeol let go "Yeah I know" she shrugged her shoulders.

Her eyes laid on the figure in front of her "Hi Mark" Mark cleared his throat and he waved at her. "You want some watermelon" he offered her a piece to which she happily accepted.

"By the way Taeyeon, what was the fight about today at school?" doyoung asked the girl not even lifting his head from his phone. "What fight?"

"Jaemin got into a fight. I'm not even shocked to be honest" Taeyeon's eyes widened and she immediately walked out of the room leaving the doyoung speechless "Did she just ignore me?" he got no response

"Why are you ignoring me as well!!" he yelled

Nothing was filtering through Taeyeon's mind. Only about jaemin. An unusual feeling took over. Something she never thought she would feel towards that particular boy. Worry

She barged into his room without a knock or warning. Jaemin's eyes widened to see her of all people walking in. Taeyeon shut the door and turned around and her eyes straightaway were lost in his eyes.

She was so distracted by what Doyoung said she didn't process the fact that Jaemin was shirtless. The boy was about to speak but halted when a pair of arms wrapped around his bare skin. "What's wrong?" his low voice whispered out to her. The girl didn't respond but only tightened her grip around him. Jaemin was slightly confused but was getting worked up with panic in case something happened to the girl.

"Did something happen to you? Are you hurt?" he softly asked her while pulling her away to see her face. He cupped her cheeks and examined for any wounds but a sigh of relief left his lips. There were no injuries except a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Taeyeon pouted then immediately hugged him again. Jaemin didn't complain because of her actions. He wrapped his arms around her body and placed his chin on her shoulder. "Are you not going to speak?" he whispered in her ear. After a few seconds she pulled away and sat down on his bed.

Jaemin walked to his wardrobe. She was confused but then squealed when she realised. "Y-you aren't wearing a s-shirt" a low chuckle was heard. "You can open your eyes," he said sitting back. He moved her hands away from her eyes to be present with the boy already in front of her. "You like my body anyway." he teased her, making her blush remembering the event on their first bike ride. She cleared her throat and gave a serious look.

"I heard you got into a fight. Did you get hurt?" jaemin's eyes widened and a smirk adorned across his lips. He raised his left eyebrow. Out of the blue he grabbed her hand. "Were you worried about me?" He teased her expecting the girl to get flustered and not respond but he was wrong.

Taeyeon immediately nodded. Jaemin was taken aback but nonetheless smiled. A small hint of warmth looked over his heart, satisfied by her response. He faced down at their connected hands and he tightened his grip. "No I didn't get hurt"

"What happened?"

"Nothing you need to know about" taeyeon sighed "Can you not get into fights?" she bit her bottom lip, eyes were filled with sorrow. He could tell that she was against it but didn't understand why. "Why? Why would you care?" he leaned closer to her. Taeyeon didn't move back like she normally would've.

"Of course I should care. I know we both started off on the wrong ends of friendship. I didn't like you at the beginning. You were always cold hearted and rude. Gave me the cold shoulder but I never hated you. I just despised you. But then after I came to NCT I started to see the good in you. And you helped me a lot and also were always there for me when I had a hard time. So of course I care about you .. you're important to me Jaem-"

A gasp was heard when she was pulled closer towards his body. He trapped her in a strong embrace and held her tight.

"You keep on rambling" his eyes stared deep into her brown orbs. Taeyeon's heart raced. She couldn't move. Her eyes fluttered shut. She squeezed them tight as he got closer and closer. His breath fanned against her soft lips but never reached. A low chuckle erupted ahead of her. She opened her eyes to see jaemin staring back at her. He smiled and gently kissed her forehead before letting go.

Taeyeon didn't wait a second and ran out of his room. She shut her bedroom door and held her chest, right hand placed right above her pounding heart. Her cheeks were red and hot. Her fingers faintly traced the area on her forehead where he just kissed her. She bit her lip and jumped onto her bed. Face hidden under the pillow. She screamed while kicking her leg. She wasn't aware of Hyuck who happened to walk in. He furrowed his eyebrows after seeing his friend strangely kicking her limbs around on the bed. He gave a judging expression and slowly backed away.

"A psychopath.... She is possessed" he stated while closing her bedroom door quietly before making a run for his life
