The Way It Was (NCT x Reader)

Training

-at class-

Reader P.O.V

“That’s it for today class, see you next week” The teacher said leaving the class

“Hwaa~~ I thought I was about to die from calculus…” Mark said with his head on the desk

“Aw come on.. that wasn’t bad…” I tidy up my books

“Well for a hacker like you everything is possible” He rolled his eyes

“Ssstt!! don’t say it out loud!” I cover his mouth, he widen his eyes then nods

“Hacker or not, I’m still human… nothing is possible” I give him a thin smile

“But you're perfect in my eyes…” Mark said facing me with soft eyes and a smile

“Stop it, we’re at public, I don’t want people make gossips ok?” I said with a cold tone while standing up to go outside

“Ouch!” he said laughing, following me to our desk

Just as we almost reached the door, Haechan appears infront of us

“Guys, we’ve been called to the dancing room, (y/n) too” he said then leaves

Me and Mark stared at each other then starts to follow Heachan

-at the dancing room-

As we entered the room, there was the 2000 liners and 3 girls… I only recognized 2 of them, Hina and Jessica… while the other on is one of the Dream’s 2000 liner’s class mate… I forgot her name…

“Ah! You’ve arrived, please I have something to discuss with you guys”  Our dance teacher said to us

“So, do you guys know what’s on next month?” she said with sparkles on her eyes

“A school festival?” Jaemin said all of the sudden

“Correct! and the principal asks me to make a dance performance for the festival, and he listed the members are you guys…” she said while looking at the list

I raise my hand

“Yes (y/n)?”

“I’m sorry before seonsaeng-nim but, some of us are already debuted, like the boys… and us girls here are trainees so… maybe you can understand this? I don’t mean to refuse the principal’s orders… but-“

“I know I know, I talked to the principal about that too but he…. argh you don’t want to know about it…” she said with an apologetic tone

“We understand seonsaeng-nim… It’s okay, we rarely go to school festivals anyway… it might be fun anyway” Mark said with the others nodding in agreement

Well you guys are alright… while me? had to stay up all night with my works… Just… stay cool… It wouldn’t be that bad….

Who am I kidding… It’s gonna be tiring…

“GREAT!! then I will tell you what will you guys perform on the festival, in this performance, (y/n) will be in both team.. you up for that honey?” The others turns their heads to see me

“I… I’ll work hard..” I nodded while looking at the floor

What is the principal up to? Can’t he just go easy on me?

“Great! so! the boys will perform 2 performances… a Fire truck dance cover and your hyung’s smrookie days dance cover… the one that is only a minute?” she said while we ‘o’ed

“While the girls will perform a Boombayah dance cover and Blackpinks trainee days dance cover… the one with Rihanna’s remix song?” they ‘o’ed again

“Seonsaeng-nim” a girl raises her hand, it was the unknown girl

“Isn’t that too hard for (y/n)-ssi? I mean.. 4 dances? Isn’t that to much?” she said

“Well… imagine that you already debuted and you're in a concert… how does that feel? they even play more than 10 songs…” she said

The girl just lowered her head in shame

“It’s okay.. I can take it… thanks” I pat her shoulders

She lifts her head and gives a shy smile then chuckles

“Well then, that’s it for today… we practice everyday, I already made the schedule and gave it to your teachers, you guys may leave” the teacher dismissed us and we walk out from the room

“Hey, cheer up… just think positive that maybe the principal placed you on both groups because you’re talented!” Hina said encouraging me

“Yeah! think positive!” the girl said with a fist pump

“Yeah yeah what ever, I’m going back to class” Jessica said passing us

We just sighs with her behavior

“Hey (y/n)! Let me introduce you to our new classmate! This is Jasmine Seo! Johnny hyung’s cousin and my childhood friend!” Jaemin said swinging his arm to her shoulder

“Nana…” she sweatdrops

“It’s nice to meet you.. (y/n) Kim…” I said handing my hand out

“Nice to meet you too, I’m Jasmine Seo” we shake hands

“You guys will be good friends…” Mark suddenly said

“Ya! don’t forget about me too!” Hina said while pouting

“Nah, you don’t fit in” Jeno said with a ‘meh’ face, receiving a punch on his shoulder from her

“Oh shoot!! we have biology class after this! let’s go!” Renjun said running to their class with the others following

“So… we have 2 hours of free class.. what do you want to do?” Mark asked

“You bring some extra clothes?” I said with a smirk

“2 pairs of them, come on let’s practice!” He said taking some clothes from his locker, and we entered the practice room, practicing

-a few days later at the practice room-

“Can you even dance?!” Jessica yelled at Jasmine all of the sudden

“It’s just a little mistake Jess, go easy on her” I said blocking her

“Well it is big for me! How can YG even accept you to be a trainee?!” she said mocking

“At least she’s accepted… did you?” Hina said raising her eyebrows

“What did you say bitch?!” She grabs Hina’s shirt

“Jess stop!!” I grab her wrist

“The three of you stop it!! maybe she is right… I don’t have talent on dancing….”

“Don’t listen to her Jassi… she is just jealous!” Hina said pulling Jasmine

“Fight me you piece of shit!”

“STOP IT!! You’re making a useless argument! Let’s just… forget about what have done now and practice… the performance will never success if we keep hating each other… I beg of you Jess… can you PLEASE collaborate with us?” I said with sharp eyes

“Tsk, fine… but I’m not apologizing” she said turning back on us got to her position again

“Come on, don’t take it whole to your heart… she is just like that…” I said swinging my arm to Jasmine

“N-ne… gomawo yo unnie..” she said shyly

“Although she is tall and at the 3rd grade, she’s still at the same birth year as us” Hina whispers at her

“JINJJA?!!”

“Hey, I’m still short in my country” I shrug my shoulders

“Are we going to practice or what?!” Jessica said annoyed

“Coming mom!” We said laughing, she just rolls her eyes

But just when we start practicing, my knees felt hurt again, so was my spine… But I hided the pain so they wouldn’t worry me

-timeskip-

“So it’s a 6 formation for the Fire Truck dance cover?” I asked to the boys

“Yeah.. I think so..” Renjun said while we were getting ready on our positions

“Hey, aren’t you tired?” Mark said in a worried tone

“I’m good…. Let’s just practice” I said while getting ready

“Just tell us if you feel tired ok?” Jeno said while turning on the music

-little time skip-

Haechan P.O.V

“Break for 15” Mark hyung said while we all fall to the ground, exhausted

All of us were sweating allover from dancing for 2 hours nonstop

“I didn’t know that the choreography is this hard… gosh my back hurts…” Jaemin said while caressing his back

“I can never feel how is it to be Mark hyung… he is just fully capable!” Renjun said with a tired tone

“It’s called hard work ya kids” He laughed

“Hey widow, you still alive?” I said shaking her

“You think?” she gives a u-serious look

“She needs healing!” I yelled while shaking her jokingly

“AARGHH!!” She suddenly screamed then hugs her own body

“(Y/N)!!” Mark hyung and the others rushes to her while checking on her

“H-hey…that wasn’t a hard shake… right?” I worried while approaching her

“Just kidding~” she turns with a straight face

“YAH!!”
“You gave me a mini heart attack!”
“Not funny (y/n)… I’m not even laughing…”

But she just laughs then sits with her head looking at the floor

“Should we continue practicing then?” Mark hyung stands up stretching his body

All of us stands up stretching our bodies too, I turn my back to see (y/n) is still in the same position

I knew something’s wrong with her, so I approach her

“Hey, you up for the next practice?” I hand out my hand

She surprised when looking at me

“Yeah, of course!” she takes my hand and I pulled her

When I grab her hand, her grip to my hand feels a bit weak… Is she really okay??

-time skip at class-

Mark P.O.V

There is still a week before the festival started, we’ve been practicing all day.. well, not everyday.. we would skip practice like once a week so we could rest

Not to mention about (y/n)… she has been practicing hard, doing her job, taking care of us NCTs… I think she is the one who got more works…

Just when I was thinking about her, I glance at my side to see her sleeping, Poor princess…

I lift up the book in front of her to block her from the teacher who is teaching right now

“(y/n) Kim… can you please read the text on paragraph 3?” the teacher called

Shoot! I shake her body a bit she didn’t woke up

“Were is (y/n) Kim??” the teacher called again

“Yah! ireona!” I whispered while pulling her arm

When I pulled her gently, suddenly her body fell to me… she fainted

“(y/n)…?”

“Omo! what happened to her?! get her to the nursery room quickly!” the teacher said

I quickly pick her up in bridal style while rushing to the nursery room, as I enter the room there was no one in so I quickly put her on the bed carefully, I take some alcohol on a cotton and make her smell it and a few minute later she was up and her face were very pale

“Thank god you’re up!” I said putting down the cotton

“Mark? wait what? where am I?” she sits up

“No no no, just lay down…you’re not feeling well” I said laying her down

Where is the nurse when you need one?!

“What time is it? We need to practice” she said a bit weak

“No, were taking a break from it for 3 days… gosh your hands are so cold…” as I hold her hand

“Thank god” she chuckles “Because my body hurts like hell”

“Are your injuries okay? should we go to the hospital?” I stare at her worriedly

“No no, They’re fine… Thanks…” she gives a smile

“Take care of yourself will you? I don’t like seeing you like this…” I said as I kiss her hand

“ ‘Sorry’?” she laughs making me to laugh too

Then suddenly we hear the door was opened very hard

“(Y/N)!!” It was the dance crews

“How the hell can you get sick?!”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s a good thing we’re having a break for 3 days”
“Take care of yourself stupid”

“Sorry for making you guys to worry…” she scratches her nape

Bish… why did they had to ruin my together time with her?-_-

-Timeskip at the dorm-

Renjun P.O.V

I was chilling with the other hyungs in the living room, others were playing games, reading books, fooling around

While I’m just drawing some moomin pictures on my paper, My mind still clouds up about (y/n)… she looks so tired.. she even fainted today, maybe I’ll go check on her

So I walk upstairs to her room and knocks her door

“Come in” she said from inside, so I entered the room seeing her on the window watching the night sky

“Hey, it’s night already.. you might get a cold..” I said walking to her side

“I know, but isn’t the sky beautiful this night?” she said with a satisfying smile on her lips

“Yeah… but you have to rest, you’re still not well… you could just say if you’re very tired or your body hurts before…” I said pouting

But she just gives a chuckle

“What? what’s so funny?” I pinch her cheek

“Stop it Len..” she laughs while pulling my hand then turns to see the sky again

“Do you know what I really want to be since I was a kid?” she said still looking at the sky

“A hacker? or something that is related to gadgets right?” I said turning my head to her

But she shakes her head

I just stare in silence from disbelieve…

“I want to be an idol…” she said with her head looking down

She… wants to be an idol?

“Then why didn’t you?!” I said surprised

“I can’t even survive from our practice… how can I be an idol then?” she lets out a dry laugh

“There’s nothing that is not possible if you try hard… you just need some care treatment for your injuries… even Jaemin takes some care treatments for his back injuries… I believe you will do great!” I said holding her shoulders

She just stare me with no expression, but then she gives a little laugh

“Thanks.. but it’s not easy doing it…” she raised her eyebrows

“Nothing is easy if you want to her the best goal (y/n)…” I poke her forehead and then we laughed

Then there was this silence between us

“We’re bestfriends right?” she suddenly asked broking the silence

No…

“Yeah, why?”

“Then say, Len… can I ask a stupid question?” she suddenly said

“Anything, even useless questions I will answer it!” I said while she just give a smile

“Len…”

“Do you like me?”
