AN UPDATE AFTER REVISING THIS: I have learnt a lot about thai culture lately and it is absolutely not appropriate to call a thai person by their given name, aka Chittaphn in Ten's case. There are some cases like Nickhun of 2PM who use it, so I will let this pass by. I watched some dramas and in rare cases the real name is used among friends, mainly used for family or role call purposes, but it can happen.
In this scenario, I was unaware of this at the time of writing it, so Ten will have on of those exceptions with you.
Sorry if it seems insensitive to any thai people put there, if requested I may change it entirely.
(This is actually the image that made me love him so much, and when i realized he was the same guy from the interview I saw of the bts NCT U mv, I was so happy and excited, he was my first NCT bias.) ( Sorry for the lousy title, I really had no clue on what to call it.)

Relationship ( So Far ;] ) :
You two haven't met as of the start of the one shot.
Scenario :
You bought your friends tickets to a NCT fanmeet, but she was unable to go in the end, so she told you that you two would go next time, and that you should go this time so that you could get into a group she liked very much. And you were into the group, just pretty low key so that she wouldn't notice. She gives you some merch that she'll let you have so you can get some things signed, which you secretly already had, but the more the merrier.
(Sadly I am not knowledgeable enough about every person in the nct subunits + Johnny to feel comfortable describing what it was like meeting everyone at the fanmeet, so I am going to only talk about Ten to make my life easier. )

>Your PoV<
"Are you sure you are okay with this? I feel like I pressured you into going since I couldn't", she trailed, feeling guilty for no reason, I loved NCT, I just wasn't as verbal about it as she was.
I laughed nervously, already looking at the line, that would lead me to said group, "Don't worry about it, I actually really like them..."
"Really", she practically yelled, "We are definitely going to talk about this- oh wait I have to go, but I'm not letting you off the hook, we'll talk sunday", she exclaimed, hanging up right afterwards, making me chuckle.
Suddenly, I felt eyes on me, making me look up from my phone, looking at the girls with NCT related clothes and merchandise surrounding me, looking at me expectantly, making me feel uncomfortable.
"Um, Oppa", one of the girls finally spoke up, "Was that your girlfriend? Are you here for her?"
Squirming a bit, I shook my head, "She was a friend... I came here because I like NCT", I said, making some girls squeal.
"Oppa, oppa, tell us, who is your bias."
How are these girls so invasive, "I can't pick a favorite", I mumbled, only rotting them to ask more questions.
"Where do you work, you look so nice~ I wish my boyfriend dressed like you."
I smiled awkwardly, "U-um..."
Luckily, NCT walked out, attracting everyone's attention, including the invasive fangirls.
After an hour or so of waiting in line with fangirls who seemed like were only ever looking up at me or over to NCT, I could see only three other girls in front of me, slowly getting to meet NCT.
Everyone held the girl's hands as they passed, successfully making all of them swoon, but I really doubt they'll do that to me, so I just need to worry about getting my things signed.
Then, I was up.
Oh god.
Taking a seat, I set my stuff on the table, taking my time with everyone, who all surprisingly held my hands unlike planned.
After about 5 seats down, I reached Ten, who I would like to consider my bias, so I decided to express my admiration for him especially, "Hello Ten, I am really glad I have this opportunity to meet you", I started, introducing myself, "I really enjoy your dancing, I think you are very talented", I said, a bit stiffly, not really good at expressing my excitement.
He smiled cutely, taking my hands in a surprisingly warm manner, making my ears redden immediately, "I am really happy you liked my dancing, and I am really happy you came here, I usually don't see many guys here, can I ask your name?"
"Ah sorry", I said, nervous that he could feel my palms slightly sweating, "My name is (Y/N), I don't think I would have come under other circumstances, but I got very lucky and now I am able to here with you", I said, suddenly freaking out that my slight ulterior motive would show, "I-I mean, I am happy to be here, meeting all of NCT."
Earning a few suggestive glances from other members, Ten smiled, slightly biting his lip, looking down a bit, before looking up again, intertwining our fingers, making my ears go scarlet, "I am glad to be here too..."
A small ding rang, signifying our time was over, "Oh no, I forgot to sign it", he said, struggling to recompose himself, stumbling with his utensils.
"Don't worry, I'll tell the manager to bring you back after the signing is finished, so you can get it signed by your favorite member", Johnny teased, smiling widely.
Ten's cheeks were dusted with a light pink, but he nodded, signaling his manager over and telling him what Johnny had just suggested.
"You can't miss him, he is the only guy here after all", Johnny said, and the manager nodded, telling me to linger a bit before I left to give me a pass.

Doing as the manager said, I stayed a bit longer after my finally getting with Winwin, in which I obviously complimented his dancing, and the manager approached me.
"This is a staff card, you are welcome to stay in the back until they are finished, then Ten can sign your album and poster, okay", I nodded, and he led the way.
I bowed as he left, internally unable to comprehend how I got this lucky, I must be some random occurrence, and manager must be pissed that Ten got distracted and couldn't sign my stuff...
After a while of waiting, some of the girls that were a part of the staff walked towards me, "U-um, are you new staff, what's your line of work", they asked.
"Oh, no, not really, Ten forgot to sign my album so the manager let me hang out here until he finished so that he could finish.
Looking at each other knowingly, they smiled, "Ah, yes, Ten was talking about trying that out quite a while back wasn't he, I hope this goes well", she said the other nodding, making me get a bit worried.
"Um, excuse me, what are you talking about", I asked, but they just giggled.
"You'll know soon enough."
Walking away, they returned to their previous work, making me have to wait quite a bit longer before they were done.
Finally I saw Ten be the first one emerge from the door that separated us, "I am so sorry, I totally forgot, I was so caught up in getting to know you", he said, still a sharpie in hand, signing my things on the table.
"It's fine, really", I smiled, almost wanting to pat his head, but that would be a bit invasive, wouldn't it, "I got a bit of special treatment here, didn't I" I asked, smiling, making him snap towards me, obviously flustered.
"U-um... I'm sorry, this may be a bit weird to ask, but... can I have your phone number?" he asked, looking at me expectantly for a second, as I processed the situation, "You know what, that was strange, I'm sorry-"
"Oh- no it's fine, where can I write it down for you", I said, my heart pounding faster, not because of his status, but because of his cute expressions.
Looking at me a bit surprised, he nodded, taking out his mobile, "Just write in your number here, hyung", he said, catching me off guard.
"How'd you know I was your hyung", I asked, typing in my phone number.
Shocked, he blinked a few times, "I guess I just assumed... (Y/N) looks so mature."
I smiled, "Just call me by my first name, it's fine", I said, watching as he sent a simple text to my phone, hearing my phone ding not long afterwards.
After verifying each other's phones, he smiled, "Put me in as Chittaphon", he said, smiling cutely.
After a brief moment in which my heart melted, I nodded, doing as he said, "I hope we can meet soon", he said.
"Me too", I said, walking away so that I could follow the manager's orders best.

"Hey (Y/N), how have you been", he asked, calling me over the phone as usual.
"Hey Chittaphon, I have been pretty good, nothing much has happened ever since the fanmeet a month ago, but things are going smoothly", I said, managing some paperwork as I spoke.
"That's good, I have been busy like always but I just finished up with Hit the Stage, it was a lot of fun", he said, and I could practically hear him smiling.
"Oh yeah, you are such a great dancer, I am surprised you didn't win", I said, smiling in memory of the performances I ritually watched on tv, "I never would have expected you to be able to do the splits, but that's just how talented you are."
Hearing him shuffle a bit, he began to stutter, "I-I- Thank you, I don't think I am that talented though, just hard working", he said, sounding a bit flustered.
"Okay okay, so what did you want to talk about, or why did you call me", I said, a bit worried since it was still work hours.
"Oh, yeah... Well, actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime", he said, completely catching me off guard, making me stop my work, "I am going to be in Seoul working for some minor projects, so my schedule isn't as packed as before, so I was thinking we could finally hang out."
"Oh, yes of course, what day are you free", I said.
Staying silent, he thought about it for a while, "I think that Friday would be best for me."
"Okay then, friday it is", I said, circling this Friday.
"Are you sure? Don't you also have a schedule?"
I chuckled, "I do, but it is much more lenient since I am the boss, so I can at least take that day off", I said, gyrating my pencil in my hand, "So would you like to come over to my house, I can make you something of your choice and you'll stay out of the public eye", I offered.
"Y-you're house?" he asked, unsure.
"Only if it is okay with you", I reassured.
"It's fine, it just took me by surprise is all", he laughed nervously.
"Then it's a date, I'll send you my address over text, text me when you arrive at my house on Friday okay?"
He gulped, "Y-yes, okay, I will."
"Okay, well I am going to work ahead so that I can finish work for tomorrow, see you then", I said, hanging up.
Putting the phone down I audibly sighed, how did I manage to go on a date with my favorite idol... this is a bit too surreal.

Finishing up the last bit of cleaning, I plopped onto the couch, resting for a while, watching my favorite tv show.
Feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket, I saw that Chittaphon had been calling me, I won't ever get used to seeing his contact in my phone, "Hello?"
"Hyung! I am outside of your house- I think, look outside so that I know that I am at the right place", he said, making me smile, getting up to look out of my window, finding him standing and waving at me.
"Okay, I am on my way to open the door for you", I said, walking away from the window and towards the front door.
Opening the door, I saw Chittaphon standing on the doormat, "I bought you something", he said, smiling as he held a present in front of him.
I laughed, shaking my head, "Come in first, at least", I said, taking his wrist and pulling him, unintentionally making our bodies collide.
Looking at each other in shock, we stood there, until Chittaphon placed his hands on my chest, pushing himself away.
Taking his response as certain rejection, I instantly stepped back, allowing him to enter without anymore interruptions.
"You have a nice place, it's much cozier than I expected", he said, walking in, placing the present on the table.
I smiled, "Thank you."
Taking a seat in the couch, he followed, not even questioning it.
"So... do you want to watch a movie or something, you can choose", I offered, handing him the remote.
His eyes brightened, smiling right afterwards, "Thank you."
Tv scrolling, he settled on a romantic drama, an ongoing series that I knew absolutely nothing about.
After a while of watching, he looked over to me, while I was still trying to process all of the plot I had missed during the commercial break, "Hey, hyung, can I use your bathroom", he asked, standing up.
I nodded, "First door on the right in the hallway", I said, watching as he nodded, leaving me alone.
When he returned, the drama was back in action, so he rushed back to his seat.
Except, this time, his seat was much closer to me than before.
Staring at him incredulously, I blinked repeatedly, "Oh- hyung, he's my favorite character", he said, watching him with admiration, "Handsome, right", he asked, looking at my bewildered face with his cute smiling one.
Not taking time to process any decision in my head, the next thing I knew, Chittaphon's arms were against my chest, not pushing me away, yet not pulling me in as I somehow managed to kiss him without my knowing.
Once I had everything processed, I pulled back,touching my lips before going for his shoulder, retracting it as I saw him flinch, "I- I'm so sorry Chittaphon- I don't know why I just did that", I said, praying that this would not be the end to our relationship.
His left hand covered his mouth, making me still able to see his furrowed brows and velvety ears.
The ruddiness soon spread to his cheeks, making me think he was mad, "I am so sorry, I won't ever do it again."
"No-!"
I looked into his eyes, unable to believe what I just heard, "No...?"
"I-I mean...", he gulped, " I never... I never said I disliked it..."
He but his lip, still as red as ever.
"Really?" I asked, "Do you... like me?"
He averted his eyes, "I do..."
"Then..." I began, taking his cheek with one hand, feeling heat radiating from it, "Can you kiss me", I asked, hoping that I wasn't pushing my luck.
He nodded, gulping at the same time, "Y-yeah..."
Licking his lips, he reached towards my cheek, closing his eyes as he leaned in, I can't believe this is happening.
Giving me a sweet and soft peck, I felt myself turn red, scratching the back of my neck as I looked down.
He did the same, looking away innocently, or at least his cuteness made it seem that way.
"I like you al lot Chittaphon", I mumbled, making him look up at me abruptly, "Will you please go out with me?"
His mouth went agape, and he nodded, smiling from ear to ear, "Yes!"
I smiled as well, slowly taking a hold of his hand, watching as his eyes went wide again, "Is this... alright?"
He nodded quickly, recomposing himself from a brief moment of surprise, "Yes- please", he said, intertwining our hands.
I smiled, placing a kiss on his forehead, turning my head to watch the drama, too busy to try to figure out the plot anymore.
Feeling a sudden weight on my shoulder, I turned my head to see a lump of black hair, smiling widely as I laid my own head to rest on his.
"I... I am really glad I came over"
"Me too", I smiled.
