Chapter 68

Chunmei's POV

"Hey, welcome again!"

I smile at Taeyong as he greets us with Chaemin by his side, the rest of the group behind him. I don't know how they manage to survive, inviting NCT to their dorms every couple of weeks. It's amazing.

The last time I was here about two weeks ago, I got to know Chaemin and the rest of the group, along with being jokingly interrogated by Yuta and Taeil. It feels like it's been so much longer since that happened.

"Here, I'll take your coat," Winwin suggests as we share a smile. I gladly shrug it off, him draping it over the armrest of the couch on top of his own coat.

This results in squeals from the rest of NCT, who can definitely somehow sense that there's something that has changed between the two of us. How, though? Winwin literally just took my coat for me. Then again, that is kind of a couple thing to do.

"Wait, what is this?" Taeil asks, glancing between me and my boyfriend.

"What is what?" Winwin asks. Either he's pretending to be oblivious, or he actually has no idea what Taeil is talking about.

"This. You and Chunmei," the older responds, still looking between the two of us as if he can't decide who to stare at. He finally settles on Winwin, crossing his arms and waiting for his response.

Winwin laughs. "Oh, this? Me and Chunmei? We're together."

There's a silence for a moment, as if everyone is trying to process what he just said, and then the room erupts into shouts and exclamations of surprise and, hopefully, happiness.

"Excuse me, what?"
"Did I hear that properly?"
"I don't think I have hearing issues, or do I?"
"When did this happen?"
"How come we didn't know about this?"
"Winwin, how could you?"
"Wait, how did this happen?"
"Is he joking? Or is he serious?"

"Guys, calm down," Taeyong orders, clapping his hands to get our attentions. "Let's not bombard them with questions, okay? But seriously, can you explain?"

"Uh, well, literally yesterday morning, I asked her-" A flurry of more questions is flung at me before I can even finish my sentence.

"Wow, look at our Winwin, making moves!"
"I hope she didn't say yes."
"Be quiet Taeil, don't cry."
"I already knew about this before it even happened."
"What do you mean, Chaemin?"
"I just did."

Chunmei, who hasn't exactly gotten used to the chaos yet, looks around the room, trying to locate each of the speakers, but probably failing. She seems to decide her best shot at quieting them down would be to just explain things.

Raising her voice, she says, "We went to a coffee shop and he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. Oh, and I'm also the manager of WayV."

"Did you kiss?" Chaemin suddenly asks. "I've been wondering about it all night. Last thought before I slept, first thought when I woke up. Other than Taeyong, of course." Our leader smiles, looking flattered and relieved at the same time.

"Uh, yeah, we did," Chunmei answers after a bit of hesitation. The group again erupts into cheers, shouts, and exclamations. This is all interrupted by a banging on the floor, followed by a faint "Be quiet please!" from the neighbor below us. We share a look, then burst out laughing, trying to make it as quiet as possible.

"Congrats," Jaemin randomly says from the couch with no emotion at all, making us all laugh again. I double over, my stomach literally beginning to hurt as I desperately try to inhale air into my lungs, gasping in between my laughs.

I feel a hand on my shoulder, then the concerned voice of Chunmei, asking, "You good?"

"I... Yeah... Okay, I'm good," I say, standing up and finally breathing normally again. "But like, did you guys actually not check the internet? We're all over the place."

They all share a look, then respond, "No, we were all up late last night playing a board game. Chaemin was the only one who's used her phone since then, or rather, she stole Taeyong's phone, and somehow decided we didn't need to be informed of this."

Taeyong's girlfriend shrugs. "I wanted them to tell you themselves. You reactions were amazing, though."

"Okay, well, congratulations, Winwin," Yuta says sarcastically, then, dropping the sarcasm, adds, "No, but seriously, you have my approval."

And if I somehow even have Yuta's approval, everything from now on forth should be just fine.
