WHELVE ↠ NA JAEMIN

↠ C . 25

The classroom was empty and Taeyeon was finishing off her homework for Mrs Jeon. After all she was told that she would be called out to give her answers. But thankfully Mark explained and helped the girl out and Jaehyun did as well.

She dropped her pen on the desk and leant back stretching her limbs and neck from bending forwards constantly writing.

"Done at last" she yawned and faced her neighbour. Dasom was texting someone, smiling ear to ear with a hint of pink painted on her cheeks.

Curiously Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows wanting to know what got her in such a mess.

However when leaned over towards her Dasom flinched unconsciously hiding the device away.

Taeyeon gasped and placed an arm around her friend "Hiding things from me? How can you? Who were you texting? I saw you blushing. Was it Donghyuck?" she teased.

"No it's not." Unconvinced, raising her left eyebrow "Seriously it's someone else" she examined between her eyes and Taeyeon's pupils enlarged in shock.

"Wait Somsom! You're being serious! Are you meeting someone at the moment!" she shook her head vigorously but her lips told the truth. She couldn't help but smile. "Wait, who is it? Do I know them? Wait and why didn't you tell me" Taeyeon pouted.

"Because I never got the chance. You're always with your best friend Donghyuck these days." Dasom blurted out with realisation. Taeyeon couldn't help but hear the hint of sadness in the tone of her voice.

She was right. After moving to NCT HQ, she hasn't been speaking to Dasom or hanging out with her as much. She didn't mean to distance herself away. She just became extremely close with Hyuck and they became really good friends.

She felt a pang of guilt, Dasom was with her all the time. Especially when she needed someone the most, Dasom treated her to food and made her smile. She helped her forget her worries when her parents died. Taeyeon regretted not realising that she was unknowingly pushing her friend away - the first ever one she made after moving to Neo city.

"Somsom I'm really sorry. I didn't realise. We haven't spent a lot of time with one another"

"Hey it's ok. That's not what I was trying to imply. It's not like you stopped being my friend. We just expanded our group, that's all so we couldn't speak a lot. We are still friends... right?" Dasom asked the last question quietly, hoping that she could hear what she wanted.

Taeyeon smiled and jumped into the girls arms "Of course we are. I will never leave you alone. We will always be friends" She giggled when she felt Dasom's arms around her. Both girls were cuddling but stopped after hearing footsteps walking towards them

"What are you both doing?" Donghyuck asked. Taeyeon looked at him and stood up straight. But she didn't answer because of the figure standing beside him looking back at her. Jaemin didn't say a word nor had a readable expression on his face. He just looked at her blankly.

"Umm... Yeon?" Donghyuck asked again. She flinched at the sight of his hand waving in front of her. Bringing her out of her trance."Huh... oh... yeah we weren't doing anything" she lightly scratched the back of her neck. She bit her bottom lip realising that she was staring at Jaemin. Thankfully Hyuck didn't realise. I would never hear the end of that.

She exhaled and glanced back at Jaemin who was now smirking at her. He saw her staring at him .She couldn't help but blush a little. Her face turned even more red out of embarrassment. She forcefully looked away towards Donghyuck "Don't wait for me after school. You don't need to pick me up."

"Why?" Taeyeon looked at Dasom and held her hand gently. "Let's go out and have some fun today. What do you say?" Dasom nodded as excitement took over her. "Umm what about me? We haven't hung outside of school before" Donghyuck said, clicking his tongue and placing both hands on his hips.

Taeyeon faced him and said Yeah we did. Donghyuck scowled and mouthed back to Yh at home but not outside.

Taeyeon groaned "We can hang out another day. Ok?" she spoke passive aggressively. Donghyuck smiled and turned around satisfied. He sat down and plugged in his earphones. Taeyeon looked at Jaemin who was blatantly giving a cold glare. But this time it wasn't at her but instead at Donghyuck.

"Damn this pastry is a bop!" Taeyeon grinned while speaking through her munching. Dasom quickly swallowed her bite to speak. "You sound like Haechan"

"Yeah, his goofiness is rubbing off on me slightly." she shook her head and shivered in disgust. "Anyway, let's talk about your little crush. Who is it?"

Dasom smiled instantly as she thought about him making Taeyeon feel excited for the girl. "I'm not going to tell you who it is yet."

"At least tell me something about him. I'm dying from curiosity"

"He is cute, caring and funny." She carefully placed her pastry down. "His laugh is annoying but he makes me smile." Taeyeon felt so delighted for the love struck girl. Dasom was fiddling with her fingers and her cheeks turned rosy.

"You really like him. Don't you?" Dasom looked up and nodded shyly. Taeyeon squealed while hitting Dasom's arm. Both of them began squealing like idiots gaining other customers attention

"Is he from our school?"

"Yeah he is from our school"

"Do I know him?" Dasom smirked and looked away

"I'm not telling you" Taeyeon groaned and pushed the girl away making her laugh

"And here I was thinking you actually liked Hyuck" she tilted her head shocked that her theory was incorrect. Dasom clicked her tongue. "Here we go again"
