pairing: NCT Johnny x Reader
summary: The best time of the week was the weekend when you can see your 4 year old niece but one close call led you to meeting a certain handsome man
When you both pulled away you could just about make out the pink tint on his cheeks through the dim lights and you knew yours were just as red, you both laugh at the redness of the other. you hide your head in his chest to mask your embarrassment and he wrapped his arms around your shoulders and swayed you back and forth at a slower pace, ignoring the beat of the song you were following before.
âCome on, letâs get a drinkâ he broke the embrace and led you towards the bar by your hand with a giddy smile in his face
âDonât be so obviousâ you give his back a slight smack as he took you to the bar
âSomething good just happened, canât I be happy?â You bit back your smile keeping your head down. If anyone would have told you yesterday youâd have kissed Young Ho in a night club with his friends only a few meters away youâd call them delusional yet here you are, leaning on the bar, cheeks flushed, lips swollen with his hand resting loosely on your hip as he ordered drinks.
Your mind was racing, all the doubts you had before were long forgotten in the moment and you liked it like that, you didnât want to think of the things he âcouldâ be hiding, for now at least you could enjoy it, you could pretend you didnât see him leave early when ever you two were hanging out, you could pretend you didnât notice every time he changed the subject, you could just pretend there was nothing wrong.
After rejoining the rest of the group, you sat beside young Ho, so close you were touching thighs. He kept his arm on the back of the seat behind you which made Min Seo cast a few glances and smirks. You all chatted away but your attention was pulled by the vibrating of a phone on your thigh, Young Ho pulled out his phone and read the text that had come through, his smile fading. You watched him type a reply and lock his phone, his whole aura had changed, he looked nervous, he rubbed his palms down his jeans and bit his lip,
âDo you need to go again?â
âWhat? No, it was just a friendâ you didnât believe him but you nodded turning you attention back to the group with a sigh.
It was half an hour of Young Ho checking his phone, you knew it wasnât a friend by his reaction at every text, he tipped back his drink and placed the now empty glass on the table before turning to you â(y/n)â
âYou have to go donât you?â he looked at you with guilty eyes
âDo you want me to take you home?â He placed a hand on your knee moving his thumb back and forth. You looked at Min Seo who sat under Yutaâs arm as he yelled with the rest of the boys, she was already looking at you, she nodded her head towards the door before leaning into Yuta.
âSureâ he followed you out to the street and called a taxi for you both. He went with you to you place and took you to the door, refusing to speak or look you in the eye. This just made your anger bubble âIâll text you laterâ he said finally looking at you
âIf thatâs what you wantâ you replied flatly
âIâm sorry I have to go, Iâll make it up to you I promiseâ you nodded and he moved closer and leaning in, you were about to smile before he stopped and took a step back taking in a deep breath âIâll text youâ he repeated before turning away and leaving, leaving you there speechless and wallowing in your anger.
You slam your door and threw your coat off and threw yourself onto your bed and took out your phone and saw two missed calls from Jungwoo, you slowly slide right and being your phone to your ear. You were met with sniffling
âJungwoo? What is it? Whatâs wrong? Why are you crying?â
âItâs Lucas, his dad...he doesnât want us togetherâ he got out between the sniffling âhe even hit him, (y/n)â
âJungwoo where are you?â
âIn a cafĂ© near the storeâ
âIâm on my wayâ you slip your flats on and grab a jacket
âNo, I donât want to bother you, I just need some one to talk toâ
âIâll be there in five minuetsâ
When you got to the café you saw Jungwoo sitting with his head in his arms in just a t-shirt. He must be freezing, it was now 1am and the temperature had dropped well below T-shirt weather. You order two hot coffees and took a seat opposite him placing the steaming mug in front of him, his head finally lifted and you saw his blood shot eyes.
âWhy arenât you home?â You asked placing a hand over his to try and comfort him.
âI donât want to be on my own right now, at least thereâs the workers hereâ he let out a dry laugh, rubbing his eyes âthank you for coming, Iâm sorry i called so lateâ
âStop apologising , drink something, you must be freezingâ he let out a shaky breath and took the warm cup in his hands
âIf you donât want to go back you can stay at my place for the night, we can talk if you wantâ
âAre you sure, I donât wa-â
âJungwoo, Iâm sureâ you laughed
After finishing the coffee you both made your way back to your apartment, you let Jungwoo wash up first as you set the bed for him, you decided youâd take the couch, you wanted him to be as comfortable as he could, he argued it first of course but once his head hit the pillow he was out like a light. You took a spare blanket and pillow and made yourself a makeshift bed on the couch, you were about to shut your eyes when you got a text.
Young hoee :p - (y/n) you up?
Young hoee :p - Iâm sorry I had to leave, Iâm busy tomorrow but do you want to go somewhere the day after? <3
You pondered wether or not you should just ignore him but part of your mind was telling you you were being unreasonable, it could have been something important, heâd never given you any reason to dis trust him;
(y/n) >âą< - only if you buy me coffee :/
Young hoee :p - Iâll buy you two :)
(y/n) >âą< - whatever idiot
Young hoee :p - see you Soon <3
You couldnât fight the smile that etched back onto your face as you re read the messages, heâd sent two hearts! Two! You put you phone under your pillow and pulled the blanket to your chin, what were you and Young Ho now? You obviously had something since you kissed, heâs asked for you to go out which meant he wasnât feeling awkward about it, was it too optimistic to think maybe he felt the same about you as you did him? Your cheeks flushed at the thought.
The morning rolled around too quickly for your liking, it felt like you only just shut you eyes before youâd been woken up by the smell of food, you sat up to see Jungwoo in the kitchen, he looked back and smiled âsorry if I woke you up, I made some ramyeon, is that okay? Iâll pay y-â
âYes itâs okayâ you laughed falling back onto the couch
âSo, I was thinkingâ he makes his was over with the hot pan and puts it onto the small table in front of you âif you donât have any plans today we could go shopping...just keep our minds busyâ he smiles pushing a bowl towards your side of the table
âSure, letâs do itâ you slid off the couch still wrapped in your blankets and began eating.
You were pretty excited to go shopping, the last time youâd give shopping for clothes must have been almost half a year ago plus Jungwoo was known by his friends for his amazing fashion sense so all in all, youâd had a great day a head of you, you made it around about three shops before you suddenly wanted to go home and not come out again, you felt your stomachs ache at the sight, youâd stopped in your tracks, Jungwoo shooting you a worried glance but you couldnât tear your eyes from it.
Right across the the street was Young Ho with another girl hooked onto his arm. Busy? What a joke.
