-Oh hey, I'm Jaemin

-Wonsan hyung gave it to me
-But I asked him for it so please

-Oh yeah that's fine
-Do you need anything sunbae?

-Not really, I just wanna be friends

-I barely have any outside the group

-I would love to be friends with you.                                              

-Really? Thanks

-Ohh
-Have fun then sunbae!

-Thanks Sujin-si
-I'll text you later okay?

-Okay!

-Byee

Holding the phone to his chest, Jaemin felt as if his heart was going to explode out. 'She's so cute god, wait what? Damn it Jaemin get yourself together'

He got up and changed his clothes then left to go out with the others. The entire time, Sujin was the only thing that took over his mind and everyone noticed he was spacing out a lot, he was down bad.

"He was struck hard right?" Yuta said standing next to Jeno, who nodded his head in agreement. "I never saw hyung acting like that" Chenle said observing the boy from far before shaking his head in disappointment jokingly.

Meanwhile...

"Who are you texing unnie? Is it Ryujin-si?" Yizhou asked Sujin and plopped next to her in the practice room couch before taking her water to drink from it.

"No, it was Jaemin sunbaenim" the sentence made her spit her water out, the night before, they were all, excluding Sujin, gossiping about Jaemin and Sujin.

"Really?! What did he say?!" Yizhou exclaimed excitedly, which made Sujin a little confused. "Geez chill, he just said He wanted to be friends and I agreed"

In that moment, Sujin regretted all her life decisions. Yizhou let out the most ear-piercing screech ever, making the others turn. "You all owe me 20 dollars!"

"No way!"

"This fast?"

"Nooo"

"What are you guys talking about?" A confused Sujin asked. "Gosh you're so slow, you'll know when you understand" Jimin just said which left Sujin even more confused.

"You're so lucky, you got one so fast" minjeong made a pouting face jokingly as she sat down next to Sujin and snatched her phone, reading through the conversation.

"Right! I'm so jealous Sujin-ah" Aeri commented not even looking at the girl, but sitting next to Minjeong to read the conversation too.

"Yah you're so good at this, keep acting cute and he will be on his knees soon" Minjeong scrolled through the rest of the chat.

"Huh?"

"Stop it you guys, get up we have to continue practicing" Jimin snatched the phone back and gave it to Sujin. The others just whined but got up nevertheless.

Shin Sujin

-Hey

-Hey sunbae
-Did you have fun?

-Yeah but, saseangs were all over
the place.

-Are they really bad?

-Yes, they are disgusting
-I love my fans but some times
they can be a little too much.

-I feel bad for you
-I heard about them a lot but
never really experienced anything
with them

-They're dangerous

-Please be careful when you go out
-Even before debut

-Thanks Jaemin-si
-So how was your day?

-Oh it was nice
-I had lots of fun really
-We went to the beach and saw the
sunset there, it was so pretty!

-Really? I never really went to the
beach, only once when I was younger

-Seriously? I'll take you there some
day then!

-Haha okay then, we'll go when we're not busy, Jaemin-si

-Alright then
-Since we're friends now, can we
drop the honorifics?

-Sure! What should I call you?

-Anything you want

-Okay then hmm
-Oppa?

-No, no, no, no just Jaemin is fine

Jaemin was blushing really hard, if anyone saw his face they will think he is going to explode. Giggling and smiling to himself like a highschool girl talking to her crush. They kept texting back and forth until it was finally 10pm.

Jeamin

-I had fun talking to you today Jaemin
but I'm really tired now so I'll see you
tomorrow

-Okay then, see you
-Goodnight

-Goodnight!

Jaemin felt a little sad that she left but he didn't mind, he too was tired. And for the first time ever, he went to sleep with an unexplainable feeling of happiness.

The next day, Sujin woke up with a text message from Jaemin saying 'good morning!' Which made her smile a little and text him back the same thing before getting up and entering the bathroom to get ready.

After she was fully ready, she went down and saw her members already eating breakfast and joined them. "Morning unnie, did Jeamin subae send you anything?"

"Morning Ning, yeah, we talked all night yesterday and I got a goodmorning text from him today, why?" Sujin could see the teasing smiles on her member's faces but she still doesn't get what they are doing.

After they had breakfast, their manager was already outside waiting for them to take them to the company.

"Oh unnie, you go up first and I will follow you in minute, I just wanna get some snacks from the Cafeteria" Sujin said after they got there and the other left her and went.

As she was walking back to the elevator and was met with someone she hadn't seen for long. "Oh, Hyerin unnie?! It's nice seeing you here" Sujin cheerfully said to Hyerin, who in return gave her the fakest smile known to man.

"Hmm, how does it feel like taking my place?" Hyerin said in a very rude and annoying tone. Sujin never liked her from the first second she met her, but she always played nice because she doesn't want to be judgemental of her when she never got to know her that well.

"What place?" A confused Sujin asked the girl, she doesn't remember doing something bad to her ever.

"My place in the final debut lineup, which of the directors did you whore sleep with, hmm? Was it the head manager? Or maybe the CEO?" Sujin's blood started boiling immediately, how dare she?

"Watch your mouth Choi Hyerin" Sujin threateningly said and stared into her soul with the scariest look ever. "Or else what? Show me bitch"

"Oh you don't wanna see" In a split second, Hyerin slapped Sujin across the face, giving her a cut that will sure scar for a long time with her long nails. It sure hurt like hell.

Sujin immediately held a handfull of Hyerin's shirt and pushed her to the wall before sending a punch square to her face. Sujin was only seeing red. 'How dare she slap me? I'll make that bitch cry'.

But before Sujin could punch Hyerin again, she was held and back by the person who saw everything from the beginning. "Stop it you two, you will get hurt" Jaemin said to them. He had Jeno and Renjun behind him as well.

"Fuck you Shin Sujin, you will regret this" Hyerin threatened as she got up from the floor, the impact of the punch sending her down with a bleeding lip.

"You got lucky he was here to save your ass, but I promise next time, only death can stop me from beating your ass into tomorrow bitch"

Hyerin didn't reply and just left. "She dares to call me a whore when she had sex with the entire male population then slap me? Oh I'm not scared of punching her ass into a coffin" Sujin's anger was very evident in her voice.

"Please calm down, Sujin-ah" the voice made her head snap back, she never focused on who was the one to interfere between her and Hyerin until now.

"Sunbae?! Oh my god I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?"

"No but you are, please go up now because your cut is bleeding, a lot" this made Sujin put her finger on her cut that was indeed bleeding.

"Damn is she a tiger? Who the fuck grows nails like that jeez" Jaemin chuckled a little as the girl left to her practice room, leaving him there with the other two.

"She's scary" Jeno whispered to Renjun who chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"Unnie? Oh my god what happened?" Yizhou ran to her once she saw the cut on her face."You remember Hyerin? Choi Hyerin, she did this" Sujin said in frustration.

"And what did you do?" Jimin asked scared that Sujin might have hit her back, well too bad. "I punched her"

"What!" Wonsan and Jimin yelled at the same time. "She slapped you? Good thing you punched her" Wonsan said in disbelief, fully siding with Sujin.

"Oppa! You're not supposed to hype her up!" Jimin checked the cut in Sujin's face and tutted in disappointment. "This will scar"

"No shit sherlock"

After Sujin put some ointments on her cut. She just totally forgot about what happened and continued to practice like nothing ever happened.

When 5 minutes were left for them to finish, some of the NCT memebers started to come. Including Jeamin.

"Hey um... is, is your cut okay now?" He asked Sujin who was putting her stuff in. "Yeah, thanks by the way and sorry for earlier, I'm not usually like that" she said with a nervous chuckle, she didn't want her sunbaes to get a bad idea about her.

"Oh don't worry, it's alright, um is you debut date set?" He asked, trying to let the conversation continue as much as possible.

"Yeah! It's november 17th" Sujin smiled at him. If anyone looked at them they might think that Jaemin was just so crazy in love, and they'd be right. It felt as if his heart will explode out of his chest if she kept smiling at him like that.

"Oh Jaemin-ah, I will go now" Sujin snapped him back into reality. "Huh? Uh yeah right um bye, I'll text you later" he shamefully said because of his stutters.

"Alright, bye" she waved and left. "Jaemin-ah? You are already on that level?" Heachan teased him. "Shut up Hyuck"

🜚

The next day, Sujin was walking with Aeri to the recording room when she was met with the person she wanted to see the least. Hyerin.

"Oh look who it is" she said in her usual rude tone "brought your pig too?" Refering to Aeri beside Sujin.

"Are you lifeless? Like seriously" Sujin rolled her eyes and tried to walk past Hyerin, but she stood in her way. "Where are you going?" Hyerin asked "None of your business" Aeri snapped at her.

"I wasn't talking to you bitch" Hyerin raised her clenched fist to Aeri's face as if threatening her as she stepped closer to her, but Sujin was quick to get in front of her.

"We got a problem here? Was last time's punch not enough for you?" Sujin put her forehead on Hyerin's and started walking forward, making Hyerin walk backwards until her back hit the wall.

Sujin was taller than Hyerin, so she looked more threatening than her.

"You'll regret this"

"Make me"
