Simply Soft ~ NCT 127 ver.

a/n ~ here is the final version of simply soft.. i hope you like it!!

• Prompt: johnny. just johnny. • Genre: platonic fluff, bullet point scenario, nct member!reader  • Warning(s): strong desire to be a part of nct • Reader Gender: gender-neutral

==≎==

Taeil

ok google, what does soft mean?

never have you seen taeil so whipped for someone

always supporting you and looking at you with the biggest heart eyes

haechan pretends to get jealous and petty whenever taeil shows you more attention than him

you have competitions sometimes

but besides that,

you show taeil so much love and he has so much to give in return

he’s not the best at expressing his love, but you know he cares through the little things

like when he cleans up after you 

or gives you firm hugs that last tens of minutes at a time when you aren’t feeling the best

or lets you rest in his bed if you fall asleep during the haechan movie nights you crash

he finds you so precious and never wants to see you sad

his favorite time to hang out with you is right after the two of you get home from a busy day

doesn’t matter what you both did, he’ll make sure to find you at the dorms

most of the time he just gives you the look which means he’s picked out some snacks and is ready when you are

to him, there is nothing better than taking a shower and then inviting you to put on face masks and dance to music

lets you pick the playlist

but, he’s very picky about what kind of music it is

either gives you one of his hoodies or steals one of yours

you both get comfy clothes on

and then apply skincare before picking a face mask and putting them on each other

lots of cute selfies that will never be shared but always treasured

in conclusion, taeil loves relaxing with you

“oh! oh, this is the song! quick, come dance!”

==≎==

Johnny

are you ready for another...

johnny’s communication center?

probably not

you’ve only gotten to appear in one of johnny’s youtube videos which was like a 40-second debut

rip y/n

however, contrary to popular belief, you do spend time with him

he’s like the best big brother in the world, even if he’s younger than you

brings you to clothing stores, coffee shops, bookstores, ikea

any place you can buy things really

his favorite places to go with you are clothing stores

forces you to try on clothes that are in his style just to see how they look on you

whines when you try to get him to wear your style of clothing

says your fashion sense is terrible and sad

but wears the clothes anyway to see your reaction

loves seeing you smile

sometimes you go through johnny’s fashion evaluation

either horrendous combinations or luxury styles

there is no in-between

in the case of horrendous combinations (which happened at a thrift store in chicago):

he had you put on a sparkly rainbow bikini top that left little to the imagination, khakis, a lumberjack flannel around your neck, a bandana around your head, sunglasses that had to be at the tip of your nose, and thigh-high, high heeled boots

you had never felt more out of place and uncomfortable in your life

but johnny loved it every second of it

you made sure to get him back though

you gave him a neon blue lacy bralette, a puke green and brown sweater that you forced him to tie into a crop top, jean shorts that were too short with leggings underneath, knee-high socks with laces pulled over the leggings, and strappy sandals

he pretended to model the outfit for you confidently but his bright red neck and cheeks gave it away that he was embarrassed

in the case of luxury items (which was in some uptown, expensive store in japan):

johnny somehow managed to pick out an outfit that accentuated all of your best features with a color that made you feel confident and sexy

you felt you had never looked better

you returned the favor of course and gave him a suit that was definitely a perfect fit and it was obviously red because when does johnny not look good in red

“damn, y/n, look at us! we are the visuals of nct no doubt!”

==≎==

Taeyong

duality.

never have you seen a more confusing duo in kpop history

aeygo to the maxxxx

charisma to that maxxxx

it’s like a metronome how fast you two change when you’re together

the power.

neither soft stans nor hard stans can handle it

the twitter timeline is a dangerous place

fans could be cooing at you both and having heart pains while commenting about how babie you two are

but then die because the next picture is you in all black with a harness doing a questionably 18+ pose with taeyong who’s probably got his signature crop top on

n e ways, let us move on

taeyong adores you so much and it honestly makes him so flustered when you spend time with him

he loves, loves, loves when you take him out

he doesn’t leave the dorm much unless it’s for work

invite him to join you anywhere and he’ll instantly agree with so much enthusiasm, it’ll make you want to give him the world (though he deserves it)

he enjoys the little things

like walking down the street and bumping shoulders every so often while you guys talk about your days

or holding hands while crossing the street to make sure the other is safe

if you go somewhere to eat and offer a bite to him, he’ll melt

do anything for him and he’ll melt, really

one time you held the door for him and he had heart eyes the rest of the night

another time, you complimented his taste in fashion while you took a few pictures of him for instagram and he couldn’t stop smiling

how can he be so precious?

always tries to impress you with a surprise while you are out

he might spoil his new solo track or pay for a meal if you stop anywhere to eat, but that’s when he’s feeling extra

one time he surprised you with a tight hug and a genuine thank you that actually made you cry

“baby, please... spend some time.. with me?”

==≎==

Yuta

you and yuta are like two peas in a pod

like peanut butter and jelly

like strawberries and chocolate

like french fries and burgers

like fish and chips

sorry, i’ll stop with food pairs im kinda hungry right now

anyways, you get it

yuta feels lost when you aren’t around. you are his best friend, his other half (winwin who?)

yuta without you just feels... wrong

nct’s instragram is full of the pictures you guys take when you go on adventures together, which is very often

it’s his favorite thing to do with you; traveling and exploring

you pull up a map on your phone and go buck wild

you’ve both found some pretty cool places and some amazing views

you found a hidden cove somewhere off the coast in california but you guys got in trouble later that day because no one could find you

turns out you guys had wandered a lot farther than you thought

the pictures you showed the group made up for it

they were gorgeous candids of the both of you, laughing and smiling together

one was a timed one where you were both jumping

all of these photos and videos were posted to instagram which made a lot of people happy just to see yuta and you so happy in your elements

sometimes, you guys force mark to join you which takes some convincing because you two are always trouble 

mark wouldn’t admit it in a million years, but those moments he shares with the two of you are where he has the most fun

he never knew two people could love each other platonically as much as the two of you do

however, he wants to barf whenever you guys call each other sappy pet names because, ew, third wheeling

“where should we go today, honey?”

==≎==

Doyoung

my birthday twin, let’s get it

how do i even begin to explain how much this boy cares?

you are the third member on his “favorite member” list

now, don’t get petty when he says you’re third

the story of how you got demoted from first is a bit funny in hindsight, jeno (who’s in first) takes the liberty of making fun of you for it whenever you hang out

jungwoo (who owns second) always tries to stand up for you though

you were messing around with taeyong on top of a set-piece while shooting a music video

doyoung had scolded you and told you to stop or else you would get hurt

you decided to laugh off his warning because you “weren’t that clumsy” 

turns out you were

taeyong did something cool (when does he not?) and you wanted to try it, so after he told you how to do it a few times, you did

you fell

not very far, only a couple feet, but you landed on your back

the sound was so loud that it startled everyone

doyoung had a heart attack

he thought you died

you had the wind knocked out of you and your back was a little sore, but other than that you were fine

at least ten people swarmed you

including taeyong who was apologizing like crazy

doyoung was right there, lifting you up and already giving you an earful about how he told you to be cautious

once people were sure you were fine and didn’t have a concussion, they left you alone

doyoung doesn’t like much physical affection, but he’ll put that aside to smother you against his chest and harshly reprimand you

he’s a mom friend and will always be

will never tell you, but he prizes the moments when you get sick or hurt

sounds sadistic, and maybe it is, but he loves when you are a helpless baby and he has to take care of you

always scolding you for compromising your health, but doesn’t stop pampering you

tells the other members off when they try to help him

makes you soup when you are sick and gets you anything you ask for without complaint

if you get hurt, he’s right there with some form of first aid

and since i know you’re wondering: yes, he will cuddle you if you ask.

“come to me when you need help, you dumb baby.”

==≎==

Jaehyun

jung jaehyun is the definition of boyfriend material

when you two get together, the aesthetic blogs pale in comparison

everything the two of you do together is an aesthetic, really

golden hour selfies on rooftops where your skin glows and your eyes look the most beautiful

candids on the streets of the city where you're illuminated by the street signs

coffee shop pictures where you look so perfectly in your element sipping coffee and looking out the window

snapshots of “date nights” where you stay in to watch movies or kdramas with popcorn, candy, and a bottle of wine

couple’s outfits where you pose like models while someone takes your photo

you guys do it all

honestly, the biggest ship in all of nct is you and jaehyun

fanfiction writers are jealous no doubt because how the hell can the two of you live out their writings so flawlessly

some people use the pictures the two of you take as templates for their mood boards or “nct as boyfriends” projects

you both probably started a vlog series on the nct youtube account

however, the time you guys spend together is strictly platonic, no matter how badly people want you two to “just date”

neither of you tries anything romantic because blegh, disgusting, i’ve known this person for so long they are literally my best friend, my sibling, a family member i’ve never had but always wanted

sure, jaehyun’s ears turn red whenever you guys dress up in similar outfits but it’s because of people’s reactions

if you see a picture with jaehyun shy next to you, it’s probably because johnny is screaming behind the scenes about how good the two of you look

speaking of johnny, he’s the hype man

also, sort of, maybe, kinda the reason you guys do so much aesthetic stuff

he says you guys are too good looking not to “bless the world with your visuals”

to sum this up, jaehyun treasures you and does the most with you

“what are you wearing today? we should match since it’s our friend-iversary!”

==≎==

WinWin

see wayv ver.

==≎==

Jungwoo

i love him with all my heart and i really miss him right now

it’s real soft hours up in here

not a single moment where you aren’t giving each other all the love you can muster

big comfy sweaters with sweater paws

love confessions every hour

always telling you he loves you and that you are his

treats you like royalty while also babying you into next week

he’s honestly the sweetest person on the planet and he can’t handle himself around you because dang, you really be out here existing and stuff

looking that good

since he’s so affectionate, i see him cuddling you like there’s no tomorrow

will build a pillow fort for you

honestly, he will do anything for you as long as you say please

not afraid to kiss you either. don’t matter where or when, he’s ready

some would say it’s his favorite thing to do

your cheek looking extra squishy that day? his lips have claimed that territory

your forehead exposed? kiss.

your neck easily accessible? smooch.

your hand in his? peck.

your lips in a pout? he better hold himself back because he’s about ready to risk it all just to give you a kith

the other members try not to seem too surprised every time you accept his lips on your skin

they freak out whenever it happens to them, or get super flustered

they don’t know how you handle his affection so well

you say it’s a talent when they ask you

a.k.a. you treasure all the affection he gives you because he is literally the best boy and you would die for him

he worships you on the daily (lucky)

he says his heart beats irregularly whenever you are around because he loves you that much

it was actually scientifically proven during a tv show when you had to make other members’ heart rates fluctuate with aegyo

you hadn’t started doing anything yet, but just by looking at you his heart did a boom boom and everyone freaked out

holds the title of the member with the best hair second-biggest ship in all of nct and of course, it’s with you

fans have so many videos of jungwoo hanging off of you and being clingy

always talking about you like you put the stars in the sky

you know that video when jungwoo was giving mark “the look”? it’s like that with you but at least ten times worse and all the time because you are his baby, his world, his favorite member

always has to comment about what you two did that day

never ever forgets to talk about how much he cares about you

“yeah, y/n and i are close. i love them with all my heart. they are perfect!”

nct127: welcome to neozone.

my goodness these men can serve a comeback. this is seriously incredible and I was 1100% not ready for this comeback. so let’s take the mv then track-by-track.

‘kick it’ the mv.

here is the link to the ‘kick it’ mv so you can give it a watch if you haven't already! 

yes i felt attacked. very attacked. the main choreo, i can possibly attempt the main start of the dance, this is progress. i appreciate these outfits. i appreciate that our boys work extremely hard. and yes to johnny getting that center formation, screen time, and may i say LINES. 

i love this vibe and the yellow coloring, gold! go get them baby.

AND JUNGWOO IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER BABY.

the slow breakdown brought to you by taeil and doyoung. 

‘baby we go wild, one-two-seven squad’. 

johnny killed me 127 times over with this comeback. and johnny getting all the lines. i am SHOOK 

jaehyun cannot look at me like that. honey please. i cannot survive this. and jaehyun’s hair i love it, the navy blue

yuta with his cap backwards, i cannot. 

come through taeil. yes HONEY GET YOUR ISH.

taeyong our fearless leader, is literally so snatched in this comeback. 

this choreography dance breakdown is what i live for. and mark taking them all down. yes honey. 

i love this part of the choreography with jaehyun center formation

their renegade that they spoiled earlier in the year. feat haechan, this precious bean, snapped. also living for this concept with the red bomber jackets. 

i freaking love this. i am a part of this ‘one-two-seven squad’. that's me i’m a part of the squad. them kicking and having someone thrown through the panel is literally me. that is how i feel after experiencing this mv. that's me after this comeback. 

track-by-track.

they are such a blessing and hard working men and released track videos for the majority of the album. so here is the link to their ‘neo zone’ chart track video playlist so you can enjoy the visually pleasing snippets of the songs. 

elevator (127F). can I just say that this preview track had me shook. haechan trying to ‘just keep it simple’ sure honey. and doyoung being the precious bean he is in those glasses, just got me. literally their harmonies and soft vocals in this just got me doing a little head bop. jaehyun is so smoooooth. johnny the pizza guy, i stan. it’s a solid track. and i am sooooo in love.

kick it. see above mv breakdown.

boom. our boys of 127 needed a taste of that dream life. i love this bomber jackets. and you best believe i am living my best life as JOHNNY HAS LINES. these tracks are soooo smooth, and clean and fresh. i quite like this vibe for nct127. TAEIL AND HIS INCREDIBLE VOCALS. the little break down synth after mark’s little boom, got me feeling some type of way. have i said that i missed jungwoo sooooo much and i am glad he is back and better than ever. also their berets in this mv *swoons*

pandora’s box. the smooth chill vibes continue, and haechan’s voice melds so well with doyoung’s in these intros. i love them. this is def one of my favorites, i appreciate all the line distribution in this album. this mv though....i cannot because they are too handsome. the suits!!! i have never felt this attacked ever in a comeback but johnny has lines, and screen time and i am SHOOK. 

day dream. this is officially my chill day album to play because all of these tracks are soooo chill and the title track i feel doesn't fit this first half of the album. ‘loving you feels like i’m dreaming’, those vocalizations brought to you by jungwoo *swoons* this track video was sooo cool and i love the muted blue tones of the video. glittery doyoung is the doyoung i live for. seriously this vocal line taeil, doyoung, jungwoo and yuta in this first verse. the harmonies by johnny, jaehyun and jungwoo in the chorus. I CANNOT. this comeback will be the death of me. 

interlude: neo zone. these interludes are so cool. i can just see the intense choreography build up with this one, cannot wait to see the videos eventually. continuing the legacy of johnny whispering in these. 

mad dog. taeyong and mark your times to shine boys. i love that they go back and forth, literally so iconic. i will never get bored of these two and their back and forth. mark’s freaking verse and FLOW. he didn't hold back and i appreciate that. doyoung in with those vocals reminding me of ‘yestoday’. ‘what's that on your mind feeling alienated, imma tear opinions down’ yes HONEY. ‘we making a new world come in with me’. they had freaking wolves in the track video...speechless.

sit down! from the track video i thought it was going to be another mark and taeyong track but i as pleasantly surprised with the track. because yes that threw me for a loop in the first listen, i was like dang YESSSS, get your isshhhh vocal line. there are so many styles and genres present in this single track, and i dig it! johnny’s little warning really surprised me and i was like what you say honey? and jaehyun ‘smelling some jealousy’, his vocals are like honey.

love me now. A FAVE. A FAVE YOU BEST BELIEVE. seriously this track video really got me feeling some type of way. and the flow that this track is on is next level. taeil’s vocalizations at the start of the pre-chorus. i freaking love this beat, it’s light and i want to jump around a room and twirl. i freaking love the falsetto that they come through with. once again we have the back and forth with mark and taeyong because it provides such a break to the light track, i like the ebb and flow of the track. AND JOHNNY GOT LINES. these outfits in this mv are my favorite style and can i say that yellow and stripes are yuta’s color, like he owns them. and taeil in red *insert aggressive clapping*. the coloring of this video reminds me of the nostalgiac feel that bts’s ‘euphoria’ mv had, and i dig it.

love song. literally such models, and taeil and haechan with that first verse. they are coming for me our iconic duo. yuta literally is perfect and stepped out of an anime. the confetti falling got me fam, i freaking love them. FREAKING CANNOT WITH THAT BREAKDOWN brought to you by johnny.

white night. A FAVE. A FAVE I TELL YOU. the black and white track video, jaehyun cannot look at me like that. like yuta, honey can you please like not attack me. and these vocals from haechan and taeil. ‘better eatin’ nice sleepin’ don't know what it is’-like stop it johnny . those slow pans on them in their handsomeness. doyoung i cannot, this man needs to stay in his lane along with all the other beautiful men. their harmonies are beautifully done, and i am in love. and taeyong and his little ‘오늘도 오늘도 all night long’. their falsettos in the bridge. 

not alone. ANOTHER FAVORITE. seriously love this mv, and sm needs to freaking release the full length version. it brings a whole new perspective when you find out that they filmed these separated, while taeyong and mark with promoting with superm. it literally takes the never alone to a whole new level, because they were always together in spirit *insert me weeping in the corner*. the vibe and the track are once again smooth as heck, and i love how their vocals just flow with it so effortlessly. i cannot with how perfect these men are. the harmonies at the start of the chorus, i just want to sway back and forth while hugging and crying my besties. ya know? just me? well then...

dreams come true. i have already spoken my love for this track, and the reminiscent 90′s rewind of a track video. and i love that mark had a freaking verse in this because i thought we had the whole track in the previous gift video ya know?! but girl there was MORE. 

so I would 10 out of 10 recommend you give the whole album a listen. it’s golden as always and my men always come through with those smooth vocals and insane ebbs and flows. we stan. 

also i cannot not mention the fact that winwin would have thrived off this concept and his vocals would have been perfect for this comeback. and i would be lying if i said i wasn't salty with sm for not having him in this unit anymore...because literally taeyong and mark are in sooooo freaking many units that it would be possible if they tried.

Juice Cartons // Jaeyong NCT : Chapter Four

Summary: Taeyong has never been jealous of anyone but lately, he can’t seem to get rid of the nagging spike of jealousy he feels whenever Jaehyun spends time with someone else. And as he often reminds himself, it’s not even as if they are dating. But maybe, just maybe, Taeyong could change that.

Juice Cartons // Jaeyong NCT

Chapter 4: you look like a zombie

“Dude, you so dead now.” Haechan messaged him.

Jaehyun was stumped. He had seen Taeyong’s abrupt exit and had felt slighted after being refused to accompany him but how was any of it his fault? He nudged Ten. “What just happened?”

“Huh?” Ten murmured, not even making an effort to tear away his gaze from Johnny’s face.

“Ten, some help here?”

“W-what?” Ten finally asked.

“I’m going to the washroom.”

“Okay.”

Jaehyun repeated pointedly. “I’m going to the washroom.”

“So? Oh, secret meeting time. I see. You go first, I’ll follow.” He winked, conspiratorially.

When Ten came to the washroom, Jaehyun was pacing around. “Did I do something wrong?”

“I don’t know. Did you?” Ten replied. “Is it the food? Are you feeling sick?”

“I am asking about Taeyong. Ten, pay attention.”

“Oh, that. Didn’t he say he has to write some lyrics? Don’t be so clingy, Jae. He needs to finish songs for the comeback.”

He nodded, slowly. “Yeah, he must be stressed. I wish he had let me walk him home though.”

“Oi, you guys didn’t call me for the meeting!” Winwin walked in, looking mildly pissed off. “Didn’t we agree I am the brains here?” He turned towards Jaehyun. “And as for you, what the hell? You should have followed him.”

Jaehyun looked downcast. “He clearly told me not to. You didn’t see his face. He didn’t want me with him.”

“You’re so dense. One of these days, someone else is going to whisk Taeyong off his feet and then, you’ll be the one to blame. Let me tell you right away, all I’ll offer you is a box of tissues and an I-told-you-so.”

Ten stepped in between them. “Guys, guys. This is getting too hot. Let’s just—”

“Winwin-ah, what’s happening?” Yuta waltzed in with a smile. “Are you all planning something?”

“No, Jaehyun is just being an idiot and Ten isn’t helping!” Winwin said. “Let’s go finish dessert.” He took his hand and walked out.

“Wait a sec, why am I getting blamed?” Ten groaned.

Jaehyun was relieved when they finally decided to call it a day and headed back to the dorms. He made a point to follow Johnny to his room, hoping to catch a glimpse of Taeyong so he could gauge the problem but the lights were off. He was asleep, already. So much for finishing lyrics.

He decided to wait till morning. However, confused thoughts kept plaguing him and when he heard someone moving around in the kitchen in the early hours of the morning, he got up from bed, his eyes puffy from lack of sleep.

“T-Taeyong hyung.”

Taeyong was picking up some shopping bags and he nearly jumped with surprise at hearing his name. “Oh, it’s you.” He looked at Jaehyun’s tired eyes. “Tough night?”

“Are you heading out?” Jaehyun asked quickly.

He nodded. “Going to the grocery store and if the bakery opens by that time, I’ll order Jaemin’s cake.”

“I’ll come along,” Jaehyun said, hurriedly.

Taeyong shook his head. “You look tired. It’s still early. Go catch some sleep.”

Jae felt something drop inside his heart. He watched Taeyong step out of the door and rubbed his eyes, pushing away his hair. Why do you keep walking away? He was pouring himself a glass of water when he suddenly remembered Winwin’s words.

Taeyong was stepping out of the building wondering if he had been right to reject Jaehyun’s offer yet again. He told himself, until you get a grip over your feelings, you should watch how you behave in front of him. You don’t want him to feel unco—

“Taeyongie! Wait up.”

His eyes widened as he turned around.

This seeing Jaehyun in the early morning sunlight really wasn’t good for his heart. How was his poor heart supposed to survive this rush of feelings, this exhilaration and pure happiness that he felt whenever he saw him?

I’m dreaming. This is a dream. Of course, it’s a dream.

However, Jaehyun’s voice forced him to take stock of the very real scene. He was heaving from having run downstairs but he smiled when he said, very decidedly, “I’m coming along.”

Taeyong couldn’t help but smile back, forgetting all the promises he had made himself last night. “Come on, I’ll buy you some of your favourite grape juice.”

Jaemin’s surprise birthday party was in full swing and after ages, Taeyong felt happy and content, sitting sandwiched between Jaehyun and Johnny. They were all playing a very Haechanized version of Charades which basically meant a lot of suggestive, inside jokes along with the poor acting out of clues.

He leaned his head on Jaehyun’s shoulder, cherishing his carefree laughter. Closing his eyes, he could pretend it was just the two of them. The pain behind his ribs seemed to subside and the day’s tiredness made his eyelids heavy. He was drifting off to sleep when he felt the slightest touch of a hand caressing his hair softly.

A burst of Chenle’s laughter forced him to open his eyes and he straightened up slowly. He sneaked a glance sideways but Jaehyun was looking ahead with an impassive smile, following Jungwoo’s clues, but his arm remained behind Taeyong’s neck, cushioning him, fingers playing with loose strands of his hair, almost subconsciously.

Later, after a painful game of Yaja time, they were still on the couch and Jaehyun said, “You should sleep well. You look really tired.”

“Have you seen yourself?” Taeyong joked. “You look like a zombie, an aristocratic zombie but still.”

Jaehyun laughed. “I was going for the look.”

They fell into a silence that was easy to begin with but became increasingly excruciating. Taeyong cleared his throat. “I’d better clean up before someone steps into that bowl of half-eaten ramen.”

Jaehyun grabbed his hand and pulled him back. “Kun will do it, chill.”

“Yeah,” Taeyong said, hoping to keep the nervous tremor out of his voice.

“I was thinking…”

Taeyong nodded, urging him to go on.

“About the pending dinner, you want to go tomo—”

Taeyong’s phone rang shrilly. He squinted at the screen and his expression lit up. “Give me a sec.”

Jaehyun let out a breath, watching him walk out on to the balcony.

“So…” Ten said, making a beeline for the space vacated by Taeyong. “I see someone getting all touchy-feely.”

Jaehyun blushed. “Go to hell, Ten.”

“And put Satan out of business? I’ll pass, thanks,” he said. “But enough about me. Am I seeing things or were you making a move finally?”

“I was just lending some support to a friend who was tired,” Jae replied, averting his eyes.

Ten quirked an eyebrow. “Really? Well, I am tired too. Lend me some of that support too.” He laughingly tried to lean on Jaehyun’s shoulder.

“Yeah, come here. Let me give you some support.” Jaehyun lunged at him, both of them laughing.

“Ten, did you see my camera? I can’t find it,” Johnny called out from a corner of the room.

Ten groaned. “Didn’t you just have it in your hands? Wait, let me find it.”

Taeyong slipped back. His tiredness had gone and he was smiling as he texted someone rapidly.

“You seem happy.” Jaehyun grinned. “Is it your Mom?”

“No, it’s Seungcheol,” he replied, happily. “Remember the Dispatch photoshoot we had? Some of them are meeting up over dinner tomorrow. Apparently, there’s this really good movie. I can’t believe they thought of inviting me!”

“Of course, they would invite you,” Jae said. “You’re amazing. They’re lucky to have you.” He watched Taeyong, eyes lit up with excitement, sending a slew of emojis on the groupchat. He realized with surprise how Taeyong must have really wanted friends. Being a leader sure took a lot of toll on people. He decided that he would ask him for dinner later. Seeing him happy was enough.

“So, you aren’t jealous?” Winwin asked him when he told him over breakfast the next day.

“Why would I be jealous? I’ve never been jealous in my life,” he said, a bit haughtily.

Winwin looked him over. “That’s good then. Jealousy is dangerous.”

Yuta came up to them. “Winwin-ah, did you seriously agree to watch a romcom with Taeil tonight? It’s anime night!”

Winwin turned to Jaehyun with a pointed look.

Taeil laughed from his room, evilly.

Okay soooo, I am gonna answer this ask this way too bc it is a lot easier lmao. brace yourselves people, we have 18 members to go through here.

Each member will only get one mutual! (some mutuals may be repeated though!!!) I am gonna try and not tag anyone that does not stan NCT for obvious reasons haha.

and i am gonna put this under keep reading bc again, there are 18 members lol.

Taeil: My Best Friend Jordan

Jordan doesn’t have a tumblr, so she won’t see this, but she is literally Taeil. They are both “dorky dads/grandpa’s” who are absolutely hilarious without even trying, and they are both kinda awkward but extremely lovable and wonderful in every way.

Johnny: @trashyforkpop

This is kind of weird, but I kind of feel like Annah gives off the same kind of “dorky dad” vibe as Johnny does??? I hope you take that as a compliment, omg?? Johnny is the ultimate hype man for his members, he’s always supporting everything they do and cheering them on, and Annah does the EXACT same thing. She reblogs/leaves sweet comments on people’s work and she cheers everyone on. The ultimate hype-people!!! 

Taeyong: @smittenbyschmidt (lol me)

Look, I’m not putting myself for Taeyong bc he’s my ult. I’m putting myself for him because I think we are SO similar. Not only are we almost birthday buddies, we are also both very clean and tidy and basically very motherly. He’s very shy (when he’s not on stage) and i’m very shy... all the time lol. Until you get to know the both of us, and then we are weird and loud af. We both also love to cook, we’re protective and we both love the dreamies lol. #MomSquad

Yuta: @the-maskedlady (Pt. 1)

Yuta is a ray of sunshine with a smile & love so bright, you could heal the whole world. Baz is a ray of sunshine with love so bright & beautiful. Yuta is also a  major flirt and in love with a lot of his members. Baz and I are partners in crime, soulmates, (the 2nd) loves of each others lives... so it’s kinda similar, right???

Kun: @supercriminalwolf (pt. 1)

Alyssa and Kun are similar in my eyes because I feel like they are both very wise, intelligent and just really mature. But, at the same time, they're both incredibly sweet, kind-hearted, and funny angels who just deserve the whole world. 

Doyoung: @maetaamong (Pt. 1)

Like Doyoung, who is an total sweetheart with a good head on his shoulders, Kiki is a total sweetheart with a good head on her shoulders. They are both really funny and dorky, and they can be a bit impulsive and over-excited, but they are both super lovable and wonderful.

Ten: @supercriminalwolf (Pt. 2)

Ten is an absolute sweetheart who deserves all the love in the world. Alyssa is also an absolute sweetheart who deserves all the love in the world. Both are incredibly talented, fun loving, caring, hilarious and just overall wonderful human beings. I just feel like their personalities seem very similar to one another for some reason.

Jaehyun: @1of1woo

Jaehyun is such a squish. I just want to pinch his cheeks and tell him he’s doing an amazing job (sweetie). The boy is a total sweetheart, he’s super loving and caring and super talented. Mimi is also a major sweetheart; she’s super caring and just a total squish. She’s also super talented (I mean, have you seen her moodboards??? wow 11/10).

Sicheng / Winwin: @ My Peach Anon!!

My sweet, sweet peach anon would be Winwin because they are both absolute ANGELS sent from above. Everyone in the world loves Winwin, and everyone in the world also loves Peachy. They are absolute sweethearts whom I want to protect and love and hug. 

Jungwoo: @scoupsadaisy

Like Jungwoo, Jazz is a total squish who I want to protect from all bad things in the world. They are both absolutely precious human beings who deserve all the love and support. Who doesn’t love Jungwoo? Who doesn’t love Jazz? Both are impossible to answer because you can’t not love them both. #AngelSquad

Yukhei / Lucas: @maetaamong (Pt. 2)

Now, Kiki put herself as Lucas, and I kinda have to agree with her! They are both really funny (and weird, which is amazing) and they both have big personalities, but they are both absolute sweetheart angels (with big hearts!!) who must be loved and protected!!

Mark: @liz-writes-stuff

Mark is by far the busiest member of NCT, he’s always working on something, he’s always doing something for SM, and he’s literally in all 3 units. He is so hard working and dedicated, but he’s also such a humble sweetheart that deserves all the love. I feel like Liz is always up to something. She’s always posting writings or works, and she is super dedicated. But, she too is a major humble sweetheart that deserves all the love.

Renjun: @ my Lizzie Anon!!

I feel like Renjun & Lizzie anon are similar because they are both absolute sweeties (who i love and want to protect), but they are also super savage and funny as hell?? They can both handle their own, but they can pull a full 180 and be the cutest beans to ever exist. 

Jeno: @kookiexdae

Jeno is an absolute sunshine angel who I want to love and protect from all the bad things in the world. Ela is also a sunshine angel who I want to love and protect from all the bad things in the world. Anytime I see Jeno (and his cute eye-smile), I melt inside and become so happy. Anytime I see Ela on my timeline or in my notifs, I become so happy. See, same person wow.

Donghyuck / Haechan: @the-maskedlady (Pt. 2)

There are two sides to Donghyuck that I think are very important: one, his incredibly sweet & loving side that makes me want to melt into a puddle of goo. He can be the sweetest angel to ever exist. However, side two is Donghyuck’s savage side; the side where he becomes this lowkey evil little thing (which is absolutely hilarious and wonderful). Baz fits this exact criteria. She is the sweetest ray of sunshine i’ve ever met in my entire life, and I just love and adore her so much. She sends me love asks all the time (i’m still crying, ilysm bby), and she’s an angel okay. But, this girl can be savage as hell (it’s the slytherin in her, i guess haha), and she can be lowkey evil. (ily) Because of this, Donghyuck and Baz are one.

In this essay, I-

Jaemin: @haecity

JAEMIN AND RUHI ARE BOTH SUNSHINE ANGELS THAT DESERVE ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT. Like Jaemin who just exudes sunshine and cuteness, and brings out my maternal instincts, Ruhi does the exact same. She is a total sunshine sweetheart who is really funny, adorable and simply lovely (much like Jaemin).

Chenle: @monodrmon

Even though we don’t know each other too well, you’re an absolute sweetheart just like Chenle is. I see you on my timeline all the time, and you make me happy because you are just so excited about your faves, and Chenle is always so excited (about literally everything??). 

Jisung: @rosecheol

Haley is my daughter (even though she’s trying to revoke adoption papers bc I don’t like coffee) & Jisung is my son. Both of these angels are wonderful, lovely, kind-hearted, and super talented. They are also quite dorky and really funny (& kinda savage when they want to be).
