Windows | NCT Ten

Chapter 71

Yeona's POV

Honestly, I'm really comfortable right now. All I need in life is Ten, cats, and art... Actually, that's not true, but it definitely represents my mood right now.

"Can I just stay here tonight?" Ten randomly asks. "I don't feel like going through all the effort of going home. And your bed is comfy. And I want to avoid WayV. And I like spending time with you and Luna."

"Sure, why not," I respond, laughing at the myriad of reasons that he could probably give if I don't stop him.

There's a comfortable silence for a few moments, before my boyfriend randomly says, "You know, I have something to confess to you."

"Mhm?" I hum, watching as Louis grooms his paws.

"Yangyang was technically the one who started our relationship," Ten responds. "You know, that day that Luna, Louis, and Leon started staring at each other? He walked into my room, figured out what was happening, and then went, and I quote, 'You should talk to the cats'."

I laugh. I'm not even that surprised; Talking to cats sounds exactly like something the maknae of WayV would suggest doing, but at least his actions sparked this whole thing. "Wow, I'll make sure to thank him one day."

Ten nods, then asks, "For real though, what was your first impression of me when I wrote 'Meow' on a sheet of paper and taped it to my window?"

"Well... Not gonna lie, I thought you were very, uh, interesting, and definitely kinda weird," I respond. "Oh, and you literally wouldn't show me your face, which I thought was a little sus. Then again, I wasn't really getting any human interaction, so I didn't know what to think."

"Come on, I'm an idol," he mutters.

I laugh. "Fair enough. Which reminds me, you also didn't tell me about how you were a part of NCT until you needed help exterminating Haerat-"

"Which also had reason behind it. I would've told you soon anyways, but the incident just sort of sped it up," Ten tries to explain. "But seriously, I wonder how she's doing. Has she even figured out that we've been tricking her this whole time?"

I shake my head, both at the thought of the girl and as an answer to his question. "That sasaeng probably has the IQ of a chair, and she's also blinded by her obsession with NCT. Plus, our plan was so well executed that she might never figure out that she's been tricked."

"That's true," Ten laughs, moving his upper body so that he's closer to me.

We lay there in comfortable silence for a few minutes, the room filled with only the sounds of our breathing and the occasional meow or purring from a cat.

"Okay, I'm gonna fall asleep soon. Wake me up later to brush my teeth," Ten randomly announces, sliding under the covers.

"Alright, unless I fall asleep first," I respond.

As I'm petting using one arm to pet Louis and the other to pet Leon, Ten's sleepy voice cuts through the darkness again. "Wow, it's been a long ride."

"It really has," I respond. "And you sound like you're about to fall asleep, so go to sleep and I might wake you up later."

He yawns. "Alright. But things worked out, and you know, we're alright."

"Exactly."
