A question to Dreamies, what was their first impression of their Noona?

mark “we arrived at the company the same day! it’s amazing, actually. anyways, (laughs) i don’t think i’m supposed to say this but she was crying when we first met. her parents had dropped her off, i remember, so she must’ve missed them as soon as they left. but we got along easily and became friends in an instant, so i was there for her. she was really cute at the time.”

renjun “i met taehee noona the same time i met mark hyung in the cafeteria. right after hyung told me i looked older than i was, i saw noona punch him lightly on the shoulder like she was scolding him (laughs). then she offered me to have lunch with them and was really friendly. from then on, i thought she was a reliable person even if i didn’t know her well at the time. (he grins) and i was right.”

jeno “taehee noona….noona was introduced to me by mark hyung. she was wearing an oversized band shirt and dark sweatpants, like she just came from practice. she looked really cool! honestly, i’ve heard about her from the other trainees about how she’s so good at dancing and rapping — singing, too. so in my mind, i was like, ‘ah, so this is the legend they’re talking about’ (laughs). despite all that, she’s still down to earth. that’s one of the things i like about her.”

haechan (he answers right away, giggling) “taehee noona and i did not get along well at first, you guys probably knew that already. i vaguely remember how we first met actually, but i just remember how her reactions were so funny whenever i teased her. i’m grateful that she doesn’t take them to heart, she teased me back so it was fun. noona is really easy to get along with. it’s never a dull moment with her.”

jaemin “noona was mark hyung’s friend — that was all i thought of her back then. there was this one time she bought ice cream for her friends, and even if we weren’t close, she thought of me and saved one for me. she actually fought haechanie for the choco ice cream before offering me a strawberry flavored one. but then jeno told her i didn’t like the taste of artificial strawberry, so in an instant, she took the strawberry ice cream and gave her choco one to me. i was really surprised, i didn’t think she’d do that. but noona has a warm heart. (did you enjoy your ice cream?) of course, i did! besides it not being strawberry (chuckles), it was from taehee noona so i enjoyed it very much!”

chenle “i wasn’t that good in speaking korean at the time, so i didn’t talk that much. i can’t remember how taehee noona knew about it, but she was really understanding and talked to me in english sometimes. even if she was a foreigner herself, she tried to help me with my korean and treated me to convenience store food (laughs). so now, i pay her back by treating her to nice restaurants. she’s cool!” (he does a thumbs up as a sign of approval)

jisung “i wasn’t really close to noona back then because i was shy (chuckles), but she bantered a lot with haechan hyung in the past. it was amazing, i swear. she was the only one who could keep up with him at the time. but i think we became closer during mmc..? she treated me really kindly and it was nice dancing with her, so…yeah, that’s my first impression of taehee noona.”

9:57 pm “jisung-ah! let’s do this one,” the maknae on the other side of the practice room looks up at the call of his name, seeing his noona walk towards him with her eyes glued to her phone.

he’s about to stand up from his place on the floor but then sees mark pull taehee by the elbow ‘til she’s fully seated on his lap. “you’re distracted!” jisung shouts, quickly shifting his focus back to the game he was playing on his phone. 

taehee clicks her tongue as she fell on on top of mark, feeling him press his cheek lovingly against her spine while he squeezes his arms around her waist, trapping her. he places his chin on her shoulder and asks, “what are you and jisung going to do?” 

“this one,” she shows him one of those tiktok dances that had caught her attention, the video of two best friends dancing along to a steelix remix of lloyd’s ‘lay it down’ playing on her phone. mark knows he’s heard that song somewhere.

he pulls away from taehee’s shoulder to meet her eyes and blinks, “why can’t you do one with me?”

mark doesn’t miss the way she brings her eyes down to his parted lips, feeling his heart beat erratically in response to the subtle action. maybe he was just imagining it, he tells himself. it’s all fuzzy even when she answers his question, saying, “because i want to do it with jisung. we’re cute.”

“i am cute too.”

“i am very aware,” taehee nods teasingly, tapping her finger on his bottom lip.

and mark was content with that, or maybe he just wasn’t mentally ready for what else his best friend could do after she looked at him with such eyes.

everything in him was in such a haze, yet the scene of her glancing to his own pair of lips even just for a split second was just so vivid in his cluttered mind, he kept playing it over and over and over again as she slipped away from his grasp.

“weak,” mark hears someone cough from beside him, the voice he immediately recognizes to be renjun’s. seeing as taehee’s out of earshot, he turns his head towards him with an airy chuckle, “what?”

“you and jisung keep acting jealous, but then you just let her go like that,” at his words, mark pretends to act as if he were absurd, furrowing his brows in confusion before releasing a laugh.

“you all are so weird,” he shakes his head, putting his arm around the younger’s shoulder before ruffling his hair. “argh, hyung!” renjun groans, freeing himself from the elder’s grasp.

“but you’re wrong.”

“hm?”

“who said i’m letting her go just like that?” renjun lets an amused grin grow on his lips upon hearing mark’s confident words, his hand coming up to hit his shoulder playfully. “ohoho, mark hyung,” he teases, seeing the smugness radiate off mark as he gives him a casual shrug.

“but you know,” he tells him, “she’s her own person.”

renjun throws his head back as he laughed, “why are we suddenly getting serious? do you really like her?”

mark swears he felt his heart stop at that exact moment, but he doesn’t let it show, choosing to reply with, “oh i was just playing along.”

renjun gives him one last chuckle before returning to his phone, a video of two cats jumping an invisible wall playing on the screen.

mark releases a breath he didn’t know he was holding before shifting his eyes to the other side of the room, watching as taehee and jisung start to record their dance. “they’re so cute,” he smiles to himself.

just one more

summary jisung hates goodbyes. he hates them even more when he’s saying that to the one person who’d never get tired of hearing his stories again and again even in the late hours of the night (of course, free ice cream is also involved).

featuring jisung, a little bit of jeno and jaemin

I. DECEMBER 4, 2018 IN THE DREAMIES’ DORM

uncontrollable laughs shook taehee’s body as she laid flat on jisung’s bed. beside her, the brown haired boy’s eyes crinkled and a grin spread on his own lips after recalling the time he and chenle almost got into trouble for going out late at night. they would have been completely, in jisung’s words, obliterated if taehee wasn’t there to swoop in and save them. he remembered the internal gratefulness he felt for his noona and her smooth words that persuaded their manager to let them off the hook. “i can’t believe the hyungs dared us to do that,” he groaned into his hands.

taehee sighed, the corners of her lips quirking into a small smile. “one day, you guys will get into trouble and i wouldn’t be there to save you,” she joked. jisung subtly froze at hearing her words and his heart dropped to his stomach. 

noticing the lack of reply, taehee looked to her right in concern and nudged the younger boy gently with her elbow. “what’s wrong?” she asked quietly.  taehee took note of the slight frown on jisung’s features before he shook his head. “you’ll be gone most of the time starting next year,” he weakly mumbled. she allowed herself to observe his side profile for a few more seconds, blinking as she turned her head to the ceiling with a hum.

“don’t be too sad. what are you? living in the stone age? you can just call us if you need help, you know?” yet deep down, they knew it wouldn’t be the same anymore. who’s going to agree (though quite reluctantly) to treat him to ice cream late at night? who’s going to accompany him to the practice room and dance to his hearts’ content with? who’s going to pat his head and tell him he did a good job by the end of the day? even if he could bring himself to ask the other members, it only came naturally to taehee anyways.

no more mark and taehee to guide them during recordings. no more mark and taehee to act like parents during schedules. no more mark and taehee to complete them as eight members.

the thought alone brought tears to jisung’s eyes; the dream show was still tomorrow. “jisung-ah, it’s late, and we both have to get some rest. i’m gonna go back to the dorms now,” i don’t want you to leave.

taehee sat up on the bed but her feet stayed planted on the floor. she knew that she and mark weren’t really gone. they’re only gonna have separate schedules after they officially graduate. they’re still a few messages away.

it wasn’t the end of nct dream, but why did it feel like it?

jisung pushed himself up on his elbows, “i still have some stuff to tell you.” he’d blame the small crack in his voice on puberty (but really, he’s just trying to hold back the tears before the actual show). he wanted to say, “just 15 more minutes,” but that would be too obvious. too late for that — taehee can read him like a book.

the older girl looked back at him and proceeded to give him a sad smile. “just one more, noona,” jisung pouted, “just one more.”

there was a tint of playfulness in his tone, like the one we’d hear whenever he loses in a game and asks for one more chance. jisung tried to ignore the tinge of sadness in his chest, his eyes begging taehee to stay for a few more minutes.

“just one more,” taehee reminded jisung, leaning back until she laid beside him. “understand?” jisung grinned triumphantly at her, giggling as she yawned into her palm. “okay, so remember that one time haechan hyung cut your hair? he actually......”

the next morning, jeno was surprised to find taehee sleeping beside jisung; the blankets were pulled up to her chin as the latter twitched in his sleep. he noticed the way the maknae’s arm was thrown carelessly across her stomach before his eyes drifted to jaemin, sound asleep on the other bed. “i’m hoping noona’s willing to help me wake up jisung then,” jeno sighed, stepping into the room to begin their day.

“none of the members will take her affection 😭 come here jinsoul i’ll take it all https://t.co/YgGq7a3VyD”

taehee showing her affection for jisung (2018)

“what was your challenge again?”

“launchpad,” jisung answers taehee, his curious eyes looking back at her excited ones.

“this is why i bought this for you.” his eyes widen in surprise hearing this, “really?” a black plastic bag is then handed to him and he looks at it with amazement. “noona bought this?” jisung asks once more.

“yeah, that’s why you have to do aegyo,” taehee snickers as she stands behind jisung, her hand laying on his shoulder. the younger boy shyly shakes his head no, “ah, noona...”

“okay, a kiss on the cheek then,” taehee bends down to jisung’s level but he moves away, an embarrassed giggle sounding out of him. “noona!”
