Chapter 23

Drinking a fresh cup of iced lemon tea you hear Taeyong calling for you.

"Yo want to play a round of Volleyball?" You turn back to Taeyong.

"Keen!" The rest of NCT welcomed you and divided themselves into 2 teams.

It wasn't long before the rest of the idols went to watch from the sideline. Noticing how close NCT is you were able to enjoy the game. You always loved sports but sports back home at school was just dodgeball, you against everyone; no matter what sport it was. Being on the same team as Taeyong you were determined to do your best. 

"Fighting!" You and Taeyong both shake on it before starting. 

The first serve was made from the opposing team, Mark behind you hits it to Taeyong allowing Taeyong to give you the opportunity to spike it. You jump high and spike it hard towards the open side which gave you guys a point. 

​​​​"Yes!" Mark hi 5s you while Johnny, Taeyong etc give you the thumbs up. 

​​​You​ were doing well for yourself personally but unfortunately your team was losing. 

"Yo how about we do losing team does a punishment?" Doyoung from the opponent team suggests which you all agreed. 

The audience which consisted of mainly girls were anticipating the result. Since the winning team so far was doing well you knew they would want to take it a step further which a punishment which actually gave you more determination. 

No matter the results, you were enjoying yourself and getting closer to Taeyong in the process. It was finally tied, deuce. You serve hard which you managed to get an ace, a serve with no replyy. Finally ​​matchpoint time. The cheers from the other girls grew louder which made you more energetic, you had supporters. 

The opposing team finally serve which Johnny manage to save, passing it to Taeyong who gave you the opportunity to spike again. 

"Hit it hard ________!" Taeyong says while hitting it high for you.

Determined you throw yourself in the air, higher than before making your tank top fly upwards which showed your abs. This did not go unnoticed as the girls lowkey squeal. 

"How does she look so cool?" 

"Oh my gosh..."

"Its getting hot in here"

You hit the ball downwards and manage to win the game for your team. 

"YASSSSS _______ WE WON WOOHOO." Your team starts cheering for you as they pat your back and Taeyong gives you that brotherly smile. 

"Since you gave us those last 2 points, what punishment should we give them?" Taeyong asks you which the whole team looks at you curiously. 

"Hmmm it's getting late, and I'm pretty sure we are all hungry so let them cook the BBQ for tonight?" You didn't want to give such a big punishment for a chill game but we were all hungry so putting the two together worked out. 

"Alright deal!" The opposing team keeping their deal fair and square began to grill steak and chicken wings. 

Even though you gotten used to being around idols, maybe, you still never would of thought of going on a trip and having lots of fun. This outing had no forms of bullying, pain and your anxiety levels were low. 

"Hey ______ you free at the moment?" You look up to see Amber offering you a cold cup of juice. 

"Yes! Uhmm thank you!" You bow multiple times seeing your role model in front of you. 

"Aye no need to be so formal haha just wanted a chat, let's go on the sand" She says in English making you nod and walk towards the sunset. Since the pool is right next to the beach, it was probably best to go there for some privacy. 

"So you enjoying yourself?" 

"Yes, this day can't go any better to be honest also I just want
