RADIO SILENCE ,, chap 06 — mark lee

synopsis. hwang y/n and park sunghoon do not like each other. end of story. god knows why (well actually, niki is the only one who knows why). but when they’re put as co-hosts on a radio show, they’re bound to bond.

˗ˏˋ꒰ 🎙️ ꒱ main masterlist

the song outro faded and sunghoon looked over at you. you were squirming in your seat, leg bouncing up and down. the sign on air switched and as you took a breath to calm down, you caught eye contact with your co-host. when you see the shit eating grin on his face, you know you’re doomed.

“y/n, you seem nervous today” sunghoon chuckled, earning a scoff from you

“ah… well… i do have the one and only nct dream in front of me right now so…” you hesitate, sending a shy smile in return “and mark lee”

“and mark lee” mark himself repeated, giggling and fixing his headphones “don’t be nervous, dude!”

it was a reason why you were acting like that today. but also, you didn’t feel too good. maybe it’s the stress connected with your upcoming comeback, maybe it’s the pressure and messily planned photoshoot that you had yesterday until late hours. or the cover you’ll be filming after this. oooor maybe it was the undercooked noodles you ate for dinner…?

“i’m… trying not to be” you let out a scoff, earning a worried look from jaemin “but, let’s focus on you! congratulations on your latest comeback, istj! our listeners will hear the title song in a while but in the meantime, tell us about your mbtis!”

“well–“ jaemin started, mischievous glint in his eye

“if you say your mbti is sexy i will throw my shoe at you” you cut in, causing his friends to laugh, sunghoon too

“well… tell me about your mbti first then, miss” jaemin huffed, clearly bothered you exposed his joke

“dpmo” you grinned, pretending to lean down to take off your shoe.

“huh?” sunghoon cooed, shaking his head.

“don’t piss me off” you grunted, earning another giggle from mark.

“that’s a good one dude” he said and you smiled wildly, bowing your head.

“ha, mark lee complimented my joke” you poked sunghoon’s arm in teasing manner, jaemin side eyeing you. realisation hit you, causing you to shift away from the boy. clearing your throat, sunghoon took over.

“coming back to the mbti… did you take a test recently?” he asked, glancing at the paper sheet “because it’s known mbti tends to change over the years, sometimes months...”

the rest of the interview went smoothly, jaemin kicking your leg every time you stole his joke. you were glad your friend was here. and because two people that knew you really well were in the room, they could tell something was off.

“–no?” sunghoon asked mark, to which he just nodded. you blinked, not realising when the time even passed. looking at the time, you knew you have to do the closing.

“okay, can i tell one last joke?” you spoke up, smiling. jaemin looked at you suspiciously, gesturing you to do on.

“i hope it won’t be as lame as the one you told last time” sunghoon murmured. you just scoffed; he didn’t realise he just insulted jaemin with that too.

“uhm, okay… knock knock” you turned to sunghoon, fighting a smile.

“who’s there?” he asked, frowning.

“tank”

“tank who?” sunghoon asked and realised that it sounded like thank you.

“you’re welcome” you grinned, jaemin bursting out with laughter. leaning in over the table to high five with him, the room got a little dizzy.

“ah” your co-host grunted, blinking slowly “well, i believe our listers will be relieved to know that we’ll be playing istj now, and your awful joke teller will be gone for the rest of the day”

“pff…” you scoffed, sitting back. black spots appeared in front of your eyes, dang you stood up to quickly. or maybe it’s the closed window, it’s really stuffy here “welp, thank you for listening! today with you it was jaemin and mark of nct dream, along with me, y/n–”

“–hoon” sunghoon cut in, the red sign turning off.

you smiled, standing up.

“i’ll be back in a second” you announced, leaving the room hurriedly. the weird sensation in your body overtook you and you knew you need to catch some fresh air, maybe some water too.

opening a random window in the hallway you leaned in, taking a deep breath and closing your eyes. embraced in the feeling, you failed to notice someone approaching.

“hey, y/n? everything alright?”

you nodded weakly upon hearing sunghoon’s voice.

“i brought you some water, you looked pale” he mumbled, placing the bottle in front of you “do you need anything?”

you curled your arms, your head plopping down. sunghoon hesitated and looked around. no one was nearby.

he placed a hand on your back, patting it soothingly. and your tensed body started to relax.

“just be careful because the water–“ he started but too late; wanting to support your chin on your hands, you knocked something over.

your eyes shot open and you only noticed the water bottle rolling out of the window.

“shit!” you yelled out. both of you leaned over the window, looking at the bottle falling – luckily – straight into an open garbage bin. sunghoon pointed at a guy who turned around, startled because of the noise. looking his way, he saw you and started cussing you out.

you turned around and looked at each other at the same time, which caused you to start laughing; sunghoon’s vampire-alike fangs poking out. the laugh was tender, sincere.

“i’ll bring you a new one” he said softly, shaking his head with a smile “don’t fall out yourself”

you nodded, and caught yourself subconsciously smiling.

shit.

My Favorite English Line for each NCT Member

Okay, this is something that has been on my mind for a while, but I think I've finally sorted things out enough to finish the complete list, so now I'm sharing it with the world (cause ya know, to the world, nct)

Before we get started: this is my opinion, and not what I'm claiming to be their most iconic or best line (because then we all know what Jaehyun's would be and it has to do with queso), but these are just my favorite lines to listen to because they make me transcend or something.

Also, I did not include solo stuff when compiling this because otherwise, some line from Horizon would beat out every other Jaehyun line and that's too much personal bias to feel like including - I just really love Horizon.

Now, it's time to share my most ambitious project yet:

Taeil: "oh, your birthday" (make your day)

talk about transcending. him singing this is so pleasing I can't it's so soft and perfect I love Taeil.

Johnny: "ice on with no lights on, but you're still shining yeah" (faded in my last song)

you guys, you guys. the way he sings this is crazy. I love Johnny Suh

Taeyong: "multicolored diamonds like the rainbow yeah, yeah, yeah" (regular)

it's just so addicting I don't think you guys understand. especially with his little choreography, it's perfect

Yuta: "baby we go wild. 127 squad" (kick it)

nothing gets me pumped up like how this Yuta line gets me pumped up. it's so good. he's so good!!

Kun: "it was all out of my control but I really want you to know the truth" (on my youth english version)

the way this is sung, I could listen to it on repeat forever. fantastic job, Kun. wish I could give him a pat on the head for this.

Doyoung: "so stay" (promise you)

Doyoung biases don't come at me for my favorite line of his only being two words. Doyoung is my son, I love him with everything in me, and this is so soft and perfect of him that there's no way it couldn't be my favorite. he's the reason this song is so amazing.

Ten: "oh baby, give it to me" (baby don't stop)

yeah this absolutely raises me from the grave it's so aurally pleasing I can't even begin to describe it.

Jaehyun: "it's a cruel game, I cannot lose" (sit down!)

everyone go listen to this song right now I'm not even kidding. this Jaehyun line is so addicting and perfect and hot wow.

WinWin: "we should be together, you should know" (king of hearts)

I have ALWAYS loved this part, so finding my favorite english line for him was pretty easy because wow. what a pre-chorus this man gives us. thank you, WinWin.

Jungwoo: "hey, I see you" (ay-yo)

back to absolutely transcending this line is crazy. very good, Jungwoo. wow.

Mark: "skrrt pull up in the coupe beep beep. girl, I got your lovin' on repeat" (highway to heaven english version)

I actually cannot explain how much I love this line. my mom even listens to this song with me specifically because she also knows how FANTASTIC and addicting this part is.

Xiaojun: "can I be honest? I so hate to be controlled" (take off)

wow. everything about Xiaojun is just wow, including this line.

Hendery: "falling for a stranger, good gracious" (love talk english version)

you guys. you guys. it's the "good gracious." why is it so addicting and perfect? I love Hendery so much I cannot even begin to explain, but this line is surely one of the reasons why because wow. I am asexual, but when Hendery sings this...

Renjun: "I go round and around like a merry-go" (SOS)

again, if I was going for iconic, I would've put his bridge in ISTJ, but this line of his is so perfect and aurally pleasing that I physically couldn't not put it in this list. this one line is the reason I love SOS as much as I do.

Jeno: "you owe me sleep" (broken melodies)

CRIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. that is all I have to say about that.

Haechan: "you see my hope was all but gone" (superhuman)

okay this one is a very iconic line but can I be blamed for it also being on my favorites list? no. because this line is the definition of transcendental. everything about it, including Haechan, is perfect.

Jaemin: "let it in my system" (poison)

this Jaemin line is crazy I really don't know what else to tell you.

YangYang: "she's a keeper, but I just can't keep her" (low low)

you guys. you know it's good when I pull out the "you guys" as my only coherent thought at first. YangYang eats here.

Chenle: "guess I finally get back to you" (broken melodies)

is my favorite line for my bias and bias wrecker in NCT Dream both from my favorite NCT Dream song? yes, but the fact that I am in love with how Chenle sings this line has nothing to do with the fact that it feeds into my delusions. I promise.

Jisung: "hate this distance cause I'm just left here singing" (broken melodies)

okay, Jisung isn't my bias nor bias wrecker but my favorite line of his still comes from Broken Melodies because NO ONE sings this part like he does and I have to make sure you all are aware of that. this line was made for Jisung.

Okay that- that's all twenty members. I have no clue what to do with myself now.

LAST DANCE | N.JM

Pairing : na jaemin × afab reader

Genre : romance (fluff + angst), dark royalty au, witch!reader, etc.

Warning : slight angst

Song : faded in my last song by nct u

❝Are you really going to do it?❞ Jaemin cages you to the wall near his father's painting. The hallway is eerily empty, devoid of the maids and guards. Jaemin must have told them to leave. Another set of rumors.

A single strand of his dark hair falls perfectly in front of his eyes, making him ridiculously hot. The pristine blue suit compliments his physique, striking with the handsome face. Girls are gonna be fawning over him tonight. You can see that happening evidently, but you couldn't mull over it when his sturdy arm encompasses your lithe waist, a little too tight and possessive.

Your lavender silk robe does as much as it can, but it's nearly impossible for a soft fabric to stay in its place, if someone is constantly tugging it away and Jaemin is doing the someone's job extremely well. His palms are sliding down the sleeves, and the fabric gracefully slips down under his touch, ❝I don't have another choice, Jaemin❞ your voice is barely a whisper, fingers clutching on the slipping sleeves of your apparel. You're trying to be serious and not lose yourself in Jaemin's arms, but he's making it difficult.

❝You do, Y/N❞ His pink lips are brushing over your red ones, a dainty contact with the hesitation of whether you'll push him away or not. His hot breath is mingling with yours as he speaks, ❝Why can't you trust me?❞ his lean fingers graze over the smooth skin of your cheek, and unconsciously, you lean into his touch.

❝A witch doesn't trust, Jaemin. Out of all, you should know it❞ you take a sharp breath before you answer, but you do trust him, to the level you'll submit yourself to him willingly without any resistance.

❝You really are gonna make me heartless, aren't you?❞ his cold chuckles echo on the empty hallway, but you know, he's hurt. He'd given you his heart a long time ago. He gave it to you the moment, he saw you playing with your younger sisters and the other children of your country, mindlessly roaming around the meadows with your fingers constantly adjusting the sash of your peach pink gown.

❝You already are, Prince Na. I have yours. It's mine. I'll take it with me and never return it❞ you place your hand on his chest, his heart. You place a gentle kiss over his chest, an apology for taking it away from him. You press your lips to his gently, a thank you for letting you take it away with you.

The chimes of the bells reverberate in the hallway. And you hastily remove your pendant, a pentagram wound in ivy. You mutter a spell under your breath before clipping it around his neck, ❝Wear it to the ball❞ and you hastily move away from his hold, running into the chamber he reserved it for you. The golden sash floating gracefully behind you as you scurry into your room, not before turning to look at him once.

The ball starts off peacefully. The nobles feast with the King and the Princes of Axton. The Princesses and Lady Royals are yet to descend from their carriages and lead to the ballroom.

Your crimson red ball gown sparkles vibrantly with the touch of your magic, you don't even try to hide your magic anymore. The sophisticated silvery curlicues shine prettily under the golden chandeliers, leaving almost everyone in awe and jealousy. You can only snicker internally. Many would have thought of sweeping the princes off their feet with their clothes and beauty. Bold of them to think they can seduce Jaemin with apparels when her gown is hand-picked by Jaemin himself.

❝We invite the charming crown princess and the most powerful witch of Orett, Min Y/N!❞ the announcer introduces you to the crowd. You almost want to snort at the introduction. Everyone here knows you. Jaemin is waiting for you at the end of the stairs as you descend.

You almost want to roll your eyes at him. He can't be anymore obvious. It's a tradition for the Na dynasty to wear blue for balls held in search of eligible brides for the princes and he's wearing a crimson red suit the exact same color as her, extraordinarily bewitching everyone.

His smile, for the love of God, is blinding as he extends his arm for you to take. It doesn't surprise anyone because you are the chosen one whether he likes you or not, as a matter of fact, he loves you and you, him but they don't have to know that. It's a marriage of power for them, a benefit, an advantage that'll protect their kingdom and destroy yours.

His smile never fades when you are around, and he pulls you close the second your fingers intertwine with his. The piano's soft melodic tune starts when his arm encloses your waist, ❝Is everyone here?❞ you ask, and he nods with his picture perfect smile, as he twirls you around the ball room, then pull you close to let his lips meet yours and you didn't want to push him away this time. His palm never leaves your waist and his lips, yours every now and then. It's too possessive and a borderline threat to the other princes and eligible bachelors of the kingdom. He's claiming you, and saying you like it, would be an understatement, ❝You won't be here after the song is over, right❞ you nod, ❝maybe a few minutes❞ your words come out as whispers.

The melody fades into nothing, the last key of piano barely audible. He goes down on his knee, and his butler brings a beautiful ruby ring, ❝I, the youngest prince of Axton, request you to accept my proposal of marriage❞ ah. The formal line you hate. If it wasn't for the ball room, Jaemin would have made it exceptionally romantic, and you would be a fool to hate it.

❝I, the crown princess of Orett, deny the proposal of marriage by the crown prince of Axton❞ you step back, rejecting him felt like piercing your heart with a blunt knife, torturous and painful but you had to. He rises to his feet, emotionless and cold.

❝My decision is to remind everyone that the princesses of Orett will never marry for power or for anything other than love❞ you bow with a smile. Jaemin still has that smile, empty and pained. Of course, he knew that you were going to reject him in front of everyone. It doesn't come off as a shock to him, but it still hurts him, knowing that you would never take him as your husband for the sake of power, even if you love each other.

The entire ballroom is still and static. You take a step towards him, taking his arm and placing it over the pendant you gave. He looks confused when you smile so sweetly.

The lights of the entire palace go out one by one. The crowd that had been unmoving erupts back to life with loud, incoherent words muttered. Silver dust floats around the room from her fingers, engulfing the people, and she snaps. Each speck of silver bursts into beautiful stars, creating a glamorous explosion, falling on everyone, and the mutters lower down to silence. One would say it's because of awe, but truly it's because of your power, erasing the memories of you, about your presence in the ball, about your power from everyone's brain, everyone except Jaemin. You want him to remember you and everything about you.

And you vanish, retracting the silver stars and circling them around you, to create an even more beautiful explosion of fireworks and take everyone out of their trance.

Jaemin stands frozen, the shield around him fading away slowly, and his fingers curl around the pendant tightly. He excuses himself, not in the mind to stay in the ball anymore.

The garden of his cold, freezing almost but couldn't bring himself to care. He's shed his coat in his chamber, now in his silk white shirt with few buttons undone and black pants and fingers still around the pendant. Tears are still fresh in his eyes, hand gripping the railing, ❝Why, Y/N? I would have done anything to protect you and your kingdom❞

❝Even if it's fighting against my own blood❞ he wipes off the unshed tears. Looking into the ceiling, he blinks back the tears. It's hurt even more when he cries.

❝Why won't you trust me?❞ the silver stars dance around his pendant, filling the up the garden, and spread to the entrance, conjuring up a figure. He doesn't notice it, too engrossed in his monologue. You stand at the entrance, still your gown and glowing in the silver streaks of moonlight, ❝Jaemin❞ it's a whisper, barely, but his head snaps to the entrance in a second.

You run, the silvers in your dress sparkling and hair flowing in the air as she lunge into his open arms, ❝Jaeminㅡ❞ your lips are softly attacked by his, the longing and love so apparent that you can feel it. You pull away, pressing a finger to his lips, ❝I promise you eternity, Jaemin❞ you smile with tears in your eyes.

❝Since I have your heart, you shall have mine for eternity❞

stay where you are (i'll come back to you)

Pairing: Renjun x fem!reader (ft. donghyeok)

Synopsis: You wished he had told you sooner - maybe then, it would've been a little easier to let go. Maybe then, you would've stayed instead of going.

Genre: Fluff, smidgen of angst at the end, farm!au, farmer!renjun, songwriter!reader, implied childhood friends, mutual pining, other best friend!donghyeok

Warnings: Mentions of throwing rocks at Jungwoo (i'm sorry my dude 😅)

WC: ~900

A/N: It's 3AM and I don't know what I'm doing (do I ever?) but here's a first shot at stepping out my comfort zone of SVT before the year ends 😳 Didn't tag my usual crew so y'all aren't spammed with non-SVT content. Scene inspired by this moment in AIB season 2 and the demo of Graduation. Title inspired by Closer by RM ft. Paul Blanco. We'll see where this goes - maybe my only NCT piece, maybe not ._. I'm kinda embarrassed so gonna go hide now lolol.

Your fingers flowed across the last few keys of your grandfather’s piano, your voice following in suit, its pitch rising with the notes. The old wooden thing had been pushed up against the faded white and pink floral wallpaper of your family’s living room as long as Renjun could remember. Its corners were chipped, the yellow surface was faded and worn, similar to the stained keys from various accidents over the years. The lower G key was colored with red Sharpie, fingerprints stamped into the ink – Renjun only remembered because he solely got in trouble for it after Donghyeok dared him.

So if you take up all your chances, use mine.

If you’ll be there for the rest of my life.

You paused after finishing the last part, your fingertips settling on the white keys. The last few notes of your song hung in the air between you and him, only the sound of crickets chirping and the light tinkle of the wind chime on your porch filling the air. The soft yellow light from the lamp on the side tables casted a pretty glow on your skin, making you look almost . . . ethereal. It very well could’ve been the sweat from the humidity of the day, but Renjun liked to think it was shadows and luminescence highlighted the best features of your face. The smile on your face was the finishing touch – it was something between being pleased, but shy; satisfied with what you’ve written, but scared that you’ve finally revealed it to the world (well, Renjun).

Typically, you were bold and rowdy – it’s why you and Donghyeok got along so well. You weren’t afraid to stand up for those you loved and your values, despite hundreds of people being against you. Renjun remembered when the three of you were twelve and you told off Jungwoo for picking on Donghyeok – you threw a couple rocks too.

It was because of that, moments like this were all the more precious and beautiful. You were beautiful. You weren’t loud or throwing rocks at someone. Your mouth wasn’t running nor were you bantering with Donghyeok again. It was a side of you Renjun only saw on the rare occasion; the occasion being whenever you share your music with him. This side of you was quiet and vulnerable, but your voice in combination with the piano spoke volumes. Despite being lost in your thoughts and your emotions, you seemed happy and at peace. None of it took away from your usual valor.

It was just . . . different.

And pretty.

Your eyes diverted from the piano, flickering to the side to look at your best friend. Tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, you shrugged timidly, followed by a soft chortle.

“How was it?” you asked.

Renjun smiled, his lips pressing into a thin line, then growing into a small toothy grin. Before he could catch himself, he blurted, “You're pretty.”

“Huh?” your breath hitched.

He looked away, the smile falling from his face. Renjun blinked owlishly a few times before turning back to you. He did not just tell you that.

It’s not that you weren’t pretty – you just weren’t supposed to know he thought that about you.

At least . . . not yet.

“It was pretty,” Renjun chuckled nervously. He pointed at the piano. “Y-your song.”

You let out a small breath, clearing away the racing thoughts in your mind. “Really?”

“Truly.”

“You think it’s like . . . MS Entertainment tier pretty?” you chortled. “For the songwriting competition?”

“I . . . don’t see why not,” Renjun replied, he pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose. “I think . . . it’s my favorite. Nostalgic – makes me warm inside.”

You let out a breath of relief, nodding. You dropped your gaze to your fingers in your lap, curling around nothing, your nails grazing across your jeans. It was your favorite piece to date – if it’s Renjun’s favorite too, there was a chance right? You’d have to ask Donghyeok to listen to it too later.

Renjun’s not sure what took over him, but he took in a sharp breath and willed himself to look you in the eye.

“But . . . uh,” he rubbed the back of his neck, “You are pretty.”

Your expression softened, eyes wide and shrinking away from him a little. Heat was already spreading across your cheeks, your lips held agape like goldfish.

“You look the prettiest now,” he said more confidently. Perhaps you were dreaming, but you could’ve sworn there was a glint of tenderness in his eyes. It was different from the moments when he did look at you when he was happy to see you after a long day in the fields.

“You’re prettiest when you let go . . . prettiest when you sing.”

“Renjun,” you said softly.

He smiled. “I hope to see it more often.”

Though his comment made your heart flutter, there was a small sense of guilt that came with it.

Pursuing your dreams of songwriting meant leaving the farm.

Leaving the farm meant leaving your family.

Donghyeok.

Renjun.

You weren’t sure if you were ready for that.

At least . . . not yet.

You wondered if he knew what he was wishing for when he told you.
