"Teach me."

Donghyuck flinched at Choi Daera's high voice and stared at the same aged girl that was hovering above him, her hands folded in front of her chest, the skirt of her school uniform not even ironed properly. "What?" He asked, not sure if he heard correctly. He stood up and Daera watched him with sparkling eyes. "T-Teach me." She whispered and Donghyuck looked around.

The other members were drinking water, drying themselves with towels or just sitting or lying on the floor. But he was sitting by the window, fixing his loose white shirt, when Daera had poked his shoulder.

Only a week ago, the niece of their Manager had thrown her bag pack at him for stealing her Seulgi slogan. And before that, Donghyuck had insulted Daera of being chubby. Oh, and there was the day he said she should stop hanging out in the lobby, she won't meet Kang Seulgi like that.

They weren't actually on good terms. But today something in Daera snapped.

She came home from school, finding a note of her Uncle telling her to come to SM once again as her parents would be late tonight as well. Ari had promised her she could do her homework. But once Daera arrived she walked into the practice room where the NCT Dream members were just getting ready to record their dance practice for their song <GO>.

Daera had seen the choreography so many times by now. But today something was different. 

The boys didn't wear their usual training gear. They were dressed nicely in clean shirts and pants and their hair was freshly washed. They also had some light BB cream on their faces. When Daera walked into the room she was surprised. Even the practice room was tidy and didn't smell like sweat for once.

When she sat down next to her uncle, he told her she had to be completely quiet now. And so did Daera. She thought she would see the usual dance routine for <GO>. But she ended up, being star struck and amazed.

The boys seemed much more serious than the times she saw them dancing before. And Daera had caught herself staring at one member particularly. Her eyes went to Lee Donghyuck as soon as he marched forward and started dancing.

She usually always bickered with him but when he danced the choreography and send looks to the camera, Daera realized that he wasn't just a troublemaker. He was a hardworking young Idol and she smiled when she saw him doing the dance moves with perfection.

Also, the amount of tummy flashes Donghyuck had while dancing, were making Daera's heart beat faster. She was mainly interested in Red Velvet, but she was still a teenage girl in her puberty so seeing Lee Donghyuck's tanned skin and the waistband of his blue boxers were making her blush.

Daera knew she was completely whipped by Donghyuck when came walking from the back and his hair was messy and showed his forehead. Daera watched him intently, biting her lip and tilting her head, trying to catch a better glimpse of the boy.

MC Ari, who was sitting beside her, watched his niece with a funny expression on his face. "What are you doing?" He whispered and Daera flinched and blushed, trying to hide the fact that she was staring at Donghyuck like that. "I-I'm watching the dance." Daera lied and averted her gaze from Donghyuck to Chenle who was currently doing his thing in the front.

Ari, who knew his niece was speaking rubbish, shook his head and leaned back, watching NCT Dream finish their dance.

Once the shooting of the Dance Practice was done, everyone was applauding the boys for doing such good jobs and the boys laid down on the floor to catch their breath. Daera watched the shooting crew carry away their equipment before her eyes went to Donghyuck, who was sitting by the window, catching his breath and fixing his shirt.

She quickly stood up and walked through the practice room and poked his shoulder.

After telling him, that she wanted him to teach her the dance he stood up and looked at her confused. "What do you want to learn, Daera?" - "The part where y'all shuffle! You- That looked great!" Daera smiled and tried to concentrate on Donghyuck's face and not on his shirt, that was exposing his collar bones.

"You want to learn the Shuffle?" Donghyuck asked and Daera nodded, grabbing his black zip hoodie and pulling it down in the process. Daera blushed and watched the fabric slide off his shoulder, pulling the loose shirt with it, exposing more of Donghyuck's chest.

The Idol and the Student both stared in shock at the scene in front of them.

Donghyuck tried to cover his chest, while Daera let go of the hoodie and stepped back, her ears red as a tomato. "I-I'm so sorry!" She wheezed and turned around, hiding her embarrassment behind her hands, running out of the practice room.

Her heart was beating in her chest and she couldn't forget the look on his face. She knelt down next to the door and hid her face behind her knees. She was so stupid, embarrassing him like that.

Donghyuck stared at the door, that Daera just left before he pulled his shirt back up to his shoulders and caught Renjun's eyes, who apparently had watched the whole scene. Donghyuck looked from one side to another before looking back at Renjun who had cocked his eyebrow by now. 

"Go after her." The Chinese lad then said and Donghyuck looked to their manager, who thankfully didn't see what happened as he was typing down on his phone. Donghyuck sighed and nodded walking towards the door of the practice room. He pushed the doorknob down and opened the door finding Daera still sitting on the floor, her eyes fixed on the group of people that were coming her way from the other side of the corridor.

"Ya, Daera!" Donghyuck spoke but Daera was too surprised to answer when she saw Red Velvet walking past her, dressed in practice gear. Daera's mouth was open and she stared at Seulgi in pure adoration. Donghyuck smiled, knowing how he could break the embarrassing tension between him and Daera.

"Seulgi-noona!" Donghyuck called and the female Idol stopped walking and turned around to look at Donghyuck. Latter smiled and looked down at Daera. "Stand up." He mouthed and Daera jumped up, stumbling over to Donghyuck and holding onto his zip hoodie. Her heart beating even faster than before.

"What is it, Donghyuckie?"
