Sorry for any gramatical errors! English is not my main language and it's been years since I last wrote something, but this little idea was living in my mind rent free and I had to put it out! ㅠㅠ

Inspired by this tweet.

Chapter 1: relay

Chapter Text

Jungwoo shifts on the bed in his dim room. Tomorrow is the recording of his first relay cam for the NCT Youtube channel and he's feeling pretty anxious. What if he is too boring? He tried to think about what to show to the fans but there is nothing too exciting, he just likes to play games and chill. Jaehyun already showed his (now their) room on the first relay cam and there wasn't much change to the space since then even with the younger's arrival. Earlier he asked Yuta for ideas and discovered his hyung is planning to draw on his time slot, and sadly Jungwoo is not skilled for that. He also watched all previous relay cams done by his bandmates but this time it was different since they couldn't go outside, so he was limited to the options he had at home and there wasn't much. At least he'll be with Mark and that helps a lot to ease his nerves, but he's still restless.

 

Jaehyun enters the room in his pajamas, hair still slightly damp after the shower and encounters a fidgeting Jungwoo laying there under the soft light of the mood lamp. He has an idea of the reason for that but asks anyway.

 

"What's wrong, Jungwoo?", he says while walking to the younger's bed and sits on the edge putting a hand over the other's knee, giving it a light squeeze.

 

"I don't know what to do for the relay cam... I don't have any hobbies to show. I do nothing on free days! People will think I'm boring", he replies with a pout.

 

Jaehyun shakes his head and replies softly. "Well, that's the point of relay cams. To show our regular day to day. Don't worry too much about that, I ate an apple and put moisturizer on mine", he laughed briefly.

 

That made Jungwoo crack a smile. "Yeah, but you are Jung Jaehyun."

 

"And you are Kim Jungwoo. Just be yourself, ok?"

 

Jungwoo sighed, still not convinced. Jaehyun suddenly had an idea and got up, leaving the room for a minute or two and returning with a black t-shirt he retrieved from their outside "closet". Jungwoo was curious since the elder was already wearing his sleep t-shirt and sat up on the mattress when Jaehyun sat beside him, offering the piece of clothing he was holding.

 

Jungwoo was confused but took the shirt.

 

"This is the t-shirt I wore on my past relay cam. Maybe it can give you some confidence tomorrow", he replied with a sweet look on his eyes. If he could he would be there with Jungwoo, but he had an early schedule and was supposed to be home just before his own time slot at night.

 

Jungwoo always wonders how Jaehyun can differentiate his plain black t-shirts but this thought was quickly overridden with the warmth of the gesture. His fingers caressed the fabric as if it was a treasure and carefully folded the piece, putting it over the computer table beside his bed. "Thank you, hyung", he said with a soft voice before placing a kiss on his hyung's cheek. "I'll wear it for sure."

 

"Hope it helps", Jaehyun grinned, dimples showing and he could feel the redness taking over his ears. He was ready to get up but Jungwoo held him by the wrist with pleading eyes. "Everything ok?"

 

"Can you sleep here?", he asked. Actually it was not a weird request since Jaehyun frequently did that, mainly when Jungwoo insists on watching scary movies and is too afraid to sleep alone or when he is nervous due to an event the next day. Jaehyun's presence was just really calming to him and he did not know how to explain that.

 

"Sure", he said with a smile before laying on the bed beside Jungwoo and covering both bodies with the blanket. The younger was comfortably pressed against his chest and Jaehyun circled an arm to Jungwoo's back, his hand slowly making circular patterns on the area as a soothing gesture. "Good night, Jungwoo", he said, placing a kiss on the top of the dark haired head.

 

"Good night, hyung", Jungwoo whispers.

 

It didn't take long for both of them to fall asleep.

Jungwoo woke up the next day with the sound of his alarm and lazily reached for the mobile to turn it off. He noticed he was alone now and was a little sad when he remembered Jaehyun had a schedule that day due to the drama. It was already 12:00 so he got up and looked fondly at the t-shirt folded on the table, quickly changing his current one with Jaehyun's. It was kinda big on him, leaving his collarbones somewhat exposed but it was nice and smelled like Jaehyun, the scent being very comforting. After making his bed, Jungwoo went to the bathroom for his morning routine and went to Mark's room afterwards.

 

And weirdly, he was not nervous anymore.
