Meet Again ☽ Zhong Chenle

10

Counting downs the days left, only 5 til they have to go back to Korea. New York being the last stop, they spent a little extra time here.

Of course Chenle was upset. He knew he couldn't stay here forever. His life is in Korea and couldn't move his job to New York. He had to admit, he did like Aera. He was sure she did too. So being Chenle, he needed to have as much time as possible to spend with Aera.

Today, Dreams schedule was going to Beats 1. It was an Apple radio station that NCT 127 went to, and now NCT Dream is going as well.

"Here at Beats 1, we have another kpop group. Are we ready to hear the new group?!" The host asked into the mic while playing a screaming sound effect. "Hi, we are NCT Dream!" Mark lead as the rest followed. "So how's it been in New York? Did you see anything fun or new that you don't see in Korea?"

"Well actually I learned that pigeons here fly away from us while in Korea, they just stick next to you." Mark mentioned.

"Really? I think pigeons are scared of us here yet I'm still the one scared of them." The host said as Mark laughed and the others laughed too just to play along. Continuing on to the next question about their recent performance at their concert. "I think the concert was really fun. We met a lot of fans." Renjun added with his english knowledge.

"Oh right! You guys sold out here at Prudential Center! Congrats guys! How does it feel to be sold out?" The host mentioned, all the tickets were bought for the concert and there was no seats empty.
"It was very nice. Thank you czennies for this!" Haechan spoke and looked very sexy while doing so.

"So let's look at some questions from your fans on Twitter. Ah the most asked, are you guys dating at the moment?" The host asked, everyone would like to know. All the members faced Chenle and watched him while he answered. "No, all of us are single." Chenle said calmly as the host didn't believe. "You all are hot and good looking. It won't be too hard to find yourself a partner." The host made everyone laugh. The host continued to ask questions for about five more minutes until their session ended. "Well alright, I guess this is it. Bye NCT Dream and let's hear their new album 'Candy' which is currently online in most platforms to purchase! "

Chenle felt the heat rise up to his face. He did like Aera but how could you tell the whole world your dating especially as a Kpop idol, he'll get so much hate and lose fans quickly.

They quickly rushed back to the car, the schedule was bright and early at 9 AM, they weren't ready for this. Most of the members slept on the way back to the hotel. Chenle on the other hand was focused on his phone.

Aera 💚

you busy today?

nah, don't think so

could we hang out? ( ◠‿◠ )

yeah sure, i'm done with classes around 1
could you come to my university and wait for me there?

i think so?
i'll ask my manager to drive me there
it's NYU right ?

yup!
be safe
i'll see you soon <3

That little heart at the end Aera added, made Chenle's heart pound harder.

"Am I really falling in love with a girl I just met?" Chenle questioned himself. This was unusable for anyone, but he did believe in soulmates. Maybe Aera was his soulmate and he finally met her now after being single for years.

"HYUNG!" Chenle called his manager. "Chenle what's up?" The manager asked as he was scrolling through his phone lying down on the bed.

"Could you perhaps drive me somewhere?" Chenle asked. "Hm, sure I guess. You going alone or the members coming too?"

Chenle didn't wanna say it was with Aera or they would tease him even more, "Uhh, alone? I haven't asked the members but I doubt they would wanna come." Chenle answered nervously, praying the manager won't ask the others.

"I'll go ask them," The manager called the others into the room while Chenle facepalmed.

"Guys, Chenle's gonna go somewhere in the city. You guys wanna go with?" The manager asked as Chenle was behind him shaking his head and trying to make eye contact with them. They saw him desperately trying to make them say no and they were nice and said the answer Chenle wanted to hear, "Nah, it's cool. Let Chenle explore New York." Mark replied as the others agreed and nodded their head. "Thank you!" Chenle mouthed and his hands turned into fists while jumping quietly in joy.

"Alrighty then, when should we go out?" The manager asked as Chenle looked at the clock, "12:30 would be good I suppose."
