Park Jisung had a small problem. No, it was big problem for him. He couldn't tell his sister about his problem because he knew what she would say. She wasn't the type to understand where he was coming from so instead, he stood in front of his partner and best friend, pacing back and forth.
"They are going to send Smiley to Australia!" Jisung said for the nth time and Chenle nodded.
Chenle never judged him. Chenle was never that way. Chenle understood very clearly what Jisung was going through. NCT Center had gotten a new batch of mature kupas so they were sending all the kupas back to Australia to train them until they could be played in national games.
But Jisung was attached to this particular kupa and he refused to let them go. The staff told him that all kupas were the same but that was not true. Jisung could not let Smiley go.
"What to do, Chenle?" he cried, Chenle reaching over to pat Jisung on the shoulder. "They are going to send them away today."
Chenle, the little troublemaker, always had something up his sleeve. He knew that if Smiley were to be taken away, Jisung wouldn't shut up about it. Both of them, being partners, were accountable for each other's success. If Jisung could not play, Chenle would face the possibility of both of them going back down to Grandmaster.
They just got into EPIC I.
So Chenle suggested the riskiest (but not impossible) thing to do and that was to steal Smiley away from the creature cage. They would keep Smiley with Jisung. No one would know! Jisung can hide Smiley in the dorms and if they snuck around enough, everything would be fine. Jisung would be able to keep Smiley as a pet and train with another kupa.
"So... we go to the creature cage and take Smiley before they send them away?" Jisung asked, Chenle nodding. He was adamant it'd work. Why wouldn't it? It was an in and out mission. Jisung had no idea what he'd do after he stole Smiley back but he'd cross that bridge once he gets there.
Jisung and Chenle made their way over to the creature cage, their eyes skating over the area for any potential threats that may stop them from the rescue mission of Smiley. The only person they saw was Jung Jaehyun, the male throwing up worms for Fred. He always had a soft spot for the creatures and Jisung studied his sister's partner before he and Chenle slipped deeper into the creature cage.
Jaehyun thought he had seen a shadow cast in the entrance but he guessed he was wrong, the male throwing up a bucket of worms as he began to climb Fred. There was a rustle from the minions before he reached Fred's shoulder and checked his phone.
Nabi: The Scouters are here for the young grandmasters Nabi: Will call you after I'm done
Jung Jaehyun smiled, sending her a thumbs up before pocketing back his phone. Jaehyun bit down on his lower lip, leaning against Fred's warm body as he thought of Nabi. She was so predictable and he was... him. How she handled him was beyond him. They were getting closer by second, Jaehyun trying to wiggle his way through to her heart.
