Meet Again ☽ Zhong Chenle

"I can't believe we have to go back!" Haechan whined as he patted his baby tummy. New York just gave the members an excuse to eat more as there wasn't much American food in Korea. "We'll come back again, maybe next year." The manager suggested. He knew that New York brought so much joy to the members.

"You guys still have a few hours left before we go to the airport, go do your most favorite thing so you won't regret it." The manager advised.

"YAAA GUYS! Let's go to the carnival again! Chenle asks Aera if there's any!" Jaemin begged Chenle. The other members agreed and kept on pestering Chenle to ask her. "Shut up!" Chenle yelled back at them before dialing Aera. "I swear to god when we go back to Korea, I'm exposing all of you again in my bubble."

"Hey!" Aera answered as a bright smile lit her face when Chenle's name appeared on her phone. "Hey! The guys wanted to know if you're down to hang out today?" He asked while the other members were looking at him about to laugh and explode. "Actually I am, where do they wanna go? Actually guys, where do you wanna go, I can hear you laugh, Mark." Aera was laughing, she found it so weird she heard that much silence until she heard a giggle.

"Do you know if there's a carnival happening?" Jaemin questioned. "Uhh maybe? I mean we can always go to Coney Island or Astoria but I think Astoria is closer for sure." Aera didn't know what she expected after saying this but all she heard was screaming.

"Great we'll pick you up around 3!" Chenle ended the call and the guys were already back to their rooms getting dressed. "Since when did they care what they wear?" He thought.

At the fair, they were partnered up again. This time, of course, Aera was most wanted and Chenle was the last to have her. The group really enjoyed their time as it was their last day. They never expected to have this much fun and they had to thank Aera for bringing them around.

"Okay last stop, let's go to the fortune teller booth!" Renjun mentioned. "You believe that shit?" Haechan asked. "You don't even believe aliens, don't even try talking to me."

"Let's just go!" Aera decided to stop their childish argument. The group went along to the booth and every person got their fortunes told but Chenle thought of a brilliant idea.

"Hey Aera, help me guess my fortune!" Aera laughed, "Since when? I never learned this?" She asked. "I'll help you!"

"So just make me close my eyes and ask me what I see, okay?" Aera shrugged, this much be some dumb tricks the guys taught him. They were just watching the two, no idea what was going on in his brain.

"So Chenle, what do you see?"

"Nothing"

"Yeah obviously that's because your eyes are clo-"

"That's my life without you"

"Wha!!" The guys were in shock, Chenle didn't even tell them his plan of doing this. "Dude really flirted with her in front of us?!" Jeno yelled. "My innocence" Jisung yelled back.

Aera laughed, still couldn't believe she was hearing the right thing. Chenle smiled, literally praying his members wouldn't tease him that badly.

"It was a good pickup line, I'll admit it." She still found it amusing that he just straight up said this and in such a cringe way especially right in front of the guys who will tease him to death.

After the nonstop teasing and laughter, they soon went to find a Korean barbecue restaurant. "I'm starving!!" Haechan whined. "You always are, that's why there's baby tummy." Jeno smiled, those eye smiles are the ones Haechan will kill.

Chenle held Aera's hand, "You know what today is right?" He asked. She dropped her chopsticks, "I'll miss you, and the guys." She smiled, a painful one.
