Harbinger | NCT Doyoung

two

Doyoung sighed as he felt the day was going by slowly. All of his classes today seemed to drain his energy.

It didn't help that he was also a model under his family's company, the KDY Modeling Agency. Funny how their company was named after their son.

Doyoung went to the cafeteria settling down at his usual table with Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Jungwoo, and Mark, eating lunch.

"Where's Winwin?" Yuta asked as he scanned the cafeteria.

"He's probably with Lanying somewhere, I'm sure they'll come by later." Taeyong replied as he took out his dried potato snack bag.

"Do you know where Jaehyun is at? I haven't seen him all day today. Basketball season is coming up and I wanna talk about the details with our captain." Johnny asked, drinking his coffee.

"Johnny hyung, he's probably with his sister doing who knows what. Those two are always rowdy, especially his sister." Jungwoo shrugged innocently.

"Jungwoo that sounded so wrong!" Mark slapped his own thigh.

"Dude...what are you thinking?" Johnny looked at Mark with a judging look.

Doyoung internally smiled at the environment he was in, ignoring the fact that Johnny and Jungwoo mentioned Chaewon.

Boys.

Doyoung's final lecture ended as he gathered his belongings, preparing to walk out of the school as he was met with Jaehyun waiting outside for him, scrolling through his phone.

Doyoung walked up to Jaehyun as Jaehyun looked up at his friend and placed his phone in his pocket.

"What's up, Jaehyun." Doyoung leaned against the lockers with his backpack slung over.

"I need a favor." Jaehyun replied as he let out a smirk. "I need you to be my sister's fake boyfriend."

"Excuse me? Did I hear that right? To be Chaewon's fake boyfriend." Doyoung scoffed at his friend. "You know her and I don't have a great history together. Why can't you ask the other guys?"

"All of them are in the basketball team so she'll have to keep up a reputation, you know how tiring that could be. Taeil graduated so that's also suspicious. Haechan is still in high school. You just happen to be the only one left." Jaehyun explained.

Doyoung never had a keen for sports but also he had a modeling gig from time to time so he couldn't join. He was glad that the boys stayed loyal to him, despite having different schedules. Doyoung would also show up to all basketball games just to support his best friends.

"What about Lanying and Winwin? They're the ones having a reputation with Winwin in the basketball team." Doyoung made a point.

"Do you really think Yeonghwa loved my sister? Listen, I'm sure I could beat him up right now and he'll admit that he wanted to date Chaewon to be popular. Look at him being all over Heejin, one of the biggest cheerleaders in our university." Jaehyun replied. "Come on Doyoung. Do it for me please?"

"Jaehyun, you know Chaewon and I are sworn enemies and-" Doyoung tried to explain without getting angry.

"It's also about time you two should get along, whether you guys like it or not. Whatever I'm saying to you will also go to Chaewon so you shouldn't worry too much." Jaehyun smiled at him.

"I hope so, because all she does is texts me to meet up to pick classes so we don't get the same classes together." Doyoung rolled his eyes.

"I don't know how you both ended up picking Finance." Jaehyun chuckled, switching back to the subject. "Anyways, I think it's a good time to clear some misunderstandings from you two. I don't know what's up with those past couple of years, but you two are grown adults."

Doyoung mentally rolled his eyes at Jaehyun's last sentence. He was technically right, but he knew Chaewon was the one who starts all the trouble, knowing that Jaehyun acknowledges it too. Jaehyun even can't help with his own sister's behavior sometimes and just tells Doyoung to 'let her be.'

Doyoung then thought about the fake dating idea for a second, sighing at Jaehyun's request. He knew he had no way out of it and Jaehyun did do a lot of favors for him back then.

It was time for Doyoung to be a good friend and reciprocate the favors back.

"Fine. Only because you're my friend Jaehyun. But I also can't guarantee that Chaewon and I will get along through this fake dating."

"YOU WHAT?" Chaewon screamed at her brother as they were having dinner at their shared apartment. "Of all people Jaehyun, you decided to pick the Kim Doyoung?! Do you know how much I fucking hate that guy?! God Jaehyun what is wrong with you?!"

"Clearly what I told you earlier today about you being jealous of him was correct." Jaehyun smirked.

"I can't believe Doyoung even agreed to this. What was he thinking?!" Chaewon raised her voice.

"Actually, I was the one who convinced my way out of him. Don't blame him. He's just returning the favor on the many things I do for him." Jaehyun winked.

"Why couldn't you pick someone else from the team? I would've loved to do it with anyone else, but Doyoung." Chaewon sighed.

"Look, we all love you, but we don't love you that much. Also, people would just think you're hopping around. Think about it sis." Jaehyun explained. "I think Doyoung is a completely nice guy. Just not that experienced with relationships."

"Yeah because he never had one. No wonder. Lonely ass." Chaewon scoffed.

"Chaewon." Jaehyun's tone dropped an octave lower.

Chaewon became smaller as she slumped into her chair as she didn't want to encounter a scary Jaehyun. She knew if he was at his scariest, she'll run into the room and cry.

"Tell me you can get in a relationship someone within the next 3 days." Jaehyun looked at his sister who was trying to come up with a response, but she closed her mouth, looking down at the table. "Thought so."

"Do I even have a fucking choice Jaehyun?" Chaewon's tone has grown softer as she was hoping to get her way out of it.

"No, you don't. It's about time you two should get along like grown adults. You know I'm not breaking my friendship with that guy and so the rest of the boys. Lanying too. You're at a loss sis."

"I hate my life." Chaewon slammed her head on the table.

"It's honestly the only way if you want to get over Yeonghwa quickly, especially since he has a cheerleader girlfriend now." Jaehyun smirked, attempting to tease his sister. "What's her name again? Is it Choi Hee-"

"Shut up, Jaehyun. I get it." Chaewon stood up from from her chair, away from the dining table. "You're on dishes today."

"You didn't give me a solid answer whether or not you are doing the fake dating." Jaehyun spoke up as Chaewon turned around and stood at a position.

"You didn't propose the idea, Lanying did." Chaewon sternly told her brother.

"But she's talking to me about it since she knows that I can convince you better than her." Jaehyun responded. "Come on now."

Chaewon balled her hands into fists as she wanted to punch her brother in the face, but clearly she knew he would do something that would make her look small in the end.

"I'll do it. I'll fake date Kim Doyoung."
