Harbinger | NCT Doyoung

five

Chaewon got to the cafeteria, sitting at her usual table and settling down to eat her meal.

"Where's Doyoung?" Taeyong asked scratching his head.

"Pissed me off." Chaewon rolled her eyes as she took out her food from her lunch box and began eating.

"Why?" Lanying tilted her head looking at Chaewon's unreadable emotion. "What happened?"

"We were talking and then I said something about Jaehyun pushes my buttons and then he said he's trying to not push my buttons-" Chaewon explained as Mark spoke up.

"Hold up Chaewon noona." Mark held up his arms as his ears were trying to deceive him. "I think Doyoung hyung is actually trying to nice to you."

"How would you know that?" Chaewon looked at Mark.

"He didn't fight back or start to make you angry this time. You just made yourself angry Chaewon noona because you're so used to Doyoung hyung making you mad." Mark explained and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Maybe try talking to him again nicely and see how he reacts. You're a little too mean to him noona." Jungwoo added.

"And I do push your buttons." Jaehyun winked.

"Jaehyun! This is serious." Winwin pouted as Lanying pinched his cheeks.

"Try apologizing to him too, it might be a start of an actual friendship through this contract. " Taeyong added whispering the last part.

"Not my problem." Johnny shrugged wrapping his arm around Jaehyun. "But we still need to get you kiddos to go to the football game together so I agree with everyone except you Chaewon."

"Fine." Chaewon rolled her eyes. "I'll apologize to him..."

"Also, you're going home with Doyoung from now on, just so you two can have bonding time and to show everyone-" Jaehyun continued speaking as Chaewon groaned.

"Yes Jaehyun, I understand you. Doyoung is my boyfriend." Chaewon sarcastically told him.

"Yes and now please go find your boyfriend." Jaehyun snickered watching the pissed reaction of his sister.

"Screw you Jaehyun." Chaewon got up from packing her belongings after finishing her meal and out of the cafeteria, leaving her friends.

"Is Haechan coming to the game this weekend?" Taeyong asked the group.

"Renjun asked me about it so I'll probably have to let him go since he's my brother." Lanying responded to Taeyong's question.

"We also should invite Taeil hyung. I miss him." Winwin added.

"You saw him a few weeks ago, what about me?" Yuta leaned against Winwin's shoulder.

"I see you everyday, I don't miss you that much Yuta hyung." Winwin couldn't hold his laughter as everyone else at the table started laughing at Winwin's small remarks to Yuta.

"You never change Winwin."

Chaewon walked around the empty hallway hoping to find Doyoung at the specific location.

The library

Chaewon stepped into the library, walking around to see if she can find the man. Luckily for her through this enormous library, she sees him taking some notes down from his laptop by himself.

She approached his table, pulling the chair back and settling down on the table. Doyoung acknowledged her from his peripheral vision, but he continued to take his notes.

"Hi." Chaewon spoke up, making sure to use her inside voices.

Doyoung placed his pen down, looking up towards Chaewon to give her his full, undivided attention. "Do you need something, Chaewon?"

"I'm sorry." Chaewon looked down, fiddling her fingers.

Doyoung saw how nervous she was as she made the apology to him, but it was shocking enough towards him that she's apologizing for her actions. He continued to look at her to see if she would speak again.

"I'm sorry for being mean all of the sudden and... being to sensitive over a joke. I just thought-" Chaewon continued to fiddle with her fingers as Doyoung spoke up.

"If you want to keep this contract alive, then we have to work together, meaning we need to start getting along whether or not we like it. Do you know in business, we are going to end up working with people we don't like? We have to start now." Doyoung explained the truth to her as he looked at Chaewon who was still looking down.

"Jung Chaewon, look up at me straight in the eye." Doyoung commanded, obviously using his library voice as he waited for her to look up at him.

Chaewon tilted her head up looking at Doyoung.

"Did you hear what I said?" Doyoung asked the question.

Chaewon quickly nodded as her lips pouted, unable to process any words out of her mouth.

"So are we going to get along now and stop fighting?" Doyoung asked another question.

Chaewon took a sharp breath, thinking on all the occasions she and Doyoung fought. It really never had a root aside from her competitiveness to win in general, thinking she got the trait from Jaehyun.

"I'll do my best to get along, but it's going to be a rough start." Chaewon chose her words carefully looking at Doyoung as he showed a slight smile, going back to taking his notes.

Watching him smile made Chaewon smile too as the bell interrupted their small moment. Chaewon got up from her seat, pushing the chair inside the table and preparing to go to her next class.

Chaewon noticed that Doyoung was unfazed, continuing to take his notes.

"Aren't you going to class?" Chaewon tilted her head.

"I don't have anymore classes for today." Doyoung responded, eyes still on the laptop and hands moving.

"Then I'll just skip my class then..." Chaewon was about to pull on the chair until Doyoung spoke up again.

"Just go to class Chaewon." Doyoung sternly told her. "It's not good to skip classes."

"But..." Chaewon tried to come up with an explanation.

"Just go, I'll take you home after class okay?" Doyoung looked up at her with the eyes of concern. stopping his note taking.

Chaewon couldn't resist his actions as she closed her eyes slowly and opened back up again.

"Okay."

Chaewon then left the boy alone making her way out of the library and walking to class alone.

Just like that.

Chaewon was getting bored of her final lecture as time passed by so slowly. The professor dismissed her class after the lecture ended with the girl almost falling asleep.

Chaewon got her belongings and darted out of the class to see Doyoung waiting for her. She walked up to him as the two were going out of the school building together.

She then locked her hands with Doyoung as he did the same to keep the fake dating contract going.

"What's the game plan for Saturday?" Chaewon asked.

"I pick you up, we go together, simple. It's not that complicated." Doyoung simply replied as the two got to his car.

"Sounds good to me." Chaewon smiled as she happily got into Doyoung's car ready to go home.
