Harbinger | NCT Doyoung

twenty nine

A swarming two weeks have passed by as Doyoung was at the airport preparing to leave. He had already said bye to Michael and Natalie as he was boarding the plane. He truly missed the couple who took him out to parties, and helping him enjoy his life while he had work and online classes.

Doyoung had gotten a text message from Taeyong saying that he would be coming back to the same apartment since Jungwoo didn't need it for the summer break. His flight was called, placing his phone in the pocket and grabbing his luggage.

He then boarded the airplane, ready to sleep for 14 hours.

Goodbye New York City

-

Jaehyun came home from an outing with his friends, seeing his sister on the couch and watching some TV while eating some caramel popcorn.

"Hey sis." Jaehyun took a breath, not knowing how to break this information to her.

"What's up Jae?" Chaewon tilted her head and looked at him.

"Doyoung's going to be home tomorrow and everyone is planning to meet up at Moon Burgers. I know you are working but I'm curious if you wanted to come. I'm sure mother would let you off." Jaehyun scratched his head.

Chaewon felt uncomfortable by his speech, given the fact that Doyoung wasn't mentioned since the last time she saw him at a heart breaking moment. She wanted to work tomorrow since they were going to be understaffed due to some of her coworkers going on vacation. Honestly, she didn't know what to do, but her heart decided what she was going to say.

"I can't come, but he can stop by at the cafe if he wants to."

-

Doyoung had arrived to his old shared apartment with Taeyong in Seoul. He settled everything at his old room with some of Jungwoo's belongings for the school year, but for the most part it was empty. He unpacked everything with Taeyong's help, catching up a little bit on life.

"Everyone's going to be at Moon Burgers tonight. Want to come? I heard some of Winwin's friends are coming too." Taeyong invited him.

"Sure." Doyoung nodded. "It feels nice coming back to eat burgers that Hanseol makes. They're the best."

"Not even the ones in New York can beat it?" Taeyong lifted up his eyebrow.

"Nope."

Doyoung and Taeyong had arrived to Moon Burgers, meeting an overwhemling about of boys.

Damn 23 boys and a Lanying clutching onto Winwin.

Doyoung made time to talk to Winwin's friends, introducing himself and some of the high schoolers who are now in college. Chenle was about to graduate high school while Jisung still had one year to go.

He then sat at the table with Jaehyun and Mark since they were the oddball ones out of the other full table.

"What's up hyung?" Mark did a bro handshake with Doyoung. "It's been a while since you were here. Welcome back to Korea."

"Thanks Mark." Doyoung turned to Jaehyun who was about to speak.

"We should visit by the cafe next door, my sister is planning to make us coffee. We'll I'm not sure if she can serve everyone but I promised her I would be here. Want to come with? Mark? Doyoung?" Jaehyun looked at the two.

Doyoung simply nodded while Mark was squealing like a child. Doyoung wasn't in the fond of seeing Chaewon at the moment, but he had to for the sake of his friends.

After all, he felt stupid to fall in love.

Hanseol then came by to the table after serving burgers to the many people in his restaurant, seeing a familiar face arriving back to Korea.
