Once upon Shanghai | 𝒞𝐻𝐸𝒩𝒥𝐼

Chapter 1

He did dream of the kid again.

Jisung was sweating as he open his eyes and sit up to catch his own breath.

The side of his eyes are both wet. He's crying.

He raised his hand to wipe his tears and buried his face on a pillow. There, he tries to calm himself.

He have dream of that kid again. That specific kid who always visit him on his dreams. He regret what he did before. He regret what he said to the kid who just want to be close with him. He was just young back then.

He almost killed the kid and he knows it was his fault. It still haunts him until now.

"How's that kid doing?"

"Is he still alive?"

"Did he survive?"

He don't even know the kid's name.

He wants to say sorry. He wants to say that he didn't mean what he said. For sure, that kid is mad at him.

"Jisung? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."

Jisung's friend, Zhong Chenle said as he went out of his bathroom with his hair wet.

Jisung was shocked when he saw him inside his room, but he didn't care at all.

He wipe his tears once more before looking at chenle and shook his head twice.

"No, you didn't wake me up, I didn't even know you're here." He answered.

Chenle gets shy and held his own nape.

"The shower on the guest room is broke. I was scared to use the bathroom downstairs so I just use your bathroom here. Glad you didn't lock your door"

"I didn't really lock my door."

"Why though?"

"I just don't. But where are you going this early?"

"I'm going to cook our breakfast. I also need to list note of where to tour you. We're in Shanghai and there's many places I want you to go and see!"

Jisung smiled at Chenle's statement.

The older look excited and it's making him excited too.

They are on his uncle's house.

Jisung came from a wealthy family and his uncle owns 35 houses in different countries.

Just so when they want to travel all around the world, they have places to go and stay.

Chenle came on a wealthy family as well, but instead of staying at Chenle's house (mansion to be exact) they decided to stay at Jisung's uncle house in their first week of tour. But they will visit Chenle's parents before they go back to Korea.

"It's just 5am, you can sleep again while I cook. I'll just wake you up when your breakfast is ready."

Jisung smirk and he look at the older teasingly.

"Why do you sounded like a caring husband, lele?" He asked.

Chenle almost choke at Jisung's words.

He darted a glare at the younger but it doesn't stop his cheeks from turning red.

"Stop saying nonsense, Jisung Park." He scolded and immediately turn his back to leave the younger's room.

Jisung chuckled because of his reaction.

But stop when he think of something.

Why does Chenle looks so familiar?

It's ironic to ask, knowing that they are already friends for almost 3 and a half years. But everytime he looks at Chenle, he really looks familiar. Like he have seen him even before his Jaemin hyung introduced chenle to them.

But just like what he always do before, he just shrugged the idea off.

He lay on his bed and close his eyes, forcing himself to take a nap.

Hoping that it will stop him from thinking unnecessary things that will just gave him clouds of scary thoughts.
