Soulmate production [Chan x Reader]

[5] - Whatever's meant to be

POV: Chris

Jisung prepared breakfast for the three of us which is honestly such a relief. I don't know why, but it was so hard to fall asleep last night. I had so much energy left that I absolutely couldn't calm down. To cut it short, I fell asleep around 4am and am way too tired to do anything right now. Making breakfast would've been a disaster.

"You keep going out so much lately. How come?", he asks me.

I excitedly take a bite out of the scrambled eggs he made and do my little happy dance. I signalize that I can't answer him right now because my mouth is full. He simply scoffs at me.

"It's 'cause Channie's got a girlfriend~", Changbin replies teasingly.

Jisung's eyes widen in surprise and his head swiftly turns from looking at Changbin to looking at me, to him again, then back at me.

"Why wasn't I informed?", he asks cheated.

"Because I don't have one. I've just been hanging out with this person frequently", I comfort him.

I know how easily betrayed Jisung feels when Changbin knows something about me that he doesn't, or the other way around. He doesn't like feeling left out, which is totally understandable.

"But you intend on asking her out?", he asks curiously.

"Of course he does!", Changbin urges.

"If only it were that easy", I sigh.

Both of them look at me baffled.

I place my fork on the table and lean my head onto the back of my hand.

"She's got a boyfriend", I confess.

Changbin throws his hands up in the air as if we was flipping a table, whilst Jisung frowns.

"There's no way he's better than you are. What's this dude's name?", Changbin questions.

"It's Max. The singer."

"Never mind", he whispers.

I can't even be mad at the fact that he assumes Max is better than I am. As an artist? Sure, maybe. That's up to the individual. Then again, as a person? I still can't fight this feeling that he's not treating y/n the way she should be treated. Not saying this because I'd like for her to be with me instead, but because I can't stand it when someone mistreats the person they're supposed to love. It just doesn't sit right with me.

"But how did you even meet her, then?", Jisung continues interrogating me.

I don't mind it at all. It's nice to know my friends care about me so much.

"First time was at a club. She was alone in one of the rooms, freezing. I gave her my jacket, but Max quickly came and got her out. Then we met at a random spot. We started talking about how we're both producers, and all that... then at a bar, where she passed out. I called Max to pick her up that night", I describe everything we've done already as briefly as I possibly could.

"That sounds way too coincidental to be a coincidence", Jisung exclaims.

"What the hell does that even mean?", Changbin asks confused.

I can understand what Jisung is trying to say, and I do have to agree, partially. Y/N has mentioned it before. How it's 'weird' that she's had to thank me for looking out for her twice. I don't usually believe in such things, but what if there is some truth to it? What if the universe or whatever power controls our little planet wanted me to be there in those moments? Is that why my intuition told me to enter that bar I never went to before? Is that why Changbin convinced me to go to that club with him even though I don't drink and don't party? It truly is odd.
