Highway to your Heart || Haechan ||

nineteen

Renjun awoke with a killer headache and a dead weight almost crushing him and his poor lungs before he managed to kick the passed out girl off.

It was only ten in the morning so he wasn't really happy to be awake considering how they stayed up all night and barely got a few hours of sleep.

He blames it all on Jaemin for dragging them to a club and then ditching their group to go off and grind against a random girl on the dancefloor.

Jeno, Shotaro, Yangyang and the two of them just watched the guy get wilder as the alcohol kept flowing into him until they eventually gave in too.

He vaguely remembers how Yangyang danced on a table without his shirt and how Shotaro became all touchy and flirty with the former.

Iseul undoubtedly drank the most with her high tolerance and only later started experiencing the full kick of it, by when three were already passed out in their booth.

Her and Jeno had been singing along to the songs and dancing weirdly while Renjun was in a deep conversation with his cocktail glass about the latest fashion trends.

The group left the club around six in the morning once Jaemin and Shotaro woke up and were sobered up a bit, helping drag Yangyang home while watching the happy trio stumble along.

The girl groaned when her source of heat disappeared and rolled over to the other side of the bed before rolling off with a loud thump.

Rubbing her head she sat up and groaned at the piercing pain that shot trough her skull, slowly standing up and stumbling out into the kitchen to grab some water.

Renjun was already holding out a bottle while sipping from his own, looking just as shitty as she probably was after their wild night.

The two wordlessly moved around their place to retrieve painkillers and wash all of last night's sweat and makeup off which they didn't do earlier before settling on the sofa.

"Hangover soup and dumplings?"

She nodded and grabbed her phone to order something when a message from an unknown number caught her attention.

The Chinese boy leaned his head on her shoulder and watched her read the text on the screen with a frown, groaning about having to get his glasses for something so stupid before just giving up wanting to know what it was about.

"You not going to answer that?"

"I'll just send and okay emoji since I don't have the strength to deal with this now." She said before tapping the first sticker and dropping the phone down beside her to rest her tired eyes.

"Remind me to kick Jaemin if he insists on going to the club again."

Renjun nodded and dozed off once the medicine lessened his headache and the tiredness took over him, cuddling up to the girl and snoring slightly.

Iseul suddenly remembered the load of work she had planned for the afternoon and sighed at the thought of running into Donghyuck after not seeing him for over a month.

It must have been fate or something because as she walked into the cafe to grab a drink on her way to meet up with Taeyong a loud voice called out her name.

Turning around she saw the tan guy walk over and cock an eyebrow at her choice of fashion since there was no sun yet she still wore sunglasses.

"Not today."

"No offense but you look like you haven't slept a wink all night."

"That's probably because I didn't so I'd appreciate it if you could tone down the volume of your voice a bit." She grabbed the cup filled with black energy liquid before heading for the door, the guy following behind.

"Should I be concerned about you overworking yourself? I can talk to Ten and make him actually do his part of the work instead of pushing it on you."

"Nah, I'd be more concerned about the idiot who decided that going to the club in the middle of the week was a great idea to relieve stress."

Donghyuck snorted before looking at her and holding back the comment about her being a lightweight when he noticed her wince at the loud honking of a car, feeling bad for her.

"Couldn't you postpone the thing why you came all the way here if you feel unwell?"

"It's my fault for going with the guys and this project is my responsibility as well so I can't just do things halfheartedly.

Today's meeting is about the filming schedule for the music video so I don't really want to postpone it because it will still need editing despite the minimalistic concept, and I need to focus on you guys now that the first showing of the musical is approaching rapidly."

Iseul told him this and continued walking towards the familiar recording rooms leaving a stunned guy behind stare at her with wide eyes and dusted cheeks.

Donghyuck felt his heart skip a beat at her words and reached up to feel his strong heartbeat on his chest, a weird tingly feeling spreading all over his stomach.

"What did she just do to me?"
