Autophobia

《17》

Eunkyung stepped out of the red car, the cold night air hugging her sending a shiver down her spine as she wraps her arms around herself in hopes for more warmth. She looked behind her as Chenle came into view with a beaming smile. "Are you excited Eun?" she looked at the boy, a small smile grazing her lips. "I am actually, I haven't seen Yejin since I left Australia, definitely missed her ugly ass." A laugh erupted from the other side of the car as another body inched closer to hers. "What a lovely way to talk about your best friend Kyungie."

"Yeah, whatever you say Haechan. Let's go get her, it's cold out here." The three entered the massive building, Haechan and Chenle following a little behind as Eunkyung walked ahead, the excitement growing in her. she made it to where they had to pick Yejin up from, seeing how people started to exit the plane and wait for their bags to show up. Eunkyung started to bounce on the balls of her feet, the excitement slowly becoming unbearable. Haechan and Chenle stood behind the girl cooeeing at how childish she was being, Chenle recording the whole ordeal so that she could watch back over it whenever she missed her best friend after her departure.

A few minutes passed as the girl came into view. Her bags were by her side as she eyed the room in search of her best friend. Once the two locked eyes they shrieked in unison, Yejin dropping her bag by her suitcase before running toward Eunkyung as she prepared herself. Once the girl was closer, she leapt forward into Eunkyung's arms and secures herself on the smaller one's body. Chenle stood back allowing Eunkyung some space to stumble without falling over while regulating both girls body weight, eventually placing Yejin down.

Eunkyung stood back making sure she didn't let go of Yejin as she took a quick look over her features. The girl's hair was visibly longer, her features more mature as glasses sat on the bridge of her nose, and light makeup adorning her features. Her once light blue streaks of hair were now replaced with a bright pungent red. Her once fringe was now curtain bangs framing her face. Chenle stopped recording as he placed his phone in his pocket. He noticed as Haechan walked over to the girl's luggage taking it in his hands before returning to his side. "Do you want me to take the luggage out to the car?" Haechan looked over to Chenle, silently nodding before chucking him the keys.

Chenle grabbed the luggage off Haechan before exiting the airport leaving Haechan with the two over-excited best friends. Haechan watched as the two ranted on about anything and everything as he approached Eunkyung, tapping his shoulder. "Kyungie, we have to go, it's getting late, and you girls need sleep we have a big day tomorrow." Eunkyung turned to Haechan with a beaming smile, eagerly nodding. She grabbed Yejin by the hand before Haechan led them out to the car.

Once they made it out Eunkyung stood beside the car, hand in hand with Yejin while Chenle and Haechan stood opposite them. "Haechan, Chenle, this is my best friend from when I was in Australia, Yejin. Yejin meet Haechan and Chenle!" Eunkyung looked at Yejin wondering how she will handle meeting the two members. "Hey, Yejin! I heard you're a fan." Chenle shot her a beaming eye smile with a small wave before looking at Haechan. "It's lovely to finally meet you Yejin, Kyungie is always talking about you!" Yejin's breath hitched as she gulped. "Hey, guys! It's a bit scary meeting you guys not gonna lie, I'm so used to being a fan that it's a bit hard to fathom the idea of befriending you guys, but I hope that we all get along!" the two agreed before all four of them climbed into the car, Eunkyung occupying the backseat this time instead of Chenle as he occupied the passenger seat, a small pout forming on Haechan's face in the absence of his girlfriend.
