Syncing Dream [Aespa x M!Reader]

Side 4. Ning Ning Noodle

On a bright, bustling Saturday afternoon, Y/n was blissfully asleep in his bed, dreaming of a peaceful weekend. The warm sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow in the room. Suddenly, the door swung open, and in came Ningning, full of energy and a mischievous grin.

"Y/n! Get up! It's time for adventure!" she exclaimed, marching over to his bed. Before he could even respond, she yanked the covers off him, leaving him exposed to the cool air.

"Ya! What the—?" he groaned, squinting at the sudden light. "Ning, it's too early for this!"

"It's not early! It's almost noon!" she protested, her enthusiasm undeterred. "And I've been waiting all week for us to go shopping!"

Y/n rubbed his eyes, feeling a sense of déjà vu. "This feels oddly familiar. Didn't you do this last time you got sick?"

"Exactly!" she said, her voice bubbling with excitement. "But this time, I have a whole plan! We're going to explore Seoul's hidden spots, starting with my favourite record store and a retro café!"

He sat up, still fighting off the remnants of sleep. "A record store? You know I can't keep up with your bubbliness."

Ningning placed her hands on her hips, feigning seriousness. "You don't have a choice! Besides, you can't say no to me dragging you out of bed when it's a beautiful day outside."

"Fine, but I expect at least one coffee stop during this 'adventure,'" he relented, throwing his legs over the side of the bed. "Give me a minute to wake up properly."

"Okay, but hurry! I want to get to the shops before all the good stuff is gone!" she urged, bouncing on her heels. "Also, wear something cute! We have to look good for all the Instagram posts!"

He chuckled, shaking his head at her boundless enthusiasm. "Sure, let me just throw on something that will make me look like an icon," he joked, heading to his closet.

As he rummaged through his clothes, Ningning waited impatiently, tapping her foot. "You know, if you don't hurry, I might have to drag you out of the house in your undies!"

"DON'T YOU DARE, YIZHUO!" Y/n called back, finally finding a decent outfit that wouldn't make him look like he just rolled out of bed—again.

Once he was dressed, Ningning practically bounced out of the dorm, her excitement infectious. "See? Wasn't that easy? Now let's go make some memories!"

With a resigned smile, Y/n followed her out into the bustling streets of Seoul, a sense of anticipation building within him. "Okay, let's see what kind of trouble we can get into today," he said, shaking his head in mock defeat.

The sun shone brightly, and the streets were alive with energy. Ningning's enthusiasm was palpable as she skipped ahead, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"We're going to have the best day ever!" she exclaimed, glancing back at him with a huge smile. "I have so many hidden spots to show you!"

Y/n chuckled, already feeling slightly out of his depth. "Are you sure I'm dressed for this?" He gestured at his simple outfit—jeans and a hoodie—definitely not as runway-ready as the pieces Ningning was eyeing.

"Don't worry! We'll fix that," she said with a grin, pulling him toward the first shop. "Come on, just trust me!"

The first stop was a quirky boutique, filled with bright colors and funky styles. Ningning's energy was infectious as she flitted from rack to rack, holding up dresses and blouses with wild patterns. "Look at this one! It's so cute!" she squealed, holding up a pink polka-dot dress.
