arrival

chenle's point of view

after their goodbyes, we got on our way to the gates.

when it was time to board in the plane, I noticed something dangling down jianjie's neck, a gold necklace.

"hey jianjie did you buy a new n-"
I tried to ask her, but unfortunately, an announcement cut me off.

"now boarding, flight A083, please come to the gates with your boarding pass."

"nevermind."
I muttered silently.

after sitting down in our seats, jianjie looked at me.

"what?"
she asked as i frowned in confusion.

"huh?"

"you were asking me something a while ago gege, what is it?"
she asked while raising a brow slightly.

"it's nothing important."
I shook it off.

"uh...gege?"
she tapped my shoulder and leaned in to rest her head on it.

"hm."
I hummed softly, patting her head in a slow manner.

"is there a problem?"
she removed her head on my shoulder to look at me.

"what?"
i was confused, all of the members in nct were really close, if there was a problem, all of us would know.

"before our flight, one of the guys looked upset..."
she trailed off, her voice becoming softer, it was as if she was whispering.

"who?"
I leaned my ears in to hear clearly.

"(???)"
she responded quietly, I was shocked, ______ is the person that is most likely to be cheerful rather than being unhappy he may be silent sometimes though.

"there wasn't a problem that I know of, maybe he's just tired."
I replied to her response with confused eyes. what was going on that I didn't know of?

"oh."

TIME SKIP brought to you BY mAMa $uhoe

once jianjie and I stepped foot out of the airport, camera flashes were already blinding our eyes, when we set our eyes to our seniors, we immediately got in our way to their direction.

when jackson-ge saw us he literally screamed adorably.

"OH HI LI'L DOLPHIN!~"

I laughed at his nickname for me, and when I say "laugh", you obviously know how I laugh since jianjie was covering her left ear while giving a judgemental look.

"HI JACKSON-GE!~"
I screamed back.

"seriously geges, I think you'll get along pretty well, you're both uh-"
jianjie started, shooting me a very judging look, she didn't really wake up nicely.

"pretty loud, they obviously know that."
yixing-ge continued, cutting her off while looking at jackson-ge with a disapproving look.

"oh yixing-ge! how have you been?"
jianjie greeted yixing-ge.

"i've been fine little one, thank you for asking." yixing-ge replied while ruffling her hair as I stood behind her uncomfortably.
