drivethru [nct dream]

s1e10

it seemed as though today's extremely busy shift was never going to end. even though jisung only had a half hour left, it felt that half hour was an eternity away.
the only good thing about this was that it gave him more time time steal glances at chenle, who was still working at the counter for donghyuck.

he wondered why donghyuck needed someone to fill in for him.

chenle really did feel bad for jisung, since he was working the drive thru on such a busy day... and alone.
he kept glancing over every few minutes, trying to see if he was doing okay. and surprisingly, he seemed to be doing just fine.

luckily, the rate of business had gradually died down, so he didn't have to worry as much. chenle was, however, a little irritated that it wasn't getting busy just as his shift ended.

"you're still working the counter?"

chenle fixed his attention of jaemin, who just came through the door. he heaved a long and tired sigh, sadly nodding.

"yeah, but my shift is pretty much over," he replied. "so hyuck better get back because he's got nobody to cover for him."

💫

jisung's shift was finally over. he couldn't wait to get home and just relax. he had been on his feet the whole time, and he was just feeling drained. if this was what working at sonic was going to be on a regular basis, then jisung was not here for it.
but actually he was because he needed to money.

when he opened the door to the backroom, it didn't open all the way. there was a small thud, and he could only guess that someone was behind the door.

"i'm so sorry!" he quickly apologized, trying to slip through the small crack to see if the person was okay.

he tried not to gasp when he saw chenle by the sign in sheet. the fact that he hit chenle of all the people with the door... that was beyond embarrassing for jisung.

"it's okay..." chenle assured, putting on a smile for him. "i'm fine! really!"

"you sure?" again, jisung felt so embarrassed.

chenle patted his shoulder, before opening the door again.
"yeah. see you later, jisung!"

the door closed again, leaving jisung alone in the backroom. he walked up to the sheet on the door, seeing that chenle had already written his hours.

oh, he thought. he has the same hours as me today...

jisung decided to sign himself out as well, getting it out the way so he could just grab this things together.
