drivethru [nct dream]

s1e12

as jisung rode his bike home, he kept thinking about chenle getting in that fancy car. he thought maybe it was his parents' car, and the driver was just his dad picking him up.
but he remembered how he called him 'sir' rather than 'son' or just 'chenle'.
but he decided to brush that thought aside. he shouldn't be thinking about that when he needed to focus on the road.

💫

chenle leaned his head against the window, tiredly looking out at the freeway. he heaved a sigh as he thought about a large range of things... and about someone. whatever he had been thinking about had consumed him to the point that he was unaware of his driver trying to speak to him.

"sir,"

"huh, what?"

he realized the car stopped moving, as they were at a red light. when chenle finally refocused his attention, his driver returned back to looking ahead.

"your father wanted me to tell you that he has colleagues over for dinner. so make sure you're on your best behavior."

chenle sighed again. when chenle didn't give an answer, his driver adjusted the mirror.

"sir? did you hear–."

"yes, i'll be on my best behavior," he answer unenthusiastically. "and i already told you, kun. you don't have to call me 'sir' or whatever."

he didn't see it, but chenle could hear kun's smile from the front seat.
"yeah, okay..."

after a bit of silence, chenle looked out the window again, his forehead getting cold now.

"did your job take in a new employee?" kun, his driver, finally asked. and chenle sat straight up.
"i just noticed a new person in uniform, that's all..."

chenle knew who he was talking about, and he couldn't help his growing smile. he didn't know exactly why, but he was happy that kun had asked about him.

"yeah, he's new."
