NCT Imagines (Requests Open!)

Gentleman (Chenle)

He held out his arm to block the hundreds of flashes from the cameras surrounding him.  His bodyguard moved in front of him while another two flanked him.  Being a young CEO was not easy, but Chenle had put on a brave face and published a much braver marketing plan for his electronics company.  

"Can you give us a statement on the collaboration between you and Areum?"

Chenle grinned.  Areum was the up and coming beauty company of the 21st century, and he'd be a fool to miss out on partnering with them- especially when they had a secret weapon that would make his new product a walk in the park.  

"No statements right now.  Just look forward to big stuff," Chenle winked at a reporter before slipping into his building with his bodyguards in suit.  He straightened out his maroon-colored coat and raked his slender fingers through his blonde hair.

He was tired of the media focusing on him because of his pretty face.  This time, he would divert their attention to his actual product for sure.  He hoped they'd forget his face.  Chenle strode into the meeting room where you were, laughing when he saw you.

Your legs were kicked up on the table, and you couldn't hear a thing through your red headphones.  Your fingers deftly typed away at something on your laptop, and you diligently sucked on the lollipop in your mouth.

Chenle shook his head, pushing all thoughts out of his head.  "What's up, Y/N?"

"You survived the reporters outside?  I'm impressed," you lowered your legs.  "So, we're launching in a week's time?"

Chenle plopped down in an empty chair next to you, waving his bodyguards away.  "That's the plan.  Can we try it out on you?"

You looked at him, worried.  "You probably don't want to try it out on me.  If you saw me without my makeup, you'd run screaming."

Chenle rolled his eyes.  "Not very much scares me.  Wipe everything off and we'll test the app out."

Over the past two years, Chenle had been developing an app that could diagnose anyone's skin type and tell you how to do your makeup with the products you had.  It was simple, but he knew it'd be revolutionary.  It'd fix the over-contoured cheeks and the heavy blush problems.  And not to mention the more than over-filled brows.  He suffered from that from time to time, and let's just say his best friend Jisung never let him live it down.  Plus you were a beauty expert, so you were the person he needed most to configure the app.

You slowly wiped the makeup off your face with a wipe until it was bare, and you faced Chenle.  "Happy now?"

Chenle looked you over and beamed.  "You look good without anything on."  

He quickly moved past his own comment and opened up the app on the beta-testing tablet.  But he realized that in order for you to see your face, he had to hold the tablet up since you had nothing to prop it up on.  

"Come a bit closer.  It can't analyze me from that far away," you chastised him, and Chenle inched closer.  

He studied your face, not realizing you had hid all those freckles under your foundation and concealer.  And there was adorable little birth mark on the corner of your lip-

"CEO?  May I have a word with you?" 

Chenle whipped around at the sound of that voice, seeing Y/N's father leaning against the door frame.  He rushed over, leaving you to hold up the tablet and manage to do your makeup at the same time.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Y/N's father laughed.  He was the CEO of Areum, the beauty company he was partnering with to make this app a reality.
