"sometimes you find happiness in places you've never looked"
. . .
"calm down, your going to trip" chenle fought off a smile as he watched her skip across the hallway towards marks office. she had notified jisung but he decided against coming as he wanted to quickly finish wiring the last few cards
"just look at it!" she shoved the glass keycard with a lanyard attached to it in chenle's face
"i get it, you're happy" he states, digging his hands into his pockets. just as she was about to open mark's office door, mark walked straight out of it while flipping through files.
"mark!" she almost screamed. mark looked up, smiling at her and closing the folder
"i have some good news" she didn't know combat members had to do file work as well
"i've been waiting for good news. ever since we had to reinvestigate everything, i am just not in a good mood" he laughed lightly, looking at the ecstatic girl
"ta da" she pulled out his keycard and waved it in front of him. mark's eyes lit up and quickly took the card in his hands.
"is this mine?" he asked, spinning the cards around. she nodded. mark's face lit up and he was about to go in for a hug, but when he glanced at chenle, he immediately dropped his hands and patted hyejin on the head.
chenle's eyes were burning holes into mark so he just thought it would be a better idea to not cross chenle. but when hyejin turned around to look at chenle, he looked fine. dead, as usual
a ding suddenly went off in hyejin's phone as mark was busy fanboying over his key card and chenle staring into the walls. she pulled her phone out to be greeted with a strange message
unknown
i can offer a deal to you.
we know you're working for NCT
and we also know you are also quite close to that chenle boy

deal?
you have until tonight to decide
if you refuse to decide, then you know what happens
if you dare tell anyone about this, i would suggest locking up all your doors
i'll wait for your replyhow did they...
realisation dawned on her when she left her phone on the van. cursing herself, she glanced at chenle. she wasn't ready to let someone she had grown so close to get hurt because of her...but she wasn't ready to betray the whole of NCT
