✩ the mall

@lee taeyong i think they like you, they tease me a lot about you so that's a good sign.
wiggles my eyebrows in response to your grin.
i think we could, or maybe at least our group logos? i'd want one.
smiles softly and starts scanning the key chains, looking for one with our faces on it.
hmmm, where are you taeyong where-
squints in an effort to concentrate on the key chains in front of me until noticing one with the nct logo on it.
oh! here's one of your group-
points to the key chain with a bright smile.

@choi hansol "Yes i can!" She nods cheerfully while is still stuff with foods then chews it after "and im finally done!" She streches her arms up then rested her head on her palm "Ill watch u of you're not yet finish." she chuckled the starts staring at him "Why do people feel uncomfortable if someone stares at them when they eat? I dont get it "

@jung chaeyeon He laughs at her ever so adorable tone of speech. "Can you fit all of that inside?" He chuckled.

@choi hansol She chuckles at his words "That's so adorable" she said in awe before chuckling again "No no!" She said shaking her both hands "what i mean is let's go finish our foods. It'll be a waste to just leave it" nods eagerly then watches Vernon while eating "Do you want to go somewhere next time? It'll be my treat this time"

@jung chaeyeon "Well, considering having dinner with someone I really like makes me nervous. Can't you tell?" Vernon chuckled. He finished his third piece of pizza - thankfully, without choking on it. "It's fine, I can finish it. You don't want to finish it?" He asked, concerned. "Well, it's okay actually. I don't mind leaving it." Vernon smiles at the girl, her face beaming.

@choi hansol "why? Do u feel nervous around me?" She blinks in confusion "Its okay! Aigooo. Its fine really, Not finish your food ok? Then let's go to some of your favorite places" she grinned at him again before eating the last piece of pizza and starts eating fries

@jung chaeyeon Vernon laughed after chugging his water. "Aigoo~" He cooed at her voice.

@choi hansol She looks at him worriedly as he coughs then she pats his back really gently while helping him wipe the stains then looks at you "are you okay?" still patting his back "i told you to eat slowly aigoo " she shake her head before going back to her seat then she offers Vernon her juice "here drink some, It'll be hard to digest it too"

@jung chaeyeon Vernon finally chokes and coughs out all of his pizza. "Oh my I am so sorry..." he frantically apologizes to his noona. He took tissues and wiped his mess away. As he finishes he felt his cheeks going red. "I am so sorry, Chae. I don't normally do this."

@choi hansol "really you'll teach me? That's nice! Im glad that you're offering me lessons for free" she chuckled and gets excited as soon as the Pizza arrived "wahhh" she exclaimed before having a really big bite as if she's been hungry for a month "why? Acting is just like living your life in another world, Thats it and I think its quite interesting" nodding as she wipes the stains in then looks at him "Heyy slow down, you might choke aigoo are you a kid?" Chuckling again then offers a tissue for him to wipe his too "That's so dirty, im seeing my 7 year old self in you"

@jung chaeyeon "You want to try dancing with me sometime? I could show you my studio and teach you some tricks." He said, half staring at the food arriving and half staring at her. "And no, I won't be acting, ever." He let out a small chuckle. "My hobbies? Hm," he started. Grabbing his first piece of pizza, he memorized some parts of her face. "I like eating." He said with his mouth full.

@choi hansol She speaks but she is observing him and notices that he doesnt focused and thought that Vernon didn't hear what she said. "Jinjja? Ive watch few MVs of Seventeen earlier and i think you that u can be a great actor. U should go ask your company " She nods eagerly before waving her two hands "but dont misunderstand! I've watched all of my sunbaes and hoobaes music video. And it's better if i know my partner well" grinning sheepishly then eyes widened as she heard that he loves reading too,the fact that They both have so much things in common is unbelievable "Really? That's great! Maybe we could go to the Libary sometimes if you're free Vernon-ssi" she grins and stares at him like memorizing every parts of his face before coming back into her sense "you still haven't told me your hobbies, i can't help but to be curious"

@jung chaeyeon "Yeah, your hobbies." He nodded. As he listened to her delicate voice speak, he noticed how soft her lips looked. Her eyes gleamed in the half-dimmed light above them. She looks like a goddess; a golden princess shining in amber lights. "Acting, wow! That's so cool! I could never act, I at it," Vernon began. She continues. She likes reading books? he thought. How cute! "That's not boring at all, Chae. I like reading as much as you!"

@choi hansol he waits for his orders as Chaeyeon orders for a Box of Pepperoni pizza with 8 slices and 2 glass of Juice then lets the waiter leaves. She looks at him as he ask "U mean my Hobbies?" Raised her eyebrows before thinking "Hmm Im focusing on my Acting and Mcing skills since a lot of people criticize me. Guess im still lacking and in need of my Seniors advice" she nods. "But if i i have extra time i read books while walking with a strawberry juice on the other hand. boring isn't it? " she chuckles at the thoughts of it. "How about you?" She looks curiously in him

@jung chaeyeon Vernon looked at the menu and stared at the ever so mouthwatering pepperoni pizza. He couldn't decide between the truffle fries or the pizza. "I'll go with the fries. I want nothing else." He said with a smile. The waiter exits casually and let him and Chaeyeon conversate. "So, any interests?"

@choi hansol "ah!" She exclaimed and was about to hold his hand too. But he did it first so she let head lead the way and she just followed, After the walk they finally found it, They entered inside and sat on the chair near the glass windor. "Let's order now, Do u want anything beside pizza and fries?" She looks at the menu from the counter before looking at him

@jung chaeyeon "Ground, which is right above us," Vernon read as he reads the information given. He takes her hand and takes on a journey through the winding escalators of the building. After much navigating, they found it, right next to the empty shoe store. "Let's sit there," said the half-Korean half-American boy pointing to a spot right next to the window.

@choi hansol Chaeyeon is following Vernon's steps. She Suddenly felt the cold air and realized the mall is quiet maybe because it's already late and they're about to close soon. She looks at him while he's skimming through his phone "Im fine with that as soon as it's pizza" she replied grinning before looking around "let's go! Which floor is it?"

@jung chaeyeon The mall seemed quiet as Chaeyeon and Vernon entered. The vast contraption houses a few thousand people; Vernon's eyes around and tries to find a pizzeria nearby. He grabs his phone and tries to search to save time. Finally after lots of scrolling he finds one with a reasonable price. "Cal's Pizzeria. Seems good. What do you think, Chae?"

@im dayoung well, as long as they don't think i'm icky or not a good match for you, i'd call it a success.
presses a quick peck to your hand before wondering off, taking a look at a small rack of snackbacks and t-shirts along one of the shop's walls; pokes my head around a rack when i hear your voice, my eyes wide.
hm-? oh.
waddles over to your side and checks out some of the keychains, seeing what kinds there were.
wow... group logos, idol's faces - think we could find ones with our faces on them?
tears my eyes away from the keychains to look up at you through my eyelashes, my lips split into a challenging grin.

@lee taeyong well, i suppose i could. you're the best anyways.
chuckles softly and reaches my other hand to hold your other hand.
all of the girls know about you too, they think uh- we're cute.
follows you in and looks around the shop in awe, my gaze roaming around to all of the cute items that decorated the shop.
i think that might be a really good idea.
my eyes land a row of cute key chains and i let go of your hands to go over to look at them careefully, a smile spreading over my face.
hey, aren't these cute?

@im dayoung if they say anything, you can just brag about how amazing of a -- person you have.
coughs quietly.
and the guys know about you, so i don't know if they'll say much. they tease, but then they get tired of it when i don't get affected by it.
shrugs slightly, squeezing your hand tightly, pulling you into the shop.
yeah, i think we should!
walks in and looks around, seeing tons of little keychains, posters, stickers, and buttons, in awe of how much stuff is actually inside.
maybe we could stay here and look for a while.
chuckles.

@lee taeyong maybe i'll get it. oh?
straightens up to turn towards you fully, my eyes wide and attentive.
well, that's a nice idea. i might do that too, something to remind me of you every time i come back to the dorms. i wonder what the other members will say to me having a huge poster on the wall...
chuckles and squeezes your hand.
i wonder what your members will say....
turns my head back towards the posters.
should we go in and get it now?

@im dayoung slips my hand out of yours to rub your back gently.
you could still buy the poster, silly. i think i know what i may want -
eyes the wjsn poster with pursed lips, pointing to it hesitantly.
i think i want the wjsn poster. but i'm not one-hundred percent sure. if we can find something inside with just your face on it, then that will do. i thought it would be nice to have something to look at when we aren't together.
looks down at you out of the corner of my eye and smiles, slipping m hand back into yours.
what do you think?

@lee taeyong nods towards the snapbacks with a grin, looking over at you and envisioning them on top of your head, my grin starting to widen.
they do look cool. they'd be nice on you too!
turns my head to look at the window, a soft chuckle falling from my lips, my eyes shining as i look at both of the posters.
oh! that's so cool-
pulls you closer to the window as i approach it with a smile, a finger reaching out to touch place where your face is on the poster.
you look super cool here...
do you think i could buy the poster?
tears my gaze away from the poster to turn my head to where you are, a small chuckle falling from my lips.
but then again, i have the real thing here

@im dayoung encloses my hand into a fist, gesturing that i will save the kiss for later, my lips still pulled into a smirk.
walks with you happily, passing by some clothing stores before stopping to look in the window of a store that sells snapbacks.
those look pretty cool.
pulls you forward to the next store, which is one with tons of posters in the window and little collectibles.
ah! take a look at the window. our faces are there.
excitedly points to an nct and wjsn poster.

@lee taeyong oh. oh- i uh...
blinks rapidly in embarrassment, unable to form proper sentences before settling on placing a small peck on the finger at the corner of my mouth.
really? show me! and of course, i never was one to decline gifts.
chuckles softly as i look up at you, my eyes shining with delight and excitement.
i can't wait to see what you want-

@im dayoung raises the hand that isn't tightly holding yours to touch the corner of your lip softly, slowly blinking before i speak.
isn't it obvious? you're my present.
starts walking forward, pulling you alongside me as i look around for a specific shop.
if you insist on getting me something, i have an idea of what i want -
but you have to promise that i can get you something too.
turns to you and smirks as we keep walking.

@lee taeyong tilts my head in confusion, my eyebrows coming togeter as i start biting my lip, my eyes squinting right back at you.
huh? what do you mean by that?
shakes my head with a small pout.
no. i'm going to get you a present. you can't buy me one until i get one for you.
