Inseparable (Chenlexreader)
Notes: This took way to long to get up but i was having trouble ending it i’m sorry lmao, send in requests tho 🤟
you searched around your room, desperately trying to find anything to make you just a little bit less hot. Your power was out, and that meant not A/C m, which meant you’d have to suffer and live as if you were in hell. Looking through drawer after drawer for something lighter than what you already had on (which you probably wouldn’t find), you sighed and sat on your bed. “Mooom!” you shouted. your mom yelled back something along the lines of ‘i know it’s hot but complaining wont do anything’ and ‘The people are coming later so stop complaining or you can go fix it yourself’. you huffed and opened you window hoping there would be a breeze or something. You paced your room, while holding your phone, tryin to convince any of your friends to let you come over. ‘How can all of them have plans?’ you thought, tossing your phone on your bed.
You decided you’d go see what your little brother, jisung, was doing. You weren’t even a year older than him, and he hated when you called him your little brother, but you insisted, and he looked up to you, so he let you. Walking down the hall, you heard jisungs voice clearer and clearer, along with another boy. You’ve met all of his friends, several times, actually, and you knew what they sounded like. You knew their laughs (seeing as when they were over they often invited you to do random stuff with them so you didn’t feel left out). But this was not one of the boys you knew. You quietly knocked on the door and heard a sudden “ShHhhh?” you assumed it was jisung, because only he could have his voice crack in the middle of shushing someone. Apparently they didn’t hear you, so they just continued back on talking. You knocked a bit harder and that’s when you heard footsteps. Soon you were face to face (depending on your height) with your brother jisung. He smiled at you and said “Y/n! I’m glad you came,” he started, leading you into his room “This is Chenle, hes a new kid at my school. He’s from China.” You bowed, and the unfamiliar boy, who you now knew to be chenle, stood up quickly and bowed back. “I’m y/n.” He stared at you, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. “i- uh, nice to meet you.” You smiled at him. “So what are you guys doing?” You asked peeking beside jisung, eyes gazing across his room. “Oh chenles struggling a little with his korean so i told him i’d help him.” You nodded, but that was soon followed with “Two things, 1) it’s looks like you’ve been playing video games and not studying, and 2) doesn’t renjun speak chinese and korean fluently? why isn’t he teaching chenle?” Jisung laughed a little and said “We’ll we got a bit side tracked, and renjun is on vacation with his family for a little, so i took it in my hands to help him.”
You slowly nodded while mouthing “I’m so sorry.” to chenle. He laughed, which made you smile. “Hey, how about you guys come hang out with me. It’s much cooler outside than in here, plus i’m super bored.” jisung rolled his eyes and said “Don’t you have any friends your own age?” You gasped and said “Is THE park jisung finally admitting that he’s the little brother?” he groaned at your annoying words “Fine, we will hang out with you. But we have to get ready.” You smiled and just before the door closed all the way you saw chenle smiling.
You were sitting on your bed, waiting for jisung to knock on your door to tell you he was ready. Instead of the normal, aggressive-ish knock that you usually got when jisung knocked on your door, you were meant with a soft knock, that almost sounded like tapping. You probably wouldn’t have noticed it if you had anything in your room making noise. Slowly you got up, wondering who was at you door and why they knocked so lightly. When you were opening the door you weren’t expecting Chenle, you didn’t think jisung would just send his friend off to go knock on his siblings door ten minutes after they met. You kind of expected Mark since he’s very gentle when it comes to you. ‘Why would Mark be here?’ You asked yourself rolling your eyes thinking of all the times he babied you. “Uh Jisung went to the bathroom and told me to get you and tell you we’re ready when you are.” He looked quite nervous, which made you smile.
Once you and the two boys left the house you began asking chenle all kinds of questions about China, questions you didn’t wanna ask renjun, because you felt he didn’t like you that much. He answered all of your questions with more enthusiasm than anyone you’ve ever seen, and a slightly too loud voice, seeing as some people scolded you for being loud, which he apologized and said he’d be quieter, which resulted in him being louder than before. You, Jisung and Chenle went and got ice cream, you went to the park, you guys even briefly encountered jeno and his family. Once you three returned home, you remembered that chenle would be spending the night. Your parents were having a date night so it was up to you to decide what was for dinner. Normally when they went out you and jisung just ate whatever you wanted for dinner, but you wanted a good first impression, so you started on dinner. “Jisung! Chenle! I made dinner come down.” You heard footsteps running down the stairs. You never make dinner...” Jisung said, curiously, poking the food on his plate. “Stop complaining and eat. I don’t want Chenle to go to sleep hungry.” You spike sternly. Chenle blushed just a little and took a bite of his food.
Once dinner was over the boys were persistent that you watched a movie with them. you rolled your eyes, giving in seeing as they were too cute to say no to. Especially Chenle. But you slapped them at thought out of your mind as soon as possible. That night the three of you bonded over stupid games online that were impossible to beat, and dumb puns and phrases that even the corniest person wouldn’t make. And that’s how you and Chenle became friends.
Whenever he saw you every corner of his face would light up and he’d probably be the happiest person in the entire universe. He would never leave your side and always made sure you were safe. When you walked past cars he’d make sure he was closest to the road, just in case. He held doors open for you, texted you to make sure you had eaten, reminded you to drink water (even if you already had) and always, ALWAYS, made sure no one overstepped your limits and boundaries, which sometimes meant telling the boys to take it down a notch, in private, of course.
You and Jaemin were walking home from school, talking about all kinds of different things. Jisung was at dance practice, so he couldn’t make it today. As you two were walking home, you guys heard whimpers. It definitely wasn’t from an animal, but a human. “Wait, Jaemin. Do you hear that?” You said stopping. “If you’re just gonna tell me how nice the quiet is i don’t wanna hear it. You asked about my day and im telling you.” He said with a huff. “No not that shut up. It’s sounds like... crying? Or something like... i don’t know, whimpering or whining?” You said tilting. With a scoff jaemin said “Well i don’t hear anything and i think this is your way of-“ “Close your mouth and open your ears.” You said nodding. When he finally listened his eyebrows furrowed. “What is that?” He asked looking around. “We probably would have known a lot sooner if you he kept your mouth shut but noo.” You said looking for where it was coming from. Jaemin mumbled something under his breath and walked with you, trying to find the noise.
“Oh shit.” Jaemin gasped. “Did you find it? Oh my god please don’t tell me we found a dead body.” Jaemin shook his head at your comment. ran up to small alley way between your school and an old building, where jaemin was. when you approached you started to hear the sniffles of the person in the alley. Once you had fully reached the ally and realized who it was, your heart broke in almost 10000 pieces.
“Chenle oh my god. Are you ok? What happened?” He slowly looked over, and that’s when you noticed the blood coming from his nose, the purple that had formed around his eye. and all the tiny scratches on his face. You crouched down to him, letting the tears slip from your eyes. You cupped his face and made him look at you. “Noo, dont cry please. I’m ok i really am! See!” He said wiping the remaining tears and lightly slapping his face while giggling a bit. But neither you, nor jaemin, who was looking away not able to see one of his closest friends like this, were laughing. “Chenle. Who did this to you?” You said pulling his hands down and placing yours back on his face. He sighed and darted his eyes down. “It doesn’t matter.” You sighed and let go of his face, which slightly darkened his already gloomy mood, and pulled jaemin to sit with you in front of chenle.
“Zohng Chenle. This is the only thing in mine and jaemins entire world right now. Whatever happened to you and who did it matters to us and every other person who knows you. It matters because whoever did this deserves the most harsh punishment they can get for hurting the actual form of happiness in so many peoples life. What happened.” Chenle smiled slightly while looking at you and jaemin. ‘I matter.’ He thought staring at jaemins gloomy face, then back to yours. Which is when he opened up. He told you and jaemin all about lucas and how he bullied chenle simply because he made a bigger impact on your life than yukhei did. He beat him up today because apparently Yukhei saw chenle hold your hand and kiss it.
“I knew it. I knew it. I FUCKING KNEW IT! THAT ASSHOLE IS GOING TO PAY AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME!” You said suddenly standing up. Jaemin quickly grabbed your hand and spoke after a while of being quiet. “Y/n, he’d crush us all if we even breathe the same air as him. You can’t go. We should get johnny or something.” You groaned. Why did johnny always have to be the solution to every problem. Johnny was mark’s older brother. The older brother everyone wanted. You decided that you wanted to get chenle home and safe, and you’d deal with yukhei the next day. “Let’s get you home ok? We’ll deal with yukhei tomorrow after school.” Chenle sighed and he stood up and wobbled a bit.
Once you got to his house he rushed inside slightly smiling and waving before opening his door and running in. When chenle was gone jaemin pulled out his phone and called mark.
“Uh yeah actually, can i talk to johnny?”
“Oh my god dude you’re so dramatic, it’s actually important this time i swear.”
“Chenles getting bullied and johnny is scary sometimes. we need him.”
Jaemin finished up the call soon after. “Johnny said he’ll be waiting after school.” You sighed and looked down as you and jaemin continued walking. “Hey it’s ok.” Jaemin said putting his hand on your shoulder. Looking over st him you sighed “I just hate that this is all happening because chenle is friends with me.” Jaemin and you both stopped, waiting for a few cars to pass. “This didn’t happen because he friends with you, this happened because lucas is a jerk and hate when other people are happier than him.”
When you arrived home you looked for jisung, hoping he would be there. “Dad! When does Jisungie get back?” You yelled. “About 5:30! Why?” your dad responded. “i just miss him!” You shouted back. You heard your dad chuckle from the other room as you did stuff to try and distract yourself from the main problem at hand.
You heard the front door open and you checked the time on your phone ‘5:33 thank god.’ You thought standing up and peeking out your door, hoping to catch jisung walking down the hall. He turned the corner walking backwards, still talking to your parents about what he learned at practice. “Ok i’m gonna go shower.” He said laughing at something previously said. “Jisung.” You spoke as he turned. Surprised to see you waiting for him, he had a questioning look on his face. “Yes? were you waiting for me?” He asked curiously. Pulling him into your room, you shushed him. “Ok did you,like, kill someone?? what happened?” rolling your eyes you closed your door. “This is worse, you know lucas, right? Well he’s beat up chenle today.” You said staring at his face. the curious look on his face soon turned into an angry frown. “Why would be do that? chenles like the best person in the entire world?” You shrugged and sat on your bed and looked down sighing. “Hey,” your younger brother spoke, sitting next to you, “It’s ok. It’s not your fault, it’s lucas’ for being such a dick.” You shook your head, holding back tears. “It is my fault ji, chenle said lucas was bad that chenle got close to me so easily. i guess he thought beating up chenle would be a good idea.”
Jisung scoffed “If lucas thinks you’d still even wanna be friends, he’s delusional.” You nodded in agreement. After jisung cheered you up he excused himself and started gettin ready for bed.
You layer under your phone staring at you and chenles messages from earlier that day:
You: Are you sure you don’t wanna walk home with jaemin and i? i know your not that close with him but he’s actually pretty cool
Chenle: na it’s ok, i have to do something later anyways
You: ok,,, see you tomorrow ily 💓💓
You groaned ‘I knew i should have made him walk with us anyways.’ you thought.
That night you had trouble falling asleep. Your thoughts were on your best friend and his well beings. You were so deep in thought you didn’t even notice your eyes closing and drifting off into a quite sleep.
The next morning you awoke to your phone going off like crazy. ‘Why did i have to pick the loudest alarm good god.’ you thought, rolling over and turning it off. You dragged yourself out of bed and got ready for school. Once you walked out the door, you saw chenle already waiting for you and jisung, with the biggest smile on his face. You scanned his features, noticing that all of his wounds were gone. “Chenle what happened to your-“ “Oh my god look at that squirrel! It’s so cute!” Chenle said, interrupting you. You sighed and remembered that this would all be over after the last bell.
The day went by in a flash and as soon as it started, it ended. You were holding chenles hand and swinging it while talking about some random thing that happened during your 6th period. His smiled was so bright and happy, you completely forgot about lucas. Until you saw johnny and mark, that is. “Oh hey, it’s johnny!” Chenle said excitedly. You turned your head and saw johnny waiting with jisung, jaemin, jeno,haechan, renjun, and mark. “Oh shit i forgot.” You stopped walking and remembered the plan you guys made. “Uh chenle you go and wait with them, i’ll be right back.” Chenle looked over at you confused, but nodded and make his way over to the group of boys, screeching and laughing.
You turned, quickly looking for lucas. “God where is he when i actually want him.” Soon you spotted him and ran towards him. He was hanging around two other guys, who were definitely not in school anymore. You didn’t recognize either of them though. One had the softest smile, and from what you could hear, the cutest voice. The other had a bit of a deeper voice, and somewhat resembled a bunny. “Yukhei,” You started coming up behind him and hooking your arm with his. he looked over, annoyed that someone disrupted his conversation, but smiled when he saw it was you. “Oh, hey, y/n. what’s up?” he asked, smiling at you. You smiled “Nothing, who are they?” You asked pointing at the two guys. “Oh that’s jungwoo, and that’s doyoung.” you nodded and said hi, which they responded with a kind hello. “Uh my friends and i wanna talk to you... like... alone.” You said nervously. Lucas gave you a questioning look with a smile “Ok... You guys wait i’ll be back.” He said to the older boys. you smiled at them before turning and leading yukhei to your friends.
When chenle was you walking back with yukhei at your arm his head dropped, along with his stomach. He tried to hide behind johnny without making it obvious. “She’s coming guys.” Chenle heard mark say. Once lucas saw johnny he started to slow down his pace. “Why, why is he here?” You continued walking, pulling lucas with you. “Lucas, my old friend.” Johnny said walking towards you and him. Johnny opened his arms for a hug, which lucas hesitantly accepted. “H-hey man.” You quickly let go of lucas and stepped back next to jisung. “How have you been dude?” Johnny asked as he pulled away. Yukhei scanned everyone’s face. All but chenle, who just looked anxious, looked very unhappy. “I’ve been... good. What are you doing here?” lucas said. Johnny shrugged and casually spoke “I’ve heard that you beat up someone here? Chenle, if im correct.” Yukhei laughed nervously and said “Well, i... um...” you crossed your arms and blurred out “Just admit it ok? We all know you did it.” he gulped and looked at chenle, who was trying extremely hard not to be seen. Yukhei sighed and said “It’s not even my fault. He’s so small and annoying and loud and happy and he managed to get close to y/n so quickly and easily. Heck he can kiss her hand and hug her and play with her hair, but i can barely get her to look at me, let alone do all of that.”
You scoffed “Ok but did you really think that beating up chenle was gonna get me to even wanna look your way?” he looked down and put his hand on the back of my neck “I was hoping i could get him to stay away from you at least.” Rolling your eyes you turned towards chenle and hugged him. Once you let you you grabbed his hand and walked away. While leaving you could hear lucas yelling and johnny calmly trying to shut him up.
You took him to a park that wasn’t too far from your school. “Chenle,” You started, as you walked over to the swings. “Yeah?” he said blushing and quickly looking at your hand, which was still connected to his. “I like you.” You quickly spoke. His eyes widened and he looked over at you, who had looked away, almost breaking your neck. “I like you too.” He said smiling. Looking over at him you smiled back. “Will you go on a date with me?” He asked squeezing your hand. “Of course i would.” You said grinning.
From then on, if chenle wasn’t there, neither were you. If someone couldn’t find chenle, they start looking for you, knowing that he’d be right by you. You two were the most inseparable you’d ever been, and nothing was gonna change that.
