deal [stray kids hyunjin]

chapter thirteen

i get to spend the whole day at home every sunday and i don't even get to stay in bed too long. i help out my mom with chores, answer unanswered homework, and study because i really have to maintain my grades. i agreed to come over minho's today because i know i could just sleep in the middle of watching whatever.

when he says come over my house, i automatically translate it to parents are out of the house and i need company because that's what it usually means. sometimes it can mean my mom wants to see you or i need help with my babies. sometimes jungkook comes along whenever i get asked to come over his house, but it would always be just the two of us.

and, because his house is technically my house at this point, i went straight inside the house as if it was my own, dressed up in shorts and a tank top. i even crouched down to pet and talk to the cats. after i did all the crouching and talking, i yelled "minho, where are you?" like a mad woman before realizing that there are other people in his house.

the other people are stray kids and i didn't even know they're invited.

and, yes, they all saw me do everything i just did and i am beyond embarrassed.

stray kids minus hyunjin. i didn't see him sitting with them, so i'm guessing he's not around. good.

i mean, he could be in the bathroom.

yeah, no. i don't care.

i totally forgot that, unlike myself, minho is cool and has new friends.

anyway, after i realized that they are there, i ran straight to minho's room and snatched a hoodie. i was going to wear his sweatpants, but he entered his room as i was about to wear it and told me the hoodie could suffice. we argued for a bit about it, but i ended the hoodie and sweatpants argument with a groan and started a new one.

"why didn't you tell me they would be here?!"

"you wouldn't have come if i did!"

"yes, i would!"

"LIAR!"

"YES, I WOULD!"

"you don't even consider them as friends!"

"that's because i don't know if they consider me as their friend!"

"wh- that doesn't even make sense!"

"you don't make sense. you should've told me they're here and i wouldn't be wearing a tank top and these shorts!"

"WHY WEAR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"

"BECAUSE IT'S HOT, YOU DIMWIT! PLUS THIS IS YOUR HOUSE AND NO ONE'S USUALLY HERE WHEN YOU ASK ME TO COME OVER."

"STOP ARGUING!" chan yelled from the living room. "YOU'VE BEEN AT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES NOW."

i glared at minho and muttered "i'm taking your cats." before heading out his room.

"y/n!" felix exclaimed once i went to the living room. he ran up to me and engulfed me with an embrace in an instant. i didn't know how to react because the only person i get to hug a lot is jungkook and he's been around my life since day one. i don't even get to be all sweet around my mom that much because she's not very affecionate. minho? rarely. as in total eclipse rare.

and because i don't greet people with a hug and have much experience with other people in the hugging department, i stood in felix's embrace feeling very uncomfortable.

felix is just a very warm guy and he's just so pure. sunshine is his middle name and felix comes along with neverending smiles and hugs. he's a happy kid.

i kind of felt guilty that i'm just standing as he's hugging me, so i patted his back.

"let her go before she decides to kill you." minho said, felix just giggled.

i'm seriously going to take, at least, one of his cats home.

"y/n's not dangerous." chan said,

"just unpredictable."

where did he come from?

"hey, you're here!" changbin exclaimed, pointing at hyunjin who's standing behind me. i spun around to look at him and he's already looking at me.

"hi, y/n." he hesistantly greeted, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.

he looks so nervous and i haven't even done or said anything. just what in the world does minho say about me? obviously not very good things.

"hi."

when i said that, he exhaled in relief. i looked at him weirdly before walking towards the couch. i really don't understand hyunjin's personality.

"yo, y/n! what's up?" jisung yelled,

"hi han." i replied, "what are we watching?"

"we don't know yet." seungmin replied,

"in that case, let's just watch music bank."

minho groaned, "why?"

"um, hello? got7?"

"that's today?!"

"wait, you like got7?" hyunjin asked, eyes wide while looking at me.

"like? she's obsessed." minho said, emphasizing the word obsessed. i hit him with a pillow. "you're annoying."

"no, you are."

"STOP!" chan yelled, "let's go watch music bank now, shall we?"
