deal [stray kids hyunjin]

chapter fourteen

"you can walk her home, hyunjin. in that way, you see her house." minho said.

everyone, but hyunjin, looked at him in confusion. hyunjin looked embarrassed yet still nodded to what minho said. i, on the other hand, smacked his head with a throw pillow.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WERE READING!" i yelled,

"THE LIGHT OF YOUR PHONE WAS DISTRACTING ME!"

"THE LIGHT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THE BRIGHTNESS OF MY PHONE IS IN THE LOWEST SETTING!"

"YOUR PHONE WAS STILL DISTRACTING!"

"YOU STILL SHOULDN'T HAVE READ!"

"YO, LOOK AT JB!" jisung yelled out loud,

"WHERE?!"

my argument with minho has been long forgotten.

i didn't get to think about what it would be like to walk home with hyunjin until the end of the day. the guys constantly distracted me by bringing up topics that i find interesting. seungmin would start a conversation about day6, felix and jeongin about food, chan, changbin and han about music. them distracting me worked, obviously, because minho's still breathing.

anyway, hyunjin and i are currently walking towards my home together. i still can't believe he asked me if he could come over my house because we haven't spoke to each other since i ripped his "contract" apart. to say that the atmosphere is currently awkward between the two of us, is an understatement.

"so," hyunjin said, dragging the o's. "you're an ahgase."

"yes, i am." i nodded even if i was looking straight ahead,

"yeah, me too."

"right."

"who's your bias?"

"... maybe mark."

"maybe?"

"it changes."

"so unloyal."

"i can't help it that they're all so great!"

"okay, then. who caught your attention first?"

"the best leader."

"oh. my bias is jinyoung."

"oh, that's cool."

yeah, totally not awkward at all, right?

"hey, i actually want to tell you something." hyunjin said, taking my wrist but quickly letting it go once i looked at him.

"yeah?"

"well, actually, i want to talk."

"about?"

he kept looking up, putting his hands in his pockets, and licking his lips. i'd be lying if i said he didn't look attractive while he was doing that, but that's not what we're talking about right now. he just seems so nervous, that's all.

"um, when i start talking, please let me finish."

just because he said please, "yeah, okay."

"the first time we met, i straight up acted rude towards you and forced you to do something you didn't even want to do." he paused. i nodded at him to let him know that i'm listening and to continue.

"i dealt with the whole thing as if it was a big deal because i absolutely felt embarrassed that i exposed myself being whipped for roxy. and, i still feel the same way towards her, but she has probably moved on or something." he sighed, "all i want to say is that i'm sorry. i'm really sorry. i seriously want us to be friends and get to know each other better."

i did not see this coming. i didn't think (and i know that it's bad to judge) that hyunjin would be the type of person to do this. i am honesly shocked. what a man. hyunjin's earned my respect now because he's really sincere.

he literally admitted he's whipped for roxy. the man's in love.

"can we forget whatever happened in the past and start all over again?" he asked,

i smirked at him, "deal."
