Stray Kids: Their Girl

Chapter 10: Just The Two Of Us

Minho's POV:

I smiled, laughing with BangChan as we talked about work and other stuff we needed to get done. We had a pretty packed schedule. Since our late-night recording two nights back, we had been doing numerous things to prepare for our new album release soon, so to say we were really working our asses off would be an understatement. 

Anyway, as of right now, BangChan and I were the only ones in the studio since he needed to go over some of my parts in one of the songs as it hadn't saved properly last time, whilst the others were either practising the dance or doing other publicity work that needed to be finished before the release of our album. "Hey, Minho, you okay, man? We can take a break if you want and finish this off tomorrow. We don't have a lot left to do anyway..." he asked, looking at me in concern.

It had been pretty obvious that I hadn't been getting much sleep. I had severe bags under my eyes, and my brain had been working on overdrive. I had been worrying about the reactions to our new albums and where our careers could be going, hence why I haven't been able to get a wink of sleep lately... I sighed, looking over to BangChan before thanking him for the offer, leaving him in the recording studio before making my way to the front of the building. 

After I left the building, I called up the car to take me home to try and get some rest. Once the car pulled up to the front, I quickly got in, instructing the driver to take me back to the dorms before putting on some music, plugging in my headphones and watching the bustling nightlife pass me by. I smiled, enjoying the soft beats of the song as it helped me unwind, excited to get home and get some well-deserved sleep.

When we stopped in front of the dorms, I thanked the driver, gathering my stuff before making my way up to our dorm. As soon as I entered, though, my eyes blew wide. The lights had been turned off; the only thing lighting up the room was just a few candles, the soft lighting helping my tired eyes relax. I sniffed the glorious scent that wafted through the house. My mouth watered as I followed the delicious smell all the way to the kitchen. 

Peeking into the kitchen, I saw Chija, clad in a pair of shorts and what looked to be an oversized hoodie cooking what appeared to be jjajangmyeon with what I hoped was my favourite side dish: fried chicken. The soft smile on my face widened as I quickly slipped off my shoes and ran towards her. I hugged her from behind, causing her to gasp and jump in fright.

"Jesus, Minho! You scared the crap out of me!"  She giggled, placing a hand over her heart as she turned off the heat, serving the noodles into two bowls before putting the rest into a container and placing it on the kitchen counter. She gave me a bowl and led me to the living room, where once again, I smiled in delight. 

"What... is all this?" I asked, watching as she set the dishes down on the coffee table before patting the seat next to her. The living room had been transformed; pillows and blankets were strewn about the room as she scrolled through Netlfix, a smile on her face. 

I sat down next to her, laughing lightly as she babied me, placing a blanket over my body and handing me my meal. "Well, the guys may or may not have told me about how stressed you've been lately, so  thought it would be nice just to unwind and chill, you know.., just the two of us..." She blushed, hiding her cute face as she ate her noodles. 

I smiled, scooting closer to her as we ate in comfortable silence. We ended up watching 'Hawarang' as we ate and chatted, just enjoying one another presence. Halfway through the meal, I noticed that she had some sauce on her lips, causing me to chuckle. 

"Eh? what's so funny?" She asked, a cute pout on her face. I smiled, grabbing a napkin before leaning in to wipe her lips. Staring at her face so close, I realised how stunning she truly is. She stared at me, too, her ethereal eyes boring into mine.

 I wiped her mouth, my gaze falling onto her plump, kissable lips. "You had some... sauce on your lips..." I smiled, not taking my eyes off her. Soon, we both leaned in until our lips met in the middle. I smiled, pulling her onto my lap as we continued to kiss her softly. She giggled, wrapping her arms around me once we pulled apart, gasping for air. 

"Wow... that was fun..." I teased, breathless. She laughed as well, playfully swatting at my chest as we laid down on the sofa,her body pressed on top of mine. Running my hands through her hair, I smiled, happy that I finally kissed her. "So, now what?" She asked me, biting her lip nervously. I smiled, using my thumb to pull her lip from between her teeth before responding.

  "Well, we go with the flow and see where everything goes. You don't need to worry, nothing between us will change, no matter what. We just have to make sure the others don't find out..." I sighed. I knew about how the others had deep feelings for her, like me. I had a feeling that both Seungmin and Changbin had already kissed her by how they were acting lately, but I couldn't be so certain. But all that matters to me is hers and our safety, and most importantly, our love for our dear Chija. 

I smiled, rubbing her back as we both slowly started to drift off into sleep. "It's okay, Chija-ah, you get some rest..." I trailed off, yawning as she draped a blanket over us, letting the TV playing the background as we slowly started to relax. "Get's some rest too, Minho. You need to sleep. I'm glad we got to spend some time together, just the two of us..." She sighed, her light snores filling my ears as we both fell into a nice long sleep. The best sleep which I've had all week.
