But I'm okay {Stray Kids Spanking Story}

Empire State of Consciousness {Seungmin}

// Third POV //

"I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!"

"Yongbok!"

"What?!"

Felix got a nervous feeling in his stomach when he heard I.N snicker.

He swallowed and looked down from the tall height to see Minho's eyeballs giving him a warning. Also to say that he didn't appreciate how Felix addressed him just now.

"My bad, hyung." Felix corrected swiftly, the backpack straps on his shoulder were falling off onto his sun-blocked flesh. "I thought you were Jisung."

Minho knew this was just an excuse Felix gave to save his ass so he smiled smugly and patted his Australian little brother's butt, demanding that he get down from the massive rock.

This was Stray Kids's, minus Hyunjin and Chris, first time coming to America since the pandemic started.

All of them were rapidly acting with a hyperactive personality, even Minho, who was no doubt the calmest out of the eight adults.

Chris had dark black shades on his eyes. His reddish-orange colored hair was pulled back into a New York Mets cap and his Australian accent becoming more clear as he spoke with dozens of passerby's in hopes to ask for directions.

While the leader was doing that, Minho was keeping a close watch over all of the dongsaengs including Changbin, who was the third oldest but the most rambunctious when the breathed in American air.

Seungmin was sipping an ICEE, watching with disinterest as his same-aged friends were trying to climb the rocks over the border walk of Long Island's beach.

I.N made the mistaken this morning of talking to Seungmin and the singer made sure that it didn't happen again.

Despite going to both Han and Hyunjin complaining that his hyung hit him, none of the 00 line was about confront Seungmin.

Reason one is because this was going to be a fun day. They had interviews all day tomorrow and was sightseeing today, an opportunity they won't have tomorrow.

Another reason why is that Seungmin was rarely in a bad mood. Seungmin and I.N argue and banter with each other all the time, so the two friends thought their maknae was just being dramatic for the sake of attention.

Although not believing I.N, all of the friends didn't bring Seungmin into their antics or conversations.

Seungmin held his aura of "don't bother me."

The hyungs of Stray Kids were completely oblivious to what was going on with their kids. They had no prior knowledge of Seungmin's bad attitude and either they didn't care to know (since it was so far such a fun day) or they just ignored it.

All of the friends checked on Seungmin once an hour with a simple look which Seungmin rewarded them with a nod of his head.

He was really warm. Seungmin didn't know how America managed to have such hot summers, he's been exposed to maximum temperature before but America's humidity could suffocate you.

Seungmin didn't know how much more of it he could take without having a heat stroke. Not to mention that it was only 11:30 in the morning, their day had just begun and he knew that they weren't going back to the hotel until way past night time.

The ICEE he just had didn't help his exhaustion, there wasn't a cloud in sight, only layers upon layers of radioactive heat.

Stray Kids had tons of bodyguards and staff members with them to escort them everywhere. Nobody really bothered them, they had fangirls come to them and ask for a picture but none of them were forceful or made them uncomfortable. They quickly backed off after the guys gave them hugs and pictures.
