See You In My Dreams (Stray Kids X Reader) [COMPLETED]

Ch. 49: The Meaning Behind His Words

Jisung turns his head upon hearing the door to his studio open and, immediately, he sees you, entering with Wooseok.

He didn't get to see how tired you actually are, though, as you've already worn your business look the second before you came into his office.

"Oh, morning," he greets you, and you greet him back with a deadpan expression.

"Morning."

Jisung notices this, of course, but since it's pretty much normal nowadays (not to mention how normal it still would have stayed if he had never been involved with you in the first place), he just wears a thin awkward smile on his face before nodding to himself and turning back to his work. "Okay..." he mumbles to himself as he does so.

Meanwhile, after having set your bag down on your designated seat on his studio, you then turn to Wooseok, squatting down to his level to speak to him. "Wooseok-ah, you know the way to your uncle Chan's office, right? You think you can handle going there on your own?"

The boy looks at you innocently, before he glances towards Jisung who looks restless in his seat because of the awkwardness of the whole situation. Sensing the atmosphere and definitely not wanting to be a part of it, Wooseok then eventually turns back to you and nods. "Mm. I can go by myself."

You smile at his response before you ruffle his hair. "Good. I'll rely on you to bring yourself there then. I wish I could do that myself, but I'm rather busy..."

"I'll go," Wooseok then says, smiling as he does so.

You smile once again at him, before you remove your hand from his hair then stand up. The child then smiles at you before hopping out of the room, Jisung watching him go from behind you...

Wooseok had just left the studio, leaving you inside there with Jisung, when the boy suddenly gets a really weird idea.

He knows you had instructed him to go to Chan's office, not to mention just a few seconds ago, but something suddenly seemed to tug at him.

Instead, the boy looks down the hallway leading to Chan's office, then he looks down the hallway heading in the other way. One more look towards the way he should go and, for some reason, Wooseok decides to go the other way instead.

Maybe he just wanted to explore a bit.

Back at the studio, you had barely sat on your seat when you're suddenly reminded of what you had been planning on discussing with Jisung concerning Jeongin's debut album.

"Oh, yeah," you say in sudden realization, causing Jisung to turn to you abruptly. You then turn to him as well as you continue speaking. "By the way, this album is bound to have some ballads in them, right?"

Jisung nods. "Yeah. What about it?"

You then get into a thinking stance while standing behind your seat. "So if that's the case... We haven't even discussed about the theme yet. I mean, if we were going to write ballads, should we be writing about finding love or losing it?" You turn to Jisung, asking the question so casually and surprising him with it and your tone.

"W-what?" he asks, his voice and face not even showing his surprise... Not to mention his face slowly turning red. "Ah, well..." he then turns away from you as he scratches behind his ear. "I mean, we can write about both themes... You know, just to balance it out..."

"Oh, okay."

"I've already written one about, well, losing love, though," Jisung then continues, and you watch as he looks through his notebooks for a few seconds before he pulls one out, the page he had opened it on looking a little messy. "Though it still kinda encompasses finding it... Again, that is."
