Fried Hair/ Bang Chan (Stray Kids FanFiction)✅

Chapter Nine

You were wandering around talking with the other boys, Chan's eyes following you all the while without messing Alexa up too much. His voice carried over to your best friend as she patted his shoulder, her little signal that she was done and that it was just a waiting game now.

"Is she doing okay?" Chan questioned as he turned to watch you, his eyes not bothering to find Alexa. He knew she'd answer and that made him smile softly as he waited for her answer.

"Do you see that little finger twitch she's doing?" Alexa asked. "Or that her other hand is curled into Rex's fur?"

Chan's eyes narrowed in on your fingers drumming against your camera. Your phone had been set up on a tripod giving you the chance to grab a fist full of Rex's fur, the dog pressed against you with eyes watching. With every topic you and the boys talked over, Chan watched as your fingers tightened or loosened around Rex's fur and similarly done with the camera.

"Is she okay?" Your soulmate asked your best friend.

"She's just nervous and a bit uncomfortable." Alexa answered. "But once she gets to know the boys better she'll mellow out a bit more."

"Okay..." Chan mumbled and then thought better. "Wati, you said uncomfortable? Uncomfortable how? Do you think any of the boys are making her uncomfortable?"

Alexa shook her head. "No, no they are fine. She's just not used to this much attention nor is she used to this many new people at once."

"Okay good, I was worried there for a minute." He breathed leaning back in his chair, not realizing that he had started leaning forward as if ready to jump out of his chair.

Alexa smiled and with a teasing note in her voice, said. "You're so whipped already."

He chuckled lightly. "Shut up."

"I hope you know she's going to kill you for this." Alexa flicked at the man's hair, the smile never leaving her face.

"What can I say?" He grinned. "It's better to have a fun, interesting reveal rather than just saying 'hey, I'm your soulmate.', don't ya think? That'd be kinda boring."

"You're perfect for her." Alexa shook her head.

"Thanks."

You were finally getting comfortable with the boys, you were all sitting on the floor in a half circle talking and having run. At some point you even forgot that you were doing a live until one of the boys brought it up.

"So, Y/N, how'd you decided you wanted to do youtube videos and live streams?" Hyunjin asked with wonder.

"Well, I've loved filming and taking pictures since I got my first camera and at one point I guess I started to do something similar to video diaries." You explained, carding your fingers through Rex's fur. His head was on your lap, and that was all you needed to help suppress your feelings of unease. "When Alexa and I first met, she knew I did videos but never saw me do any. That was until one day she had come over and caught me making once, and long short shots, she made me forget I was filming. We were acting like complete idiots and when I found the video the next day, I thought it'd be a fun idea to try and post it on youtube.

"All the comments said we were absolutely hilarious and I was surprised at the number of views I got within a week of posting it. So I tried another video, this time by myself, and to my surprise it got the same amount of views and comments. The number of followers I had tripled and they kept telling me how easy I was to relate to and that I needed to do more. My career kinda soared from there." I finished, my own viewers hadn't known the story behind why I started filming but they knew why I kept on.

"That's so cool." Felix grinned at you.

"Hey, Y/N?" It was the baby of the group who spoke.

"Yeah?"

"Wasn't your hair a light brown earlier?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said. "Why is it not?"

He shook his head and you caught Han smirking and elbowing Changbin.

"He's right, it's not anymore." Felix spoke up. "Look."

You followed the direction he pointed to right after, the full length mirrors not too far from where you sat. And so standing up, you walked over to the wall with your eyes closed. You were dreading what the color would be, you weren't ready to see just what color would be atop your head.

"If it's a color that could get me fired from the cafe, I'm killing my soulmate." You finally opened your eyes, not seeing that one of the boys pointing the camera to you. "I'm so gonna kill him!!! Alexa!!" You spun to face where you last saw your bestfriend but upon seeing what lay out before you, you saw nothing but red. "You!! You're my soulmate?!?! Oh, of course I got a kpop idol as my soulmate, I should have known with how often you change your damn hair color. Which, hot damn...no wait, how fried is your hair?!"

He grinned at you. "How fried is yours, baby girl? If I remember correctly we've been having a hair dying battle for a little over a month now."

You stomped your foot like a child making his grin widen. "Alexa! This is your fault and don't try feeding me that bullshit of you not knowing. You probably figured it out long ago that he and I were soulmates, did you?"

"It was annoying but fun." She smiled.

You let out another angered scream, Rex's nose pushing into your hand calming you a bit. You were trembling, and your anger was hiding the fact that this terrified you. You found your soulmate, you finally found him but meeting him had your chest tightening. He nuzzled further against you and you took in a few deep breaths before shooting your soulmate a glare.

"Do you know how much trouble you've gotten me into, Chan? School was hell because of the few times you changed your hair color." You told him.

"The ones I did in school were temporary." He told you.

"That's not the point." You groaned. "And then work...ugh!! I've had to wear a wig to work because they said the next time it happens again I'd get fired. I mean granted I don't need the job of streaming the way I do, but I like the cafe."

"Baby girl, you know I didn't mean to get you in trouble." He said apologetically but there was a mischievous grin spread across his face that told you he wasn't sorry in the slightest.

You frowned at him, shaking your head.

"Besides, your feisty ass liked it, didn't you." He took a step toward you.

"Don't be an asshole." You threatened him.

"I'm your soulmate, baby girl." His eyes were on you making you fidget, you loved his eyes on you like this but at the same time it terrified you. "I'm supposed to challenge you like you're supposed to challenge me. It's how we equal each other out, it's how we complete one another."

You tried staying angry but every time he used that little term, every time he used 'baby girl', it made your knees go weak. It made you fall for him a little mor and without realized it, you were matching his every step. One by one, step by step, you found yourself standing face to face with your soulmate.

"Hi, baby girl." He smiled down at you.

"Asshole." You mumbled looking up at him.

He gently reached down to your hand holding the camera, your finger tapping against it slightly. "May I?"

You understood his question, he knew what this camera meant to you. But how? And then you remembered your best friend, it would explain why he never questioned a thing about Rex either.

"She told you?" You whispered.

"She wanted to make sure you were comfortable, as do I. I just don't want you accidentally dropping it when I kiss you." He told you with a mischievous smile.

"Who said I'd let you kiss me." You growled, your other hand tightening in Rex's fur. "You just changed my hair color, again!"
