Livin' With The Stray Kids

Chapter 21

"I dare you to spend 30 minutes with Minho in the closet." Ji Yung said with a smirk plastered on her face. Changbin immediately looked up at her, both making an eye contact and smirking at each other for some seconds before breaking it.

Jisung on the other hand was too dumbfounded to say anything. He looked beside him, to see the older's reaction. Minho was smiling at him.

"Do you have a problem in completing the dare?" Ji Yung pouted at Minho and he shook his head.

"I don't have a problem. Why would I deny the chance of being the same closet with such a good looking rapper?" He joked.

Everyone cooed at his remark.

Jisung looked at him, gaping and raised his eyebrows. "I..."

"Okay, then without wasting anymore time. Go." She gestured them to go to the big closet in the spare room. "Have a good time!!" She winked at Jisung and he immediately turned around.

"That was good!!" Changbin leaned infront to give Ji Yung a fist bump.

Hyunjin couldn't help but think how Ji Yung had a great chemistry with everyone except for him, ofcourse.

"Anyways.....since they are gone, let's start randomly. Felix, you spin the bottle."

He nodded as held the bottle and spinned it.

It landed on Changbin. He has a nervous laugh plastered on his face. "Me—? I mean....."

"Binnie, truth or dare?" Felix asked, with an unreadable expression.

Changbin paused for a bit, before saying— "Truth." He tensed as he readjusted himself in his seat.

"Changbin, do you ever feel like you're not good enough as the other members here?" Felix's tone had a serious expression to it. Changbin looked at him.

Ji Yung and Chan exchanged a look and Hyunjin frowned too. Seo Jin, Seungmin and Jeongin looked equally confused.

Ji Yung waited for his answer, Changbin's eyes darted across the room to everyone and his eyes met Ji Yung for a slight second before turning back to Felix.

"Mhn. Yea." He mumbled. "Sometimes."

The atmosphere went silent and gloomy all of a sudden, meanwhile Changbin felt a bit out of place too.

Ji Yung noticed the tension in the atmosphere. Everyone was atleast fiddling with their hands or looking away. She looked at Chan leaning his head against the sofa. She had to do something to lighten up the atmosphere.

"MEE TOO!!!!!" She raised her hands up in the air. Everyone looked at her confused. However Seo Jin was smiling to himself because he obviously knew what Ji Yung was trying to do.

"ALTHOUGH, I'm a very hot, beautiful CEO, my company is successful too—but but but- Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for this company." She paused, looking at their nodding faces. "Sometimes I screw up meetings, sometimes my company strategies are unsuccessful but then I remember, PURE isn't gonna get another hot savage female CEO cause there's only one in existence babe. Lee. Ji. Yung."  Ji Yung flexed her korean-english accent, and took the falling strands of her hair from both the sides, tugging it behind her ear in a fancy way, followed by a wink.

All of them were laughing at her action now, Ji Yung sighed in relief as she felt the atmosphere lighten up, Hyunjin was smiling too, which made Ji Yung feel a whole lot of butterflies.

"Changbinnie, sometimes we all feel like that. So you're not alone. But when you do feel like that, just remember that if you weren't worth of staying in Stray Kids, you wouldn't be here. So remember who you are, Seo Changbin." She smiled at him and he returned a genuine smile.

Changbin felt satisfied, not like he would stop feeling that he is not as good as the others at once, but he will definitely remember these words, and will think about it when he feels like that.

"ANYWAYS YOU ALL!! YOU SHOULD ME EMOTIONAL KIDS INSTEAD OF STRAY KIDS. SPIN THE BOTTLE BINNIE." Ji Yung joked, her voice laced in fake frustration.

This time, the bottle landed on Seo Jin.

"Well well well." Changbin gave him a grin as he looked at his stiffened expression.

Seo Jin was an introvert, Ji Yung knew it very well. He was a good person, although he seemed inapproachable due to his dazzling looks, Ji Yung knew very well that he was such a soft person inside, because Ji Yung had practically raised him. She wanted him to have a bit of a fun, since he always used to spend his days in his cabin in the PURE office complex, so she always invited him to parties and occasions but him being an introvert, always used to sit quietly in the corner. Ji Yung eventually stopped inviting him because she knew how the younger was always uncomfortable at social gatherings.

However this time, she invited him over, because Seungmin suggested, and it seemed like a great idea because the Stray Kids were just so welcoming.

"So so, wait. Seo Jin, have you dated anyone before? Or a crush?" He hastily asked, making him flustered.

"N-No, I haven't dated anyone before." He quickly said.

"So....you do have a crush." He completed. Seo Jin just nodded, looking at Ji Yung and she winked at him.

"YAH, wait. You have a crush on Ji Yung?!!!" Seungmin almost screeched as he pointed to the look they had just exchanged.

Ji Yung stifled a laugh and Seo Jin bit his lower lip. Suddenly Chan and Hyunjin were very much interested in this conversation. They both perked up at the question, their full attention on his answer, almost boring his eyes into his skull.

"Really? You do?" Hyunjin spoke for the first making, making the other members look at him. "What? I'm just curious." He hummed.

"You all calm down. It's not me. He doesn't like girls. He does not prefer to date the female species of mankind." She rolled her eyes.

"Y-Yea." Seo Jin completed. "How can it even be Noona- she has basically raised me since I was 10." He completed, making the members shocked.

"Wait wait wait. Aren't you her assistant? Then how come-" Felix frowned, genuinely curious.

"For real!! I didn't know they were related." Jeongin hummed.

"Okay so I'll tell you all—"

"nO. Leave this topic- let's not-" Ji Yung was obviously embarrassed, because she knew Seo Jin is going to tell them a whole paragraph of 200 words praising Ji Yung and babbling how grateful he was to her.

Ji Yung obviously did not like this because she did not do anything for some kind of credit, she did, what anyone would have done that time but he interuppted her.

"Aniyo, Noona, please let me continue." He looked at her with a cute smile and Ji Yung being soft for him, couldn't say no.

"Fine. Do whatever you feel like." She pouted.
