*I'm sitting in my living room, stray kids on full blast on my TV 😍*

Chan didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

Nor did Seungmin.

But Chan knew he had to prove Seungmin's worth to him somehow.

The only problem was, he didn't know how to do that. The through was last minute and he had never meant to say it aloud.

So Chan did the only thing he could think of.

Chan carefully grasped the younger's hand and led him out the back door (that's what's playing rn lol) of the dorms, and helped him into his car.

Did the managers know that they were leaving? No. Did Chan care? Absolutely-the-fuck-not.

So here they were at 8:00pm, at Han River, lying in the grass, gazing up at the stars.

"You know... You really are special, " Chan started off slowly, turning on his side and studying the boy's beautifuly shaped face.

Seungmin only let out a bitter laugh, turning to look at Chan. "You are so wrong about that but thanks I guess... "

"Why do you think I'm wrong? " Chan sat up abruptly, Seungmin follow8ng immediately after.

"It's just... I don't see what you mean by special... There's never been something that I've done to deserve that title... "

"Seungmin, you are so dead wrong about that, " the older said, facing his favorite person fully. "You are probably more special than our entire team combined. "

Seungmin let out a low breath, suddenly not being able to breathe correctly. Chan watched his face color merge to a lovely pink.

"Chan... "

"Seungmin, I'm serious. Not only are you absolutely gorgeous, but you're vocals are by far the best in the team's. You have worked so so hard and it's definitely payed off. And I lo-everyone loves your smil-"

"My smile is the worst thing about me, " Seungmin interrupted, breaking eye contact, delicate fingers making their way to the grass, tangling themselves in the green fray.

"I might be bias saying this, but your smile is by far the prettiest I've ever seen, " Chan whispered, looking back up at the twinkling night.

When he got no response, Chan lifted his head to peer at the younger's face. He could faintly see the glistening of fresh tears pooling down the singer's cheeks, distracting from the new coat of blush that had spread across his face.

"Seungie... " Chan smiled softly, pushing a bit of Seungmin's hair behind his ear. Ever so slowly, he crept closer until his lips brushes against the younger's ear.

"You're so beautiful. "

After hesitating for a moment, Chan finished his sentence with a kiss to the temple, as if it were the period mark, and slowly stood up, reaching out for the red-faced boy and pulling him to his feet.

"Stop doing that, " Seungmin muttered, retracting his hands.

"Stop doing what? " Chan asked, nervous that Seungmin had suddenly found out about all his deepest, darkest secrets and hidden feelings. Although, he wasn't too opposed of the idea.

"Making my heart flutter. I just got over two people and I'm meeting up with the guy who fucking raped me soon. I really don't need another thing that could cause me a heart attack, " what had meant to be a joke, clearly wasn't taken as one when Chan lowered his head and mumbled an apology before quickening his pace away from the river.

"Chan? You know I meant it as a joke, right? "

"Chan, " Seungmin grabbed onto the older's hand to slow him to a halt, failing to notice the panic that spread across the leader's face.

"Channieeeeee. Chan-Chan, babyyyy, baldie-"

"Okay first of all, I am not bald-"

"Will you listen to me?? I'm trying to tell you that I was only joking. Chan, you look like you're about to have a panic attack-Chan? "

Chan slowly brought his free hand up to cover his face as his shoulders shook with his quiet crying. "I-im sorry. I was so insensitive, I didn't realize that my actions might hurt you or upset you... "

"Chan look at me now please, " Seungmin sighed, grabbing his other hand and forcing the older to look up. When that didn't work, he grabbed his face and forced him to meet his eyes. "You could never hurt me. Not like everybody else. You don't give me any trauma or PTSD so don't worry. It's okay, okay? " Seungmin asked, tilting his head to the side.

Chan chuckled slightly at the puppy-like action. "Y-yes, " he said, smiling a bit.

The two stated at each other for a moment, caught in each other's gaze.

Chan dared to let his eyes flicker between his eyes and lips but almost immediately afterward, Seungmin cleared his throat and looked away, taking several steps back.

"I think we should-"

"Yeah, " Chan said, not wanting to let him finish his sentence.

No way that just happened.

He totally leaned in..

Right?
