i want you hyunjin || hyunlix

eenie meenie

- hyunjin -

     "ready?" i ask felix as we stand outside of minho, seungmin, and jeongin's apartment. the rest of the members are already inside. felix exhales a deep breath and shifts back and forth on his feet.

     "i think so," he answers, but he doesn't sound too confident. i sweep my eyes over him and notice that his hands are shaking slightly.

     "hey," i say gently. felix turns from the door to look at me. i shift the pizza boxes i'm holding into one hand and use the other to take felix's. "they're gonna love you. just be yourself and i'm sure you'll fit right in. plus, you can always tell me if you want to leave, okay?"

"okay," he confirms with a nod of his head. i watch as the tension releases from his frame. my heartbeat quickens as i admire how beautiful he looks in the glow of the streetlights. he gives my hand a squeeze before letting go. "let's do this."

i open the door and a flood of voices immediately washes over us. in the background, i can hear the familiar chiming jingle of the wii sports music. i turn to felix to gauge how he is handling all of this and see a huge grin on his face. i raise an eyebrow at him, smiling, and he nods his head at me in response.

"who wants pizza?" i call over the noise as felix and i walk in. i'm met with a chorus of, "meeee!" and "pizza's here!" the game gets paused and jisung turns around first. stepping up onto the couch, he's about to climb over it when he sees felix and immediately gets his foot stuck in the cushions.

"FELIX IS HERE!! W-WOAH-" he exclaims, falling backwards with his arms flailing. minho places his hands against jisung's back, stopping his fall before he can get hurt. he rolls his eyes at him but wears a playful smirk as he props him back upright. jeongin ignores all of this and quickly makes his way over to felix.

"hello!" he greets, bowing. "you can call me jeongin!"

"it's nice to meet you jeongin! i'm a huge fan. i love your singing voice so much," felix beams as he returns the bow. jeongin giggles at the praise, bashfully covering his face with a hand. seungmin, who's standing close behind jeongin, tries to playfully pry his hand away from his face.

"let felix see your smileeeee," he teases with a puppy-like grin. jeongin resists and backs up into the counter trying to get away, but seungmin doesn't let go. roughhousing is their way of being physically intimate so i let them do their thing. as they tussle with each other playfully, jisung finally makes his way over to felix, minho in tow.

"hey, man! i'm jisung. i've heard soooo much about you," he explains. i feel my cheeks redden but can't deny his statement. i glance at felix but luckily he doesn't look my way, instead, he greets jisung and minho happily. last but not least, chan and changbin make their way over.

     "so, you're the one hyunjin can't stop talking about," chan starts with a knowing smile. "i heard that you're a fellow aussie!" he exclaims in english and i notice felix's eyes light up. i mentally make a note to talk to him in english more.

     "pizza?" minho offers felix and me each a slice as we continue chatting with chan and changbin. we accept and once the other boys have slices of their own, everyone spreads out to find places to sit, some at the counter stools and some on the couch.

     "thank you for the food!" a cheer goes up for felix and me for bringing the pizza. i turn and thank my boyfriend for paying, which he had insisted on doing because i covered the ice cream earlier. we sit comfortably together in the corner of the couch, enjoying our pizza with a good view of everyone in the room.

     as we eat, the conversation flows naturally. the stray kids members ask me lots of questions ranging from serious to silly. seungmin asks about my family (i get along with my parents and have an older and younger sister) and changbin asks what form of potato i would be (a tater tot).

once everyone finishes eating, we all squeeze onto the big couch and continue talking and laughing together. my heart swells as i think about how lucky i am to be here and to be included. this group is a family and i'm so thankful that they accept me without hesitation. i gaze at hyunjin as he laughs and claps animatedly at something seungmin said, gratefulness swelling in my chest.

jisung hums something to himself absentmindedly before patting chan's leg to get his attention.

"oh! what's that song you were playing in the shower yesterday? the one that's like..."

     jisung breaks into song and i recognize it instantly. it's an iconic 2010 english pop song. jisung clearly doesn't know all the words but he is singing it confidently regardless.

"let me show you what you're missing
paradise
with me you're winning girl
you don't have to nahnahnah"

he sings the english words with a slightly british accent and i break into a grin.

"that's 'eenie meenie' by sean kingston and justin bieber," i chime in before singing the next few lines.

"tell me what you're really here for
them other guys?
i can see right through ya"

chan and jisung's eyes light up when they realize that i know the song as well and chan starts singing with me as jisung tries his best to follow along.

"you seem like the type
to love 'em and leave 'em
and disappear right after the song
so give me the night
to show you and hold you
don't leave me out here dancing alone"

now all of the boys are swaying side to side and clapping to the beat as changbin throws in funny adlibs between the lines. i smile around at the group as i sing.

suddenly an idea pops into my head. i gasp and unconsciously launch myself to my feet in excitement.

the rest of the group looks up at me in curiosity and anticipation. then i realize what i'm doing and quickly sit back down, embarrassed.

"sorry, sorry. i just had an idea, but nevermind-"

"no, tell us!" jeongin chimes in and the other guys nod their heads, except for minho who just looks at me with mild interest. i bite my lip, trying to decide if my idea is stupid or not. i feel hyunjin place his hand on my thigh and i wrap my fingers around it for courage before speaking up again.

"okay, so there was this tiktok..."
