Interruption // Stray Kids Fanfic (Minho x main character)

Chapter Twenty-four

I opened my eyes and slowly sat up, looking around me in the dim morning light. My limbs were exhausted from being tense the night before, and I felt the presence of more back pain. We had all simultaneously and wordlessly piled on the couches and fell asleep, and I was now trying to discern who's limb belonged to who. Changbin and Felix were entwined next to me, and sprawled next to them was Hyunjin, his arm on Changbin's face. Jeongin was taking up the whole other couch, with Jisung half on top of him, his legs draping off and onto Seungmin who laid peacefully on the floor. And then there were Minho and Chan next to each other on the ground, their backs against the couch. And Minho's head was on Chan's shoulder.

He looked like an absolute Angel, despite his demonic personality. All of his facial muscles were relaxed and his lips were slightly parted. He was the definition of peaceful. Not to mention his airy messy hair.

I was admiring the fineness of his clear skin when Chan began to stir next to him. He muttered a bit then started to flutter his eyes open. After looking around blankly for a few moments, he made eye contact with me and squinted. Recognition dawned and he softly smiled. After stretching his arms and slightly groaning, he turned his attention to the sleeping angel-demon next to him and softly took his head off of his shoulder. Then, after laying it back on the couch, he targeted Seungmin on the floor, and managed to prop him up next to Minho, then placed his head on the new pillow's shoulder. I laughed softly as Seungmin stirred then settled back into his new bed.

"Good morning," Chan quietly greeted me standing, and I nodded in return, also getting up.

"Are we heading over today?" I asked, following him across the floor.

"Yeah I think so," he responded. "I'm gathering everyone's stuff." He began to climb up the stairs and I followed in silence, not wanting to ask the next question.

"Um so I was wondering..."

"Yeah?"

"Am I... um... still gonna... wait no." I shook my head and restarted. "Can I still stay with you guys? You know, in the new place. I know I should leave now that I have the money but-"

Chan turned around and put his hand on my head. "Of course, Hana. You're always welcome as long as you're not in danger. We want your protection, yeah?"

I nodded, smiling. He returned it and continued up the stairs. I didn't follow but slowly began to return down them. Rushes of excitement swept through me and I could hardly contain my smile. A permanent home? With the people I loved? It seemed too good to be true. Min would be so proud of me- wait. Min?

I stopped mid step in the middle of the floor. Where was Min? I had never asked Changbin, and I had no idea if she was dying or okay. And there was Changbin still on the couch cuddling with Felix without a care in the world.

Quickly, I returned to the couches and started to shake him, impatient to know. He opened his eyes wearily and groaned, stuffing his face in Felix's hair. It would be pointless to try to get him to tell me this early in the morning. I would have to wait. How about some food in the meantime?

I walked down the sidewalk, a bag of pastries in hand, breathing in the summer morning air. A little warmer than I would have liked, but it was bearable. I was still thinking of Min as I walked up to the warehouse door and opened to find Changbin dressed and ready to leave. He immediately grabbed the bag with his eyes, and I could tell he was drooling in his mind.

"It's for everyone, not just you," I acknowledged, putting it behind my back. He pouted.

"Come on, but can I have one?"
