Chrono (Chan x reader)

Who Are They?

Both of us woke up pretty early. Seven in the morning to be exact. We tried to go back to sleep but it was a losing battle. Accepting our fate we got out of bed and began to get ready for whatever today holds.

"So, are we just going to keep driving or should we look for places to rent and get jobs?" Lilith asks me as we exit the building.

"We should probably start looking for jobs and see what places have low rent. That way we ca-" I was interrupted by loud voices.

"Dude! We have nowhere else to go! The tread on our tires is shit, we're running out of money. At some point we have to stop" A male voice says, sounding about as drained as Lilith and I.

We look at each other and then around the parking lot. In the back corner a little behind my car is a dark grey van with tinted windows and black trim. Outside of vehicle stands 6 guys who look to be about our age. They seem frantic and tired. Like people who have been running and running and are coming to their wits end.

Curious, Lilith and I take our sweet ass time putting our bags in the car to listen to their conversation. We even pretended to be looking for something because we are extremely nosy.

"No! If we stop then it'll find us! I, I don't want to lose you guys. No one even knows what happen when Time takes you. We haven't seen Felix or Han for years now! I will not stop looking. Those are our friends, our family. We're all they have. We're all any of us have" One of the younger looking ones said, his voice cracking and getting quieter as he went on.

"Did I hear that right?" I whispered to Lilith who looks just as dumbfounded as I do.

"Those can't be the missing group of boys right?" She asked, knowing that they most definitely are.

"We have to go talk to them. Maybe they'll be useful? I mean, the more the merrier. It'd be better than just us two" I said with a shrug of my shoulders.

Lilith shrugged back and we began to walk over to the group of boys. They continue to have a heated discussion about what to do. So heated that none of them noticed we were right next to them.

"Excuse me, sorry. We happened to overhear that you're also running from Time?" I spoke up, realizing they probably wouldn't notice us otherwise.

"Um, yeah we've been running for a few years now" A boy with kind of curly hair answered, stepping towards us with a confused but worried look on his face.

"We were wondering if you wouldn't mind two extra running buddies? We escaped last night and we really don't know what to do" Lilith spoke, earning the attention of the rest of the group.

"Oh! I don't mind, do you?" The curly haired one said, turning to the rest of the group.

The others shook their heads in agreement and the boy turned back to us. They all look pretty well kept considering their situation.

"We might not be leaving just yet, I'm sure you heard that we are not exactly running as much as we are searching" The boy said with an awkward smile, scratching his neck and swaying a little.

"It's okay! I'm Y/N and this is my best friend Lilith" I responded, trying to lighten the mood and become a little less than strangers.

"Your names are beautiful! I'm Chan, the oldest of the group. I basically call the shots and act as a father figure" the curly haired one said, showing a gorgeous smile.

I smile back and get a quick look at him. He's dressed in grey basketball shorts and a black hoodie. Comfortable, good looking, and mature; that's hot.

"My name's Minho! I am the second oldest and basically act as an older sibling" Another boy said.

His eyes sparkle and his nose is so cute! Minho is dressed in black sweats and a black T-shirt. Also comfortable, good looking, and mature.

"I'm Changbin! Third oldest and the protector in a visual way mostly" He said.

Yeah, I understand what he means by that. This guy is ripped.

Lilith and I share a quick glance before the next boy speaks.

"Hi there, I'm Hyunjin! I'm the fourth oldest but technically the start of the youngest ones. My special role is really just to be there emotionally. I do enjoy painting and photography though!" He proudly stated, his smile making his eyes turn into beautiful crescent moons.

"I'm Seungmin! I am the second youngest and basically the brains. I tend to think more logically instead of with my emotions" He said with a smile, but his eyes hold no joy.

"I'm the youngest, Jeongin! My role is to be cute but when it comes down to it I am pretty helpful with plans and what not" The boy said, an adorable wide smile across his face.

But somehow his eyes hold more darkness than his smile would let on.

Glancing around at the group I take notice to their outfits. All of them are dressed in some variant of joggers, shorts, and sweatshirts in different shades of grey and black. Seems like they have a preference?

"I'm sure you heard earlier, but we are missing two of us. Han, who is the fourth youngest and Felix who is the third youngest. Han is our chaotic ball of energy. His cheeks are chubby and cute. Felix is our flower child. He has freckles across his face and is so so sweet. Felix loves everybody and is a tad emotional sometimes, but it's because he loves and cares so deeply" Chan filled us in, the enthusiasm slowly leaving his voice and being replaced by sadness.

"I'm sorry about your friends. Maybe we could help you guys find them?" I answered.

"Yeah, we have been trying to locate Time for quite a while actually" Lilith continued.

The boys looked between each other. They silently conversed about our statements. Talking with their eyes.

Chan looked to us with a faint smile and a glimmer of hope in his eyes, the same look casted over the others as well.

"We would love the help! What is there to lose at this point?" He said, waving us closer to the group so we could properly join their conversation.

Maybe things won't be so bad.
