The Foreign Fanboy || Hwang Hyunjin

Chapter 11

[Chan's POV]

Today we have rehearsals on stage. We have to go to the place we have the concert the following weekend and review our spots and stuff.

We have to be there after lunch, so I thought it would be enough time for the members to prepare.

I was wrong.

I don't know what they all have been doing, but it's 12:10 pm and they're making themselves ready just now. We have to go at 12:30.

I told them we have to go at 12:15 just for safety, but as you can see, it really was needed.

Felix and I are the only ones done and are waiting with our manager and staff in the lobby of the hotel. The guys have 10 minutes left until we have to go.

Five minutes over time and the six remaining members come to us. The last duo to join us are the two maknaes and we can finally leave the hotel, heading to our destination.

~~~

We finally have arrived at the place we have the concert next weekend and we walk in the building. I think the boys haven't had a lot of sleep, because while we are walking to the stage, which is a 5 minute walk, each of them yawned at least 5 times.

The staff tells us to go on stage and rehearse what we think is needed. We have 4 hours here until the concert of today needs to be prepared, so we have plenty of time.

The eight of us get on the stage and Minho starts going through the choreo and the placing.

[Nikki's POV]

And as expected, we found a film to watch after have been looking for it for over an hour.

The film just finished and the seating position have been changed again.

Millie, who first sat beside me, went sitting before the television after she grabbed some snacks for the four of us. Paddy lays on his stomach on the backrest of the sofa, behind me. I have seated my head on my twin's lap with a bowl of chips on my stomach, which is now empty.

Paddy grabs the remote from Ian and starts looking through Netflix again. While scrolling, he moves from the backrest to the empty place on the couch next to me. Millie gets up, grabs the empty bowl from my stomach, and walks to the kitchen to put it away. Ian grabs his phone and starts scrolling through it.

I lift my head from the slightly older boy's lap, sit up straight, and watch along with him.

He opens his WhatsApp and comes along the group chat of us and Stray Kids. "Should we send something? They have rehearsals today, right?" he asks, not looking up from his phone.

"That means that they don't always have their phones with them. But let's just do it. They'll see it sooner or later," I answer. The boy opens the chat and starts typing.

I put my phone away and look at the fight in front of me.

Okay the boys were right, this is amusing to watch. But that doesn't mean that I don't find this childish.

I grab a pillow and throw it to the two boys. They freeze on the spot and turn to me.

"Let's keep it nice, shall we? Kids were watching this." The two boys look questioning to me. "What kids are here? You are a baby, not a kid," the younger boy states with a smirk on his face.

"If I'm a baby, than you're fighting one too. Anyways, I was talking about Stray Kids. They wanted a video so I filmed you and sent it in the group chat. Watch it and see how fucking stupid it looks." I smirk back at the two boys and walk away, finding Millie in the kitchen.

The slightly older boy jumps to his phone to see the video and Paddy jumps after him.

Fucking kids.

I sit at the counter, watching Millie do her stuff. I don't have anything else to do anyway.

Then my phone buzzes in my back pocket.

I open my phone and see a message. I open it and smile to myself unconsciously while reading it.

Hyunjin

Excited to see you again this Monday <3
