Family? (Stray Kids OT8 x Reader)

||29||

Chan sat there in silence, knowing damn well that his confession was either going to make or break his relationship with Y/N. Chan looked at each and every one of the hybrids, some of them had smirks plastered on their faces while the others had a look of worry on their faces. Chan knew that most of the others also liked her, but he had to be selfish in this moment.

Jeongin also sat there, his heart beating faster than it already was. If Chan did like Y/N, there was a high chance she would like him back, and that would therefore mean that Jeongin would never have a chance with her. Jeongin sighed and leaned back into the couch. If she was happy with Chan, Jeongin would be happy for her.

With a sigh, Chan cleared his throat and spoke up, "Yes. I do like her."

Jeongin sighed and looked down, tears threatening to well up in his eyes, while Seungmin sat there, processing the information. Felix and Hyunjin, looked at each other with smiles, but their glossy eyes told each other different stories. Changbin and Jisung smiled polietly at Chan, but even with them being a little awkward with Y/N, still felt a little disappointed at Chan's quick confession. Minho's smirk grew wider as he silently motioned a 'yes' with his arms, but deep down he too, was just like Jeongin.

Y/N smiled, "I hoped you liked me," she spoke, her voice growing louder with every word.

Chan looked at her with wide eyes, "You did?" he asked, studying her face to see if she was just trying to comfort him or if she actually did feel this way for him.

She nodded her head and cupped his face. "I've always liked you Chan," she whispered, giving him a little kiss on the forehead. The hybrids all silently watched the moment, trying to stay happy for Chan, but they all knew how badly they wanted to pull the two apart and confess their feelings for Y/N.

"But," she spoke, looking away from him, "as I said before, I like some other people," she whispered, leaning away from his face.

Chan furrowed his brows and looked at her in confusion, "What other people? Who are they? Do I know them?" 

Chan's heart was beating faster. He was happy she liked him back, but he was also a bit agitated at the fact that she might like other people other than him. Chan had an idea of who all she was going to say, but he wasn't fully sure if his guess was correct.

"That's an answer for another time Chan," she said, looking away from him, "let's continue the game?"

Chan nodded, slightly disappointed of her answer, but he didn't want to show that to her. He wanted to make her feel like her opinion and thoughts mattered and it wasn't only him that had a say in everything. He wanted their future together to be perfect.

Next, it was Minho's turn. The questions that he had gotten asked were all stupid and irrelevant questions such as 'What's your favourite colour?' or 'If you weren't a black panther what would you be?" Minho answered that his favourite colour was mint, and that sparked a whole debate whether or not mint ice cream was good, and to the black panther question, he answered 'King Of Wakanda,' to which some groaned annoyed and the rest cheered him on for being so ambitious even though that place didn't really exist.

Jisung looked at him, "Who's your favourite from here other than Y/N of course," he asked, looking deeply into Minho's eyes.

"Oh, I can't answer that," Minho whispered.

"You have to," Changbin spoke up.

"Don't worry, we won't cry or anything," Felix said, trying to reassure him no one's feelings would be hurt.

"Fine, but you all asked for it," Minho started. Minho closed his eyes for a moment and started thinking about everyone in the family. 

Chan; he was extremely of help to Minho, but he can get a little aggressive and mean when he's angry. 

Changbin; they loved each other before their whole fight happened, so now it was awkward between them. 

Hyunjin; he was nice, but he was a little too clingy for Minho's taste.

Jisung; he was shy and reserved, but when he had gotten used to people, he would never shut up.

Felix; he was a little sunshine in Minho's life and could make great brownies, but Felix was scared to talk to Minho for some reason.

Seungmin; he was the most mature in Minho's opinion, despite being the youngest, but he could get a little possessive with Y/N.

Jeongin; he was smart, cute, and friendly, but the man was the kid dumb if he had thought no one knew about his massive crush on Y/N.

Minho sighed and ran his hands through his tangly hair. "Jeongin and Jisung," he said, opening his eyes.

Jisung's eyes lit up as Minho said that and he ran to hug him. "It better have been me, I'm your damn roommate," Jisung spoke, turning around to collect some money from the hybrids.

"Wait? I'm your favourite?" Jeongin asked, slightly taken aback from the confession. Jeongin stood still, with his mouth agape, as the rest of the hybrids reluctantly placed money onto his shoulders and arms.

"Wait, why are you guys giving them money?" Minho asked, confused.

"We made a bet," Hyunjin whispered, "you closed your eyes for like 10 minutes and we were bored."

Felix sighed, "I thought I would be your favourite! I guess no more brownies for you!"

Minho gasped, "Hey, hey, come on now. I was being truthful. You would be 3rd on my list."

"Sure I would," Felix said, skeptically while rolling his eyes.

"Alright now onto the final question," Changbin spoke, "you like Y/N right?"

Minho smiled, "Of course I do, she's my best friend."

Chan laughed, "Oh no. Changbin meant you liking her in a not platonic way."

Minho furrowed his brows in confusion.

"You're a little slow aren't you? They're asking if you like her in a romantic way," Seungmin spoke, looking a little annoyed.

Minho smirked and thought to himself for a while. 'She said she likes other people and not only Chan. That make out session we had obviously told me that she did like me. I should go for it. But, should I? Nah, I shouldn't. Wait, shit, I should. Fuck this, I'm saying it.'

"Yeah, I actually do."
