My Rockstar || Seungjin

Chapter 4:

SEUNGMIN'S POV:

I entered the wide, but packed room while I placed my stuff on the floor; basically my schoolbag and my guitar. Knowing and feeling that all eyes were on me led to myself becoming self-conscious.

"Hey mates! Seungmin was kind enough to get us drinks!", Chan spoke as he placed the drinks onto the coffee table.

Suddenly, one of the guys jumped up from the couch and darted towards me. Without a second to process, I was already being bear hugged by the boy.

"OH MY GOD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS CRAVING IT?", squealed the boy. After a brief minute, he was pulled away by some other taller dude.

I thoroughly observed the two guys who were now standing in front of me, the boy who had hugged me had a squirrel-like face. His cheeks were chubby and his eyes were round and sparkly, he was looking at me with a warm smile. Cute.

However, the other guy who was standing right next to him was completely the opposite. He had very sharp features like a feline. His gaze was dark, if felt like he was shooting knives at me with his eyes. I stopped to notice that his hand was tightly gripped on the squirrel boy's waist. That's when it clicked- damn, someone's overprotective.

The squirrel boy turned around and pouted to the cat guy- "Minho, how come you never get me coffee? Y'know I love to drink it!"

"I know you do, and that's why I don't get you it.", he said.

"So Minho's his name..and by what Chan said earlier-that squirrel boy must be Jisung."

Feeling the tension increasing, I decided to speak since I was going to have to do that anyway. "Uhh-I bought six drinks, there's five iced-americanos and one fruit juice. It's watermelon flavored. So you can serve yourselves."

But I soon noticed that everybody was now staring me with shocked faces- Did I say something wrong?

Chan spoke up- "How did you know I love watermelon?! Seungmin you're already making me want to recruit you!" He gave me the most hearty smile and happily accepted the juice. I was kind of embarrassed to say the least- but relieved. At least I got on their good side...well- most of them I guess.

They all started to shuffle to get a drink, at least they seemed to be enjoying them. I didn't have to worry about the whole "good first-impression" anymore.

It took a few minutes for me to fully settle in- Chan had brought a chair for me to sit on. I looked around the room, and as much as I hate to say it-I was pretty intimidated.

We were all sitting in a circle. On the right were the original four guys on the couch, Jisung was sitting on Minho's lap. And on the left was Chan sitting at the drums. I took a chance to look at the rest of the guys.

The one sitting next to Minho and Jisung looked pretty stoic. He had black curly hair and was very muscular. He also had piercings and I even noticed he had a tattoo sleeve on his right arm. He had on a black-compression shirt and black joggers, and on his head was a black cap. Jeez, are we at a funeral or something? Was I supposed to wear black too for a dress code?

When I turned to look at the last guy, I was instantly able to recognize him. He was the same dude who came late to english on Monday-he was also the same guy who I bumped into. From what I remember, we didn't really leave on good terms...

He had a long ragged grey sweater with black cargos. He was wearing a surfeit amount of jewelry and a red beanie was sitting on his long, but definitely damaged-looking blond hair. Hate to admit but he must've been staring at me since I've arrived...

"Seungmin was it? So just for the basics- we're all going to introduce ourselves. You'll state yourself first and then the rest of us will go next, then we can have a little Q&A at the end. After that you can show us what you got, alright?, Jisung said.

I nodded and took a deep breath- "My name's Kim Seungmin. I'm nineteen years old, a sophomore from JYP University and I'm currently studying the literary arts. So I'm just basically an english major. My hobbies are photography and the guitar- I like to sing too."

Everyone nodded, "That's great! So I guess I'm next? My name's Bahng Chan-but just call Chan or hyung. I'm twenty-five years old and I actually graduated college last year. I'm the leader, producer, and the one and only vocalist of Straykids! Nice to meet you Seungmin! "

"Hey! My name's Han Jisung, I'm also nineteen and I'm also a student at JYP university. I'm majoring physics and mathematics right now. I'm the electric guitarist of Straykids and I also participate in song composing as well. Very cool to meet you and thank you so much for the coffee again!"

"Wassup, I'm Lee Minho but most people know me as LeeKnow. Once I get used to you I'll allow you to call me hyung- I'm twenty three by the way. I'm a senior now and I'm studying political sciences. My position is the drummer of Straykids. And in case if you didn't catch on already, Jisung's my boyfriend- so you can back off now that I've said that. But thanks for the coffee- highly appreciate it."

"The name's Changbin. Seo Changbin. I'm twenty-two years old, and I'm a junior. I'm the only one, besides Chan hyung, who's majoring in music right now. Pretty ironic because we're all in a band. I'm the bassist of Straykids."

There was a moment of silence before Changbin nudged the last guy- "Yah- you're the last one.", he said.

"Oh yeah- uh- I'm Hyunjin, Hwang Hyunjin. I'm twenty years old but I'm also a sophomore, I just started college a little late. I'm the keyboardist of Straykids and I oftentimes help Jisung write our songs."

After all of our introductions, there seemed to be an unexpected change of plans- "So Seungmin, I know we said that you would show us your skills today-but I figured it'd be too rushed if we all just crammed it in one day.", Chan said.

"That's right, so I think the soonest you can perform would be our next band practice- which will be next friday. Today should just be a day where we can talk y'know?", Jisung added.

"Yeah dude, instead of rushing it'd be better for you and us to adjust to each other first.", Changbin also said.

To be honest- it all made sense to get to know them first. But then I saw Minho sit up and look me up and down- "Wait- Kim Seungmin right? Do you perhaps know Lee Felix?"

I paused- "How does he know Felix?"

"Uhm yes-? I do actually, he's my bestfriend...How do you-"

"You see, he's my little brother- I don't think he ever told you that his older brother is a member in Straykids. But now that I know you're friends with Felix you're on my good side." He smiled for the first time since I had been here. He must be close with Felix enough to where he can smile by just mentioning him.

I felt my tenseness fade away as the words coursed out of Minho's mouth. Now I didn't feel as awkward with him. But there was still one guy I still felt a bit tense with...

Hyunjin.

Maybe I'll try to apologize to him after and see if we can start fresh.
