9th member of Stray Kids // y/n

chapter 13 ~ proper jeju ahjussi

"Wha..what are you doing here ?"
Chan hugs you even tighter.

"Never leave me alone like that again, oh Y/N we missed you soo much you have no idea."
You are quick to wrap your arms around him to melting into the hug. Something you had dreamt of doing for ages, even though you had only been gone for 2 weeks. He pulls away hands on both of your shoulders and looks, staring into your eyes.

"Stray Kids is 9 not 8 and will always be 9, I've spoken to your mother and she said she will let us stay here in Jeju while we strike."
You furrow your eyebrows and look at him confused.

"Chan, what are you protesting? And what do you mean by 'us'?"

"We are protesting not being able to comeback as 9, it was Hyunjins idea."
You narrow your eyes, skeptical of the whole ordeal, he catches on pretty quick.

"Skz is 9, I seriously don't know what the company was thinking making us comeback without you. We are ride or die."

"But what if they kick us out of the company, what about the comeback, what about Stays? What if they end up putting all of us on hisatus? Did you even think about this?"

"You have to trust us with this, Skzjigi found our original contracts and we spent a whole Sunday reading through them. There is nothing about not actually participating in a comeback, the worst they can do to us is kick us out but that's impossible because in another contract it says leaving the group can only happen because of an emergency or at least 2 moths before the terminal 7 year contract expires."

"Are you sure JYP won't class this an emergency?"
He shakes his head and goes back to the boot to take out his luggage.

"Last time I checked JYP isn't Hitler, so there is no Article 46 to abuse. Come on its hello cold let's go inside."
You agree leading him up the path and into the house. Both of you are sitting on the sofa with mugs of chamomile tea.

"So how was the journey here?"

"Yea not so bad, there was a bit of turbulence but yea overall good."

"Where are the others?"

"They're coming tomorrow."
You nod your head and take a sip looking out of the window into the sea. All of a sudden you stand up.

"I'm hungry let's go grap a bite somewhere."
For the whole car journey Chan looks outside at the palm trees and the desolate beaches with white sand. The scenery juxtaposes with the gloomy weather as ominous clouds threaten to pour.

"Do locals swim here in the summer?"
Confused you take your eyes of the road for a second to see he is pointing at the dark blue waters.

"No not really, on the way back I can show you a place near the house."
He nods and you take the right junction out of a roundabout allowing you to drive on a road beside the sea and stop within a couple hundred yards at a large restaurant with a tent extension filled with tables and chairs. You stop the engine and begin climbing out.

"Now this is the place with the best mulhoe. The owner catches the fish fresh from the sea each morning."

"Looks so good I wasn't even that hungry but now I am."
You walk up straight to the counter ordering two portions and soju from the rather small menu with only 4 other dishes. You tell Chan to find a seat somewhere.

"So did Lee Know and Hyunjin learn how to use the washing machine?"

"Haha no, everyone was so busy that Felix volunteered to take the the clothes to the dry cleaners every day."
You Bury your face on your hands in dissapointment but can't help but laugh.

"You boys never fail to amaze me, you could have looked it up online, Felix out of everyone should know how to use the Internet the best."

"I'm sorry we're just lazy with out you."
