Stray Kids | i hate to admit

Mixtape: On Track | 2 | Changbin

Hmm... Do I like him or no? I can't tell.

Changbin was confused. Ever since that day he thought Jeongin asked him out, he had been occasionally thinking back to the interaction, trying to figure out whether he likes him or not.

Jeongin was definitely cute. There's no doubt he's attractive.

Good sense of style, very friendly and sweet.

Changbin even asked Chan about it, but that conversation went nowhere.

All throughout the movie night, he tried to see if he would feel anything for Jeongin. But overall, it was regular. They all had a fun time, laughing, drinking, joking, and teasing Jisung about kissing.

There didn't seem to be any tension between them, even though they sat together on the floor watching the movie. No fingertips brushing awkwardly while reaching for the popcorn. No eyes lingering shyly while drinking their beer.

Maybe I was imagining it, Changbin thought to himself.

Maybe I just want to be in a relationship.

He decided he would let it go and enjoy their growing friendship and the movie together.

Although the first movie was action packed and exciting, the second movie put everyone straight to sleep. Mainly because they had been drinking for a while.

Jeongin woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in his back from falling asleep on the floor. He looked around the dark room with messy hair and squinted eyes.

Chan was knocked out on the single couch chair with Seungmin by his leg, leaning against the couch on the floor. His head was on Chan's thigh and Chan had one protective arm thrown on the younger shoulder and back.

Fuck, what he would do to trade places with his best friend right now.

He could honestly stare at Chan sleeping for hours.

He shook his head, trying to snap out of it.

Jeongin thought to place a blanket over Chan, but that would be weird, right? Plus, there was only one blanket in the living room, and he saw Changbin crouched on the floor next to him with no cushion.

He decided it was safest to cover Changbin since he looked the most uncomfortable, that way there would be no misunderstandings.

He gently grabbed the blanket and tried to place it gently over Changbin without disturbing him. As soon as the fluffy blanket touched his body, Changbin woke up, startling Jeongin.

They stared at each other, trying to figure out what was happening.

Changbin was about to say something but Jeongin quickly placed a finger over Changbin's lips, hushing him silently. He pointed at Chan and Seungmin sleeping next to them. Changbin was slightly taken back by the gesture and in his tipsy and sleepy state, he didn't know what to make of it.

He looked over his shoulder to see the other two sleeping and nodded, making sense of the situation. Changbin took the blanket off and stood up. He covered Chan with it, careful not to cover Seungmin's face and took his own jacket off to cover Seungmin as well. The wide jacket covered Seungmin perfectly, the kid was basically half his size.

They tiptoed over to the kitchen, as to not disturb anyone.

Thinking back on the gesture, Changbin thought it was rather intimate. He touched his lips as he walked behind Jeongin, trying to figure out if he felt something for the other. But he was too tipsy to think about it right now.
