GLITCH || Stray Kids

CH:32 ☠️

3rd Person's POV:

"You are being too much noticeable." Hyunjin said with a shake of his head and both of his hands on his hips while looking down at Iseul, who genuinely didn't give a fuck and was doing her paperwork. "And?" he scowled. "And? Won't they find you? Are you nuts?" He asked and now she sighed and looked up at him, ignoring Chanmi's whine when she threw the papers towards the poor girl, who just sorted them out.

"They will find me, and they HAVE to find me, no matter what. I am not planning to be extra serious and extra careful when it comes to them since they are the ones who want to find the divergents. I'm just testing how smart they are and how long it will take them to figure all of this out. So shut the fuck up and either help in sorting this out or just go and sleep like a princess in your room." She spat and returned back to her work.

"You are a princess, a spoiled and pampered one by her real and adopted brothers." He said referring to Changbin and Chan, who both claimed to be her brothers too, to him. "Keep telling yourself that." She mumbled not removing her gaze from the paper. "The only princess here is Jisungie. Look how peacefully he is sleeping when this boy right here is literally screaming." Sana commented while cooing at the sleeping boy, who was peacefully twerking or maybe dancing in his dreamland. Who knows?

Hyunjin shook his head. "Yah, Han Jisung! Wake up!" Jisung woke up with a flinch and looked around startled. "Did we reach the palace, yet?" He asked looking around and froze when he saw all of them giving him a side eye. "A dream. Hehe." They shook their head again at him. "Told you, he is a princess." Sana chuckled.

"Yah! Why would you wake me up?" He glared at the taller, who shrugged. "Time for us to go back to our rooms. It will be suspicious if we are not there. Seungmin and Minjee already left, and I am taking you with me." He pulled the boy up, who rubbed his eyes and nodded. He took his bag and walked out of the room with Hyunjin.

The two boys walked out of the corner and saw someone else coming too. "What?" Chanmi asked when she saw them looking at her. "Why are you coming? Weren't you helping them?" Jisung questioned, climbing the stairs. "I was, but I have to go for a night stroll right now and coming on to the work, it's almost done and will only take a few more minutes. And Sana Unnie along with Mingyu and Jinyoung are still there, so no problem."

The three walked out of their respective training rooms, so as it won't look suspicious if anyone happen to stumble across them. Chanmi, Jisung and Hyunjin met in the main hallway and parted ways from Chanmi since they were going towards the dorms and Chanmi for strolling.

The two boys walked in silence with their bags hanging from one of their shoulders, side to side. "Do you like someone?" Hyunjin looked at Jisung weirdly. "Why are people suddenly asking me this question? It's my third time today." Jisung chuckled. "Who asked you before me?" "First was Heeji, seems like she is falling for someone, second was Felix and now you." Jisung halted. "Heeji and Felix?" Hyunjin nodded and Jisung smirked.

"What?" "Both of them seems suspicious." He replied. "How?" "I saw both of them glancing at each other from time to time since some classes. Did something happen between them, or maybe something like that?" He shrugged. "I might be wrong though, but it's just an assumption." Hyunjin nodded. "You can keep an eye on them." Jisung chuckled. "I am already keeping an eye on both of them, especially Felix as ordered by Iseul."

"Good thing I am not the only one who is keeping an eye on someone." Hyunjin joked and Jisung raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" Jisung questioned and Hyunjin realized that the boy was asleep during his rambling session. "Ah, so, first I was asked by my own district to keep an eye on Hana. Second Iseul got to know about me and same day the traitors, both told me to keep an eye on each other, looking out and finding them. Third, Felix told me today to keep an eye on Iseul as she seems suspicious to him. I mean, I only have two eyes! Why making my poor eyes do so much work?" He dramatically said and put the back of his palm on his forehead.

"You know if Seungmin was here, what he would have said?" Jisung asked and Hyunjin shrugged. "Sucks to be you!" He shrieked and ran towards his room, which the taller didn't noticed they have already approached. Hyunjin stared at the squirrel boy and scowled, until his scowl turned into laughter when he saw the shorter tripping and struggling to open the door, which happened to be locked from inside by his roommate.

"You what Seungmin would have said if he saw you? Sucks to be you!" Hyunjin laughed and ran away towards the stairs to head onto the fourth floor, while placing a smack on his head, who pouted in return. "Mean." He mumbled and rubbed his head, now looking back at the dandy boy who was looking at the scene unfold dumbfounded. "Come inside and spill the tea, sis." He pulled the quokka inside and closed the door.

Chanmi walked down the hallways quietly. It was not big of a deal for her. It CCTV were always monitored properly and if there was any danger then they would know about it. She turned around a hallway and bumped into a buff body. "Ow!" she winced, rubbing her nose and the owner of the buff body seem to chuckle at her.

"You good there?" Changbin asked and she nodded still rubbing her nose. "Are you made of brick or what?" She winced and he shook his head. "Muscles and exercise only." Changbin chuckled and held her by the shoulders. "Are you alright?" He asked and Chanmi nodded.

"Were you out for night stroll?" He questioned while walking side to side with her. "Yup. Today's my duty. And I think it's yours too." He nodded. "Seems like someone keeps tab on me." He looked ahead and she shook her head. The flirty guy is back. "Nope. I don't. I happen to meet you, and no one is normally out at this time." She said and Changbin looked at her questioningly.

"We both are walking towards the training rooms. Who knows if I was going towards my own training room for something? You never know?" She chuckled at him. "Come on! I know it's your night stroll! Ours always clash together." Changbin laughed loudly but Chanmi slapped her palm over his mouth to shush him and both of them broke in small giggles.

Both of them stopped and were staring into each other's eyes. Changbin was staring at her with his sparkling eyes, admiring all of her features. "You are one of the most beautiful and kindest women I have ever seen." He said with a soft smile. Chanmi raised her eyebrow and blinked. She was flustered by his sudden revelation. "Huh?" She tilted her head.

"Cute." He smiled while staring down at her. She was feeling heat rushing up to her cheeks. "I'm not cute." She murmured. Changbin leaned closer to her, and she gulped and looked him in the eyes. "I don't know what will happen after this, but now I can't seem to control myself. It's been a very long time and I want to let you know that I, Seo Changbin, likes you a lot, Oh Chanmi." Chanmi's eyes widened as the size of saucers, and she stared at the boy dumbfounded.

She didn't know what to say. Of course she had a crush on him as well, but his sudden confrontation in the middle of the night in a dimly lit hallway of their dangerous wing seems to amuse her. She gulped and was thinking about what to say to him. She looked back at the boy but caught glimpse of the transparent door of the training hallway and saw Mingyu and Iseul coming out from Iseul's training room.

Of course, they would have finished the work and not would be heading towards their rooms for a good night sleep. But if Changbin sees them together, Iseul will look more suspicious to him and the others. The two were unaware of their presence yet. Changbin nudged her and she looked him in the eyes. "It's okay if you reject me, but at least think about it. I promise we will still continue as friends, but I want to let you know about my feelings as I don't want to feel burdened or something." He said and smiled softly.

"I will honestly hold no grudges." He said and was about to turn towards the door, but a sudden action caught him completely off guard when Chanmi connected their lips together. He froze for a second and was processing what just happened. After he realized, he wrapped his arms around the girl and kissed her back.

Chanmi saw Iseul and Mingyu noticing them, and both of their jaws feel open. It was quite amusing for them to see her kissing someone, more precisely Changbin, whom she always found attractive. She signaled both of them to leave with her eyes and fingers and the two nodded with a smirk and left not after giving her a thumbs up. Chanmi and Changbin broke from the kiss, and he looked at her with red coating his cheeks.

"I, Oh Chanmi, think I like you too, Seo Changbin."
