Our Girl Book 1 {Stray Kids Fanfiction}

Chapter 9: It Was You

She hadn't heard the sound since it woke her on that painful night. That sound had given her a moment of peace after such a horrible experience. Everything was such a blur that she never knew the source, but that sweet melody never left her ears.

She searched through the house, following the sounds. As she was scurrying through the hall, Changbin stepped out of the bathroom. Her face smashed directly into his chest, causing him to stumble backward. He grabbed the doorframe with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Lily to break her fall. "Whoa, Princess, are you ok?" Changbin asked as he stabilized her.

Embarrassment flooded her face. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mea-." Her breath hitched when she realized that he was only wearing a towel around his waist. She hadn't seen him in anything but a loose t-shirt. She knew he had muscles, but nothing could have prepared her for the dark, toned, perfectly chiseled statue that stood before her. She was completely oblivious to the fact that she was panning her eyes over his wet skin. She softly bit her lip as a warm tingle flushed through her.

Changbin definitely noticed her flustered reaction, and an amused smirk crept to the corner of his mouth. He gently cupped her jaw and directed her gaze to his. When he looked into her eyes, he found a look of desire and curiosity. The tension grew between the two for a brief moment before Lily caught onto what was happening and pulled away shyly. "I'm sorry, Binnie, I have to go." She nervously exclaimed as she continued her search.

Chan had turned the corner and witnessed the heated interaction between the two. He froze when he saw what was happening, but a smile quickly formed on his face. The two men watched with amusement as she scurried down the hall. Chan's chuckle alerted Changbin of his presence. He snapped his head back and found Chan arching his brows at him with a joyous expression. "You saw that, huh?" Changbin chuckled.
Chan stepped closer and laughed. "Yea, yea I did."

Lily made it to the end of the hall where she found an open door. The beautiful sound flooded out of the room. She hurried in to find Han at his desk, facing away from the door, singing to the top of his lungs.
"It was you!" Lily screamed in excitement.

"Ahh! Fuck!" Han yelled as he jumped from his chair and turned toward the door. "Fuck, Lily you scared the shit out of me!"

Lily was caught off guard, not intending to scare him, however she couldn't contain her laugher. "I'm- I'm so- I'm so sorry!" She managed to choke out through her intense laugher.

Her laughter caused an open smile to engulf Han's face. "You're adorable, you know that?" He waited until she composed herself before asking, "What was me?"

Lily wiped a tear that had formed from her laughter and replied, "Your singing! I never knew it was you that sang to me but I couldn't get it out of my head! You sound so amazing! Can you sing to me please, please, please!" She was so excited that she barely took a breath between her sentences.

Han gushed at her excitement and took her hands and walked backward, leading her to sit on the edge of the bed. He walked to the corner of his room and pulled out a guitar.

Her eyes widened and she squealed, "You play guitar too!"

He chuckled and nodded before asking, "Any requests?" He settled back into his chair the desk.

Lily shooked her head and shrugged. "I don't really know anything. Never had much time to listen to music."

Han immediately began strumming the most calming melody. Lily closed her eyes and swayed to the rhythm. When he began singing, chills flooded her body in waves. The soothing vibrations of the soft guitar strums intertwined with the smooth, clear tone of his flawless voice sent her into a state of pure bliss.

Han never took his eyes off of her. Song after song, he watched as she relished in his music. He began to sing a song that he had written years prior when he was in a depressed state. He immediately regretted his song choice when he noticed Lily's breath start to hitch, and a tear rolled down her cheek. He immediately stopped. He put the guitar to the side, and stood to go to her. She opened her eyes and found Han taking a seat next to her on the bed.

Lily embarrassingly wiped her tears. "I'm sorry, it was beautiful."

"Hey, don't apologize. Are you ok?" Han asked as he cupped her cheek and wiped a tear with his thumb.

She stared for a moment, then deeply sighed. "I'm fine." She said unconvincing.

Han narrowed his eyes are her. "You're not, and we know you're not."

Lily dropped her head in shame. "Han, I- I'm trying to be. But I'm so confused."

"Look at me please." Han said softly as he redirected her gaze by lifting her chin. He waited for their eyes to meet before continuing. "What are you confused about?"

"This is so ridiculous." She hissed. "I'm feeling things I've never felt before and it's scaring me."

Han tucked her hair behind her ear. He knew the feeling she was referring to because he could see it in her eyes. It was this same gaze Hyunjin had told him he experienced with her.

"It's not ridiculous. And you have nothing to be scared of. And each one of us will be here to help you explore your emotions." Han said softly and confidently as he caressed her cheek. He saw her eyes trail to his lips, then back up to his eyes as if she was silently asking for him to kiss her. Hoping he was right, he cautiously leaned forward, keeping his eyes focused on hers. When she began to close the distance between them, he smiled, then took her lips into his.
