deal [stray kids hyunjin]

time flies

the boys have been dealing with hyunjin's whining since forever. just when they think they're used to it, hyunjin never fails to make them think otherwise because today has been filled with his whale-like noises more than ever.

"what is your problemmmmmm" jeongin whined this time, fed up with his blond and annoying best friend who has latched himself onto him once again.

"what's taking her sooo longgg to go hereeee" hyunjin whined even more, earning a smack in the ass from minho. "you've been dating for years, you should know by now it takes her an eternity!" minho yelled,

chan giggled, amused at the sight of minho expressing his annoyance towards hyunjin while hyunjin continued whining more.

"i swear i'm going to get that airfryer" minho muttered,

"you should! i don't want to live in a world where she's not coming."

suddenly, changbin opened the door together with felix with a giddy expression and yelled, "she's here!"

y/n entered and hyunjin leaped off of jeongin, ran towards her like a madman, enveloping her small frame into a tight hug that almost made them fall out of balance. "i've been waiting for sooo longgg" he whined once more, still hugging her.

"you know how bad traffic is." she laughed, "now, let me go and let me hug the others."

"no!"

"hey, it's our turn!" jisung yelled, "let go of her this instant!"

"agreed!" jeongin yelled, too.

"i don't mind getting a hug." seungmin said, "after all it has been a year since we last saw each other."

"not me, though, thanks." minho said.

"i wasn't even going to hug you in the first place, ugly." she replied.

hyunjin let y/n go and she greeted the others with a hug, too. after all the greetings, they ordered takeout because minho was too tired to cook, and ate before they all parted ways.

"i finally have you all for myself." hyunjin said, grinning from ear to ear. y/n smiled at the sight of him, happy to finally reunite with him once again. "i wish i didn't have to be so far away from you all the time."

"i wish so, too." y/n responded, "it's okay, though, because, at the end of the day, i know you'll always be waiting for me."

"i am, and you're waiting for me, too."

despite stray kids being artists now and known everywhere, all around the world; she and hyunjin remained in contact with each other. it was difficult to maintain the relationship due to the fact that hyunjin is adored by the fans and the company didn't want him to reveal that he was dating. they both tried to be discreet but stays figured it out, eventually, and they were both relieved when hyunjin received support more than hate.

they have been on a long distance relationship until y/n got a stable job, enough to buy tickets in order to follow along stray kids' travels. she didn't like the idea that hyunjin would be providing the tickets for her, so they both agreed to split 50/50 in terms of paying for plane tickets and international visas. during his breaks, hyunjin would visit y/n and make the most out of those times. y/n continues to keep in contact with all of them.

it's been years since high school but the relationship will last.

just like their promise.
