Our Girl Book 1 {Stray Kids Fanfiction}

Chapter 97: Hide and Seek

"Five minutes? That's too damn long!" Changbin whined.

Han joined in the protest. "Come on, that's practically cheating!"

Lily huffed and rolled her eyes. "Have you seen the size of this house? Five minutes is more than fair!"

"She's right. I think it's a reasonable amount of time to hide." Felix argued in Lily's defense.

Lily struck a seductive and inviting pose and caressed her own body as she added, "Especially when the stakes are so high."

"Well, since you put it like that-" Changbin conceited as he bit his lip and trailed her body with his lustful eyes.

"Ok! Let's get started!" Chan shouted, clapping his hands together.

"Lily- Five minutes. Good luck, my love." Han taunted with a wink. "And- go!" He shouted as he started the timer.

Lily ran out of the garage and into the house to find a proper hiding spot. She weaved through the rooms, trying to find the perfect location when she had a thought.

After writing a quick, sloppy message, she pinned the note under her phone and ran as fast as she could. Finally choosing her hideout, she settled in as quietly as possible, mentally preparing a game plan as she anxiously waited.

"So we're splitting up into two person teams, right?" I.N questioned.

Chan nodded. "Yep. Try not to talk to each other. She's expecting us to completely separate. Me and Changbin will team up. The rest of you decide who you wanna pair up with."

Leeknow spoke up first. "She loves rough and soft contrast, so Han, you with me?"

Han smirked, "My thoughts exactly."

I.N turned to Seungmin with a devilish grin and an arched brow. "You and me?"

Seungmin flashed a knowing grin and nodded menacingly.

"And that leaves us." Felix said to Hyunjin. "And I have an idea if we're the ones who find her."

Hyunjin smiled and replied, "Let's hear it."

Before Felix could respond, the timer went off. Han silenced the alarm as he excitedly exclaimed, "Let's go."

The teams flooded into the house in different directions, opening doors, looking under beds, behind furniture, and peeking behind curtains.

After covering a large portion of the house, Chan and Changbin were getting impatient. "You got your phone with you?" Chan asked in a soft whisper.

Changbin patted his pockets. "Yea, why?" He replied, pulling out his phone.

"Track her location." Chan instructed with a sly grin.

"Fucking brilliant." Changbin smirked as he tapped his phone screen. "She's in the medbay. Looks like maybe the supply closet."

They immediately took off running toward the pinged location. They entered the room quietly and crept toward the closet. Chan slowly reached for the handle, then quickly opened the door. "Surpi-" He shouted, just before confusion covered his face.

Changbin furrowed his brows, then shook his head with a smirk. He picked up her phone along with the note and read it aloud. "Ha! Gotcha! Nice try! Muahahahaha."

"What a fucking brat!" Chan growled, yanking the phone and note from Changbin's grasp.

Lily held her breath and crept stealthy from her original position to the new chosen location. She had overheard Chan and Changbin's plan, so she knew it wouldn't be long before they discovered her phone and retraced their steps.

She froze for a brief moment, then slipped behind a door when she heard Felix and Hyunjin coming down the hall. Her heart sank when they turned into the bedroom she was hiding in.

She held her breath and stayed as quiet as she could. Felix immediately walked to the attached bathroom as Hyunjin made his way to the closet. As soon as they were both facing away from her, she slipped out from behind the door and carefully maneuvered into another room a few doors down.

"I didn't expect it to be this difficult to find her." Han whispered as he pulled back a curtain.

Leeknow chuckled as he replied, "Hell, she's so tiny, she could fit just about anywhere."

"You realize how hilarious this is?" Han asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"What? That one of the most skilled mafia groups in Korea can't locate one target?" Leeknow replied as he checked the laundry room linen closet.

"Well- kinda. We are, as Lily says, 'big scary Mafia guys-' and yet we're running around playing hide and seek like a group of kids."

Leeknow let out a quick, airy laugh. "Yea- but admit it. This is fun, and her excitement is the best prize of all."

"Oh, without a doubt." Han quietly responded. "I want so bad to hear her laugh every second of every single day."

***

Lily's smile couldn't possibly stretch any wider. She had just overheard the conversation between Han and Leeknow. She was used to hearing sweet words being spoken to her, but to hear them spoken without their knowledge of her presence made it feel even more genuine and sincere.

While she enjoyed hearing the conversation, she was anxious for them to leave the room. Knots were beginning to form it her back as she waited.

Finally, when the coast was clear, she opened the washing machine door and popped out quickly, yet as quietly as she could. She used her mission training to sneak through the house unnoticed.

***

"I'm starting to think she disappeared into thin air." I.N stated as he opened the door to the fitness room.

The two walked in and began searching through closets and behind equipment. "She has to be moving around. There's no way she could be in one spot this whole time and not be found yet."

I.N raised up from looking in a cabinet. "Do you think she has her phone? We could track her."

Seungmin immediately pulled out his phone with a smile. "Let's see." After a few taps, he flashed a grin and nodded. "She's in medbay."

***

Lily had made it back to the garage where the game began. She could barely contain her excitement knowing that she had successfully outsmarted all eight of her boyfriends.

She opened the passenger door of her corvette and hopped in. After closing the door, she leaned the seat as far back as it would go, crossing her ankles on the dashboard. She closed her eyes as a smug grin rested on her face.

Lost in replaying her strategic actions in her mind, she never noticed the two men approaching her car with predatory hunger in their eyes. Before she had time to process, her door opened, and a hand wrapped around her neck, pulling her to her feet.

"Hiya princess."

"Hey babygirl. You ready to have some fun?"
