The Lion's Den - Stray Kids X Reader (Vampire/au)

Kim Seungmin 🩵

The shine of something caught your eye on your bed when you walked past.

You had just come back from Chan's room, dropping off Berry from her walk when you noticed the sun was reflecting off an object on your bed.

You were starving, but a quick detour wasn't going to kill you.

"What's this?"

As you got close enough, you could finally see the object fully.

It was a beautifully intricate necklace that had to be the most expensive thing you had ever laid your eyes on. You were worried about touching it.

Thankfully, beside it was a note that would hopefully explain how such a prized possession ended up anywhere close to your clumsy hands.

"I saw this and thought you
were more elegant and beautiful,
but hopefully you still like it."

That was it. No signature, no nothing. You tried searching your bed a little more, but you couldn't find anything.

"That's so strange..." You grabbed it, oh so carefully, and tried hanging it around you. "Wow.. this is absolutely beautiful!" You pulled it from your neck and placed it on your necklace hanger, even going as far as removing it from the bathroom for fear of it breaking, and falling it into the sink. "No accidents!" The thought of who it was from was going to drive you crazy all day.

~🩵~

"Hey! I need to run up town. Does anyone need me to grab anything?"

Felix and Jeongin popped up, sprinting to you, overflowing with excitement. "Can I come?" Felix asked, shoving Jeongin back.

"Sorry sweetheart. I have a meeting with my boss I can't -" You didn't remember buying these shoes. They were real leather, and had a cute buckle on top. It was like they were set out to match your outfit for that day. You held them up. "Did you guys buy these for me?"

Felix and Jeongin furrowed their brows and shook their heads.

How odd.

From the corner of your eye you saw someone dart out of sight. You couldn't catch a glimpse of who it was but it seemed suspicious.

~🩵~

You made it back from town, late. All you wanted was a good night's sleep.

On your way to your room, you found something unfamiliar just resting on one of the sofa's in the livingroom. As you got closer, you realized it was a book you had raved to one of the guys about. But which one? Who knew about it?

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

You picked up the book and a small note dropped from the pages. You hoped you hadn't just lost someone's spot.

However, as you unfolded the note you realized that there was absolutely no coincidence involved.

"I know you were really
excited to read this book,
so I hope you find it
enjoyable ~ <3"

You walked up to your room with the book in hand, smiling. Maybe you had a secret admirer. It made your cheeks feel warm.

The last time you had a secret admirer was in middle school, and you remembered feeling really special.

Until you learned that the kid was really just trying to ask for protection from some bullies. Then it felt less special.

You sighed. Obviously, you were connected to all the eight of them, but there was a possibility of some of them were only holding onto you because of the amulet. You looked down at the ring on your finger in thought, and what Seungmin had said when Hyunjin gave it to you.
