Down The Rabbit Hole And What They Found There - [Bang Chan, Lee Know]

Sometimes I'm

🐺

"Ah, I'm surprised to find you here. I thought that after last night, you'd spent all your free time glued to Alice's skirt. What happened? She realized how needy you can be?" Changbin's voice had always been loud enough to surpass his noise-cancelling headphones. Chan gets scared the same, lifting his eyes from the laptop to watch Han and Changbin remove their coats and taking place with him in the studio. Chan pouted and pretended to not have listened because he doesn't like when Binnie gets that cocky and also right.

"Ooh ooh" Han mused, pulling out his papers, "Don't worry, hyung, if she's like Minho even a little, she probably likes that."

"uh-" how can I show that I'm relieved without giving away that they are right? "Thanks, I guess." he muttered.

"Seriously, tho, why aren't you with your kangaroo tamer?" Han questioned, and Changbin made a little huffed laugh. Chan fixed the beanie on his head, making sure that his boiling ears were covered.

"Uh, she had to do a video call with Hannah." he said, "Talking. Girls stuff. You know."

"Hannah? Wait, Hannah who?" Binnie questioned.

"Hannah, my sister-"

"Uh? Is It already that serious?"

Chan's mind stopped to think about it. Is it serious between them? Surely his intentions are serious, and even if Alice had explicitly said that she likes him - well, to him, she said she adores him, to be fair -but are they serious? They should probably talk about it and end it with this Hide & Seek.

"No, they... they were already friends, I just didn't know. And, Hannah knew about Beck, so they are... like updating each other-"

"Uh? Really?"

"De. So, I guess she'll let me know when she's free, I don't know. We didn't talk about it." Chan continued. He actually doesn't know. He'd been trying to distract himself with work from the moment she hangs up for calling Hannah, but they never made plans about talking or meeting again today. Chan's leg had been moving up and down for hours now.

"Oh." Han whispered. He shared a look with Changbin, and Chan pretended not to see. He doesn't need any more thoughts.

They don't talk about it anymore, and Chan is glad, until Jisung snorted while checking his phone. Chan ignored it, selecting another file.

"Hyung."

"Uh?"

"Minho-hyung texted me. He, Innie, Yongbokkie and Alice are going out to have a drink. He told me to not wait for him."

Chan shook his head.

"Uh, alright."

why she didn't texted me. why I didn't know. where are they going. why are they going out without me. why there's jeongin with them. gosh, I miss her. A ding interrupted his mental panic.

Alice🦋🖤
"heyyy, the call went good, ur sis is so cool, much cooler than you, fr."
"btw"
"gonna get wasted with your friends"
"Jeongin, the weird, and Lixie"
"prob not gonna end it that late"
"if you are not working you can join us later"
"Uhm, Min is saying that you are not welcome, but we don't care what he says, right?"

"Oh." Chan voiced it out loud, lifting the phone in front of his face and attracting the others' attention. "She just told me. She asked me to join them."

Han looked back at his phone. Smirked. "Yeah, and Minho says that he's going to beat your ass, and not in a funny way, if you do." Chan's eyebrows narrowed. Changbin's phone light up.
