Locked in // Hyunjin stray kids ✓

XXV

"This is really good."
I hum in agreement to Hyunjin's comment.
"But is it better than mine?"
"Yes."
"Hey how could you say that?" He ways his chopsticks at me accusingly. I put my hands up muttering 'sorry' while chuckling.
We've been eating Tteokbokki for I don't know how long but this is our third portion of the amazing food. 

"What do you want to do after?" I ask playing around with the chopsticks before looking up at him.
"I don't really mind." There's a small smile on his lips. I start thinking of different ideas that can cure our boredom.

We just stay silent for a while, at first we were trying to find ideas for what to do but in the end we just gave up and now are sitting here, eating Tteokbokki.

"Hyunjin."
"Hm?" He looks up as he puts the spicy food in his mouth.
"Remember how you told me that you want to make music and become a singer?"
Hyunjin's eyes widen and his face becomes a bit flushed.
"Uhm yeah- yeah I think?"
"Did you already do anything? Like write song lyrics or different things like that?"
His face just becomes even more red by the second.
"I sort of wrote some lyrics but like just for fun, you know?" I nod.
"Would you want to go to an entertainment company?"
"I don't know I'm not sure. I don't think I'm talented enough."
I put my chopsticks down before leaning a bit forward and grabbing his face.
"Hyunjin, listen, at least you are passionate about music. You love it. So who cares if you can't sing that well, or rap that well, or.... never mind you dance well. Anyways as I was saying. It's okay if you're not perfect but we can see how much you love this. And I'm sure you're not bad. At all. Okay Hyunjin?"

He blinks twice as I let go of his face and sit back down on my seat. He's in a trance and when I look up at him, confused, he snaps out of it and mutters a small 'thank you'. I smile a small smile but then think about my future and how my parents won't support me. They think that my love for art is just a hobby and I will become doctors like them or something of the sort. I secretly go behind their back, which isn't complicated considering that I barely see them, to look at different art schools. I only wrote letters to them and now I have to send them.

"Soomi?"
I snap out of my thoughts and look at Hyunjin.
"Huh? Oh sorry, did you say something?"
"No, but you looked a bit down. Is everything alright?"
I hesitate for a moment, pondering if I should tell him about my problems or not.
"Yeah everything is fine! Why wouldn't it be?"
The last part made him doubt me, but he understood that maybe talking about it right now isn't the best idea.

"Thank you for eating! We hope to see you again!"
We bow at the worker and make our way outside, forgetting about the cold weather.
"Ah fuck it's cold." I zip my coat all the way up so that it practically covers my mouth.
My phone buzzes and I take it out of my pocket.

Mom
We will be staying at the hospital tonight and maybe tomorrow so we can't come home. Sorry.

Am I surprised?

At least my mom sends me messages. My dad on the other hand, it's as if he doesn't even know I'm here.

"Hey Hyun, let's go to my house. It's not far from here."
"Oh okay sure. Wait did you just call me Hyun?"
I realize what I did and quickly turn my head.
"What no I called you Hyun....Jin. Hyunjin. 'Cause that's your name. Tell me I'm wrong."
He stares at me blankly before he starts to laugh loudly. He gestures me to lead the way, putting his arm in front of us, to let me go first. And so we walk to my house calmly.

I take out my keys and unlock the door before going in. Hyunjin and I take off out shoes and I guide him towards my room. We both go in.
"Damn I forgot how messy it is. Uhm don't mind this I will clean it all up. Hahah... you fucking dumbass Soomi.
He looks around a bit before stopping on something. He laughs a bit.
"Nice bra." My eyes widen as I see one of my bras that I left on the chair on my desk along with a few of my other clothes.
I blurt out first thing that came to me.
"It's not mine!"
"Soomi, you don't have any siblings." He points out.
"It's my moms!" His face contorts and he quickly moves away from it only to step on underwear that somehow fell from my drawer.
I look at him, horrified. Then I quickly rush towards him and guide him out of the room to let my clean it.
My face beet red when I open the door again to let him in.
"Soomi please tell me that wasn't your moms bra. I don't think I can move on from this trauma."
I pat his shoulder, as I let out a tired breath. "Okay you got me. It's not my moms. It's my dads."
He fake laughs at what I said. He comes back in, and this time, he can actually see the carpet.
"Do you have a curfew?" He shakes his head.
"Then do you mind...staying here?" I look away too embarrassed to see his reaction.
"Are you okay?" He asks as he comes closer.
"Yeah don't worry! Just a bit lonely in this house." He nods.
"Okay, then I'll stay."

"What size are you?"
"What- what do you mean?" Hyunjin looks at me with wide eyes.
"What size are your clothes? Why did you- oh~. You nasty boy."
He rubs his neck, feeling awkward. "Oh."
He tells me his size and I leave him in the room to go fetch something for him to wear.
I come back to the room with large sweatpants that used to be my dads but are now mine and give them to him. Then I look into my closet and find a large looking sweatshirt so I give those to him.
"Wait this is my hoodie."
"Oh it is? Perfect then."
He rolls his eyes at me.
I show him the bathroom and we both go our separate ways to change.
I'm the first one to come back and after a few minutes, the tall boy comes back with his hair a bit damp.

We spend then rest of the evening playing games and watching different shows.
We're both in the bed just chilling and talking as we watch the tv show that's currently playing. Unconsciously, Hyunjin's arm makes it's around my shoulders.

After a while Hyunjin notices that I'm about to fall asleep so he closes the computer and starts getting out of the bed. But before he can leave I grab his wrist.
"Stay. You don't even know where to go." He's about to protest but he realizes that I'm right so he gives up and crawls back in.

Hi everyone!! It's me I'm back. Last week was horrible I was so stressed out I felt sick. My mock oral didn't go well. I knew my stuff perfectly but I ended up falling on the worst text and barely had the time to prepare because the teacher used like 3 minutes to talk to some students. And 3 minutes Is a lot when it comes to preparing an oral. So yeah I sort of failed. But I got 8/20.

Then now I have so much homework but I'm going on a school trip on Tuesday so I won't be able to give it in. Teachers really suck I'm so stressed. Ew.

Y'all don't understand how much I'm gonna die on the 24th of February. I'm coming back from New York on Monday morning and after a 7 or 6 hour long flight, I won't be able to go home I have to directly go to school and pass a 4h exam.
Help.
