Stray Kids Oneshots

Neighbours [HyunSeung]

Having a best friend that knows everything about you can be good, but bad as well, especially if they accidentally spill a secret to a person you haven't met so far but are about too.
And that's the exact situation Hyunjin is in when Minho came into his room with their new neighbour Seungmin.
______________________________________

Seungmin and his family were almost finished unpacking the moving truck when he saw another family coming over to their house.
It was a woman and a younger boy who was probably her son.
While the woman greeted his parents the boy came up to Seungmin with a smile on his face. "Hey, my name ist Lee Minho, I live across the street," he said, holding out his hand, still smiling.
The other boy shook his hand, smiling as well. "I'm Kim Seungmin and as you can see I'm just moving in right here" he introduced himself to the smaller boy. "Nice to meet you Seungmin. Are you free now? I'd like to introduce you to another friend that lives in this street" Minho asked.
Seungmin looked over to his mum, who seemed to have heard the question because she nodded at the questioning look on her sons face. "Seems like it" he answered.
Minho took the other boy at his wrist and began to walk in one direction.
"We're going to say hi to Hyunjin," Minho told his mother. "Is he even home from work?", she then asked him. "Probably" he said, shrugging and without slowing down his pace.
"Why does he work in this early hour?" Seungmin asked the other boy, considering that it's fairly early in the morning.
"He helps out as a bartender in the LGBTQ+ bar here in town" Minho told him, forgetting that he wasn't supposed to tell that anyone.
Seungmin was definitely surprised but he didn't say anything at first and even if he wanted to, Minho cut of his words.
"You should... forget what I just told you" he quickly said, wanting to punch himself in the face. And if he wouldn't do it himself Hyunjin would do it for him when he finds out that he just told his secret to a total stranger he just met.
They quickly arrived at the house where the door was opened by a woman after Minho rung the bell.
"Good morning Minho. And you must be our new neighbour" the woman greeting the two boys, shaking their hands.
Seungmin just nodded at her question when he shook her hand. "I'm Kim Seungmin" he then said, smiling politely.
She also introduced herself and let the two boys come inside the house. "Hyunjin came home a while ago so he might be asleep" she then told them but Minho just smiled. "I don't have a problem with waking him up" he told her, taking off his shoes, which Seungmin then did as well.
After Minho and Hyunjin's mom talked for a short while, Minho led the way into Hyunjin's room that was only lit through sun that could shine through the curtains.
Without hesitation Minho turned on the light, causing a groan from the boy who was laying on his bed, probably Hyunjin, Seungmin guessed. Well, who else should it be?
"Get up lazyhead" Minho said, opening the curtains to let even more light shine on the boy. Seungmin just stood there, not knowing how to exactly act so he watched Minho instead and looked over to Hyunjin every now and then.
"What do you want Minho?", Hyunjin asked, not even lifitig his head. "I want to introduce you to someone" his friend answered.
With a little groan Hyunjin sat up, but still not facing the two boys. He didn't change his clothes after coming home from work so he was wearing a black skinny jeans and a black, loose, long-sleeved shirt with the top two buttons opened.
And Seungmin must say, that he looked really good in those clothes, without even seeing his face yet.
"Come on, sit up properly, you don't have any manners, do you?", Minho said, mostly just to provoke his friend. "Oh, shut up" he mumbled in response, standing up from his bed.
When he looked up Seungmin's heart skipped a beat.
"Hey, I'm Hwang Hyunjin" he said, smiling tiredly and holding out his hand.
Once again, Seungmin shook the other's hand. "I'm Kim Seungmin, I moved in across the street"
"It's unusual to see people moving here, most people want to get away from here and live in Seoul or Busan. Why did you move here?", Hyunjin asked without hesitation. "Well, there were a few problems at my old university so my parents decided to move instead of letting me drop out" Seungmin told them. He didn't have to keep it a secret why he moved, just what the problems were.
"I'm sorry for you, but that also means that you'll be going to the same university as Minho" Hyunjin said with a smile on his face. Minho hit him on the arm. "Better than working with you. I don't understand how Jisung can live with you for those hours" Minho replied.
"Be grateful that I work with him, otherwise you wouldn't know him" Hyunjin said, giving the hit back.
Seungmin just stood there, not exactly knowing what to do or not to do, so he just looked around in the room a bit. The walls were almost completely empty, a direct opposite of how Seungmin's room to look like.
Even though he was a University student he always had pictures of him and his friends as well as posters and stuff all over his room. Maybe the time was there to stop being so childlike?
