Down Fall...

Chapter 8

We get to the park where our picnic is set up.

"Look it's down there." Chae says and runs down there with the other maknaes.

"Uhh..." I sigh knowing I'm apart of the maknae line.

"Are not going to go be with your kind?" Mia asks and hit her shoulder.

"I may be around there are but doesn't mean I have to act like-" I was cut off by the Stray kids maknae line following there leader.

"You know what, sure." I say and I run down the hill with the rest.

We get to the picnic blanket which is a classic red plaid. We all sit down and the large sheet and try to catch our breaths.

"Why did I follow you guys." I breathe out.

"You're apart of us. It's in your blood." Chae say and I smile at her.

"Yah! Maknaes! Don't touch anything!" Irene says and we laugh.

"Hurry grandmas I'm hungry!" I shout back to the older girls.

"What you'd say?!" Mia say and she runs after me. I stand up and run away from her. I run to Irene.

"Protect me!" I shout.

"You started it." She says stepping to the side.

I run around a little more before I'm tired.

"I give up. Kill me." I say standing there with my arms out.

She lightly hits my face before carrying me back to the blanket.

"Now that were all here let's eat." Chan says and we all start to eat.

We mostly sit in silence with the occasional conversation that normally dies down pretty fast.

"So since we don't know everyone let's all introduce ourselves." Irene says. We all look up and look at each other.

"Do I have to? I know everyone here, and they know me." I say.

"Hazel excluded." She says again and I go back to eating.

"So I'll start and we can just go along with it. Hi I'm the leader of Nothing Special, Irene." She says.

"I'm the maknae, Aiden."

"How old are you?" Jeongin asks challenging the maknae.

"15. I'll be 16 in December." She says and Jeongin eyes brighten.

"Someone's younger than me!?" He asks happy.

"Well I'm no longer the maknae, Jeongin." He says and we laugh.

"Ava is also younger than you." Han says pointing to the girl next to me and his smile brightens even more.

"Your still Stray Kids maknae." Woojin say and his smile fades well we laugh.

"I'm Chaeyoung, but you can call me Chae."

"I'm Ava, I'm 16 soon to be 17." She says and Jeongin claps.

"I'm Mia, I'm from Japan." And they all nod.

"Skipping Hazel, I'm Jimin the eldest of my group. Not overall." She clarifies.

"I'm Jisung, but please call me Han."

"I'm Felix from Australia."

"Im also from Australia, I'm Chan the leader of Stray Kids."

"I'm Woojin the oldest one here."

"I'm Hyungjin, the oldest maknae." He say and I high five him.

"Same." I say.

"I'm Minho, I dance."

"My name is Changbin and I'm a producer."

"Us too." Jimin adds in.

"You guys produce you own songs?" Hyunjin asks and Jimin nods.

"Hazel, Ava, and I do." She says and they look at Ava.

"What? I write lyrics okay?" She says.

"You wrote the lyrics to searching?!" Han shouts.

"Yeah.."

"You wizard! Teach me your ways!" He says and we laugh well she covers her smile.

"Sometime I will." She says and he nods.

"And I'm Seungmin." He finishes and we all continue.

We ask more questions and get more familiar with each other. Eventually it's time to head home.

"Can't we stay for the sunset?" I ask.

"Why?" Minho walks up beside me.

"Because it's always so pretty." I say.

"Don't ask, just dont." Jimin comes up behind me dragging me to the van.

We drive home and go to our rooms.

I walk over to see a box on my bed. The gift Seungmin gave me.

I sit on my bed and slowly open the box. He didn't get me a spider or something right?

I lift the lid to see a pair of black vans. But they have roses by the white line.

I cover my mouth as I run to find Seungmin. When I find him I hug him.

"Omg thank you." I say.

"I know it's been hard lately and I thought you could use them." He says.

"Now I have to get you something." I say.

"Don't. That's what friends are for." He says patting my head. I run back to my room and try them on, perfect fit.

I take them off and put them next to my stuff.

Back story: when Seungmin and I were poor little trainees we went out one day and I saw those shoes in the window of a store. When we went inside and checked the price I swore to myself I would buy them when I debute and have money. I forgotten about that promise I made myself but I guess he didn't.

I grab my bag and put my new shoes under my bed. Don't want them to be ruined yet.

I put my other shoes on and walk into the girls room.

"I'm off. I'll see you guys tomorrow." I say.

"We have a show to do at 10 so be here before 4." Irene says and I nod. We all know I'll be home by 8.

I wave by to my friends and I walk out to the company.

I work long through the night. And I didn't go home. Instead I stayed and was there before my members to get ready for the show.
