The Family That's Ours (Sequel to Family)

I wouldn't leave you lonely that quickly

"I could've been in America right now but oh no! JYP just had to shove us in dorms."

"It's not that bad," Jinyoung attempted to compromise but a devilish side glare from Dae shut him up immediately.

"We are underage Jinyoung. I cannot drive very well. Stray Kids are my fathers and caretakers. They are not just my ex mafia group and JYP needs to understand that."

As soon as YoungDay was announced debuted, JYP told Dae that she can no longer live in the Stray Kids household; that she is no longer a Stray Kids member. JYP offered them a flat located in the JYPE staff dorms; a place where Itzy, Day6, and a few others stay. It was a slight drive from the actual school itself in comparison to the dorms the students stay in; which are connected to the actual school. This means Jinyoung and Dae would somehow have to get a ride to their work every day. Twice have already volunteered to take that role, but Dae nor Jinyoung want to accept; seeing how it might be annoying for 2 extra passengers a girl group of 9 already has to drive.

"Plus!" Dae's fury was getting ahead of herself and she found it hard to calm down from her angry rant. "Most of my things are still back home and 3Racha trains me so this is going to be unbeneficial in the long run!"

"Love, I get why you're angry but-"

"Don't call me Love in my time of anger," Dae spits, glaring at him once more.

"Dae," Jinyoung starts again, approaching her slowly. "I get why you're angry, but screaming at me and into this temporary home isn't going to do anything."

Dae processes his words and looks up at him curiously. "Temporary?"

He nods his head. "You've made some valid points during your angry fit, so why don't I call Stray Kids and JYP about scheduling a meeting to get us to move into the Stray Kids household? I know you have space in your house and it would be more convenient overall."

Dae smiled softly, all the anger she previously felt a few minutes away now long gone. "I'd really like that. Thank you. And while you're doing that, I'll pick up something for dinner."

Jinyoung narrowed his eyes at her. "Your driving is not good enough to go pick up something. Go talk to Twice."

Playfully rolling her eyes, Dae grabbing her wallet and waved at Jinyoung before exiting their small dorm room.

She skipped all the way to Twice's dorm, happy that her loving boyfriend is trying to fix the issue. She tapped on the door to her older group's dorm, and in a few moments the door swings open, exposing Jihyo.

"Is the sweet baby done with her tantrum?" Jihyo teased, a mischievous smirk appearing upon her lips. "These walls are quite thin you know."

A brilliant red emerged on Dae's cheeks. "I'm sorry you had to hear that. I just don't like JYP's logic very much."

The playful smile on Jihyo's face contorted to one of sincerity and sympathy. "I understand. And I'll try to help you get back to your dads. Because honestly, your points were right; you are too young to live alone."

"Thank you Jihyo. That means a lot."

The leader of the girl group waved her hand in dismissal, signaling the end of her praise. "Anyways, what are you doing over here right now?"

Dae's confidence in asking for a ride oddly faded once Jihyo switched the conversation. She looked down at the floor, sweeping her foot back in forth nervously.

"Well, I was half wondering if one of you guys would-"

"Give you a ride for dinner?" Jihyo finished, impatient with Dae's stalling.
