baby (seungmin centric skz fic)

"hey, changbin hyung?" seungmin spoke up at the small lunch table where usually there were 9 boys, but currently only 2. changbin hummed at him, looking up from where he was playing on his phone. "yeah? what's up, seungmin?" he answered back, looking at seungmin who was playing around with a carrot on his lunch tray. "i just had a question! um, are you guys dating?" seungmin asked quietly, placing the carrot back down on the plate. "me? me and who? i'm not dating anyone." changbin asked, his interest piquing at seungmin's words. seungmin seemed stunned into silence for a moment, before answering him. "i mean, you know, you guys." changbin seemed very confused, and looked like he was going to ask seungmin for clarification once more before seungmin came out with it.

"you know! you, hyunjin and felix!" seungmin barely spoke this time. "uh.. not that i'm aware of? pretty sure i'm single, seungminnie." changbin responded, looking warily at seungmin. "why would you think that anyway?" he asked, poking at the jello on his plate, scrunching his nose when it bounced. "i mean, you guys are really touchy, and i just thought.. maybe?" seungmin said, confusing changbin even more, before seeing jisung walking towards the table and waving him over. (for whatever reason, seeing as he'd been sitting here since the beginning of the school year.)

"hey guys! what are you talking about? aw, why does changbinnie hyung look so disgruntled? minnie, what did you say to him?" jisung said, grabbing ahold of seungmin's cheek at the end of his small speech. "nothing, i would never!" seungmin gasped, putting on an innocent face that jisung knew was fake.

just as changbin was going to explain what seungmin had said to him earlier that had caused him to be so confused, the rest of the boys walked over and sat down, not including jeongin, who loudly called out that he had to go the bathroom the minute he walked towards the table.

changbin didn't say anything, though. but he was lost in thought the rest of lunch, not noticing the two worried pairs of eyes on him.

hyunjin walked to his seat at the beginning of chemistry, next to seungmin. "hey, do you know why changbinnie was acting weird during lunch today? he wouldn't even look at me, or felix." this was weird to hear hyunjin being so serious, usually he would have cracked a couple jokes at him by now, the most common ones being about felix, or how he wanted to be australian. "i wouldn't worry too much about it, 𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘺." seungmin replied, pulling out a pastel blue pen, with a cute face on top. hyunjin seemed stunned for a moment, and was about to respond to seungmin, until their teacher walked in, and seungmin gave a small smile before turning back to the front. hyunjin knew that meant the conversation was over.

"ji.. i don't know what to wear.." seungmin said, his voice muffled because he was stuffing his face into a pillow. "why is this a recurring thing with you? maybe if you looked harder..not stuffing your face in a pillow, you'd find something." jisung said, sitting up from where he was sitting on the end of the bed, and stretching his arms into the air. "i have! you wouldn't understand." seungmin was now pouting, knowing that jisung would feel obligated to help him. "aish, this kid.." jisung mumbled, where he was now lying next to seungmin on the bed, also face down.

"please help me ji!" seungmin whined. "well, if you want me to help you find something to wear, you'll have to tell me where you're going." jisung said, sitting up, for the second time, this time in a different position. seungmin turned red, before mumbling something into the sleeve of his sweater. "minnie, you're gonna have to speak up." jisung said, standing up from the bed. "i said, i'm going on a date with channie and woojin hyung." seungmin threw out, the words almost impossible to hear. "ooo, cute! minnie, why didn't you tell me that you guys were going on a date! i could've made him go on a double date! wait, there's 3 of you guys. 4..? no, that's wrong too...quadruple? wait.. that's also wrong." jisung murmured to himself, until he shouted loud enough for probably all of the neighboring apartments to hear, "quintuple-date!"

"okay ji, calm down. also that sounds weird. also, please help me find an outfit! i have to leave in a couple hours!" seungmin calmed him down, then went into his own conversation. "wait, a couple hours? so why are you getting dressed now?" jisung asked, calm from his sudden laughter before. "i'm not, i just want to have clothes out so i don't get anxious right before... y'know?" seungmin said, standing up and opening the closet doors back up. "yeah, yeah, i get it." jisung said, also standing up. "so, do you know where you're going? like is it some fancy restaurant or something? or like, a picnic or something?" jisung asked, bombarding him with a million more questions after that. "ji, do i look like the type that would enjoy going somewhere really formal?" seungmin deadpanned towards jisung. "looks can be deceiving!"
