Stray Kids 9th Member ~ Shine Pt.1

Side Effects Pt.2

Luckily their kiss didn't mess with their friendship together. Of course it messed up Sammy. He was yearning for Chan even more these days. It was so noticeable that even Stays were talking about it. He got extremely anxious because of that.

During promotions he refused to sit by Chan, unless he had too. Chan felt rejected. "I'm going crazy." Sammy told Irene. "Hey I'm going crazy over Jooheon so we're in this together."

"But he's a guy and your a girl! It's normal! Being gay-"

"Don't you dare say it's not normal."

"I wasn't..." Even though he totally was. "Stop worrying so much about what Stays think. If you love him. Go after him. Tell him before it's too late."

"So should you. Jooheon really isn't going anywhere."

"I'm not worried about Jooheon falling in love with someone else. Have you seen the way he swoons when I smile?"

"Every boy basically swoons when you smile Ren. Your smile is the sun."

"I'll take that as a compliment." She snorts. "It was one." He grumbles. Mae-Li hops into the bed with them. "Ren, Jooheon-Oppa is at the door. I didn't let him in because I like teasing him."

"Ok, ok. I'll get him. Take care of Sam. He's fragile." Mae giggles. Sammy full force engulfs his tiny younger sister into his arms. She laughs. "Is it Channie again?"

"When is it not?"

"What happened this time."

"We made out." His frown deepens as he feels tears come to his eyes. "Yep, this is some fragile package." He snorts. "Mmnot fragile." He mumbles. She ruffles his hair. "You are the definition of fragile right now. Want some ice cream?"

"And popcorn?" She nods. "Mmkay." He lets her go and watches as she skips to the kitchen. He pulls the blanket around him and feels for the engagement ring on his finger. He sighs when he feels the ring twirl around. A pouty Jooheon kneels beside the bed. "Hey Sammy how you feeling?"

"Like shit." He frowns. "You're lucky to have such wonderful sisters."

"Sisters are the best." Sammy gives a small smile. Jooheon ruffles his hair. "Wanna watch some movies and eat our feelings?"

"Yes!! I wanna watch Voltron!" Jooheon chuckles. "Ok then."

"That is not satisfying at all. Klance should have been canon. Fuck DreamWorks ya nut sack bastards." Mae laughs and Irene snorts. "This is why FanFiction exists my brother." Mae chokes on popcorn. "Holy shit-" she gasps. "Popcorn and laughing do not mix." Sammy glares. "It wasn't funny! DreamWorks are nut sacks."

"Why nut sacks."

"When we get kicked, we go down. That makes us weak. Ya'll can stand heavy cramping one week every month. You have a high pain tolerance and apparently the men are supposed to be the stronger ones. Uh sorry to burst your bubble misogynists but you get pissy over someone saying anything remotely true!"

"Like the patriarchy causes most of our problems?"

"Yes! Exactly."

"No toxic masculinity from our dear brother." Mae-Li grins.

Sammy flops onto Chan's bed. Chan was busy in the studio and possibly wouldn't be coming home until 3 at night. This meant Sammy didn't take his medication to stay up for Chan. He snuggles under the covers. Felix snuggles up with him. "You waiting for Channie-Hyung?"

"Yeah." Felix nods and mumbles, "It is weird that I like cuddling everyone?"

"No. You just like affection from others." Sammy reassured the younger male. Felix smiles at that. Sammy doesn't fall asleep until 12:30 and then wakes up at 3:00 am.
