STRAY KIDS one shots

We Are Here part 1

Author p.o.v

Someone just got inside the dorm that are shared between eight boys. The one who just got inside, went straight to his room not noticing that his dorm that usually is noisy was quiet. He got inside his room and lock the door. Taking out some things from his backpack that he has always taken with him no matter where he is. He took out his diary and write his day in it. His day, his problems, his emotions, all of it was written inside it. He carefully choose the word he will write.

Two boys got inside the house noticing that one of their dorm mates shoes is already there inside their dorm. They wonder where he has been this all day long.

Seungmin: Any idea where is he?
Jeongin: I texted him just now but he doesn't read it.
Seungmin:*sigh* Typical him.

They decide not to check inside his room cause he hate it when someone check his room without his permission. They wonder if he already have his dinner. They end their talk with a sigh and still wondering where their other dorm mates are.

After the midnight clock rang, five boys got inside one by one. Meeting each other infront of their dorm. Telling them where they have been this whole day.

Hyunjin: Man, my dance practice is a complete asshole today.
Minho: Who is the trainer?
Hyunjin: You know him, Mr. Kim.
Minho: Mr. Kim? He is nice though?
Hyunjin: Nice your ass. Because of him, I can't even ask if Daehwi can accompany me to buy my shoes tomorrow.
Minho: Ask Felix to accompany you. He needs to have fresh air.

Chan: When will we sent our music?
Changbin: Sent it when we already got notified.
Jisung: That supposed to be around next week.
Chan: Anyone see Felix today?
Jisung: Isn't he still inside the studio?
Changbin: Studio? Which one?
Jisung:*not sure* University, maybe?

The three boys who come a little later than the two boys ask about their friend who they haven't seen for a whole day but receive the answer that they have pretty much expected. They sighed and get inside wandering to their own room. Having their good night rest still with some worrisome inside their heart about their friend who they haven't seen for the whole day.

The mentioned boy, Felix, is inside his room but haven't even touch his bed. He close his diary which he have written even after he heard his friends coming back to their own room. Sighing and letting his tears down. The tears that he have kept hidden for the day. The tears just seems can't be stopped. He sniffed and try to keep it quiet not wanting to alert everyone who is inside their bed already. Some even already inside their dream.

Felix:*sobbing* Why am I so useless? Why am I crying alone here? I am so useless.

And just like that, his day end with tears streaming down his face making him tired and eventually fell asleep on his desk. Morning come and nothing meaningful change.

Jeongin:*enthusiastic* Good morning!
Hyunjin:*hugging* Jeongin, I miss you!
Jeongin:*whine* You cuddle me last night!
Hyunjin:*hugging* I still miss you.

Chan: Good morning kids.
Seungmin: Good morning *smirk* father.
Changbin:*laugh* Chan hyung really look like an uncle in the morning.
Chan:*smirk* A handsome one.
Seungmin: Handsome? You sure?
Changbin:*laugh* Got you right.

Minho: Jisung, any plans today?
Jisung: Not really, why?
Minho: I want to buy something. Accompany me?
Jisung: Sure.

Jeongin: Where is Felix hyung?
Chan: He hasn't go to university yet?
Seungmin:*confused* He did?
Minho: Let me check.

Minho come to the mention boy room and knock wanting to wait for response but nothing was heard.

Minho: Felix? I'm coming in.

The mention boy is there, on his desk, black circle as dark as the tire on Chan's car. Minho shook the sleeping boy slowly.

Minho: Felix? You need to wake up now.
Felix:*wake up* Oh, why are you in my room?
Minho: I knock on your door several time but you didn't response. So I came in and you are still sleeping.
Felix:*realize* Oh, thank you hyung. I'll come down after I'm done taking a shower.
Minho: I'll leave you some breakfast.
Felix: Thank you hyung.

Chan: So, where is Felix?
Minho: He is taking shower. I'm worried 'bout him.
Hyunjin: This late?
Minho: I just woke him up. He seems tired.
Changbin: Seungmin, is the class getting harder?
Seungmin: Not really, we have several free time this week.
Jeongin:*running out* Hyung, I need to go now. *waving* Thank you for breakfast. See you later!

Jeongin going out from the door heading to the university followed by Changbin and Hyunjin who needs to go to school earlier than usual. Felix came down after three of his friends go to university, three of his other friends is getting ready for university. The only one left in the dining room, purposely try to eat slowly, to have a conversation with Felix.

Minho: Is something bothering you Felix? You haven't been eating with us since last month.
Felix: I'm fine hyung. Nothing happened. It's just that I just want to be alone sometime.
Minho: You know that you can find me anytime, right?
Felix:*smile* I know hyung, I know. You no need to be worried about me, I'm fine.
Minho: Okay then, I need to leave now. I hope to see you at dinner later.
Felix: I will try. Have a good day.

Minho left the dining room and go to university. Felix sit there alone staring on his supposed to be breakfast. The breakfast that was left by his friends. He stare at it not touching it even an inch. He grab the plate and throw the food to dustbin rather than eating it. He close the dustbin and walk away not even glancing back to his now thrown food and proceed to his day.

Dinner time come and half of the dorm's members already seated on their own place surrounding the table. Talking and complaining about their university day, wondering where the rest are, and joking with each other.

Jeongin:*excited* Guess what, Mr. Im gave us a new project just now.
Changbin: Aren't you supposed to be annoyed?
Jeongin:*excited* Nah, I am in the same team with Chenle. My score is going to be the highest!
Hyunjin: Good for you, Mr. Kim assigned us a projects but put me and Jeno together.
Seungmin: It's good then. You will have your together time.
Hyunjin:*roll eyes* It's not a good thing no matter where you see it.
Changbin: Where are the others?

Chan: Miss me?
Seungmin: No. Is Felix with you?
Minho: He hasn't come home? He told me he will be here though.
Hyunjin: Not yet.
Jisung:*hug Jeongin* I need cuddle. I hate Mr. Park class.
Changbin: I don't really like his class that much but it still better than Mr. Jung class.
Minho:*worried* Have you tried calling Felix?
Jeongin: Not yet, he doesn't like it if we call him for that kind of thing.
Minho: I will call him for a while.

Minho come out of the dining room and went to his room to call Felix who told him that he will tried to go home joining others with dinner. He tried to called him but he doesn't pick up. He tried it again and it went to the same way. He tried it again and he pick up at last.

Minho: Where are you?
Felix: Why hyung?
Minho: Don't you said you will come home for dinner?
Felix: I am on my way home. Feel free to eat first.
Minho: We will wait for you. Come home quickly.

Minho close the phone and something so bothering him. Felix's voice seems broken. Did he cried before is something that linger across his mind. He walks out and looks at Felix's room. He know it is wrong but something is dragging him to go to his room and look for something that is not supposed to be there. Without knowing he already stand there, infront of Felix's room which they rarely step inside. Hand on the door knob ready for pressing it and going inside anytime.

Chan: Minho? What are you doing?
Minho:*startled* Hyung, you scared me.
Chan:*raise an eyebrow* What are you doing? Going in Felix's room?
Minho: Something feels off with Felix. I know that he doesn't like it, but I feel like of we don't save him anytime now, he will do something dangerous.
Chan: He does seems distance this few weeks. But I don't think going inside his room will help anything.
Minho: I don't know, it's just that I have some kind of feelings that tell me he kept sometimes dangerous here. Should we check it out hyung?
Chan:*sigh* I'm worried about him. If you really want to check his room don't do it tonight. He gonna come home soon. Me, you, and Jisung don't have class tomorrow. Let's check it tomorrow.
Minho: You are right. Let's go down for dinner.
Chan: Not waiting for Felix?
Minho: We will wait, we will eat when he came home.
Chan:*smile* Okay, I'll change my shirt first.
