Troubled Youth || Stray Kids

Chapter 17

Alright then. More shenanigans in the basement, drinking, smoking, and sexual innuendos. I refuse to write smut, but these are horny teenagers, so they are going to talk about it.

If you don't know the game mafia, look it up. They play it in this chapter, it's easier to understand if you know the game beforehand.

Thank you for reading!

Jisung sat in his bed, staring at the ceiling as if expecting something to change. He could pretend that he never said anything to Minho, never hurt Felix's feelings, never heard Minho say anything.

Because now, a few days later, and he knew it couldn't last. Felix had been better towards him, but it only made him feel worse. His insides twisted each time Felix said goodbye to Changbin to spend time with Jisung because Jisung knew he didn't want to be there.

Felix had, at least, not taken the room at night so Jisung wouldn't have to spend the night next to Minho. Jisung already planned to spend the night with Chan if Felix decided to go at it again.

But it was a Friday, and Chan had announced that they would be going back down to the basement. The basement. Where, last time, Jisung had fallen asleep and woke up to Minho's beautiful face and the nickname 'Sunshine'.

Jisung sighed again. He didn't want to remember that night, when he began to have hope, to see another side of the boy who had previously just been an asshole. When he thought that maybe, just maybe, Minho could return his feelings. Instead, Minho said he had feelings but so obviously rejected him, resolutely said no. Jisung couldn't help but feel hurt.

His self-loathing was interrupted by the door opening. Jisung assumed it was Changbin and was proven correct when he heard the older boy clear his throat to speak.

"Jisung?" He said hesitantly, so Jisung propped himself up to make eye contact with the boy.

"Yes?"

"Um, we are all meeting in Chan's right now, you the last one. They sent me to, um, collect you? I think that was the word Lixie used," Changbin said awkwardly.

"Oh shit, really? What time..." Jisung trailed off as he checked the clock by his bed.

9:56

They were supposed to meet at 9:45. How had Jisung managed to fuck up such a simple thing?

"Shit, sorry!" Jisung spoke quickly while trying to roll out his bed. However, his foot got caught in his blankets, leaving to fall less than gracefully to the floor. He looked up to see Changbin fighting a smile at Jisung's misfortune.

"Shut up" Jisung grumbled while standing up properly.

Changbin didn't respond (not that Jisung expected it from the taciturn boy) so together they walked the few steps from their dorm to Chan's. Changbin opened the door and ushered Jisung inside, where everyone else was waiting.

Felix and Chan were talking, but stopped once they noticed Jisung. Hyunjin and Seungmin were unbothered, barely sparing him a glance as they continued their own talk. Jeongin appeared to be asleep on Seungmin's lap. Minho was deeply interested in his fingernails.

"Sorry guys, I didn't check the time," Jisung said awkwardly while rubbing his neck. Chan nodded and stood up, causing Felix to pout a little. Jisung decided to solve that by diving into his best friend's arms and holding him tightly. Felix sighed in relief as he wrapped his arms tightly around Jisung.

"Alright, we can head down in groups again. Same groups, except you three are going second instead of last" Chan gave Hyunjin, Jeongin, and Seungmin a pointed look, causing Seungmin to blush.
