Hello Stranger (ChanChang)

Changbin

*Changbins POV
Monday rolls around and my alarm goes off. I groan and shut it off. I didn't want to go to school.

*ping

Who the hell was texting so early? I grab my phone again and look at the notifications.

Jisung sent me a message.

Jisung: get up. I know how you are on Monday mornings. I'll be coming by to walk with you to school.

I didn't bother to send him a text back. I groaned and got out of bed.

I hit the shower and got dressed. I hated wearing uniforms but my school wasn't so strict with them. Like they didn't have strict rules on how we should be wearing them.

I wrap the tie around my neck and fix it loosely around me. I was putting on my socks when I hear a knock on my door.

I rush to the door and open it and see Jisung standing there with a smile on his face.

"Here you go." He says as he hands me a cup of coffee and donut.

"My favorite. You shouldn't have." I say and gladly take the food.

"Yeah yeah. It's tradition." Jisung says with a roll of his eyes.

I smile and take a sip of the hot liquid. Sighing in relief at the taste.

"Almost ready?" Jisung asks as he takes a seat in the couch.

I nod and rush back to my room and grab my rings, phone and backpack. Placing my keys in my pocket and wallet in my backpack.

"Hey, should hit town again." Jisung spoke up as he was on his phone.

"Can't today. I have work." I say as I finish up my donut.

Jisung hums. "I'll stop by then. We can get dinner."

"I get off at 8pm. If you're willing to starve yourself till then." I say and put my shoes on and Jisung doing the same.

"That late? Ugh fine I'll wait." Jisung says and opens the front door.

I lock the door and we make our way to school.

"Why did you want to hit town again?" I ask.

"Minho wanted to get lunch with us today. But I'll cancel." Jisung was typing out a message.

"You're going to cancel? A lunch date with The Minho hyung." I say with a chuckle.

Jisung rolls his eyes and pushes me slightly.

"Yes. If he isn't going to make a move then I'll play hard to get."

I laugh.

"See you later today then." Jisung says and waves. I wave back and enter my house.

I sigh as place my things down.

I wanted to take a nap after a long day of school. But I couldn't. I had to get ready for my job.

I didn't want one in the first place. But my parents thought it'd be good for me to become a responsible young adult.

I take off my tie and unbutton my shirt. Replacing it with a white tshirt and tucking it in my jeans. I grab my black baseball hat and put it in my head.

I grab my name tag and place it on my shirt. I take off my rings and place them on the dresser.

I check the time and had 10 minutes left. Shit. I hurried out my house and to my job.

A simple gas station job. It was easy and slow. So I was able to do my homework and study during my shift.

Just have to hold out for 5 hours.

*Jisung POV
Changbin needs a boyfriend

Jisung: Changbin has work today

Minho: Chan is staying late tonight

Hyunjin: what can we do? We literally don't know their schedules.

Minho: for now, nothing. Not yet at least.

Felix: I better be getting this food that was promised.

Seungmin: food wasn't even promised

Jeongin: it was implied

Felix: I better be getting food or I'll be fighting everyone here. So be ready to catch these hands.

Jeongin: even me? 🥺

Felix: of course not you baby! I'd never hurt you

Jisung: whipped

Hyunjin: ^

Seungmin: ^^

Felix: leave me alone! Hyunjin is whipped for Seungmin!

Hyunjin: hey! Leave me out of this!

Minho: this chat is a mess

*Changbins POV
I sighs as stock the shelves. Putting the bag of chips neatly in them. At least trying to.

I hear the door open and the bell ringing.

I stand up and was about to greet the customer.

"Oh it's just you." I say with a laugh.

Jisung pouts and places a hand on his chest.

"Ouch hyung. That hurts."

I laugh again and finish my task and grab the box and head to the register.

"What are you doing here so early?" I ask as I lean against the counter.

Jisung hums and looks around the empty store.

"Just wanted to stop by and prepare dinner for us." Jisung says as he walks to the ramen aisle.

"You know I eat ramen almost everyday." I groan out.

Jisung chuckles. "Yes, I know. But it's not for you. It's for me. I came here to get some rice and drinks. I bought meat."

He holds up a plastic bag that I didn't even notice he had.

"Ooh you're cooking meat for me?" I say smugly. He nods and gets the other items he needs.

"Is it okay if I spend the night with you? My parents were hesitant when I asked since it's a school night but I convinced them." Jisung spoke as he places his items on the counter.

I nod and start to scan the items. "Yeah, it is pretty lonely at home."

Jisung nods.

I finished scanning and Jisung pays for the items.

My shift soon ends and we head back to my place. I let Jisung enter first and I close and lock the door behind me.

"We're home." I say out of habit.

Jisung walks straight to the kitchen and takes out all the ingredients.

"I'm borrowing your kitchen."

"Try not to burn the place down." I say and sit at the dining table.

"Ha. Ha." Jisung says sarcastically.

"So what did Minho say when you cancelled?" I asked

Jisung shrugs. "He said it was okay and that he understood."

I nod and pull out my phone. Scrolling through.

30 minutes later and food was ready. Jisung places the plate full of meat and the hot steaming rice in the middle of the table. He grabs the drinks and places them on the table as well.

"Wow this looks and smells great. Thank you Jisung." I thank him.

"My pleasure!"

"Thank you for the food!" We say and start to dig in.

I wonder what Chan was doing right now?
