Hello Stranger (ChanChang)

Chan

*Chans POV
Current time: 2:30 pm
Location: Young High Cafe

I see Minho grabbing and looking at his phone. This was it. The time for their excuse.

"Ah, I got to go. I have an appointment. See you guys later?" Minho asks getting up and grabbing his drink.

We all nod and bid him farewell.

We chatted for a bit longer. And then Hyunjin gets up as well.

"My next shift is about to start. See you guys later. Good luck at practice Binnie." Hyunjin waves goodbye at us and heads to the back of the cafe.

Now it was just him and I. All alone.

Changbin was looking at his drink. Swirling the straw around.

"Practice?" I spoke up.

Changbin looks up at me.

"Ahh yeah. Jisung asked me to help him with his volleyball practice later today." He answered.

I nod. "How come you're not in volleyball? You seem like you'd do well at it."

Changbin giggles. That cute giggle.

"I'm short and don't have good coordination."

"Nonsense! You can be a great defender." I say.

"No good coordination!" Changbin exclaims with a laugh.

I laugh as well. I felt myself relax a little after that talk.

I hope he was feeling relaxed as well.

"Well since we're alone. Why don't we get to know each other. It just seems like we'll be seeing each other a lot." I say and lean forward.

He does as well and hums.

"Alright. How old are you?"

"20. You?" I answer.

"18." He answers.

"So you work? Why?"

He takes a sip of his drink. "My parents wanted me to learn life and responsibility early on. So I had to get a job."

I nod in understanding.

"What do you work as? You dress and look nice." He laughs a little.

"I work at JYPE. I make music for some of the artists." I say proudly.

His eyes light up a bit. "Really?! Ahh that's so cool! I've wanted to work in the music industry. What's it like!"

"It's quite fun! But it does get stressful. Especially when the artist don't like what you produce. And with the busy schedule and what not. That's why I hired Minho." I say.

"Minho works with you?!" Changbin exclaims surprised by the response.

I nod. Did he not know that?

"Yes. You didn't know?" I ask.

He shakes his head. "No. That hyung never tells us anything."

He slightly pouts a bit. He looked so cute.

"You're cute when you pout." I say.

He blushes and looks away from me and down at his hands.

"Th-thank you."

Realizing what I said, I blush a bit and start to stutter.

"Ahh! I-I'm sorry! I di-didn't mean to make you un-uncomfortable!"

He giggles a bit and shakes his head. "It's fine. It's just something I'm not used to."

"People don't compliment you?" I ask.

"Only my friends. But I'm used to their compliments." He says.

I will compliment you for the rest of my life.

He burst out laughing and hides his face.

I look at him confused.

"I appreciate you doing that but don't you have someone in mind to do that?"

What?

"What?" I ask.

"You said you'll compliment me for the rest of your life." Changbin says laughing.

I feel my face heat up.

"Shit! Did I really say that out loud!" I exclaim and hide my face in my hands.

He was still laughing. Maybe it was worth embarrassing myself like that.

"You may be handsome but you can be cute." Changbin says, laughter slowly dying down.

I look up. "You think I'm cute."

He smiles softly and nods. "Cute. But a bit dumb"

"I'm you hyung!" I exclaim.

He laughs again.

The things I'd do to just hear that laugh.
