Christmas Fair🌡️

Sickie: Bang Chan

Chan's POV.:
Officially we were on break over the seasonal holidays but me being the workaholic I am, I wasn't able to sit still and do nothing. That's why I went to the studio to work on some new tracks. It was much more fun to compose stuff if you could just play around a bit with out the pressure of deadlines. I spent most of the day alone at the studio, losing track of time as I tried out new beats. My members were probably resting at the dorm or roaming the city. There was a small Christmas fair in the town center and my phone kept blowing up with begging texts, asking if we could all go there together. After replying that I'd love to go there tomorrow because I'm busy at the moment, I muted my phone to avoid distractions as far as possible. When I finally shut my computer off and bundled into my coat, preparing for the walk home, it was already very late in the evening. I skipped lunch and haven't had dinner yet, so I decided to pick up a bite to eat on the walk home. I'd be passing by the fair anyways, why not get something from one of the food-stands there.

Changbin's POV.:
Chan had been at the studio all day. It was already getting late and one by one my members all went to bed. The only ones remaining in the living room were Jisung and me. We felt a little guilty because our leader was still working and we didn't. After all, it's 3racha that produces the songs for stray kids and 3racha also includes Jisung and me, not just Chan. That's why we grabbed notepads and worked on some lyrics, hoping they'd be of use when Chan would present us the new tracks he was working on. We had both tried to call Chan numerous times over the past thirty minutes to convince him to come home but he never picked up. Then suddenly my phone rang. "Chan?" – "Yeah, hey. I saw you tried to call me?" – "Yeah, we wanted to ask you to come home. It's getting late." – "Ah, I'm already on the way back. Y'all already had dinner, right?" – "Hyung, it's almost midnight. Everyone accept for 3racha is asleep already." – "I'll eat a bit on the way, so it might take a bit longer. Should be home in about twenty minutes." – "Alright, take care, hyung." – "See you." And with that the call ended.

Chan's POV.:
I didn't really enter the fair because I mostly just wanted to get home quick, but I found a food stand on the outer edge of the fair which sold fish cakes. I bought a fish cake and also picked up a small bag of roasted chestnuts to snack on while walking. I stuffed the bad of chestnuts into my pocket, feeling the heat through the fabric, so I'd have my hands free to eat the fish cake. The meal was perfect to warm me up on a chilly night like this. I finished the fish cake and munched two of the chestnuts before arriving home and unlocking the door. After kicking off my shoes, I made my way to the living room, where I sound Changbin and Jisung between scattered sheets of paper. "Hyung, you're finally back", the youngest 3racha member whisper-shouted. "You are aware that we are on Christmas break, right hyung?", the older rapper scolded. "Aish, yes I am", I said directed at both of them, "But hey, I brought you some roasted chestnuts to make up for not being home." Changbin just rolled his eyes at my poor attempt to distract them, while Jisung happily accepted the bag from me, immediately nibbling on one nut. I have to admit, he had never looked like a squirrel more than he did right now. We both chuckled at our youngest before saying good night and getting ready for bed.

The evening seemed to fade out peacefully but the truth was that my belated dinner turned out to have been a mistake. Or at least my food choice had been a mistake. The fish cake wasn't agreeing with me so well. I couldn't remember whether there were hints of it being undercooked or if it tasted weird, I just knew that my stomach wasn't too happy about it. It had started to hurt a few minutes after I arrived home. Slowly the pain increased into cramps, that felt like somebody was stabbing the upper area of my abdomen with a dull knife. I knew that I should just go to bed, everybody else was asleep already. Maybe I'd be able to just sleep it off.
