Chapter Text
"My boyfriend, and Seungmin's brother."
~
"Brother?!" Hongjoong exclaims.
Felix nodded and summoned an ipad out of thin air.
Seongwha and Hongjoong gave eachother a confused look as Felix searched something- no, someone- up.
Felix smiled when he found the picture he was looking for.
"The person on the right. That's Jeongin." Felix murmered pointing at Jeongin. "Jeongin's family adopted Seungmin when he was only 8, I think."
"Who's the guy next to him?" Seongwha pointed to the boy next to Jeongin.
Felix felt the corner of his mouth lift a little. "That's Hyunjin. Seungmin's best friend."
Hongjoong grabbed the ipad and scrolled through the photos, stopping on a random one.
It was a photo of Seungmin and Hyunjin napping together on the sofa.
"Seung-ah looks so small compared to him!" Seongwha laughed softly at the sight of Seungmin's face all squished up in sleep.
~
It's been 3 weeks since Seungmin had his panic attack in the market. Felix and Seongwha had been on high alert for any hints Stray Kids had been anywhere close.
Little did they know Stray kids was searching too.

"Chan, I swear I saw him at the market! I swear it was him, please believe me!" The young orange haired boy cried out.
Chan winced and softly grabbed Jeongin's arms. "Innie, Innie, listen to me. We believe you. We just don't understand how he just disappeared."
Jeongin looked broken. "I just want my brother back." When Jeongin's voice cracked on the last word, Minho could see the tears forming in his eyes.
"Oh Innie... come here," Minho opened his arms and Jeongin collapsed into his embrace and sobbed. Minho looked at Chan with a devastated look on this face.
"We'll find them," Chan's voice trembled. "We will find them no matter what."
The silence stretched long, the only sound that could be heard were Jeongin's quiet sobs. Felix and Seungmin's disappearance had hit them all hard, especially Jeongin and Hyunjin. The first three weeks of them being gone was the worst for them. Hyunjin never left his room for anything but to eat. Jeongin was much worse. He became a ghost of who he once was. Jeongin's mind had shut down once he realized Felix and Seungmin were gone.
~
Hours later, a door slammed open.
Jisung tumbled into the room, a pen and Felix's old iPad trailing behind him. "I found out how we can find them!" Jisung exclaimed quite loudly. "Three weeks ago, Felix's iPad disappeared for a few days then when is came back to us, it was glowing yellow." Jisung moved the Faintly glowing iPad closer to Chan. "Whenever Lixie touches tech, it glows yellow after. Felix had the iPad for those few days."
Jeongin stared at Jisung with wide eyes, a look of disbelief scratched onto his face. "Felix can only summon thing if he is under 550 miles away... they were close to us! Chan! Can you track where the iPad has been in the past month?" Jeongin had stopped crying and know had a triumphant look of hope blooming on his face.
Chan flinched lightly but nodded. He rarely copies others powers without Changbin with him. The last time he had done it alone, Chan had copied to many powers and had a mental breakdown. Chan took a deep breath and focused on his sister's, Hannah's, tracking power. He felt the energy fill him. Chan groaned lightly, quiet enough that no one in the room could hear, as he suddenly got a terrible headache.
Ignoring the pain in his head, Chan placed his palm on the iPad and closed his eyes.
~
When Chan finally opened his eyes, he is met with Changbin's worried eyes. "Nngh.. Binnie? How long was I out for this time?" Chan slowly sat up, leaning his head on Changbin's shoulder.
Changbin let out a small sigh of relief and kissed Chan's forehead. He hesitated before answering Chan's question. "... It was almost 2 hours this time, Chris." Changbin looked down and gripped Chan's hand tightly. Chan smiled softly and rubbed the back of Changbin's hand with his thumb.
Chan gripped Changbin's hand tighter as a tear slipped down his cheek. "I w-wasn't able to track t-the iPad.. 'M sorry.." Chan rubbed his eyes with his knuckles and let out a shuddering breath. Changbin hummed lowly and rubbed Chan's back, tickling him a little. "It's okay, Channie. There are many other ways to track things."
"Chan-ah, Bin-ah, Hyunjin made sandwiches, come eat." Minho stated leaning on the door frame. Changbin nearly jumped out of his skin. "Jesus! Ever heard of knocking?"
Minho smirked. "You're so pushy about knocking ever since you walked in on me and Jisung-" Changbin cut off Minho by letting out a strangled scream and covered Chan’s ears. “Minho. We made a pact to NEVER speak of that again.” Changbin aggressively whispered while glaring at Minho.
“Yeah yeah yeah hurry up, lover boy. Hyunjin is gonna be pissed if you both skip lunch today.” Minho smirked and strutted away.
Changbin started to get up when suddenly he was pulled back down the and a pair of lips smashed onto his. Changbin’s eyes widened then fluttered shut as he kissed back. “Binnie.. I really… really like you. Be my boyfriend?” Chan whispered between kisses.
Changbin could only nod and his hands slipped under Chan’s hoodie. “I think we can be late to lunch today. Don’t you think?”
