Work Text:
"Hey, do you want to come with us? We want to celebrate your award a bit today", you hear Bang Chan as he asks you and a few more younger staff members. For a moment you look at the others and when they all nod you also agree. Bang Chan starts to smile and give you all a thumbs up.
"It's been a while since they ask us to hang out with them", Danbi, your best friend under the staff, whispers, getting all excited. She claps her hands in tiny and it's just so sweet. When you two meet glances you smile at her and she returns it.
When the boys left, five staff members including you follow.
"I will drive today", you shout waving with your keys.
When you arrive at the hotel you all stay at you drive into the underground car park.
"Now let's go. They are probably waiting for us", you say, getting out of your car.
"What do you think we will do?"
"Probably drinking a bit and maybe play a game?"
"Oh truth or dare would be nice." But you just roll your eyes. It's not like you all are 16 year old students anymore.
A few minutes later you knock at Chan's hotel room. The door gets open slowly and Chan is standing in front of you.
"You all really came. Come in."
As you enter the hotel room, you hear the other men talking and laughing.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Do you have juice?"
"Well I have grape juice", he jokes and you just roll your eyes.
"I mean real juice." Chan starts to laugh and pulls an apple juice bottle out of the fridge. "Thanks."
As the others choose their drinks you already walk towards the other members.
"Oh you arrived", Changbin says as he spots you first. You nod and give him a big smile.
"Yes", you say. "Where can I sit?" Immediately Changbin makes a bit place next to him. Slowly you walk towards him and sit down. You would lie, saying you didn't like Changbin. But of course he was out of your reach.
"Hyunjin don't give me that look", you hear Changbin hissing. It was probably not meant for your ears but you still heard it. What did he mean?
"Sooooo what do you want to do?", Danbi asks after she sat down between Jeongin and Chan.
"It's kinda funny how all of you are silent now but in the car you hoped we would play truth or dare", you laugh, exposing your friends.
Jisung, Changbin and Hyunjin start to laugh and even the other members have a smile on their face.
"But to be honest I kinda like the idea", Changbin says, giving you a little smile that nearly melts your heart.
"Alright, then let's begin", your best friend says enthusiastic. What's with her today? She is even more hyper as usual. Lightly you are shaking your head while you watch her putting an empty bottle in the middle.
For the first few rounds you just watch the others play until the bottle stops in front of you. You look at your best friend who twisted the bottle.
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth is kinda boring… so dare", you say, sitting up a little bit. You feel Changbins eyes on you and it makes you all nervous.
"Alright guys a nice dare or a bit nasty?"
"Nasty!", some of them shout. Of course they say that. You roll your eyes.
"Maybe you should have chosen the truth", you hear Changbin whisper next to you. When you look at him, you shake your head and smile.
"Don't underestimate me, Changbin-ah", you answer.
"Oh I have a dare", your best friend says, smiling all sly. You raise an eyebrow. "You have to identify four of the Stray Kids members just by touching their abs." You look at her in disbelief.
"What?"
"You heard me right, darling." All you can do is to roll your eyes. Slowly you stand up.
"That's gonna be so funny", you hear Jisung whisper and shoot him a warning glance but he only starts to laugh.
"I'm lucky that you all are already drunk."
Chan stands up and gives you his sleeping mask with a wide smile.
"There you go." You take it and put it on.
"Just so you know my hands are freaking cold."
"And don't make any sounds or they will know immediately", you hear one of your friends say.
"Let's get it started yeah!", you sing, making everyone laugh. You hear someone walking up to you and you feel how your hands are slowly lead to a body.
"Oh come on I can feel anything when you wear a hoodie", you hiss, making the others laugh. You also feel the body in front of you shaking.
"Well that's kinda true. Just pull it up", you hear Han.
"Thanks Jisung. Now I know it's not you."
A few seconds later you feel warm skin under your hands.
Carefully you keep touching the Man in front of you. Also grabbing his sides. "That's quite difficult but I think… Gosh… that's really different but I think it's Jeongin or Felix." A surprised murmur appears.
"Well you have to choose", you hear Chan saying.
"Then I will go with Jeongin."
"Alright next one."
"What? Do I not get the answer right away?"
"No, because it would get easier with every member."
You let out a sigh and just hold your hands in front of you.
"Next one!"
You hear Minho laughing.
"They can't wait to feel the next body." You stick your tongue out in the direction where you think Minho is sitting.
You feel that someone is approaching you. And a second later you feel skin against your fingers. You do the same thing like earlier.
"Woah now I'm not sure anymore whether the first person is Jeongin."
"Do you want to change it?"
"No! First person Jeongin and the second person Felix."
You can hear a little giggle and start to smile, because you know who is standing in front of you.
"Person number three is now standing in front of you." You nod and lightly touch the skin.
"Woah", you whisper, because you didn't expect those kinds of abs. Some of the others start to laugh and you can also feel the person in front of you shaking. Softly you grab his sides.
"Chan."
"Why do you think that?", your best friend asks, sounding surprised.
"Because Chans body figure is not so curved than others but he is not as slim as Hyunjin for example."
"It's kinda scary that you know so much." You roll your eyes but of course they can't see it.
"I'm part of your stylist team. I've seen pretty much everyone of you half naked."
"Let's not talk too much. This takes more time than I thought."
"And person number 4." Softly you touch the upper body of the person in front of you and you start to smile.
"Changbin."
"That was fast!", you hear Jisung laughing.
"It was because of his belly fat", Seungmin teases Changbin.
"Yah!" Suddenly it gets loud in the hotel room. Slowly you pull down the mask and look at the others. Changbin is on top of Seungmin doing whatsoever.
"Now tell me how many did I guessed right?"
You look at your best friend and then at Chan who is sitting next to her. He gives you a wide smile.
"All of them."
"All of them?", you ask surprised. You do a little dance and then just smile. "I'm the best. Wup wup."
Your best friend doesn't look too happy but you just blow her a kiss and sit down.
A few seconds later Changbin falls down next to you but doesn't look at you at all.
The game continues but all you can think about who Changbin suddenly acts kinda cold towards you.
"Binnie are you alright?", you whisper, touching his shoulder softly.
"Everything is alright", he say but you know nothing is alright. What could it be?
"It's your turn again", Hyunjin says towards you.
"This time I'm gonna choose truth. The first dare was enough for me."
"What do you like more, abs or no abs?", one of the other staff members asks with a sly smile. You feel Changbin shifting next to you. For a moment you look at him. He looks distracted, his one hand on his stomach.
"Well abs are always amazing", you start and the boys are already going crazy. "But! I just think no abs just hit different. First of all, it just looks so cute and cuddling is even more amazing." After saying it, you suddenly feel embarrassed and your ears get hot.
"Yah, Changbin maybe you have a chance after all", Seungmin shouts and starts to laugh. He is absolutely drunk.
"Seungmin, be quite or I will come over again!"
A little sigh leaves your lips and let your head fall on Changbins shoulder.
"I'm tired", you whisper waiting for his reaction. You feel that he freezes for a second but he relaxes again. Slowly you look towards him. "Is this alright?" Now he looks at you and starts to smile.
"Yes that's alright but when you are tired why don't you just go to your hotel room?"
"But the others…"
"Come on, they are all drunk. They will not even notice that you left." You look at the others and then nod.
"You are right."
Slowly you stand up.
"I will come with you."
"You don't need to", you say but Changbin shakes his head. He stands up and together you leave the hotel room.
"Did you mean it?"
"Did I mean what?"
"That you prefer no abs before abs." You give him a smile.
"Yes I do. Why are you asking though?" Now Changbin looks down but his ears betray him, getting all red.
"But you know what's most important to me?"
"What?"
"The character of a person. You can be the most beautiful human being but when your character is rotten everything is ruined."
"Those are some wise words." You start to giggle and bump into him a bit.
You stop in front of your hotel room and Changbin looks kinda sad.
"If you want, you can come in", you ask after a moment of hesitation. For a moment he looks at you surprised but then he softly nods. He is as surprised as you are.
You open your door.
"Hey, you wanna come in?" He rolls his eyes but can hide his smile, as he steps into your room.
You throw yourself on your bed and look at Changbin. He stands there for a moment a little out of place before he sit down next to you.
"Actually I want to tell you something." You sit up again, sitting now right in front of him.
"What is it?"
"I… I have liked you for a while now. And I can't be silent anymore about this. I know you probably don't feel the same but I just wanted to tell you."
"So you tell me that you think I wouldn't like someone like you? Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? You are handsome and so loveable. You are kind, willing to help, quite funny and sometimes sassy, which I absolutely love about you."
Lightly he leans forward.
"So you like my sassy side, mh?" He gives you his typical Changbin smile that makes your heart beat faster.
"Yes because it's kinda attractive." His smile softens.
"It makes me so happy to hear you saying that", he whispers, taking your hand. You start to giggle and softly slap his arm.
"May I kiss you?" You nod slowly with a little smile on your lips. He cups your face into his hands and closes the distance between you two. A moment later you feel his lips on yours. You return the kiss and it feels so lovely.
"I can't believe that happened", you whisper after you two break away. Changbin starts to laugh and nods.
"Believe me I can't believe it too." For a moment you just stare at him and then give him a big hug.
"Can we cuddle?", you whisper.
"Are you sure you didn't drink anything?"
"The door is not locked. You are free to go at any time.", you reply.
"Cuddles it is!" You start to laugh loudly and give him a sweet smile. He just looks at you for a moment before he shakes his head and returns your smile. He lays down on your bed and opens his arms. You let yourself into his arms and hug him.
"I repeat myself but I'm really happy right now", he whispers into your ear.
"Me too, Changbin. Me too."
