Stray Kids were really excited to be with each other, after a long day of practice. They were told to go to a vacation house and to film a Racha log, with all the members. Jeongin was excited for this trip, especially after the fan meeting, all of them needed a long break. As the members left the practice room, they saw two cars that would take them to the place. Jeongin sneaked a peek at Hyunjin, observing which car he would choose and he saw Hyunjin choosing the bigger car with Changbin being the driver. He pondered for a moment if he should follow his boyfriend but it seemed like Chan and Seungmin had chosen that same car as well. So he got into the other car, in the passenger seat, beside Minho and he saw Minho smirking at him.
“Not going in with the other car, I.N-shi?” Minho asked him. “Nope, because I wanna stay with you hyung,” he replied back.
“Yea, right,” and Minho looked at him with a knowing look. Jeongin kept quiet because he knew it was a losing battle with Minho. He pushed down his tiny jealousy as he saw Changbin flirt with Hyunjin from the window. But he knew it’s all fun and games for the camera, so he focused on filming himself and the members in the car.
When they arrived at the house, all the members went through the rooms before the filming. Chan and Changbin went into the game room while Felix and Seungmin went into the swimming pool to have their feets dip in the pool. On the other hand, Han stayed on the couch in the living room with Minho because of his stomach ache. Jeongin went into one of the bedrooms to change his t-shirt as his current t-shirt is sticky with sweat from the dance practice. As he was changing, the door opened and Hyunjin came into the room.
“Baby, I was looking for you,” his arms wrapped around Jeongin’s bare waist as he started to pepper kisses onto Jeongin’s cheeks and neck. “Hyung, we have to film,” Jeongin told him as he lightly pushed him away.
“Just a few more kisses,” and Hyunjin kissed him from his neck, to his cheek, to the nose and finally to his lips. Jeongin responded back as his hands grabbed onto Hyunjin’s waist and pulled him closer. The two of them kissed for some time until a voice came from near the door.
“Guys, stop being embarrassing, hurry up and come to the living room, we are going to start filming again,” said Seungmin and the two of them giggled from the room because Kim Seungmin is really their best friend and their best third wheel.
“Faster change and come out baby,” said Hyunjin as he gave one last kiss to Jeongin and left him breathless in the bedroom. So Jeongin changed his t-shirt and went into the living room. As soon as he stepped into the room, he was asked to choose two people by Minho. Usually he would pick Hyunjin as his first choice but somehow, his gut feeling was telling him that the choice is not about something good. He sneaked a peek at Hyunjin from the corner of his eyes and he saw him staring back at him. So he picked Minho and Changbin, knowing that the two of them are his or rather Stray Kids’s favorite to tease. And he was right, it was about who would be in charge of cooking.
Everyone, except the chosen two, cheered and Hyunjin got up from his place on the couch to hug Jeongin, as usual. He hugged him tightly and gave a peck on his cheek before going back to his place. The rest of the members cheered loudly and Jeongin blushed as he gave a High-5 to Felix. He glanced at the staff that were filming and knew that his hug with his boyfriend would be cut out from the video. But it’s okay, no one needs to know the depth of what truly goes on behind the scenes. Jeongin just needs Hyunjin and the rest of his members.
It seems like his boyfriend shared the same sentiment as him as Hyunjin said they can do anything if all the members of Stray Kids are together during their dinner. Jeongin smiled at that, really, what a sentimental romantic fool. He could feel the overflowing love he has for Hyunjin and the members as they sang their own songs.
After singing for the whole night, everyone paired up to go to sleep. Felix, as usual, grabbed Changbin’s hand, to pull him along to their respective bedroom and Changbin followed along while waving at the rest of them. Chan and Seungmin went up together to their bedroom while Minho carried Han up the stairs to their one. Jeongin waited for Hyunjin to wake up, as he was sleeping on his shoulder on the couch.
“Hyung, let’s go up and sleep in the bed,” said Jeongin. “Hmmm… okay,” Hyunjin mumbled. “Carry me?” He asked him. So Jeongin carried Hyunjin on his back as he went up the stairs. He’s glad their room is the nearest to the staircase because as much as he would love to carry Hyunjin anywhere he wants to go, his arms are not cooperative. He put Hyunjin onto the bed before asking him, “Hyung, wash up before you sleep, please.”
“I.N ah, do you ever have the urge to show our love to everyone?” Hyunjin asked him. He started to get up from the bed and came to hug Jeongin. He mumbled to his ear, “I want everyone to know that I love you, and only you. But I also don’t want people to dictate what I should and should not do if they find out about us. I especially don’t want Stray Kids to be attacked because of us. But I love you so much I.N ah, and I cannot hide this love.”
“Hyung, it does not matter for me that we hide our love from the public. I said it before, I don’t hide my love from you, and the members. That’s all that matters, just us, and Stray Kids.”
“Don’t you feel upset that the staff keep covering our actions? Sometimes, I want to purposely do or say things about my love that they cannot cover up,” Hyunjin grumbled.
“Of course I feel upset that our actions are covered up, but hyung, whatever they do doesn’t erase my feelings for you. In a way, we can treat it as a protection for our love and the members, no?” Jeongin pressed a kiss to Hyunjin’s forehead, “I love you hyung.”
“I love you too, I.N ah. Now let’s wash up together.”
As the two of them washed up and got into the bed to sleep, Jeongin closed his eyes with a smile, Hyunjin wrapped in his arms. He knows that their love is on a dangerous path but it is also safe with all the members.
