If you asked Chan which of the members that would become actors he would tell you it would definitely be Hyunjin. He was dramatic with a kdrama lead visual. It was just an obvious answer. Or maybe Changbin. He was funny and charismatic. That was also a no brainer.
He never put much thought into what his members would do after they have retired from being idols. However, if he had to he would bet they would go on and do other things music related. After all music was a passion they all shared. But never in his million years did he expect any of them to be full on actors leaving the kpop world behind.
So, here he was in a nice button down and slacks sitting in a theater. He was at a premiere of a short film. A short film starring two of his members. Two members that he never thought would have acting chops like this. He also never thought the first time he witnessed them argue to be on a big screen. Nor did he expect them to be acting partners.
Chan jumped at the scream coming from the projector. It was Jisung's character, Hajoon. He snorted a little at what he saw his best friend wearing on screen.
A cropped purple sweater and baggy jeans. His hair was brown and grown out for the film. He had on light party makeup in this scene. Sparkling earrings hung from his ears. Chan tilted his head at the pendant dangling from his bellybutton.
"Don't fucking slam my car door Joon!"
Chan made a noise at hearing Minho curse. Well his character curse.
"Kiss my ass Jiho!" Hajoon said opening the car door and slamming it again with much force.
The room snickered at the childish display.
Chan looked over at the Stars to see them sink down in their seats. The older's face turned in confusion. Were they cringing at the cursing? That made Chan snort. Minho and Jisung cursed like sailors behind closed doors. This was nothing.
"Oh yeah?!"Jiho screamed out the window as Hajoon walked down the street at a brisk pace.
It was night in this scene. The two college students just left a party. Jiho entertained his ex too long for Hajoon's liking and now he's giving Jiho a peace of his mind.
"Yeah!" Hajoon screamed back with all his might.
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" Jiho yelled getting out the car.
The crowd laughed as Hajoon flipped Jiho off walking even faster.
"Hajoon is so feisty." Hyunjin whispered to Felix.
Chan snickered.
"Don't make me come get you Joonie! Joonie!"
"Come and get me them! I dare you to touch me right now!"
Chan saw Minho and Jisung sink even further in their seats as the scene went on. They were cringing so hard it was like the 4 your eyes MV again.
He turned back to the screen to see Hajoon fighting to get out of Jiho's hold.
"Help! Kidnapper! Help! Im being kidnapped!"
Jiho rolled his eyes as he carried Hajoon back to the car like his weight was nothing.
Chan chuckled. The scene looked like another day at the dorms.
Hajoon beat his fists on Jiho's back as he withered in his hold. Jiho had enough and pinned him against the hood of the car.
Chan shook his head as he heard the members snicker as they watched the scene unfold.
Hajoon's legs wrapped around Jiho absentmindedly. His fist bunched in his shirt. His face was screwed up in anger and his hair was disheveled. The two stared at each other breathing labored.
"Would you listen to me? Please Joonie?"
Hajoon scoffed turning his face away from Jiho.
Jiho rolled his eyes looking at the sky. He counted to for some time gaining his bearings.
Chan softly laughed at that.
"I'm sorry if I offended you."
Hajoon raised a brow.
"If?"
Jiho sighed again. His patience was clearly wearing thin.
"Yes. I came to the party with you and should have spent more time with you. I'm sorry I disappeared."
Hajoon shook his head.
"That's not what I'm upset about and you know it." Hajoon snapped and kicked his foot into Jiho's back.
Jiho caught his leg and held it higher so he couldn't harm him anymore and pressed him more into the car.
"Stop hitting me. Tell me exactly what I did to upset you like this. Use your words Joonie."
Hajoon stared at Jiho for quite sometime. Then looked away.
"Sooyun." He mumbled.
"Sooyun? What about her?"
"I saw you go upstairs with her."
"Okay?"
"Jiho."
"Hajoon."
The tension in the air was thick and Chan was on the edge of his seat to see how this played out. Will Hajoon and Jiho finally admit their true feelings for each other? In Chan's opinion it had been dragged long enough.
Jisung and Minho have sunk all the way down in their seats. Hiding their faces in cringe. Changbin smirked. This must be that one scene!
"I think this is the scene!" He excitedly whispered to Hyunjin.
Hyunjin looked at Jisung and Minho. He gasped. This had to be! They were too embarrassed for it not to be!
"What are you getting at Hajoon. Just say it. I'm very tired." Jiho sighed in exhaustion.
"You went upstairs with her laughing and smiling! Then didn't come back down for quite awhile. When you did there was lipstick on your neck! You obviously fucked her!" Hajoon exploded trying to strike Jiho again but his fists were pinned above his head.
Then Hajoon screamed eyes welling up in anger.
"What is wrong with you?! We did not have sex! All we did was take shots together. She got handsy so I left. Then went to find you. Even if we did have sex why would you care?!"
"Because!" Hajoon yelled trying to will his tears not to fall.
"Because what?!"
"B-because I'm fucking in love with you asshole!" Hajoon cried out as he weakly hit his fist against the car trying to break Jiho’s strong hold. The tears finally spilling.
You could hear a pin drop in the theater.
Jiho stared at Hajoon with all the fondness in his eyes.
Chan smiled. That was definitely a stare he was used to seeing. Minho has always stared at Jisung with such fondness.
“Oh Jagi..” he sighed.
“Take me home please.” Hajoon sighed sniffing.
“Don’t you want to know what I think of your confession?”
Hajoon scoffed.
“What? That I’m a loser?”
Jiho chuckled, “Well you’ve always been that..”
Hajoon glared at him.
The theater erupted in small laughter.
“I hate you.”
“That confession says otherwise..” he teased.
Hajoon thrashed around trying to get out Jiho’s hold but to no avail he wasn’t strong enough.
Jiho leaned in closer to Hajoon’s face.
“For what it’s worth.. I’ve always had a thing for losers.”
Chan shook his head as he heard his members squeal. Specifically Changbin.
Hajoon stared right back into Jiho’s teasing eyes.
Chan expected a kiss in this short film. Fully prepared for it. Prepared to see a peck. It was a romance after all. What he did not expect was more than a peck..
Jiho kissed Hajoon with no warning or question. It was very impulsive much like his character.
The kiss didn’t stop there.
Full on lip locking action commenced. The smacking was defining in the quiet theater. Chan looked around to shocked faces.
Jisung and Minho had completely put their heads down and hands over their ears.
Chan slowly looked back to the scene to see the kissing had turned to a heated make out session and Jiho was biting at Hajoon’s lips like he wanted to devour him.
Chan’s jaw went slack in shock when a moan left Hajoon’s mouth.
It was soft and needy and just riled Jiho up it seemed. His hands gripped the waist of Hajoon. Unpinning him from the hood of the car. Hajoon wrapped his arms around Jiho’s neck. When Jiho’s kisses led to Hajoon’s neck clearly leaving marks from the sucking noises and the soft sighs leaving Hajoon’s mouth, Hajoon snapped out of whatever daze he was in.
“W-we should get home. It’s getting late..” Hajoon mumbled shyly pulling Jiho out of his neck.
His face was red and he no longer could look Jiho in the eye.
Jiho grabbed his face and redirected his attention.
“Spend the night with me? Then I take you to your favorite cafe in the morning?”
“Spend the night?!” Changbin squealed quietly.
“Ugh this is so gay and I love it..” Felix sighed.
Hajoon gave a small smile.
“Okay. I’d like that.”
Jiho smiled with all teeth. Leaned in and kissed Hajoon again, but before it could deepen Hajoon pulled away with a small whine.
“Yah hyung let me down now! My back is hurting and it’s cold!”
Jiho sighed and unpinned Hajoon from the car and let him down gently.
“Brat..” he mumbled opening the passenger side for him.
Hajoon stuck his tongue out at Jiho as he got in the car.
Jiho rolled his eyes but fondly.
Chan looked over to see all other members and their peers staring at Jisung and Minho with teasing smiles.
•
“That was some kiss..” Seungmin whistled as they all sat and ate dinner together.
Minho ignored him as he continued to flip meat. Jisung ignored the comment as well but his red face proved it had some affect.
“It seemed so natural.” Changbin commented.
“Yeah..like you’ve done it before.” Jeongin smiled.
“Did Hajoon and Jiho really just spend the night? Because in the novel-“
“Ugh! Please shut up!” Jisung groaned banging his head on the table.
Minho snorted rubbing Jisung’s head.
The members giggled as they continued to tease.
Chan cleared his throat.
“You guys did well. I’m proud of you both.” He smiled.
“Thanks hyung.” Jisung smiled shyly.
“Thanks old man. It means a lot.” Minho grinned as he now passed out meat.
Chan rolled his eyes.
“So..Is that belly button piercing real? Because-“
“Ugh!” Jisung groaned letting out a pitiful whine in the process. He hid his face in Minho’s shoulder.
Minho patted his head. Again staring at Jisung fondly.
“Stop teasing and eat.” Minho demanded to the rest of the table.
That didn’t work. The members just kept making comments to further push Jisung into misery.
Chan wore a small smile. All was right in the world. Minsung being teased and Jisung the only embarrassed one out of the two. Typical dinner with Stray Kids.
•
”Ha! You guys are finally on dispatch!” Changbin laughed loudly.
It was true. Minho and Jisung have been trending since this morning. Shippers have lost it over the infamous kiss. Everyone is saying there’s no way the two are just friends after such a kiss.
While the members read the latest news and gossip, Minho and Jisung were in their own little world as usual. So much so that Chan almost missed it.
If Chan paid attention enough he wouldn’t miss the small kiss Minho placed on Jisung’s cheek when no one was paying attention.
Huh.
Maybe that kiss was natural because, Minho and Jisung have done it before off screen.
Maybe the chemistry between is more than just best friends.
“I love you.” Chan heard Minho murmur as he put more food on his plate.
Jisung gave a sweet smile.
“I love you more.” He whispered. Then fed Minho some of his pancake.
Chan chuckled.
Yeah.
They definitely are more than just best friends.
