What about a fic about Chan x trainee but the trainee is a really good producer

I can do that!

How about…

- Trainee hides being a good producer to be able to ask Chan for help

- Trainee plays dumb and gets Chan to spend quality time with them to “teach them”

- Confession at the end!

I need writing ideas! Any suggestions?

Night In The Club With Stray Kids!

———> Description: You go clubbing with Stray Kids and your relationship with Bangchan starts to develop into something more!

———> Author’s Note: I am trying to explore more topics for my fan fictions so if you have any tips or suggestions, I would really appreciate them!

*********************************************************

“Are you ready yet?” Lee Know yells from the living room. He’s been rushing me for the last hour to finish getting ready but I’m still just going at my own pace.

“It’s only 9:30! The club doesn’t open for another half hour so calm down and stop yelling at me!” I yell back.

“Don’t listen to him! Take your time.” Felix says and I can hear Lee Know complaining that I’m taking too long. I roll my eyes and continue putting on my mascara.

I finish my mascara and walk over to the floor length mirror that sits in the corner of my room by the closet. I look in the mirror at the dress I chose to go clubbing in tonight.

The dress is all black with a corset bodice, sheer long sleeves, and the dress reaches my mid thigh. As long as I don’t bend down too low, I should be ok! I paired the dress with black, strappy heels with laces that wind up my leg.

As I finish making sure my outfit is complete, I grab my purse and walk out of the guest room that I have been staying in. Chan offered for me to stay in his extra room since I was only in Korea for a few weeks. I tried to refuse because of how inconvenient it would be for him and the kids but he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Chan said to me one day on the phone, “We have an extra room that isn’t being used and we would all like a little company! Besides, do you really want to pay for a hotel for that long?” He was right but I just don’t want to be in the way.

I realized the turn of my thoughts and quickly focused on making it to the living room without falling on my face.

“I swear these heels are going to be the death of me!” I whisper as I adjust them mid-step to make sure they are on right and won’t slip off.

I can hear their voices before I even enter the room. As soon as I walk into the living room, all of their eyes land on me and they stop talking.

They just stare.

“Are you guys ok?” They just continue to stare so I head towards the door to rush them along. As I am about to open the door to leave, I feel a hand land on my arm.

I turn around and see Chan standing by my side. With him so close to me, I can’t help but notice how handsome he is. He is always handsome but tonight, he takes it to another level.

Chan is wearing a black button up dress shirt with two buttons undone, black ripped skinny jeans, and his usual combat boots.

I try to think of something to say so he doesn’t realize I’m staring.

“Do you have any other shoes besides the boots? You wear them every day.”

“I know you love these boots so don’t even say that but do you realize how you look?” Chan says.

Did I wear the wrong dress? Maybe black isn’t my color!

“It will be hard keeping all of the guys away from you tonight. If other guys will think about what I do when I look at this dress, you will be sticking by our sides all night so nobody steals you away!” Chan says as he retracts his arm and turns towards the other guys.

Lee Know and Changbin are dressed in similar outfits to Chan but Changbin’s shirt is tighter than the others to show off his muscles. Hyunjin is in black jeans with a white button up shirt with gold jewels decorating the sleeves. Han is wearing black dress pants, a white dress shirt, and a black jacket with silver chains running along the pockets. Felix is wearing a similar outfit to Han but with a long black and red jacket that goes down to his knees and rings adorning his fingers. Seungmin is wearing black jeans, a white shirt, and a black jean jacket with gray accents. The youngest, I.N, is wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, dark gray dress pants, and silver chain necklaces. All of the boys are hard not to stare at when they always look like they walked straight out of a magazine.

When I finally stop myself from staring and meet their eyes, they are all smiling. I guess I have been caught.

Choosing to ignore them, I say, “If we don’t leave now, we won’t make it out of the door tonight so let’s go.”

I quickly walk out of the door and I can hear the boys continuing their conversation from earlier as one of them locks the door. I make it to the elevator at the end of the hallway. The dorm for Stray Kids members is in one of the many buildings JYP owns for trainees and debuted members. Recently, they were able to upgrade to a bigger dorm instead of the two dorms they were sharing. In one dorm was Chan, Han, Changbin, and Hyunjin and Lee Know, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N shared the other.

I make it to the elevator and press the down button to take us to the ground floor. When the elevator opens, we all pile into it and just barely fit with all 9 of us.

“Lee Know, stop touching my butt!” Han says as he tries to turn around and tell him to his face but there is no room for him to move.

“Sorry.” Lee Know says while smiling. Of course he isn’t the least sorry.

Everybody is talking amongst themselves while I take out my phone to check and make sure we know where we are going.

“The club we are going to is about a 10 minute walk from here so it’s not too far. We should make it there right as they open.” I say as I check the time, 9:50 pm, and put my phone back in my purse.

The elevator dings as the doors open and all of the guys move to exit at once, Han knocking me over in the process as he almost trips through the doorway. I.N catches me right before I fall into the side of the elevator by grabbing my waist with one hand and my arm with the other. Once he makes sure I am settled back on my feet, he lets go.

“Thank you! I don’t want to be breaking an arm before we even make it out of the building.” I say and laugh as I.N smiles.

“As long as you are ok!” says I.N as we catch up with the rest of the guys at the exit of the building.

We walk out onto the street and take a left towards the corner where the club is. It’s a peaceful night with barely anybody on the street and the stars are clear in the sky. It’s the perfect night for walking but I can tell that I am gonna regret wearing these heels later tonight. My feet are already starting to bother me and we haven’t even made it to the club.

After about a 10 minute walk, we make it to the entrance of the club right as it opens. We walk in and the blaring music is the first thing to hit me. The bright lights hit me next.

The club is one of the highest rated clubs in the country with 4.8 stars because of the atmosphere. The music puts the dancers in a trance on the dance floor and the lights set an energetic mood throughout the building. It’s very easy to enjoy a night here even without alcohol.

“Who plans to drink tonight?” I ask

“None of us are. We need to be up early tomorrow.” says Hyunjin as he looks around the place.

I knew that’s what he was going to say. The guys have a photo shoot tomorrow for their upcoming album and it was scheduled for early in the morning instead of the usual afternoon. At least I won’t have to deal with anybody puking on the carpet like last time.

I glance at Han as I start thinking about our last night at the club. He gives a weak smile, knowing that I’m thinking about how he accidentally ordered one too many alcoholic drinks even though he didn’t know they had alcohol in them. I laugh and turn towards a booth in the corner by the bar. I stride over to the seat and sit down on one side. Usually I would head to the dance floor first but I will end up spending more time on the floor itself instead of dancing because of these shoes! It was definitely not a good idea to wear them tonight.

Chan, Felix, and Hyunjin sit on my side of the booth and the rest of the boys fill in the empty seats. We all take turns ordering drinks and everybody sticks to not drinking alcohol for the night.

The night goes by fast and before we know it, it’s 2 in the morning. Everybody took turns dancing and we are all too tired to continue. Sprawled out in the booth, Felix is asleep on Hyunjin’s shoulder and I.N is starting to fall asleep as well.

I tap Chan’s arm and say, “It might be time to go. It’s getting late and everybody is getting tired.”

He nods and stands up from his seat. Chan and I start waking up the boys that fell asleep and everybody heads to the door.

Right before we get to the door, some girls run right in front of us and are too busy laughing to notice that they run right into me. Right before I fall, Chan grabs my arm to pull me back up but my left heel snapped when my ankle twisted. I tried to stand on it but my foot wouldn’t support my weight.

Without any warning, Chan lifts me up and holds me against him as he walks out the door. My arms immediately go around his neck for support and I look up at him.

“Are you ok? You didn’t have to fall for me that hard!” he asks. He starts to laugh and he slightly blushes at his attempt at flirting.

“You say that you are terrible at flirting but your words say otherwise.” I say. I try to make a joke to lighten the intense mood but my heartbeat won’t go back to normal.

Chan holds me closer to his body as we walk on a crowded part of the sidewalk. There is no way he can’t hear my heartbeat but he doesn’t say anything about it.

“You know I can flirt and I know how it affects you.” He looks down at me with a smile and his hand tightens under my knees. I look away from him so he can’t see the blush that comes into my face and I notice that we have made it to the dorm.

Remembering that the rest of the group is with us, I look over Chan’s shoulder and see Han walking while half asleep on Lee Know, Felix walking next to Hyunjin and still looking like he hasn’t woken up yet. Changbin talking to Seungmin and I.N, who looks extremely energetic considering he was just about to fall asleep at the club.

We make it to the entrance to the building and go towards the elevator. As we pass the front desk, the receptionist (very obviously) looks Chan up and down before trying to say something. I give her a harsh look and she closes her mouth without saying anything.

I heard someone laugh beside me and I look up at Chan.

“You say I flirt a lot but it’s not like you don’t reciprocate my feelings! You seem to be jealous.” My face burns brighter from the blush that never went away and I get out of Chan’s arms as we reach the elevator.

“Am not!” I lie and try to hide my blush.

I move into the elevator but Chan keeps a hand on my arm to keep me near him. The rest of the boys get in after us and the ride up to the dorm is chaos.

Han is singing Chandelier by Sia (which he does quite often).

Changbin is telling Hyunjin about the last time he went to the gym.

Lee Know is showing Seungmin pictures of his cats and describing them very loudly.

Felix is telling I.N about the next time he wants to bake brownies.

And throughout all of this, Chan is quietly standing in the middle of it all with a smile on his face. He stares at the kids with such adoration that it makes me smile as well.

The elevator dings and we all get out when the doors open. We make it to the door and Seungmin pulls out his key after almost every other member tries to find theirs but seems to have lost it.

All of the boys, except for Chan, all say goodnight and go into their own rooms not long after.

I say goodnight to Chan and walk to my own room but he follows behind me. I don’t say anything because all I can focus on is walking away from Chan instead of into his arms.

I walk into my room and go straight to my vanity to take off my jewelry. I take off my earrings first and put them on the table.

As I am about to take off my necklace, I feel hands brush lightly on the back of my kneck. I look in the mirror to see Chan behind me pulling my hair to one side and undoing the clasp of the necklace.

I reach up to undo the necklace myself but he playfully moves my hand away. He is standing so close, too close, that I can feel the warmth coming from his body and I have to resist leaning into him.

Chan finishes taking off the necklace and gently puts it on the table. He moved my hair back to where it was and gently grabs my waist to turn me around to face him.

Left speechless, I do want he wants me to and I turn around to face him.

“If we didn’t have the photo shoot in a few hours, we could continue this but maybe we should wait till another night.” Chan says as he takes his hand from around my waist and puts it in his pocket as he takes a step back.

I let a breathe out in relief. Even though I miss his touch, I don’t think I could be this close to him for too much longer. My restraight will only take me so far.

Chan moves towards the door but stops right before he opens it.

When did the door close? Did he close it?

“Pick out a new pair of shoes online and I will order them for you tomorrow. I’m sorry they got ruined but it gave me a chance to be as close to you as I have been wanting to be. Sleep well, love. Goodnight!” Chan walks out of the door and closes it behind him without another word.

After taking a few minutes to collect my thoughts, I change into comfortable clothes and lay the dress over a basket with dirty clothes.

Don’t forget to get the dress cleaned tomorrow!

I made a mental note to clean the dress soon so I can use it for another event coming up. Finishing my nighttime routine doesn’t take long and I’m in bed before 4 am.

Staring up at the ceiling and thinking about the hands that I can still feel lingering on my skin puts me to sleep within minutes. And then I dream…

Chan’s POV

I gently close the door behind me and lean against it. It takes everything I have to not go back into that room and show her everything I wanted to do since I saw her in that dress.

I could never decide but black is her color. The dress was made for her. The neckline and body of the dress accentuated every curve she had and showed off everything in the right places.

She might have missed it but I noticed all of the stares she got tonight. Every guy wanted her because of her body but her personality is what they are missing out on!

When she moved in a few weeks ago, the mood within the dorm instantly changed. After trying to find ways to keep JYP from disbanding the group, she brought her smile and laughter to us.

We have all been so much happier since she came to us and we aren’t letting her go just yet…

This was my idea of how Chan came up with Circus! Let me know what you think!

“We weren’t supposed to film a music video today, right?” Lee Know spins in a slow circle taking in his surroundings. Han is standing beside him and doing the same thing while Chan starts counting the members to make sure they are all together.

“Well if we were, a circus theme is pretty unique,” said Hyunjin. Surprisingly, he was being calm for once and in a situation that freaking out is more expected.

“How did we get here? Chan, Han, and I were in the recording studio but then we ended up here. I don’t know what happened. Where were you guys?” Changbin went to stand next to Chan who was content after he found all 8 Stray Kids to be standing in the same room. Well, a tent is a more specific description. A circus tent to be exact.

All of the members were in a circus-like tent that was decorated with string lights on the ceiling and benches for the audience around the outskirts. Trapeze swings were hanging above their heads, barrels were stationed throughout the tent, and clown masks littered the floor. Each member was dressed in a variation of checkered shirts and black pants with unique accents. I.N’s hair was split dyed pink and blue on the edges with blonde on top, Hyunjin had a chain hanging from his black jacket, and each member had small details painted on their faces.

“I was making brownies in the dorm with Hyunjin. I had turned around to put a spoon in the sink when I ended up here,” said Felix.

Hyunjin started to walk to stand next to Felix but he hit his foot on a box on the ground. It seemed weird that Hyunjin hasn’t been dramatic up until now but he made up for it as he fell to the ground holding his foot and started to scream! With quick glances toward Hyunjin, the rest of the group moved towards the box to see what it was. As soon as Chan bent down to pick it up, a puppet sprang from the top and all of the boys fell backwards in surprise.

“I hate Jack-in-The-Boxes. And I hate clowns. Someone figure out a way to get out of this tent!” Seungmin wipes the dust from his pants as he gets to his feet and paces the tent looking for a way out.

The rest of the members started to look for an opening in the tent as well when Seungmin called out to everyone.

“I think I might have found something.” All of the other members went to the section of the tent that Seungmin occupied to see what he was pointing out. With all of the member’s eyes on a specific spot of the tent, nobody heard or saw when someone entered the tent.

“If you are trying to find the exit, you are looking in the wrong place.” All of the boys turn around and Chan gets in front of them out of an instinct to protect. His eyes went wide as he saw who had previously spoken.

“Why are there two Chans?” Lee Know looked back and forth between the two but found no answers.

“Are you never surprised by anything? How can you be calm right now?” Han asked Lee Know after he had spoken with a straight face.

“Why do you look like that?“ Felix asked the other Chan as he looked him up and down. The imposter looked like Chan but was extremely skinny instead of Chan’s arms that usually had some muscle to them.

“How have you not found the exit? It’s right here!” Han walked through an opening in the tent.

“Now there is another Han.” Lee Know makes another remark and earns a punch to the side from Hyunjin. Lee Know turns to glare at Hyunjin just as he smiles to earn forgiveness. Lee Know rolls his eyes at Hyunjin’s antics.

“Can we stop kneeling behind Chan? My knees are starting to hurt. I shouldn’t have gone to the gym earlier.” Changbin stood up and the others followed his lead but Chan still stayed in front of them.

“What happened to my waist??” said Han in shock but he wasn’t the only one thinking that. The other Han looked the same but different. The same face but different body shape. Instead of Han’s normal soft features and small build, this Han had packed on a lot of muscle and was wearing very rigid type clothing. The clothing was very different from the soft colors and style that Han usually wore.

The rest of Stray Kids, or the other imposters, walked through the entrance and stood next to Chan and Han.

“Why do they all look so different?” I.N moved to stand next to Chan but he was held back by the arm that his leader stopped him with.

All of the imposters looked like the members of Stray Kids but had an opposite feature. Lee Know was smiling at the other imposters instead of his usual scowl. Changbin was the tallest of the group instead of being the shortest. Hyunjin had a buzz cut instead of his long, blonde hair. Felix wore no makeup but still didn’t have his usual freckles. Seungmin had sharp facial features instead of his usual roundness. I.N had a mullet type hairstyle that was the opposite of his usual hairstyle with short hair and a gap in the front.

“Please tell me how you ended up with a buzz cut so I can avoid that situation at all cost. I like my hair!” Hyunjin stared in horror at his double and the hair that had been lost.

“Ummm, I cut it.” The imposter looked at Hyunjin as if he came from another world for asking such a stupid question.

“Huge mistake. You look terrible!” The imposter rolled his eyes but otherwise kept his resting face intact.

Chan, the imposter, silently walks towards his double. Stray Kid’s Chan backs up and keeps the kids behind him.

“If you want to get out of here and return to where you came from, you need to acknowledge why you are here. What has happened to you recently?” Imposter Chan asked. Stray Kid’s Chan took a second to think.

“Our Oddinary album has just been released and we have received a lot of support for it but JYP is considering disbanding our group for not getting enough attention.” Chan said and it is apparent that the rest of the group didn’t know about this as they looked at Chan. Chan hangs his head so he doesn’t have to meet the eyes of any of the kids and see their disappointment.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Felix asked and Chan could hear the hurt in his voice. He lifted his head and saw that all of the members wore similar expressions of sadness on their faces.

“I was hoping JYP wouldn’t disband us so I never had to tell all of you but he most likely will. I’m sorry and I don’t think there is anything I can do.” Chan says. Felix started to cry and he ran to hug Chan.

“You said you wouldn’t leave.” Tears keep falling down Felix’s face as he hugs Chan tightly as if not to lose him.

“I won’t leave you behind. I promise, Felix!” Chan hugged Felix back as he started to cry as well.

Interrupting the moment, imposter Chan said, “I think the reason why you are here is a way for your mind to come up with a solution to your problem. I hope you realize what you need to do. Now, go do it!” Imposter Chan gently touched Chan’s arm and the world went black with Chan still hugging Felix and the rest of Stray Kids holding on to one another.

“Hey! Chan, you ok?” Han’s voice starts to wake Chan up from a spontaneous nap he must have taken. His head was filled with images and conversations of the kids, the imposters, and the circus tent but he couldn’t make sense of any of it. Chan lifts his head to see Han and Changbin leaning over him with worried expressions.

“Yea, I’m ok. Can you hand me my computer?” Chan asks Changbin who is closer to his bag. Changbin nods and grabs the computer and hands it to Chan.

“Are you sure you’re ok? You just suddenly passed out for a second and we didn’t know what to do.” Chan could hear the panic in Han’s voice.

“I’m ok! I had a weird dream but I think it could be what changes JYP’s decision.” Chan opens his computer and opens an empty document to start typing.

“What decision?” Changbin asks but Chan shakes his head.

“Nothing important. I have an idea for a song and a music video so I want to write it down before I forget. However, Hyunjin has to keep his long hair and Changbin has to stay short!” Chan starts typing as Han and Changbin share a look.

“I’m not short, I’m average.” Changbin whispers and Han tries to hide his laugh but fails. Changbin hits Han in his side and that quickly shuts him up.

“I am sure that this will be what saves us and keeps us together. I made a promise to Felix and I intend to keep it!” Chan whispers and smiles as he gets to work on his new song, Circus!

This is a part of a Wattpad SKZ fan fiction I am writing. Want to read more chapters? Give me some writing ideas.

The dorm was complete chaos and I was right in the middle of it. Clothes and shoes decorating every surface, plates of food left out on the counters and dining table, and all eight boys sitting on the couch facing the television.

Knocking hadn’t received an answer so I had walked in and came face to face with the mess the boys of the K-Pop group, called Stray Kids, seemed to think was suitable living conditions. I was a little surprised because the condition of their dorm was a complete opposite of the recording studio they often worked in.

“Han, why are your shoes right in the doorway? You don’t even wear this pair!” I asked as I walked towards the couch.

I had to keep my eyes on the floor to prevent myself from falling on my face.

“I was planning to wear them today but I changed my mind before I left.” said Han.

“Did you guys have to record today? The new album is coming out next month, right?” For whatever reason, what I had just said made all of the boys turn to look at me at the same time.

“How are you our manager and you don’t know the release date of our album?” asked Lee Know.

“You are constantly recording a song whether it is for an album, an episode of SKZ-REPLAY, or just for the fun of it. How am I supposed to know when you are releasing an album?!” They are always so busy so how am I supposed to keep up with everything they do?

“That’s true but didn’t you decide the date of the release?” Considering Bangchan’s repsonse, I remembered what I needed to tell them the other day.

“I forgot to tell you guys but someone else is taking over the decision making for release dates. It’s too much work for me to do when I am always having to check and see if you are living in a house or a barn.” Lee Know and Hyunjin rolled their eyes at what I said so I glared at them both. They were part of the reason the dorm looked like this!

“Well, she does have a point. Start picking everything up while I start on dinner.” Felix started walking towards the kitchen but I ran after him. I grabbed him by the shoulders, turned him around, and guided him back towards the living room.

“As amazing as dinner cooked by our wonderful Felix sounds, let’s keep the kitchen in one piece, ok? You can make brownies for dessert when I’m done!” Felix glared at me but he laughed soon after. I smiled at him and went back into the kitchen.

I connected my phone to the Bluetooth speaker on the counter and started playing Drive by Bangchan and Lee Know. As if I summoned him, Chan came into the kitchen seconds after the song started.

“Why do you always insist on playing the songs with insinuating meanings when you come here?” Chan asked but then he realized what he said. I smiled because I knew I had won!

“So you finally acknowledge that Drive isn’t about driving?” I grab some pasta from the pantry and turn around to look at him. He shifts on his feet and I can tell he is about to say something.

“Have fun making dinner.” Chan says and then leaves the kitchen. I laugh, knowing that I won this battle but he won’t let me win it again. He refuses to acknowledge the true meaning of the song.

I boil some water and then put the pasta in as I survey the kitchen. While I wait for the pasta to finish cooking, I wash the dishes that are in the sink. One of the dishes on top is a pan that Felix must have made brownies in. I shouldn’t have told him to make them for dessert. All of the boys eat too many brownies but I’m not one to talk. Felix’s brownies are a guilty pleasure of mine!

After I finish the dishes, I go back to the pasta when Hyunjin walks in and he goes towards the sink. Just as he is about to wash his hands, I see that they are covered in paint!

“Hyunjin!! Wash your hands in the bathroom sink. I need to drain the pasta and I don’t want it covered in paint. And when did you start painting something?” I ask as I turn back towards the pasta to turn off the water.

“Changbin is in the bathroom and he is taking forever so I have to use this sink. To answer your other question, I just got an idea of something to paint and I didn’t want to forget.” Hyunjin takes his hands away from the sink and starts to walk out of the kitchen towards the bathroom after he heard the door open.

“While you are back there, call everybody for dinner! We are having spaghetti.” Hyunjin looks back at me and nods before walking down the hall and calling everybody for dinner.

After draining the pasta, I finish making the spaghetti and I see I.N walk into the kitchen.

“I.N, can you set the table?” I ask.

“Sure but can you ask Changbin if I need to set a place for him or if he is going to the gym?” I stood up fast and went towards the entrance to the kitchen.

“Changbin! I thought we were eating together, why are you going to the gym?” I see him right as he is about to walk out the door. He turns around and sets his bag on the floor.

“I guess I can go tomorrow. Chan will probably be able to go with me then.” Changbin walks into the kitchen and I go to Chan’s room.

I knock on the door and he calls for me to come in. I peak my head in to see him on his computer.

“When are you not on that computer? If that computer goes missing, it’s like your entire life will end! Come one, dinner is ready.” I roll my eyes and he closes his computer as he gets up. I walk out the door and he follows behind me laughing.

“That’s because there will be no albums for years if that computer is lost. I have written songs for this coming album years ago and they are all on that computer!”

Chan follows me into the kitchen just as Lee Know yells “Hurry up! I’m hungry!”

I roll my eyes (I seem to be doing that a lot these days but it is definitely because of their attitudes) and walk towards one or the empty seats by the head of the table. Chan sits in the seat next to me but I realize that there is no food on the table. I must have forgotten to fix the plates.

“Let’s fix our plates and eat.” Just as I say it, all of the boys rush to the stove where the pot of spaghetti is. Han is the first one to the stove and he fixes a plate for himself and then Lee Know. Lee Know smiles at him, slaps his butt, and then they go back to the table to sit next to each other. I swear they are always together and I still don’t know why Lee Know is always slapping someone’s butt. It’s funny though!

Seungmin fixes food for himself and then for I.N. It’s adorable how he always looks out for him. I know Seungmin wanted to be the oldest member to have a lot of little brothers but at least he got I.N.

By the time we all make it back to the table, Changbin is almost done eating and he is fixing a second helping for himself. Felix and Hyunjin are talking about matching rings they want to get as if they don’t already have enough. Seungmin and I.N are just now sitting down to eat. Lee Know is showing Han pictures of his cats.

Chan is halfway through his food when he turns to me and whispers, “You might not realize this but all the kids have become happier with you around. You seem to bring an air of ease with you and it relaxes all of them when work gets too stressful. Thank you!” He turns back to his food and then starts talking to Hyunjin on his left but he doesn’t realize how his words impacted me.

Chan might think that I helped them but my life has been made so much better just by being around them!

I smile knowing this isn’t the last day I can spend with them like this!
