ok lets talk wips!!!

from the ask that i answered a couple days ago:

soulmate aus that i was almost done with [completed!!!! a win for me!!!!]

like a box of chocolates [both svt and skz] - working title, not set in stone. similar to the flower fics i wrote for svt + trsr back in the day where they all have some kind of trope associated with each kind of chocolate.

bodyswap aus for skz + svt. [woozi for svt, lee know for skz]. - admittedly my plans are on pause because i never came up with group names for the fake idol groups i made up for each. basically soulmate au where they end up swapping bodies until they fall in love with the added complicated layer of both being in a small idol group.

i won't run away [lee know] - fem!reader follow-up to i can't run away [vernon fic] where reader moves on.

keep it simple, stupid! [paboracha] - paboracha are all mutually pining with their respective readers and the rest of skz makes a bet on who will realize its mutual the soonest and confess (or get confessed to). minho's in love with his roommate, hyunjin's in love with his best friend, jisung is in love with his study partner for class.

childhood friends -> lovers [seungmin] - a much more recent idea for seungmin in the same vein as when i grow up where it's snapshots of the two growing up together and falling in love. very much 'one falls first, the other falls harder.'

shadow [UtS poly ending] - the poly au that has some more story to it, imo? more emotional topics and some angst. everyone is in love with everyone.

vague summer svt fic? [full group] - not to be released rn if i go for it, but i'm open to tossing ideas around for some summer-themed fics. might include skz (and if anyone's interested/i feel up to writing them, trsr) as well? it'd most likely be a july release just to give myself time to write all the fics and i'd probably give myself some sort of hard limit on how many words they can be.

ok these next few are chubby!fem!reader so if i do write them, i think they'll most likely get posted alongside something else since ik its not a widespread audience!!

untitled chubby!fem!reader fic [felix] - originally a smau i'll have to reconfigure in the same way as lhc, basically lhc but for felix. set after the best friends -> lovers jisung fic that i wanna rewrite! felix deals with the aftermath of a broken heart and ends up befriending reader who he falls for quickly bc she's cute n sunshine-y. very much lonely hearts club but i'll be removing the social media aspect from it.

chubby!fem!reader fake dating au [seokmin] - college au. reader has never dated before and asks seokmin if he'll go on a date or two with her just to help her get over the scary 'first time going on a date' feelings. he turns her down because fucking up is kind of part of the experience, but ends up agreeing to it after he lies and says he's dating reader to get someone who won't take no for an answer off his back. they agree to fake date until after reader's cousin's wedding... and u kno the drill w fake dating!! these bitches start falling for each other!!!

chubby!fem!reader sculptor/muse [woozi] - jihoon is a grad school art student who needs to diversify his portfolio a Lot (man just keeps sculpting his best friend bc he offered to model for him). soonyoung goes 'i know someone' and gets reader in to be jihoon's new model and oops they start catching feelings for each other over time. also has mentions of past mingyu/reader.

i am like 90% sure theres more because i KNOW i had fics planned around on//ew's (censored to keep out of search results, hopefully) album circle (some of which have initial drafts that i wanna rewrite) and an au built veeeeery loosely around the case 143 mv but i wanna workshop both of those more before i mention em any further.

° A/N: part two to Behind: SKZ Code. ENJOY cause it took me a while... @felixtok @sunnytaes (tagged cause doe said so)

PART ONE

After a while of setting up the art room, we’re all in position. Suddenly I hear a scream… Oh Felix… you poor baby.

“Who wants to bet that Felix will faint,” I ask over the radio.

“I’ll bet my lunch he will.”

“I doubt it. He’s paired with Minho.”

“Naaahhh, he’ll most definitely faint or pee his pants… or both.”

From where I am I can somewhat hear Minho trying to calm Felix but I already know it's not working. Ah this might be another long one. After a minute or two, the two enter the room full of clown pictures.

“Oh it's a clown,” I heard Lee Know say. I wanted to burst out laughing right then and there. Of course he would be nonchalant about this.

“I don’t like scary things. I hate It.” Oh I really hope I win this bet.

All I could hear next is Felix panicking and Lee Know making fun of him. Figures. I glanced over and saw the scaredy-cat on the ground. I am genuinely trying to not laugh since I’m just standing by the window, still as a statue. I can’t get enough man. As they, or well Minho, looks for clues to open the lock box they get closer to the cabinets, where there’s someone hiding. Felix is up for a while… until he goes back down because of the firecracker. Maybe I shouldn’t have included them in the design…. Naaaah. They’re fine. Anyway, I hear Minho reassuring Felix and then BANG. The “ghost” jumps out of the cabinet and Felix immediately screams.

“Oh, that was startling, hello,” Lee Know says calmly. I can’t with this man. Did he figure this all out? Or maybe it's just that he’s a soulless man with no real emotions, forever trapped in a void of nothing.. feeling nothing… or he’s just not a coward. Yep, it’s most definitely the last one. But no more of wondering because it’s my time to shine again. As Felix starts to calm down, I stomp towards them (more like a waddle though) and see the fear in Felix’s face. He screams and is back on the floor, passed out and scarred for life. YES I WON THE BET. I slow down and walk away with a straight face. Once out of the room, I let a bit of my laugh out and went to a window to continue to watch the show.

“Ah I can’t do this,” MAN UP FELIX. See this is what he gets for being a Tik Tok whore.

After a while they finally notice a box in the room. The box is filled with slime, fake bugs, and the passcode. I was hoping that Minho got this room. I know he hates bugs so I hope I actually got him this time…. But alas I did not. Even through his heart attack, he went and got their clue from the slime. I- I’m so disappointed. WHY IS THIS MAN HARD TO SCARE. I’ve been trying over the past few months to figure out how to scare Minho and I’ve got nothing. I mean sure he was startled a few times but I wanna see this man in fear! He’s put others in fear and I think it's payback. And I mean it’s only right for a best friend to scare the shit out of their bestie.

They eventually got the puzzle and went out of the room and down the stairs. Ah… I’ll get 'em next time. At least we got Felix. To be honest, it probably was the easiest.

The next to come to the second floor is Han and I.N. Ahh this one will be quick I bet. As they come up the stairs, I hear Han laugh. WHA- see now, I knew it. Of course he wouldn’t take this seriously. This time I’m hidden with a camera man. I see the two idiots in the window and Han starts to point out the cameras.

“There’s a cameraman here and another one here,” and he keeps going. What is wrong with him? You know what… we’re not inviting him to stuff like this anymore. He’s done. Banned. No more.

They enter the music room and I.N. goes to read the instructions.

“I can’t play the recorder.” I- I’m about to quit.

They go to look for the recorders for a while until Han stops to look at the camera. I swear if he-

“This might be live. Say hello to the camera. Hello~.” The two pinheads wave to the camera and bow to the other. THEY EVEN DID INTRODUCTIONS… I CANNOT! My fight or flight mode has been engaged and it's fully on fight mode.

“Alright Jeff, it’s time to step in.” HOPELESS I SAY, HOPELESS!

They sit down and start making random noises with the instruments. After this… I’m putting my two weeks in. Matter of fact one week. I knew they weren’t going to play the songs given to them so I just scribbled “Just play any song you know”and gave it to the ghost teacher.

“Does anyone have painkillers on them… or a bat to put me out of my misery,” I ask on the radio but all I get back are laughs. How dare they laugh at my pain?? I walk away for a second to get some water and relax. I walk back to hear Han and I.N. putting in the code to the lockbox.

“We should never play detective games.”

“We’d fail.” Yeah no shit!

After a good struggle, Han forced the box open and got the third puzzle piece. And now it's Hyunjin and Seungmin’s turn. We went outside to the last stage of the night and made sure it was ready to go before the boys were sent out. I decided to kick it with the crew who monitored what was being recorded. I watch as one of the staff members takes away their flashlights and Seungmin jumps yelling hey multiple times. I massage my temple and start to chuckle. These guys are… a handful. We continue to watch as they enter the dormitory. Next thing I know… THEY TURN ON THE FUCKING LIGHTS. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I swear… if I could I would hurt each and every one of these boys, even if the oldest one is literally my age. The lights were finally back off and the two went to do their puzzle. I decided to have a little fun with this one. Their mission is DALGONA! I would like to give full credit to Squid Game as I was watching this while coming up with tasks. I already know they’re going to fail but I like seeing them fail.. humbles them real quick. And just in case, I made a backup mission for them to do. We watched them converse for a bit and as I expected, Hyunjin breaks his dalgona. HA! I knew he’d be the first to break it.

As I turn away, I hear Hyunjin start singing the penalty song. Now why the fuck… you know what.. whatever makes them happy. The staff gives them their new mission and they successfully complete it. They get the puzzle piece and make their way back to the rest of the members. Ah, I’m not fully satisfied… I know just what to do. I leave the room and wait a bit from the front entrance. I wait for the boys to get the code for the lock and see them make their way towards freedom. I walk around the corner and see them all scream. And best of all I see Han literally flying away in fear. Ahhh.. just what I wanted to see.

————————

Once the game is finished, the guys start to get ready to leave. But we do have something extra to do.

“Hey Hyunjin!”

“Yeah y/n?”

“I left my snack in the art room. Can you go get it for me?”

“You left what where? A snack?” And he laughs in my face. I get it I mean it was last minute… but he shall regret laughing in my face…. He shall indeed.

“Can’t I just buy you one?”

“Jin, just go get it!”

“PLEASE,” and he starts to throw a mini tantrum.

“JINNIIEEEEE PLEASEEEE,” I out-yelled him.

“Ahhhh. Do I go alone?”

“Just go,” I say while pushing him toward the stairs.

“Y/n please go with me,” Hyunjin tried to drag me along with him.

“I caaan’t I have to help pack!”

“PLEASSEE”

“NOOOOO”

“Ah fine.” He gives up and stops at the bottom of the stairs.

“I don’t think I can go alone,” is all I hear before I run to the room where the boys were when they monitored the others. I sat in a chair and enjoyed the show. Hyun went up the stairs with confidence… until the doll scared him.

“AH HA HA AHHHH AHHHH” He screams. We all laugh at his misery. It’s cruel but you just can’t help but laugh. He tries again and goes up the stairs, loud as he can be. He starts screaming and runs back down the stairs.

“Wait wait wait wait wait wait” He runs all the way back to the room everyone is in all hysterical.

“I’m really scared. Y/n please come with me PLEASE!”

“Hyunjin bestie! Stop being a little baby bitch and get it. I promise, nothing will happen!”

Hyunjin pouts and goes out of the room. He goes back to the stairs screaming. After some time and hyping up he calms down and heads to the art room. I.N., Felix, Chan, and Seungmin join me and watch the “scary”staff members torture Hyunjin.

“Was this your idea,” Chan asks me.

“Of course it was. Actually this whole thing was!”

Felix looked at me with murder in his eyes. “Why would you think of such a thing?!”

“Oh you’re fine Felix. You’re alive!”

“Tsk, barely.”

We look back to see Hyunjin fall down screaming as someone scared him. We all laughed at it. It’s funny that the more scared ones are laughing at Hyunjin…. Hmmm thinking. Hyunjin continues to look for my snack and knocks something down, which was a que for someone to come out of the cabinets. Honestly that was probably the highest I’ve seen him jump in a while. We all die laughing as Hyunjin slowly loses his mind. Ah I kind of feel bad for doing this to him but it’s just too good.

Hyunjin finally gets to the box with the slime and snack in it. He pulls it out and looks at it in disgust.

“Ah so disgusting.” Sounds familiar…. Anyway he starts to run out of the room and every ghost staff member comes to scare him. I’m sure he saw his life flash before his eyes. Also was that Han on the stairs? Before I could point it out, I see Chan standing and clapping, a distant scream coming closer to the room. Hyunjin falls in and tries to calm his racing heart. I get up and try to go over to him and not laugh in his face.

“THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!”

I laugh a bit and go to hug him on the floor but he starts to push me away.

“Y/n I love you but NEVER MAKE ME DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!”

“I’M SORRY BUT IT'S FOR THE VIEWS!”

“BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?”

“…the views though,” I whispered.

Before he could say something, Han came over. He explained how he was waiting on the stairs layed out. I KNEW IT! That idiot.

“I hate you guys.”

Ah, this may have been stressful but it’s worth it. Maybe I should do another scary themed SKZ Code again. Hmmmmm.

Vicarious (Bang Chan)

Soulmate AU pt 1

You are now Kang Minho. And you’re writhing on the floor.

Which made sense; Hyunjin did just elbow Chan in the liver. Your synched up grunts of pain boom through the concert venue’s speakers; it’s enough for everyone else to freeze. Music continues to play as the background to their little comedy of everyone pausing mid-dance or falling out of the chorus jump to check on both of them. Woojin flubs the landing, stomping on Seungmin’s foot. They’re both on the ground and Changbin trips over the latter’s arm trying to get to you. Chan is rolling on the ground with a half grimace and half grin.

Glad to see he finds this funny, cause you don’t.

“Fuck! Dude, I know you’re excited but damn!” You say from stage left once you’re done gasping for breath. Your strained voice echoes throughout the empty venue. You’re leaning on an equipment box you’d fallen on when Hyunjin knocked the wind out of you. “Is this because Chan ate the last maki off the plate the other night? Cause if so, you didn’t have drag me into it!” You double over and curse.

Jisung, one of the few still on his feet, gets to you first. “Hyung are you alright?! You need anything?” He tries to help you up but you wave him off, finding your balance after a few minutes and stumbling through several tries. You’ve always had better pain tolerance than Chan and it shows. He’s still on the ground, arms around his abdomen while you’re trudging across half the stage to get to him. Your hearts though, beat at the same slowed pace.

“Sorry! I’m so sorry!” Hyunjin is blubbering at this point. His head whips back and forth between you and Chan, apologising over and over.

You put a hand on his shoulder. “It’s fine, it was an accident anyway,” you say though most of you nerves have been set aflame. You kneel next to Chris pulling him up to sit. “You good, loser?” You didn’t really need to ask, considering the dull pain in your abdomen spikes up and Chris’ expression smoothens out.

He frowns, “You don’t have to-“

“Too late,” you grin at him through the shock that stole what little breath you have from your lungs. It’s a good thing your legs give out again because you drop before. Chan can touch you. He puts a hand on his chest and winces, trying to reach for you again but you stop him with a hand. “Hey, you’ve got more practice to do, I’m done with my set already.”

It’s not a total lie.

You are done with your soundcheck and rehearsal for the Klockwork Royal Ball (1), but your group and other label mates had planned to go again after all the other groups and artists were done with their sets. Jihyeon would’ve called on all of you once Victon was done, two acts after Stray Kids. Looks like that isn’t happening for you. Even if she didn’t want to admit concern, she would never let you perform knowing you got hurt prior to. Damn stubborn leader. Chan is no better, being as stubborn as she can be. “Okay,” he says, knowing he doesn’t have to like it but can’t do anything to change your mind. “But we’re getting you an ice pack or something backstage, ok? Please?”

“Sure, sure.” You nod, standing and offering him a hand up. Hyunjin helps you pull Chan to his feet and he’s still apologizing. “Dude, chill out! It’ll be a bruise, at worst. The only thing you have to do, is get better at that move.”

That one is a lie.

You don’t tell Hyunjin because you don’t need him crying out of guilt but he knew how to hit. It was a beautiful liver shot really, hit the vagus nerve just right. You can tell from how your legs gave out, blood and heart rate slowed, and breath stalled. Both you and Chan are lucky it wasn’t a hard hit, just a precise one. Hyunjin bows his head but it can’t hide how pink the tips of his ears are. “I really didn’t mean to, I’m-“ he shut his mouth. Good, he knows he should stop it already. “I’m just...nervous.”

“You’ve been chosen to be one of the groups to open Rookies Day,” you laugh; it hurts to laugh but you do. They need some reassurance. “You guys haven’t even debuted and you earned that honor. If you weren’t jittery as hell, I’d call you stupid or Felix.”

Felix turns his head at the mention of his name. “What?”

You pat him on the shoulder. “How about this? Just get better at it for me, yeah?” You smile at him and he looks up, a small one of his own, creeping into his lips.

“Okay, Null sunb- I mean Minho hyung,” he says, taking a step back as Chan puts an arm around your waist and leads you backstage.

You really don’t need the help, the pain is already subsiding. Then again someone should put some ointment on the bruise you knows is blossoming on your abdomen. So, you let him support you and he’s smiling for some reason, smirking to himself like he knows something you don’t. “The last time you had that smile on your face, we locked two people in a closet together,” You accuse, feeling a sliver of his amusement, and some suspicion of your own.

“It’s just...” He glances back over their shoulders. “They like you, they took to you so fast, it’s like they’ve-

You nod, “Known me for as long as they’ve known you,” you say with smile, despite the pain. “It’s kinda implied. Some theories say, we’re halves of a whole, others say we’re one.” You shrug, even though it had surprised you how fast Chan’s little group of misfits warmed up to you as well. It’s only been a week and a half since you and Chan found each other and you’ve spent almost every day of that week having with him and his group. A night ago you learned their Hellevator choreo. The first two days before that you spent so long in the studio with Chan and the other 2/3rds of 3racha you were called by every member of Krownus, even Jihyeon (2). 28 hours passed like nothing.

“It’s good you like em too.”

You scoff, “Your little pack of strays? Are you kidding?”

“Nah, you can’t pull that tough shit, Null” He teases, grinning as he guides you to the medic’s room backstage. “You like them. I can feel it.”

Damned soul bond, not letting you hide a thing from him.

_______________________________________________________________________

The day after the Royal Ball, you’re scrolling through SNS feeds for people’s opinion on the concert. Chan sits across from you, half listening to you read comments aloud and half focused on writing lyrics while both of you share a pair of airpods. You don’t notice but you’re bobbing your head to the beat of this new unreleased 3racha song.

Around you the Devil’s Den cafe is as busy as ever, more so that it’s just after lunch time. Students, office workers and fans alike are in and out of the door and the servers and baristas are red blurs. They’re calm in the face of their rush hour, mahogany aprons and white shirts spotless, and customer service smile still intact. They navigate their way around the people and tables with such grace and skill it makes you wonder how the hell you didn’t gain the same poise from working here in your years interning for Jihyeon. Then again, you were only ever on duty here as punishment for the stupid shit you pulled.

“Check it out,” you steal Chan’s attention away from his lyrics, clearing your throat. “Omona! Stray Kids were amazing at rookie’s day!” you squeal pitching up your voice to the point where it annoyed even you. “Bangchan-oppa was sooo cool, I just wanted to die!”

Chan laughs, throwing a wad of napkins at you. “Please, never do that again.”

“And deprive the world of my spot on impressions?” You shake your head, expression grave. “I have a duty in life Chanstopher Bang-“

“Chanstopher Ban-“

You silence him with a hand, exclaiming, “A duty Chanstopher!” before putting that same hand on your chest. “To make this dark world a brighter place with my humor...and outstanding personality.”

“Don’t forget, your incredible humility and modesty.” Chan rolls his eyes, closing his lyrics notebook. He stretches his arms back over his head, joints popping and straining. You do the same, you body relaxed in the wake of sitting in the same place and position for a few hours. To be honest, the only reason you two left Chan’s studio is because SKZ’s manager accused him of becoming a hermit.

You’re already packed up, your own lyrics notebook and laptop put away in a backpack, you just wait on Chan who heads to the restroom first. “Should we get a drink for the road?”

“In that line?” He gestures to the busy counter.

You rolls your eyes, pulling out your phone and sending a quick text. “Don’t worry about it,” You tell him, handing him back his other air pod and putting your hat back on. “I’m Klockwork (3) and the Kingdom (4) looks out for it’s Kings (5).”

Which is to say, you’re going to abuse your status as a fellow label mate to get your friend behind the counter to rush your order.

“Two cold brews for the dumb looking guy in the-“

You snatch one of drinks away with a click of your tongue. “And what have I done to deserve such slander, Dani?” The corners of your mouth twitch trying to maintain the feigned disappointment.

“Wore a neon green cap for one thing,” Dani says, wrinkling her nose in distaste, though amusement shines in her eyes. “Minho you look like you should be directing traffic at night.” She hold out the second drink for him. When he takes it she turns her back and goes on making other customer’s orders. You never noticed before, but Dani keeps her hair in a low ponytail more often than anything else. It suits her: like her it’s nothing too complicated or fancy but it’s nice, pretty even. You shake your head. It’s a weird line of thought, one you’ve never considered before.

Odd.

Adjusting the cap in question on your head, you have to admit the colors jars even you. Then again: “Didn’t you give me this?”

“Well yeah,” she turns back, holding some guys white chocolate mocha. “But I gave it away because it’s an eyesore. I didn’t think you were actually gonna wear it.”

She’s cute when she’s mocking you.

She is?

Something in your chest makes itself known then, an odd kind of warmth. It’s not from the coffee, nor the insulation your hoodie provides you with. You stare at the back of her head for a while until she turns and looks at you too. You shy away, which is not normal. What the hell is going on?

“You alright there Minho?”

Her concern for you is sweet. She’s sweet. What?

You shake your head. “Uh yeah. Fine.”

“Is there something on my face?” Dani, asks as she serves another drink but lets the other person behind the counter, an actual worker, call out the customer.

You can feel your gut churning, nerves building up. “No, nothing,” You say, voice even and calm. You feel fine but also not. You’re...jittery but it’s faint, like an aftereffect. This is not normal. Teasing back and forth with Dani is. Insulting her and accepting her insults is. Writing and composing with her at the original Devil’s Den (6), the studio, is. And nothing about that is any different from this.

Except...

“Are you sure?” She raises a brow at you, “Because your friend by the bathroom is looking at me weird too.”

You whirl around, eyes finding Chan. His hands are fidgeting at his sides, wiping them on his pants. He swallows, a bead of sweat trailing down the side of his face even though it’s air conditioned in the cafe. He’s looking towards the counter but not back at you. You follow his line of sight.

“Oh shit.”

Movie Night || Secret Santa Gift

SKZ X AYESHA || WORDS: 2010 ||

This is my gift to @fantasymirror I’m your Secret Santa <3 Enjoy this movie party with Skz! I hope you like it <3 <3 <3 also like come talk to me sometime you’re pretty cool

Ayesha paced back and forth in the small walkway between the wall and her couch. She was waiting for her friends to come over, it was her turn to host the movie night and her turn to pick the movie. She was nervous. Not that she couldn’t be entertaining. She knows these guys like the back of her hands. She knows what makes them laugh, what makes them cry. She was nervous that they would wreck the place. She just moved in, and she doesn't want a complaint on her during her first week in her new apartment. “Ayesha! Open up! The ice cream's gonna melt!” Chan yelled as he pounded on the door. Hearing his voice made her feel at ease, these are her friends if something goes wrong they won't be mad, they’ll laugh it off. If they break something, they’ll pick it up and apologize profusely. “Coming! Stop banging!” Ayesha responded as she made her way across her apartment. It was small but cozy. To the left was the kitchen small, and dimly lit. Ayesha's bedroom was off of the living room with the only bathroom attached just after the door. The living room was about the size of a small corner store with long windows viewing the park across the street. Beige curtains covered them now, a sign of the late hours. Ayesha opened the front door and nine boys crammed their way into the room. “Well, you should've been faster next time,” Chan said setting the ice cream on the counter and walking away. “Well, you should’ve given me a heads up, I didn’t know there was ice cream,” “We got chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mint chocolate chip, coffee, black cherry, rocky road, you name it we got it,” Minho said taking them out and placing them on the counter. “Baskin Robbins Chocolate Mousse Royale?” Ayesha asked. It’s her favorite kind and the boys better know that by now, how could they not? “GOT IT” Jisung shouted holding it up for her to see. The classic print on the ice cream carton visible through the white plastic bag made Ayesha smile. Changbin began putting the ice cream in bowls for them to enjoy. Once he was done he placed them in the freezer and walked over to the small huddle that had grown next to the couch. “So what movie are we watching tonight, lovely Ayesha?” Hyunjin asked placing his arm around Ayesha’s shoulders. “Since it's Christmas season I figured I’d choose a classic. Scream, no I’m kidding. Wolf Children!” She said hiding the blush that made its way onto her cheeks. ”Oh, I’ve heard of that movie! I haven’t watched it, but I’ve heard great things.” Jeongin said. “It’s good, and I like it! I hope you guys do too!” “Isn’t it like an anime or something?” Changbin asked, removing Hyunjin’s arm from Ayesha and putting it over his shoulder. “Yea, it’s a Studio Ghibli Movie,” Jeongin answered before Ayesha could open her mouth. “Oh, those are always good,” Chan commented from the couch. Felix brought a bag in from the hall and set it on the counter. He looked for the microwave. Once he located it, he began searching through cabinets until he found two large bowls. “I’ll make us some popcorn, how many bags should I do?” Felix asked. “There's ten of us, so I say four bags, two bags for each bowl?” Chan said. “Ay Ay Captain,” Felix said saluting him. “Okay, now, blankets. Where are they? We need to build a fort.” Woojin said. “Blankets are in my bedroom,” “I’ll get em!” Jisung said grabbing Minho and taking off down the small hallway. Woojin following after them. “Okay,” Ayesha whispered half to her self, trying to get her mind wrapped around what else needed to | before they could start this movie. “So how’re we watching this? You got a CD or is it online?” Chan asked. “I got a CD, it should be in the case on the stand below the TV,” She said to Chan, he moved quickly to the TV. “Got it!” He announced then placed the CD inside the CD Player and pressed to play to start the movie. He went back to his seat on the couch. “The first bowl of popcorn is done!” Felix said from the kitchen. “Jeongin grab that and put it on the coffee table? Please?” Ayesha asked him. Jeongin grabbed the bowl and placed it on the coffee table, then he moved the coffee table out of the way and sat down putting the bowl in his lap. “What?” he asked upon seeing the stare Ayesha was giving him, “There's not enough room on the couch, so most of us will be here anyway,” he stated eating the popcorn. “I got the blankets! Where am I putting them?” Woojin asked walking back in, dragging Minho and Jisung on a blanket while they held the rest. “If my blanket rips I’m going to be upset. Ayesha pouted, the two of them got off. “You’re the one that had the plans for the fort,” Minho said to him. Woojin sighed and began draping the blankets across the back of the couch. He pushed Jeongin out of his way and placed the biggest, thickest sheet on the ground to make those that sit on the floor more comfortable. He stared at his work before he sighed again and sat down, taking the second bowl of popcorn from Felix and shoving a handful in his mouth. “Dibs on cuddling with Ayesha!” Jeongin shouted standing up. Hyunjin moved from his spot, standing near the island that separated the living room and the kitchen, to push Jeongin out of his way. “No fair I called that on the way here!” He shouted. “Too slow!” Chan sang as he pulled Ayesha on the couch next to him. “Shush, the movies gonna start!” Minho said to the group and threw popcorn at them. Hyunjin settled on the floor with Seungmin. Jeongin passed out everyone’s ice cream, after scarfing his down, then laid across the end of the couch with his head in Chan’s lap.

Empty bowls of ice cream sat discarded across the floor. The only ones left awake sat staring at the TV. They finished the movie and now pondered what they could do next. “That was good, but now more than half of us are asleep. Plus its so much work to wake them up” Hyunjin said gently removing Seungmin’s head from his shoulder and sitting up. “We could play a game while we let them rest, you don’t mind us sleeping over here do you, Ayesha?” Chan asked rubbing his eyes. “No problem! I love it when you guys come over. It’s a sleep-over!” Ayesha said happily, careful to keep her voice down. “Now the only question is what game?” Jeongin asked. “Do you have any board games?” Hyunjin asked, getting excited. “I don’t think so. I haven’t needed one before now,” Ayesha said. “What about video games? Didn’t you mention Mario Cart once before?” Chan asked. Ayesha forgot about the conversation they had. She almost forgot she even had the game. “Yea, I do have Mario Cart! I got it a couple of months ago, but I had no one to play with me. I’ll go grab the game and controllers.” She exclaimed. Ayesha raced down the hall and came back carrying a box. “I’m old school, it’s on the Wii,” she said placing it on the floor at the end of Hyunjin’s feet. “I didn’t know you had a Wii U,” Jeongin said trying to get a look at the box from the couch. “I don’t. It’s just the Wii. No U, I told you I’m old school.” She took out the Wii and began setting it up. She put the sensor in the middle of the TV stand and turned back to the box. “Pass me a controller,” Chan said. Ayesha handed him two, one for him and one for Jeongin. “I call dibs on Bowser!” Hyunjin said taking a controller from the box. “Do what you want the real winner will be me with Peach, just letting you know, don’t get your hopes up,” Jeongin said, he stuck his tongue out at Hyunjin and laughed cutely. “In your dreams boys, I will be the only victor here,” Ayesha said, her words silenced the boys as she started up the Wii, selecting the small screen at the top left corner with Mario Cart inside of it. They all selected their characters and carts. Ayesha put the map on random and started. She sat back down on the couch next to Chan. The game began with a countdown, Ayesha held down A when the countdown got to 2. She boosted along with Chan, whom she is now battling against for 1st place. “Okay, how did you guys get that boost?” Hyunjin asked. “You gotta hold down A,” Chan answered. Ayesha was too focused on throwing a red shell at Chan she didn’t even notice the banana peel he threw behind him. She mentally cursed at herself. “Really? I’ll have to try that in the next match.” Hyunjin spoke, his words disconnected as he danced around the map, his cart being attacked non-stop from Jeongin in front of him. Ayesha and Chan surpassed each other multiple times, fighting for first place. During the last lap, they rounded the corner, a close game. Jeongin came out of nowhere. He passed them both. The two were left speechless as Jeongin cheered for himself. The next game starts on yet another random map, the countdown began. Ayesha saw Hyunjin hold down A and she laughed, he started too early. He spun out before he could move forward. “Hey what was that!” He exclaimed. Chan and Ayesha laughed, they didn’t respond to him. This game they’re too focused on keeping an eye on Jeongin. They both refuse to let him beat them, again. The first two laps were the same as last game, Chan and Ayesha competing for first, Hyunjin in the back and Jeongin quietly plotting his win. As they approached the finish line to start the third lap, Chan got red shelled by the NPC behind him, a Mario. Ayesha managed to be in first the majority of the third lap until Chan caught up, thanks to three mushrooms.  Ayesha hoped to win, but every time she hit a box she got a coin, even a speed boost would help more than a coin! “Ayesha! I can help you!” Jeongin said as Chan passed her. Him now a turn ahead of her. They were nearing the finish line. Jeongin had a blue shell. He waited until he made eye contact with Ayesha then he used it, and Ayesha saw it flying through the minimap. Seconds later she heard “Damn it,” escape Chan’s mouth. She knew it got him, Ayesha was able to speed past him and win. Ayesha jumped up and did a cute victory dance, then stuck her tongue out at Chan, who stuck his back out to her. “All right, I think it’s time we all go to sleep,” Chan said. Ayesha heard Jeongin whisper something about Chan being a sore loser and giggled. “Okay well then, goodnight,” Ayesha said hugging the boys. She went to the bathroom and did her night time routine. After she got all settled in bed Jeongin came running into the bedroom, wrapped in a blanket of his own. He jumped, throwing himself across Ayesha on her bed. The sudden weight hurt her but nothing too serious. “You said it was a sleepover and it’s not a sleepover unless the favorite friend shares the bed with the host!” His explanation muffled by the pillow he slammed into his face. “Okay you nut, just go to sleep.” Ayesha laughed, she lightly hit him then turned the light off. Once she was comfortable in her blankets, and Jeongin had managed to get himself comfortable beside her, she drifted off to a peaceful slumber-ish.
