In the days following the concert, your bond with Hyunjin deepened in ways you hadn’t anticipated. Late-night texts turned into phone calls, and inside jokes became a part of your daily routine. Hyunjin’s witty remarks and playful banter kept you laughing, while his heartfelt conversations made you feel understood and cherished. Each day brought you closer, and the thought of seeing him again filled you with excitement.

Two weeks after the concert, Hyunjin invited you to the dorm. You accepted with a mixture of eagerness and nerves. When you arrived, the rest of Stray Kids were there, filling the space with their energetic presence. They greeted you warmly, teasing Hyunjin and making you feel like part of the family. However, Hyunjin quickly leaned in, his breath warm against your ear. “Ignore them. Tonight is about us,” he whispered, his tone light but sincere.

He led you to his room, which was cozy and full of personal touches. Sketches and photos decorated the walls, and a few art supplies were scattered on his desk. You both settled in, starting with some social games to ease the tension. Laughter filled the room as Hyunjin’s quick wit kept the mood lively. He made playful comments, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he effortlessly won each round.

“Are you secretly a pro at this?” you asked, laughing as he won yet another game.

He grinned, leaning closer. “I’m just good at reading people. Especially you.”

Your cheeks flushed at his words, and you playfully swatted his arm. “You’re impossible.”

“And you love it,” he shot back, his smile widening.

The conversation soon shifted to more personal topics. You shared stories from your past, moments that shaped you, and the dreams you held close. Hyunjin listened intently, his expressions shifting from amused to thoughtful. When it was his turn, he opened up about the pressures of being an idol—the relentless schedule, the constant scrutiny, and the difficulty of maintaining personal relationships.

“Sometimes, it feels like I’m living under a microscope,” he admitted, his fingers gently tracing patterns on your hand. “Everyone’s watching, but no one really sees the real me.”

You nodded, feeling a deep connection with him. “I get it. It’s hard to find someone who truly understands.”

He smiled softly, his gaze unwavering. “But I think we found that in each other, didn’t we?”

You squeezed his hand, your heart swelling with affection. “Yeah, we did.”

There was a moment of silence, filled with unspoken emotions. Hyunjin took a deep breath, his eyes searching yours. “I’ve been wanting to ask you something,” he began, his voice laced with a hint of nervousness. “I know we haven’t known each other for that long, but... would you be my girlfriend? You can totally say no, it’s okay, but I really like you.”

Your heart skipped a beat. You could see the vulnerability in his eyes, the hopeful smile on his lips. Without hesitation, you smiled and whispered, “Yes, Hyunjin. I’d love to be your girlfriend.”

Relief washed over his face, quickly replaced by joy. He leaned in, and you met him halfway. The kiss was long and passionate, filled with all the emotions you had been holding back. His lips were soft and warm against yours, moving with a gentle urgency that made your heart race. You felt his hands in your hair, pulling you closer as the kiss deepened. The world around you seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of you in that moment.

When you finally pulled away, you were both breathless. Hyunjin rested his forehead against yours, his eyes shining with happiness. “You have no idea how happy you’ve made me,” he murmured.

You smiled, feeling a warmth spread through you. “I think I do.”

The evening continued with more conversation, laughter, and sweet moments. Hyunjin’s playful side resurfaced, making you laugh with his witty comments and funny stories about the members. You talked about your favorite movies, music, and even debated over the best pizza toppings.

“Pineapple on pizza is a crime,” Hyunjin declared, his tone mock-serious.

You gasped in mock horror. “How dare you! Pineapple is the best!”

He laughed, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “We might have to agree to disagree on that one.”

Time seemed to fly by, and before you knew it, it was dark outside. Reluctantly, you realized it was time to go home. Hyunjin borrowed Changbin’s car and drove you to your apartment.

When you arrived, you got out and walked to his side of the car, tapping on the window. He rolled it down, and you leaned in, giving him one more passionate kiss. His eyes closed, and a dazy smile spread across his face as he kissed you back.

"Goodnight, Hyunjin," you whispered, pulling away.

"Goodnight," he replied, his voice filled with warmth.

You walked to your front door, feeling light and happy. Opening it, you turned and waved goodbye, giggling and smiling. As you stepped inside, you knew this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

You stood there for a few moments longer, savoring the warmth of the kiss Hyunjin had left on your cheek. The entire world seemed to blur around you, leaving you in a dreamlike state until the sharp buzz of your phone brought you back to reality. It was a text from Hyunjin:

-So about that date

A flutter of excitement and nervousness filled you as you quickly replied,

-What about it? Do you not want to go anymore ☹️?

His response came almost immediately,

-NO I WANNA GO!!! It's just, where do you think we can go? I can't get caught with a girl right before our comeback, it's a miracle that they haven't found the cafe I keep going to.. I also can't get caught going to your apartment either, so how about you come to the dorms? 😸

You smirked at his use of the cat emoji and replied with a skeptical

-🤨.

Hyunjin's next message was swift, almost frantic,

-NOT LIKE THAT!! You can come over, we’ll be in my room, we’ll get to know each other and I’ll order food! Chan hyung knows, but the others don't. But it’s okay! It'll just be me and you! Better bonding in private, with no people around to see who I am!

You teased back with,

-That's even creepier, watch you say 'Wanna eat ramen?' next 😒.

Hyunjin, ever the quick-witted one, responded,

-Well DO YOU??? Wanna eat ramen 😏?? JK JK JK JKKKKKK… Just please consider it, for both your safety and mine 🥺🥺

Rolling your eyes, you replied,

-Send that emoji again and there will be no date. But I'll consider it, pinky promise!

His enthusiasm practically burst through your screen with his reply,

-YAYYYYYY!!! I’LL TELL CHAN HYUNG THAT YOU’LL CONSIDER IT!!

The next day was rough. The cafe was unusually busy, and to top it off, the number of ignoring and rejections you received from customers left you feeling disheartened. After your shift, you went home and took a long, hot shower, thinking about Hyunjin's request the entire time. The steam and solitude helped clear your mind, and by the time you stepped out, you had made your decision. Yes.

You quickly dressed and texted Hyunjin,

-Yes, I’ll go over, just when?

His reply was instantaneous, filled with joy,

-REALLY, YAYYYYYY, COME OVER TOMORROW AT 11:30 AM, MAKE IT A LONG DATE, WE DON'T HAVE PRACTICE OR ANYTHING!!

Smiling at his exuberance, you responded,

-Tomorrow? Are you sure?

His confidence was unwavering,

-YES. 100%!!

You continued,

-Fine, send me your address and give me a dress code so I don’t show up looking horrible at an IDOL’S dorm.

Hyunjin quickly sent you the address and clicked the video call button,

-ANSWER MEEE

he texted.

You couldn't help but chuckle at how open he was becoming. You answered the call, and the two of you talked for a while, discussing your date. Both of you were flustered but equally excited. You talked about outfits and laughed over the anticipation, and before you knew it, it was nearly 1 AM. You decided it was time to hang up, wishing each other "Goodnight ❤️" before drifting off to sleep with happy thoughts.

You woke up the next morning at 9:19 AM, the thought of the date bringing a smile to your face. You took a shower, ate breakfast, and brushed your teeth, all the while trying to quell the butterflies in your stomach. Then, you attacked your closet, creating an absolute mess as you searched for the perfect outfit. Hyunjin had assured you that you’d look amazing in anything, but you wanted to look your best. You finally settled on something flattering and looked at the clock: 10:49

Rushing, you did your hair, impressed at the outcome in such a short time. You sprayed on some sweet-smelling perfume and applied a simple makeup look, aiming for cute and effortless. Grabbing your keys, you stuffed them into your jacket pocket and set off, walking to Hyunjin's dorm. It was a pleasant 20-minute walk, and the weather was just right, ensuring you'd arrive looking and feeling fresh.

At 11:29, you reached the address and knocked on the door Hyunjin had specified. Almost immediately, you heard the quick patter of feet rushing to the door. Hyunjin opened it excitedly, pulling you into a long, warm hug. His enthusiasm was infectious, and you couldn't help but smile as you gently kissed his cheek. He froze for a second, surprised, before grabbing your hand and guiding you inside.

You shyly looked down, avoiding the curious stares of 3RACHA. The reality of being in the same space as the members of Stray Kids was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. Hyunjin led you to his room and closed the door behind you. The first words out of your mouth were, “Holy shit, I’m in the same space as 3RACHA.”

Hyunjin quickly protested with a playful pout, “Hey! What about me?!”

You giggled at his reaction. "Well, you’re included too, obviously. But I’m just a little starstruck."

He rolled his eyes, feigning exasperation, "Fine, I'll forgive you this time. Come on, sit down, make yourself comfortable."

You sat on his bed, feeling a bit surreal about the whole situation. Hyunjin sat beside you, close enough that your knees touched.

"So, this is where you live, huh?" you asked, looking around his room. It was tidy, yet personal, with little decorations and items that reflected his personality.

"Yeah, this is my sanctuary," he said with a smile, watching you take everything in. "It’s nice to have you here."

You nodded, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity settling in. "I’m glad to be here."

Hyunjin reached out and took your hand, intertwining your fingers. "I’ve been looking forward to this. To just spending time together, without any other people around."

You squeezed his hand gently. "Me too. It’s nice to just be ourselves."

He looked into your eyes, his expression serious yet tender. "I hope you know how much this means to me. You being here, giving us a chance."

You felt your heart swell at his words. "It means a lot to me too, Hyunjin."

He smiled, the tension easing from his shoulders. "Good. Now, what do you want to do first? We have the whole day."

You laughed, feeling the excitement bubble up again. "Well, you mentioned food. What do you have in mind?"

He grinned, his eyes lighting up. "I was thinking of ordering some takeout. We can have a little picnic right here."

You agreed, and soon enough, you were both browsing through menus on his phone, deciding what to order. Hyunjin was playful and animated, making you laugh with his enthusiastic suggestions.

As you waited for the food to arrive, you talked about everything and nothing, sharing stories and laughter. The awkwardness from earlier melted away, replaced by a growing sense of closeness and comfort.

When the food finally arrived, Hyunjin set up a cozy little picnic on his floor, complete with a blanket and an assortment of delicious dishes. You both sat down, digging in with gusto, enjoying the food and each other’s company.

Between bites, you found yourself sharing more about your life, your dreams, and your fears. Hyunjin listened intently, his eyes never leaving yours, making you feel seen and valued in a way you hadn't felt in a long time.

In return, he opened up about his life as an idol, the pressures and the joys, the loneliness and the exhilaration. His honesty and vulnerability touched you deeply, and you found yourself growing more and more fond of him with each passing moment.

Hours passed in a blur of conversation, laughter, and shared moments. Before you knew it, the sun had started to set, casting a warm glow through the window.

Hyunjin looked at you, his expression soft and content. "Thank you for today. This has been… amazing."

You smiled, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness that you hadn't felt in a long time. "Thank you, Hyunjin. I feel the same way."

As the day drew to a close, you both knew that this was just the beginning. The connection you had formed today was something special, something worth holding onto.

Hyunjin walked you to the door, his hand holding yours firmly but gently. "I’ll see you again soon, right?"

You nodded, your heart full. "Definitely."

He leaned in and kissed your cheek softly, his touch lingering. "Goodnight," he whispered.

"Goodnight, Hyunjin," you replied, smiling up at him.

Just as you were about to step out, he stopped you. "Wait," he said, a hint of concern in his voice. "It's late, and I don't want you walking home alone."

You blinked in surprise. "But it's not that far."

"I know," he replied, already reaching for his phone. "But I’d feel better if I drove you. Let me borrow Chan’s car."

A few moments later, after a brief conversation with Chan, Hyunjin had the keys. He put on a mask and a cap, hoping to avoid any unwanted attention.

"Ready?" Hyunjin asked, adjusting his mask and cap.

You nodded, a warm feeling spreading through you at his concern. "Yeah, let's go."

He led you to Chan's car, opening the passenger door for you before sliding into the driver's seat. As he started the car, he glanced over at you, his eyes crinkling with a smile you could feel even through the mask. The drive was quiet but comfortable, both of you enjoying the companionable silence after such an eventful day.

Before long, you arrived at your apartment. Hyunjin stopped the car and you got out, taking a moment to savor the evening air. You walked around to the driver's side and tapped on the window. He looked up, surprised, and rolled it down.

You leaned in, your heart pounding in your chest. "Thanks for the ride, Hyunjin. And for today," you said softly, reaching out to pull down his mask.

He looked at you, eyes wide with surprise and something else—something tender. Before he could react, you kissed him, your lips landing right at the corner of his mouth. He froze for a second, and then his cheeks flushed a deep crimson.

You giggled at his reaction, feeling a mixture of affection and triumph. "Goodnight, Hyunjin," you whispered, stepping back.

He blinked, still processing the kiss, then managed to stammer out, "G-goodnight."

With a smile, you turned and walked to your apartment door. You unlocked it, then turned around for one last look. Hyunjin was still watching you, his face half-hidden but his eyes warm and bright. You waved, and he waved back, finally breaking into a shy, wide smile.

You walked inside and closed the door behind you, your heart feeling light and full. Moving to the window, you watched as Hyunjin started the car and drove away, his taillights disappearing into the night.

As you settled in for the evening, you couldn't help but smile. Today had been perfect, and you knew it was just the beginning of something wonderful.

This feels..not it.
