Alison's POV

"Alisonnnnnnn", Han yelled through the hall. "Dude I'm here...", I said while standing literally next to him. "Oh yeah...I knew that", he laughed embarrassed and scratched his head. "Do you wanna go next door?", he asked with a soft voice. "Coz?" "I've got a surprise for you, honeyyyy" "Ahhhhh can you stop calling me nicknames? It makes me feel uncomfortable..." "But why...", Jisung looked at his feet sulking. "I didn't say I felt uncomfortable with you, Hannie. It's just...I'm not used to it yet". He nodded understanding and went to open the door behind him. "Welcome, welcome, my dear Alison, come and sit down", he invited me with a showmaster's voice grinning widely. There was a chair in the middle of the room and as Jisung pushed me forward into the room and closed the door behind us I sat down and looked at Jisung. "So what exactly is this?" Suddenly Han held a guitar in his hands. Where the heck did he get the guitar from now?! He started playing a chord and I slightly smiled. "This one's for you, baby", he started again with the showmaster's voice. Then he started playing and singing a song. For me alone. I got so soft. Yes I'm really likely to cry in such a situation. How can a person be that cute to me? This is a moment in which I really loved being myself. Han Jisung, you make me fall for ya all over again! His voice feels like someone's wrapping me up in a warm and soft blanket tightly and stays with me like that for the rest of my life. How can I be that lucky to have him? When he finished the song, I smiled at him happily. "So...I know I'm better at rapping than at singing, but I hope that you liked it tho-" I jumped up and hugged him tightly. "I love you, Jisung! God, I love you from the bottom of my heart. Please never leave!" He started patting my head tenderly. "I won't". I don't know why but thinking about this situation is weird somehow. When I had been younger I surely had a crush on Han. But like, a celebrity crush...That feeling that you would do anything to date this person. I mean, everyone has had a crush on a celebrity at least once, right? But then I texted with him and met him and actually it all developed like this. How many people dream of this? But I am the one that gets to be with my celebrity crush which is now my boyfriend. The chances were like 1/6.000.000.000 or something like that. I don't know...probability calculus had never been my thing. Jisung kissed my cheek playfully and pulled me back to reality. I blushed a little and looked away. "Should we go back to the others?" I nodded slowly and we made our way to the door.

"Hey Jisung, have you seen Aria? Chan is looking for her", Felix asked when we left the room. "Uhm I think she wanted to hang out with Changbin, Minho and Hyunjin. But I don't know where they are..." "Ah alright thanks mate" Then he rushed away again.

Aria's POV

I was sitting in a corner watching the Stray Kids survival show once again. Do you know the feeling when you exactly know what will happen but your emotions are still not under control? The episode I watched was showing Minho's elimination. I just couldn't help it, I had to cry. In that moment I heard a familiar voice. "Aria!" Nooo, Chan! Not now! Please let me cry in peace. "Yay I found y- why are you crying? Are you alright? Homesick? What are you watching?" I looked up in his face with teary eyes. "Minho's elimination...", I looked at him pouting. "Minho's what?" He pulled my phone out of my hands and observed the screen. "The survival show? You are crying because of that?" Yes. "Yeah...it's so saaad. How can JYP decide something like thaaaat", I whined and hugged Chan's arm. "But I am heeeeere!", Lee Know shouted from the other side of the room. "I know thaaaat, but meeeeeeehhh", I continued sulking. Chan chuckled amused while shaking his head. "You're cute, Aria, do you know that?" I looked at him pouting, which made him smile more. "You should be happy that Lee Know is part of Stray Kids now, instead of looking back at the elimination. It really was a hard time for us and we all cried but now we are so happy that he's here, right Minho?" Lee Know stumbled across the room and sat down in front of us. "Yep, well...at least I hope you're happy", he laughed. I laughed as well. "Arghhh guys you don't understand me! Watching that part is like watching a sad movie, I just can't bear it!" Chan nodded. "Yeah okay you've got a point!" "Hm...Can I ask you guys something?", I asked hesitant. "Sure, go ahead!" "Isn't it weird that literally your whole life is being filmed?" That was also part of our job. Alison and I were in charge of filming all those videos you see on YouTube. It is really fun but sometimes I think about the boys' privacy. They're being filmed so often...Aren't they uncomfortable? "Well...we got used to it. And since you work here it got even better. We know you guys so well so it's not that weird anymore. But during the survival show it was still really strange and a little uncomfortable..." I nodded understanding. Minho snickered. "You know what our manager said?" I looked at him with an asking gaze. "He said Alison and you are really convenient as you're literally working 24/7 but still get paid the same amount as other staff teams hahaha". "Oh should I ask him to get paid a higher sum?" I smirked. "But actually they're not working 24/7, dude!", Chan retorted. "They do!" Lee Know grinned amused. "They are babysitting you and Han!" "Brat!", Chan snorted. I burst out laughing. "Ya! Language, young man!" Chan looked at me fake annoyed. "I'm older, Ja-gi-ya!" He stressed every single syllable of the last word to make me freak out. "Yet, I'm your babysitter tsss", I argued. "Damnnnnn I don't wanna be a victim of your marriage problems thank you!" Minho rushed away. "What marriage problems, man...", I murmured amused. "Don't know either pfff let him be", Chan agreed and grinned. "I'm gonna text the group chat now, please don't steal my phone again..." "Can we send a voice message again? It's so fun haha" I rolled my eyes. "Maybe... if you're being a good boy!" He let himself fall on the floor sitting straight and smiling widely. "I'm always a good boy!" I chuckled and shook my head. "Yeah...sure...."
