...
Y/N's tears had finally subsided, leaving her in a fragile silence, cradled in Seungmin's arms. The Stray Kids dorm, usually bustling with energy, was unusually somber, the air thick with concern and unease. Each member felt a protective surge for Y/N, who was more than just a friend; she was like family.
Seungmin, whose feelings for Y/N had quietly grown over time, was particularly affected. He held her gently, a silent promise in his embrace that he would do anything to shield her from further pain. His heart ached, seeing her so broken.
"Y/N," Felix spoke softly from across the room, his Australian accent more pronounced in his concern, "We're all here for you, okay? You're not alone in this."
Hyunjin, leaning against the doorframe with a somber look, added, "Yeah, Y/N. Anyone who treats you like that doesn't deserve you. You're worth so much more."
Bang Chan, the leader, stood up, his presence offering a sense of stability. "We've all got your back, Y/N. You're part of this family, and we look after our own."
Y/N managed a weak smile, grateful for their support but unable to shake off the betrayal she felt. Her trust, once given so freely, now felt like a distant memory.
As the night wore on, the members slowly retreated to their rooms, leaving Seungmin and Y/N in the living area. Exhaustion eventually overtook her, and she drifted into a restless sleep on Seungmin's lap.
Hours later, Y/N woke up with a start, her dreams haunted by shadows of deception. Her sobs broke the silence of the room, waking Seungmin, who immediately switched on the bedside lamp.
"Hey, it's okay, Y/N. You're safe here," he whispered, his voice a soothing balm.
"I just... I feel so foolish, Seungmin. How could I let myself be so vulnerable?" Y/N choked out between sobs.
Seungmin gently brushed away her tears. "Trust isn't foolishness, Y/N. What happened to you... it's not your fault."
"But now I'm scared, Seungmin. Scared that I'll never be able to trust anyone again," Y/N confessed, her voice trembling.
Seungmin felt a pang in his heart. He wanted to confess his feelings, to tell her that she could trust him, but he knew this wasn't the time. She needed a friend, not another complication.
"Y/N, trust takes time to rebuild. But you're not alone in this journey. We're all here for you," Seungmin reassured her.
Y/N nodded, finding comfort in his words. The night passed slowly, with Seungmin staying awake, ensuring she felt safe and heard.
As dawn broke, the other members began to stir. Han popped his head in, a playful smile on his face. "Good morning, you two. Breakfast is ready. We made your favorite, Y/N."
The smell of food wafted into the room, a small but significant gesture of the bond they shared. As Y/N and Seungmin joined the others, the atmosphere lightened. Laughter and teasing filled the air, a stark contrast to the previous night's gloom.
Changbin nudged Y/N playfully. "See, nothing beats a Stray Kids' breakfast to lift the spirits."
I.N, the youngest, looked at Y/N with concern. "Are you feeling better, Y/N?"
"A bit, thanks to all of you," Y/N replied, her voice stronger now.
Throughout breakfast, the members shared stories and jokes, trying to bring back the smile they all loved on Y/N's face. It was a testament to their bond, a family not bound by blood but by unwavering support and love.
The weeks following Y/N's heartbreak were filled with the unwavering support of the Stray Kids members. Each one, in their own unique way, made sure she never felt alone. Their routine became a blend of caring texts, calls, and frequent visits, surrounding Y/N with a sense of belonging and warmth.
On a bright Saturday, the group decided to venture out for a day of fun and distraction. Seungmin, ever watchful and protective, stayed close to Y/N, offering silent support. The first stop was a cozy cafe, where the aroma of coffee and pastries was comforting and inviting.
"Y/N, you should try the blueberry muffins here. They're the best," Han suggested, his eyes twinkling with his usual playful spirit.
Smiling, Y/N nodded. "Sounds great," she replied, feeling a bit more uplifted amidst the café's lively ambience and her friends' chatter.
After enjoying their time at the cafe, they headed to an arcade, a place alive with flashing lights and the sound of games. Seungmin, with a look of determination, made a beeline for the claw machine.
"I'm going to win you the cutest plushie they have," he declared confidently.
A few attempts later, Seungmin triumphantly retrieved a medium-sized plushie, presenting it to Y/N with a proud smile. "For you," he said, his heart fluttering as she hugged the plushie, her smile radiant.
The group then proceeded to a bowling alley, where their laughter and cheers filled the air. Y/N's laughter, a sound they had missed, was especially heartwarming for them.
However, the joyful atmosphere was shattered when Y/N caught sight of the last person she wanted to see - her ex, flaunting his new relationship. He and his new companion laughed mockingly in her direction, a cruel reminder of her past hurt.
Y/N's face lost its color, her newfound happiness dissolving. The Stray Kids members noticed immediately, their expressions turning grim as they saw what had upset her.
"That guy's the worst," Hyunjin commented, his voice low and angry.
Seungmin instinctively wrapped an arm around Y/N, pulling her close to him. "Ignore them, Y/N. They're not worth your time or energy," he murmured, trying to comfort her.
Nodding, Y/N tried to gather her composure, but the sight of her ex with another girl, laughing at her, felt like a knife in her heart.
"Let's leave this place," Bang Chan suggested firmly, his leadership qualities shining through. "We don't need to breathe the same air as him."
The group quickly exited, heading to an ice cream parlor to try and brighten the remainder of their day.
As they walked, Felix spoke up in his comforting voice. "You know Y/N, you're so much better off without someone like him in your life."
"Yeah," added Changbin, "You deserve someone who truly appreciates and cares for you."
The ice cream parlor, with its vibrant decor and variety of flavors, offered a welcome distraction. They each chose their favorite flavors, attempting to restore some lightness to their day.
Seungmin stayed by Y/N's side, his presence a constant source of comfort.
As they sat with their ice cream, he said gently, "Y/N, remember, you're not defined by others' actions. You are strong, compassionate, and wonderful. Never forget that."
Y/N looked into Seungmin's eyes, seeing genuine care and concern. She felt a surge of gratitude. "Thank you, Seungmin, and thank you all. I really don't know where I'd be without you guys."
The day ended with the group doing their best to uplift Y/N's spirits. There were moments of genuine laughter, shared stories, and an ever-deepening bond.
Months had passed, and with them, Y/N's wounds began to heal, thanks to the unwavering support of the Stray Kids members, especially Seungmin. His care and attention were like a balm, soothing the scars left by her past heartache.
Seungmin, for his part, had been subtly expressing his feelings for Y/N. The plushie from the arcade was more than just a prize; it was a symbol of his affection. His casual touches, the way his arm would gently drape around her, or how their hands would find each other's, were all small but significant gestures that spoke volumes.
Y/N's heart, once guarded and wary, began to flutter with new possibilities. She found herself thinking about Seungmin more often, noticing the warmth in his eyes whenever he looked at her. It wasn't just her; the other members had started to pick up on the growing bond between them.
One evening, the group decided to hang out at the dorm, enjoying each other's company with music and laughter. Y/N was sitting on the couch, chatting with Felix about his latest dance choreography, when Seungmin walked over to join them.
"Hey, Y/N, can I talk to you for a moment? In private?" Seungmin asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Sure, Seungmin," Y/N replied, curiosity piqued. She followed him to the balcony, where the city lights twinkled like distant stars.
Once outside, Seungmin took a deep breath. "Y/N, I... I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now," he began, his voice barely above a whisper.
Y/N looked at him, her heart beating faster. "What is it, Seungmin?"
"I... I really like you, Y/N. More than a friend. I have for a long time," Seungmin confessed, his eyes searching hers for a reaction.
Y/N's heart soared. She had felt it, the growing warmth between them, but hearing him say it out loud made it real. "Seungmin, I... I feel the same way," she admitted, her voice trembling with emotion.
A smile broke out on Seungmin's face, relief and happiness mingling in his expression. He stepped closer to her, his eyes reflecting the moonlight. "Really? You do?"
Y/N nodded, unable to hide her smile. "Yes, Seungmin. I really do."
In that moment, under the starlit sky, Seungmin leaned in, and their lips met in a tender, loving kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of new beginnings, of hope, and of a love that had quietly grown in the space between friendship and something more.
As they pulled away, their eyes locked, and they both knew that this was just the beginning of their journey together.
Back inside, the other members had noticed their absence. "Do you think he finally told her?" Han whispered to Changbin.
"I bet he did. Those two have been dancing around each other for months," Changbin replied with a knowing smile.
When Y/N and Seungmin returned to the group, their linked hands and radiant smiles said everything that needed to be said. The members erupted into cheers and teasing, happy for their friends.
"Finally! It was about time you two realized it," Jisung exclaimed, clapping his hands.
"I'm so happy for you both," I.N added, his youthful face beaming with joy.
The rest of the evening was filled with celebration, laughter, and shared stories. For Y/N and Seungmin, it felt like they were in their own little world, a world where pain and heartache were replaced by the warmth of love and the promise of a future together.
As the night drew to a close, Y/N leaned her head on Seungmin's shoulder, feeling a sense of peace and contentment. She looked up at him, her eyes shining with gratitude and affection.
"Thank you, Seungmin. For everything," she said softly.
Seungmin wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. "No, thank you, Y/N. For letting me be a part of your life, for giving us a chance."
They sat there, wrapped in each other's embrace, knowing that whatever the future held, they would face it together. With the support of their friends and the strength of their newfound love, Y/N and Seungmin stepped into a new chapter of their lives, one filled with hope and endless possibilities.
