You opened the door slightly and peak your hear in seeing a boy eating a lollipop sitting with his legs crossed on a small couch.
You smiled at him as he smiled back waving
"Ah~~~ minjeee" said chan as he saw you walking in
You giggled and sat down next to him
"How are you today" he said formal making you laugh
"I'm doing great" you said smiling. He smiled at you and you grabbed the plate of gummies that was on the table in front of you.
"You know, when I first met you I really look up to you. I still do" you said popping a gummy bear in your mouth, even though you had braces.
"Really?" Asked chan surprised.
"Eung (yes)" you nodded.
"Well, you and han, I admire the both of you a lot." You added on. Chan smiled at you
"Why?" He asked. You looked at him and shrugged your shoulders
"I just do. You're so wise and calm and help others even if you need help, you make sure everyone's in bed before you go to sleep or else you'll scold us, you're like...the glue that holds skz toegther'' you said as you grabbed a plushie sitting it on your lap.
Chan giggled at you and ruffled your hair
"Ah...thanks minjee. But I don't think it's me. I feel like it's you" he said
"Hm?" You tilted your head.
"How?" You asked
"Well, you're the calmest out of all of them, maybe not as calm as me, but calm enough, you were the one who told hyunjin and jisung to knock it off when they faught, you help minho teach us the dances, you never argue with us, and not only that but you always leave little notes around the dorms with quotes like 'dont stop smiling' or 'smile more, it looks good on you' randomly. But it's cute. " He said
You laughed and nodded
"Ah...the notes. I enjoy writing those. They're fun to write. Plus theyre fun to hide in new places" you said
"Yeah how do you even come up with these hiding spaces? Like some places always amazed me when I find them like ..wow .." he said with a shocked expression sticking his lollipop back in his mouth
You laughed and shrugged your shoulders
"I just walk around the dorms and I see places where I never thought of and stick them there " you said
He laughed and nodded
"Remember when we first met in trainee days?" He said
You nodded your head.
"You would always sneak out with me to eat snacks at midnight because of my diet" you giggled.
He smiled and nodded
"You were so small back then...how could I not feed you when you were literally like 7" he said
"I wasn't 7!! I was 13!!" You looked at him.
"Still small!! I was already an adult minjee! ADULT." He said.
You nodded your head
"It's not my fault your old" you mumbled, shrugging your shoulders
"WHA-" he looked at you shocked.
You laughed and ate a gummy
"I'm joking I'm joking!!" You said giggling. Chan shook his head smiling
"Y'know, sometimes I really wonder if this was all fate..." You said
He looked at you confused
"What do you mean?" He asked
"Like-- this. Stray kids in general. Like me you and Felix all grew up in Sydney Australia...and somehow I ran into Felix when I was younger, and now here we are...in the same group" you said
"Wait- you ran into Felix as a kid?" He looked at you confused
You nodded your head
"I have a picture of me at like an amusement park, and I'm with my mom posing and in the back there's Felix walking with his mom. I didn't realize it was him until I was showing him the pictures and he looked at the back and went 'oh-! Yah, that's me and my mom!' so I looked and I was like that one? And he nodded." You said.
Chan looked at you,
"But how can you be sure that's him?' he asked
"Felix sent a picture to his mom and she said that actually was her and him" you explained as he nodded his head.
"What year was this?" He asked
"Mmm....the year we took the picture or the year me and Felix noticed?" You asked confused
" The picture" he stated.
"Ah...um...2000...8? I think that's what the photo said on the bottom. 2008. I was 4 and Felix was 8" you said as he tilted his head in confusion
"Wait- 4? Wouldn't you be 5?" He asked confused
"I hadn't turned 5 yet. Felix' birthday is in September mines December, the picture was from October. So it wasn't my birthday yet" you said explaining it to him
"Ahhh" he said nodding understanding now.'"Wow...it really was fate.." he said
You nodded your head and smiled
"What did your parents think when they found out you were gonna be put into a big group?" He asked
"Mm...well, I mean she wasn't the happiest. But she wasn't mad or sad either. She just wanted me to debut and proceed my dream. But she didn't really mind, I feel like a part of her was disappointed because she wanted me to be put into a girl group .." you said looking down
Chan wrapped and arm around you bringing you closer to him
"Aish. Yah, your mom was definitely proud of you. Remember all the calls and messages she sent when we debuted?" He asked as you nodded and giggled
"She was really happy..." You said as he nodded
"Imagine if I wasn't in the group. Like at all. And I was still training" you said
Chan looked at you before talking
"Weren't you supposed to debut with itzy?" He asked
You nodded your head
"Yeah but then a certain someone came up to me and dragged me along with them to a survival show to debut. And here I am" you said playfully wrolling your eyes
"YAH!!" He said pushing your shoulder making you laugh
"I'm joking!! I'm joking!!" You said still laughing. He smiled and shook his head
"Mmm..if you weren't with stray kids ..wah...that'd be...weird...like I'm so used to you randomly walking up to me and doing something to me and then walking away, it'd be weird if that didn't happen anymore " he said. You laughed
"What do I do that's weird?!" You asked offended looking at him
"Just the other day you came up to me and poked my dimples and then walked away!" He said looking at you
"That's not weird though! Anyone would do that! Stays are begging to touch your dimples right now you know?!" You said making chan bust into laughter's
"The other day I was in the studio working on a song with 3 rach-" he said before getting cut off
"Ohh 3 racha. Wowww she hot, wow she hot, she fine" you said teasing him about their song
Chan looked at you as he looked like he wanted to punch you. You look at him as you tried not to laugh.
" .....continue" you said covering your mouth not to laugh. He laughed and you ended up busting into laughter's
"Aishhh noooo" he said in his australian accent making you laugh
"I'm joking, what about the studio?" You asked
"Ah right. I was working on a song when jisung and changbin started messing around. And changbin went 'oh! Yah! Doesn't minjee look like this person' and he showed us the picture, and it ended up being uh...what's that character's name. The ice age character . With the weird shaped face" he said confused
You gasped before looking at him, then the camera then back at him
"SID?!?!?!" you asked. He nodded and started laughing leaving your mouth wide opened
"I KNOW YALL DID NOT- HE COMPARED ME TO SID?!" you asked shocked as he nodded and laughed
"You know what. I'm fine, sid was one of the best characters anyways. Sid was iconic. That pizza shaped dude got nothing on me" you said sassily making chan laugh even more
"Ahh nooo, stop- im- changbins gonna wanna kill you at the dorms" he said
"Well then I'll kill him for comparing me to sid before he kills me for calling him pizza" you said shrugging making him giggle
"Dear minjee,
I'm sorry for making you have to live with 8 other boys, but guess what, your stuck with us and your not leaving for a long time so be prepared haha.
But thank you for being an amazing little sister to me since mine can't be here.
You're adorable and so small when you're tired.
Whenever you're overwhelmed come to me and I'll try to help you the best as I could.
Thanks for being so fun to talk to, our conversations really made my day.
Don't stop poking my dimples at the dorm either. It's really cute. Never grow up either! You better stay 16 forever or I'm gonna have a mental break down!
Okay, that's it. Bye minjee love you
-skz chan"
He wrote on the clearboard with his marker before walking off screen
"Dear chan.
Thank you for taking me into stray kids, it meant a lot to me when you asked me. I honestly can't believe we've made it this far...it really was fate huh.
After skz is done, aussie line should meet up in Sydney. But you know what, skz won't end, it'll go forever.
Thank you for being an amazing leader. I honestly don't know what I would do if you weren't here with me. Thank you for even considering putting me into the group, I know I've said this alot already but I really don't know what I would do if you didn't and I'm really thankful for you.
Don't stop babying me either. I know I always tell you to stop, but don't. I enjoy it since my family isn't here to do it to me. So keep doing it, it reminds me of home haha. But continue doing it and I'll continue poking your cheeks. It's a habit. You can't get rid of it. Hehe
But thank you for being a great leader and I admire you a lot, let's meet in our next life too.
With lots of love,
Minjee <3"
You closed the marker before walking off camera
