↳ BONDING ; THE 00' LINE

as the clock hits two a.m. skz's four oo' liners are still wide awake. including eric and sunwoo as well. they all talk amongst themselves, jisung playing with hyunjin's hair as they share a bed. felix awkwardly trying to escape from the upper bunk which he shares with hyunjoon or known as hwall.

escaping he plops onto seungmin's bed who was lucky enough to get a single. sharing it with a person who he didn't know well was quite interesting.

"so guys, night two I'm guessing of staying in the dorm." felix says, "I'm pretty sure we have the most power."

"actually jeongin does." seungmin states, "the youngest has the most messed up brain and can kill us all."

"sunwoo, does it look like I wanna kill all of you?"

sunwoo shrugs, "I feel as if I'd be the one to kill you all."

"good point." the red head says, "anyways, this could be like our 'bonding' time. anyone down?"

"I'll grab some snacks from the kitchen. I heard they went grocery shopping earlier and I know all the chocolate chip cookies will be out within seconds tomorrow." jisung tells. he quietly gets out of bed and into the kitchen to get everything.

sunwoo and eric look at each other, "one two three, not it!" they both say, the three other boys are confused.

"huh?" hyunjin tilts his head, sunwoo sighs from his response because he has to explain.

"you wanna wake up hwall?" sunwoo has a pleading tone in his voice. "like please."

"why?" seungmin questions, "just shake him and he'll wake."

"but he whines." eric says, "like big time, at the dorm he never sleeps in his own bed."

"why?"

"he's a cuddler." sunwoo answers, "he's clingy and loves giving all the eldest affection. especially hyunjae or juyeon, maybe sangyeon. let's just say everyone."

"so will he get mad if we wake him up?" felix was now intrigued by the boy, "I'll wake him."

jisung who comes back with a variety of snacks watches as felix climbs to the top bunk. hyunjin slides off of the bottom on and crawls next to seungmin.

"hey..hyunjoon..wanna have a bonding session with us?" felix voice is low and sweet, he could hear the little 'mhm' coming from the boy.

hyunjoon shifts in his sleep and he slowly rises. yawning, he rubs one of his eyes and is half asleep as he looks at felix. "hyung~?"

felix covers his mouth, that was really cute.

"have to admit that was really cute." jisung awkwardly says, "sorry, just got here and I don't know what's going on."

"waking up hyung lover." sunwoo states, jisung gives a little 'ah.' "hwall, come on and get down here. we're gonna eat cookies and talk about some stuff."

hyunjoon pouts, "but I'm sleepy.."

"you can sleep all day tomorrow. I bet you can find a new cuddle buddy since there are nine more guys."

"but what if I don't want to.." hyunjoon states, "where is hyunjae hyung!" he cries, felix pats his head.

"he's sleeping, you can see him tomorrow."

hyunjoon crosses his arms, "you promise?"

felix nods, "promise, now come on down we can talk about anything and eat cookies."

hyunjoon nods and they both go down to the 'circle' that is formed in the middle of their room. hyunjin and jisung immediately start snacking while sunwoo is on his phone scrolling through twitter. a couple minutes of snacking, eric lightly claps his hands. "okay! now that we got everyone settled, topics and about ourselves. because the only boy I know well here is felix."

"what about hwall and I?" sunwoo asks.

"in terms of stray kids wise."

jisung raises his hand, "han jisung. but I'm sure you know our names but I like cheesecake."

"hwang hyunjin, eighteen years old."

"kim seungmin, I'm not only a stray kids member but a MC on ASC."

"you know you really didn't need to formal introductions but alright!" eric says, "as you all know I'm eric, that's sunwoo and hyunjoon aka hwall. but anything on your minds that you need to talk about?"

"you started this so you should know." hyunjoon states, "if you don't pick a topic I'm gonna go back to sleep."

"no don't!" jisung says, "it'll be fun, we promise. how about truth or dare? instead of talking about whatever."

"everyone always picks lame dares though." sunwoo groans, eric rolls his eyes.

"it's because your dares involve dangerous stunts such as skateboarding on the kitchen table."

"it's funny though!"

"I agree, I definitely can see jisung doing that and falling onto felix cause both of them share a brain." seungmin says laughing with sunwoo, the brunette replies with a gasp, clutching his shirt as he says, 'someone who actually gets me'

"what about you hyunjin? you haven't been talking much." felix involves the quiet dancer into the conversation, he replies with a shrug.

"i don't mind anything as long as we don't make too much noise so we don't wake anyone up."

"awe what a pure boy." eric teases, "no but serious man what are we gonna do."

"sleep." hyunjoon states boldly. "if this getting nowhere I'm going to find someone to cuddle with."

"spoon with someone." seungmin says, he looks over to jisung and evilly smirks, "I heard from someone that minho loves spooning."

"spooning what's that?"

"I swear that's a sex position." felix says putting his hands up, "that's illegal."

"I thought it was cuddling?" eric questions.

"isn't that the weapon chan likes to use?" hyunjin then pops in.

jisung shakes his head, both at the two's questions. "no! it is cuddling, and it's a spork!"

"why would I want to cuddle with someone I don't know?"

sunwoo smiles, "I mean we're bonding with each other. we should do it one way or another." seungmin nods at his statement.

"no wonder why your names start with s's." eric says looking at the two boys, "cause y'all are snakes."

"guess I'll just stay here.. jisung doesn't seem quite happy about it." hyunjoon murmurs, but sunwoo tries to reassure him.

"because I'm not! seungmin you're such a snake, that's my man!" jisung bluntly says, hyunjin snorts at his words.

"there are twenty other guys in this building I bet your man will forget your name in a couple of days." as seungmin pops his mouth.

"oh my god juyeon is gonna forget about me." eric says, gauging at the bottom of his eyes.

"he already did." sunwoo informs, "if you haven't been paying attention, he moved onto a different 00' liner."

"ugh, can relate because a hoe is stealing my man as well." felix says rolling his eyes, giving a slight glare to hyunjin.

"I breathe and do nothing! we're naturally close!"

"wERe NaTurALlY CloSe!" felix then sneezes, "you know why I just sneezed? it's because I'm allergic to bullshit!"

"ah, sorry that your binnie binnie loves me more than you!" hyunjin shouts, felix's jaw drops.

"I gave him a kiss on the cheek and that's more than you ever got!"

"you're kidding me, whenever you're not around before we go to bed he always give me forehead kisses. and guess what, he did that today!"

felix gasps loudly, "how. DARE YOU!"

"you go shister! fight him!" eric says, pounding his fist. jisung shoves a couple chips in his mouth rooting for hyunjin.

seungmin takes out his phone to record the whole fight while sunwoo helps hyunjoon to stay awake. but instead, he leaves the room to go find a cuddle buddy.

"SORRY THAT I'M FUCKING GORGEOUS TO WHERE HE CAN'T KEEP HIMSELF AWAY!" hyunjin shouts, felix clenches his fist.

"HAS HE EVEN EVER CALLED YOU BEAUTIFUL. BECAUSE HE'S BEEN TELLING ME MY FRECKLES ARE!"

"JUST YOUR FRECKLES AND NOT YOUR WHOLE FACE!"

"DIPSHIT FIND A DIFFERENT BOY TO LOVE!"

"AND IF I DONT! WHAT WILL YOU DO? DO SOME KANGAROO ASS KICKING!"

sunwoo leans over to seungmin, "have they ever heard about poly relationships?"

"they're way to possessive for that.." seungmin replies, sunwoo nods his head.

"YOU KNOW WHAT, WE ALL KNOW BINNIE LOVES ME AND—" the door opens and felix's sentence is cut. jisung who crawls under one of the beds quickly while sunwoo and seungmin drop into their beds quicker than light.

eric who puts his hands up as if he's caught by the police, but instead it's just one of the hyungs. he can't tell which one it is, but he stays quiet.

"you two." his voice is low, "shut the hell up."

hyunjin gulps, turning around he can see his face a bit clearly once the light is turned on.

"c—changbin."

"I was told to go stop the ruckus. also, one of your friends slipped into hyunjae's bed.."

"WE TOLD THAT BOY HE CAN CUDDLE WITH HIM TOMORROW!" felix irritatingly yells, changbin shushes him which he immediately obeys to.

"please stop fighting, we're all tired and need our rest. tell jisung to get out from under the bed. red head go to sleep, look at seungmin and the brunette boy setting a good example." changbin scolds, jisung crawls out from under the bed.

"these two? a good example! look they're not even sleeping!" jisung exclaims.

"explain seungmin's drool all over his pillow, we all know that only happens when he's in a deep sleep. just go to bed, I'm talking to both of you tomorrow." changbin says, pointing to hyunjin and felix.

they both nod, once changbin leaves the room. hyunjin turns to felix, "he made more eye contact with me."

"YOU HOE HE'S MINE!"

eric sighs, "so much for bonding time.."
