It had been a few weeks since your meeting with stray kids. After they started texting you as the other boys had gotten your number, they were loud even if they were only on the phone. It amused you, to be honest. Oh yes, today you will go to the beach with them in your (home country). They wanted to meet you again, so they scheduled a meeting with you.

You didn't know why they would do so much for a meetup, but you were happy. Right now, you were at the beach waiting on the boys. Some of your classmates played and had fun in the volleyball places behind you. They had noticed you as you saw their sterling glances. You tried your best to ignore them soon though you didn't have to anymore as you felt two strong arms snake aorund your waist.

You yelped and heard a chukle you recognized as Chan's "Yah Chan! Don't do that again!" You whined as he sat you down again. He only chuckled, and you turned aorund to see all the boys there. They were all clad in white which matched them to no end. You smiled fondly at your friends. After that meeting at the concert, you all grew closer.

They were loud, annoying, and everything in between, but you didn't want to change them for the world.

You snapped back from your thoughts when you felt someone shake you softly. "Saph, you okay? You seemed pretty spaced out," Minho said, making you shake your head and smile at him. "I'm fine, just thinking how lucky I am to have you all" your words warmed the boys' hearts, and they smiled softly. "We're happy to have you too, y/n."

You all had fun playing aorund on the beach or in the water.

The other boys or classmates had slipped from your mind, which was not a big deal. You didn't care about them if they didn't bother them. But little did you know that some of them were very furiously jealous and were seething the whole time he watched you.

You smiled as the boy laughed and had fun. You had on a simple top and skirt to cover your bikini top, but you knew that you would take it off sooner or later. 

Top and Skirt:

Bikini:

"Y/n-shi, would you want to tell us whose those guys behind us are? They have been looking this way for quite some time now," Changbin asked. Though his tone was sweet, you saw the annoyance in his eyes and immediately turned around to see many familiar faces. It was your classmates. They weren't looking at you right now, but you caught one of them stealing a glance. You raised a brow when your eyes met and turned back to the boys "it's my classmates. I don't know why they're watching us, probably due to they not being used to seeing me around many guys" the boys nodded and continued talking ignoring the younger ones. 

That was until one of them tapped you on the shoulder. You turned around, seeing him with a small smile. "hey Y/n, fancy seeing you here. And with... boys? Where're your girls?" you rolled your eyes and turned fully around to face him "these are not my playmates if that was you're implying. we're simply friends, and I would suggest to back off before they get more annoyed." you said. The man with the name Hu Jung-Ho or just Jung-Ho. was one of the famous guys in your class, giving him the off-boy vibe. You didn't understand why Stray Kids weren't rude when they were much more popular than a college boy. Jung-Ho chuckled, "why would they get annoyed at me? I'm talking to you, not them. they can't stop me anyway," you smirked. cockyness was always one of Jung-Ho's bad treats, and it served him bo right. 

"what is going on here?" a mid-deep voice said behind you, and you felt hands encircling your waist. by the look on Jung-Ho's face, it had to be one of your boys. You laid your hands on the member's hand smiling incoenrlty "this is Jung-Ho, one of my classmates. I told him to back off before you, and your friends get annoyed, but I guess he won't listen" something told you that it was Hyunjin who was holding onto you due to his soft hands and tall structure. You were at 1.70cm but were shorter than most of the boys except Changbin, of course. "I offer you a few minutes to back off. And don't talk to what's ours. It won't be pretty," Hyunhin growled, and his hands at your waist tightened, and soon you felt all the boys standing beside you. Jung-ho got more scared and backed off.

You turned around in Hyunjin's hands to see that it was indeed him. Your eyes met, and he gave you a soft smile, his hands not leaving your hips. Well, that was until Chan cleared his throat, and teh young, long-haired boy saw what he had done. Hyunjin blushed a deep red, making you chuckle. "thanks, guys, for backing me up there. I usually can do it on my own, but it's fine to know I have eight guys on my side," you said, giving them all soft smiles while meeting each one of their eyes. They all blushed under your gaze but smiled. "it was the least we could do. So you're one of us now," Jisung said, giving you a gummy smile. 

You nodded and thanked them again. It was starting to get late, so you had to leave. "are you going to stay here or are you going back to Korea?" you asked as the 9 of you walking toward your house as the boys had offered to walk you home. They all shrugged "our manager gave us a week off before we have to go back and start with our lives again. So no, we won't," Felix said, and you nodded. Soon enough, you all reached your home, and you bid them goodbye. "thanks for the time today. I had fun. And as you live here for this week, I believe we will see each other again," you said and hugged them all before going inside. 

Now that the guys were left outside, they all smiled and laughed "let go," Chan said, and they all nodded, walking away from your house and to their own. 

This day was unique, so your bond with the eight boys would grow profusely and maybe bloom to something more.
