Chapter Text
"But why not? I want to go with you." You pout. "I haven't been, and I want to see Felix again." You cross your arms and look up at your older brother.
"Why do you want to go so bad?" Seungmin sighs and looks down at you, raising a brow.
"Because I want to see JYPE. I want to see where my favorite brother works. And like I said, I want to see Felix again." He just stares at you with his brow raised.
"I'm your only brother, Y/n." You roll your eyes at his comment.
"I haven't seen Felix in two years. You don't bring him around to see me or mom anymore. You know she loves him like a son, too." You pout again. "Plus, I want to be able to meet the rest of Stray Kids. I don't know why you won't let me meet them."
"Because they're annoying, and I don't trust them around you. They're guys, after all." He turns around and walks into his mom's kitchen. He was there to visit and you happened to be home from your studies.
"You're a guy, too, Seungmin." You follow him.
"But I'm not like them." He goes into the fridge and pulls out a water bottle.
"Yes, you are. You're annoying, and I've seen you do plenty of 'guy' things." You air quote, watching him. He sighs and opens his bottle, taking a large sip.
"Fine, but you need to not cause trouble. Otherwise, I'm bringing you right back home. Understood?" He puts the cap back on the bottle. Your eyes go wide, and you smile big. You rush over and give Seungmin a big hug.
"Thank you, Seungmin!" He can't help but smile, hugging you back.
The next day, Seungmin brings you to JYPE, getting you a visitors badge.
"Did you want to see the studio where 3RACHA usually works, or did you want to go to a dance studio first?" He asks, passing you your temporary badge.
You put it over your head and think. "Let's go to the dance studio first. Maybe I'll get to see Felix there." You smile.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you have a crush on him." Seungmin chuckles.
"No. Felix is like another brother to me." You laugh. "He also makes the best brownies I've ever had." Seungmin laughs and leads you to the elevators, taking you up to the dance practice room where he knows some of the members will be.
Entering the room behind your brother, you’re met with three of the group members, one of which was Felix. The other two being Lee Know and Hyunjin. All three look over when the door opens, Hyunjin and Lee Know give a questioning look, never having met you before. Felix's face lights up, a wide smile across his lips.
"Y/nnie!" He shouts and runs over. He scoops you up into his arms, enveloping you in a hug as he spins you around. You laugh loudly as you hug him back.
"Hi, Lixie!" You bury your face into his neck as you hug him. "I missed you so much." Your voice muffled.
"I missed you, too." He sets you down, pulling away, but keeping his arms around you. "How's my favorite sister?" He grins.
"Sister? We've met your sisters, Yongbok. Unless you had a third one?" Hyunjin says.
Felix lets go of you and turns to face his friends. "No, not like my real sister."
"She's my younger sister." Seungmin speaks up.
"You have a younger sister, and never introduced us?" Hyunjin asks.
Lee Know looks at Seungmin, squinting his eyes. "Trying to hide her from us?"
"Yes, actually." He says, flatly. Hyunjin gasps dramatically and walks over.
"How come you were trying to hide this cutie from us?" Hyunjin says as he bows to you in greeting. "Hi, I'm Hyunjin. I gathered your name is Y/n from Felix shouting it." He laughs.
"See why I don't trust them with you?" Seungmin looks at you, brow raised.
"Isn't Hyunjin like this all the time though?" You question.
Seungmin is quiet for a moment, crossing his arms, he mumbles out, "…yes." You snort.
Lee Know finally walks over and bows his head. "Hi, I'm Lee Know. Or Minho." He straightens, smiling at you. You look up at him and smile wide.
"Hi, Minho. I'm sorry if this is weird, but you're my bias. It's nice to meet you!" You say quickly. Felix and Hyunjin feign being hurt, not being your bias. "Don't get me wrong, I love you all, but I love Minho the most." Minho smirks and raises an eyebrow.
"Oh, you love me, do you?" He crosses his arms, his signature smirk playing across his lips as he teases you. Your face flushes and you put your hands up in front of you.
"That's not what I meant!" You say quickly. Seungmin rolls his eyes.
"Don't tease her, hyung." He watches his older member. Minho just continues to smirk, letting out a quick, sharp laugh. "Y/n, go sit on the couch so we can practice. Ok?" Your brother points to the couch by the wall. You nod as Felix finally releases you and you go and sit down.
The four of them go to the middle of the room, one of them turning on music and they practice. You watch them through the mirror on the opposite side of the room. You catch Minho staring at you a few times, a playful smirk across his lips every time. At one point, he actually winks at you, making your cheeks flush again.
About 30 minutes into them practicing, the door opens and the rest of the group enters the room. None of them notice you sitting on the couch as you stare at them like a deer caught in headlights. You can't believe you're in the same room as Stray Kids. After a few minutes, Han turns to walk towards the couch, stopping mid step.
"Uhh..there's someone sitting on the couch you guys." His eyes just as wide as yours. You stand quickly and bow.
"Hi. I'm Kim Y/n." You stand up straight. "I'm Seungmin's younger sister."
Chan looks over, surprised. "How did I not know you had a younger sister, Seungmin?"
"Really only Yongbok knew." Seungmin shrugs like it was obvious you existed. Han finally walks over to the couch, setting his jacket and bag on the couch. He bows to you and straightens.
"Hi, I'm Han." He smiles a toothy grin at you.
"I know." You laugh. "I'm a fan of you guys."
"You look like Seungmin, honestly. Well, more like a puppy, I should say." Jisung says, still smiling.
"Thanks?" You laugh. Chan, Changbin and Jeongin all come over as well, introducing themselves properly to you.
"So," Jisung starts. "Who's your bias?" He grins.
"I actually like all of you, but Lee Know is my main bias." Your cheeks flush again, remembering what he teased you about. Jisung leans over to whisper in your ear.
"He's mine too." He leans back and laughs. "I hope you enjoy your time here, I'm sorry that we aren't able to talk much since we have to practice."
You wave him off, saying it's ok. You go and sit back on the couch and watch them practice again.
After an hour, the boys take a short break. Minho goes and sits next to you on the couch, sharp eyes watching you as he saunters over. He plops down on the cushion right next to you.
"You having fun sitting over here?" He looks around at the view you have before turning his head to you.
"Watching my favorite group get to practice?" You smile. "Of course."
"Would you want to practice with us?" He smirks. You stare wide eyed.
"N-no. That's ok. I don't want to get in the way." You shake your head.
"You won't be in the way." Minho stands up and grabs your hand, pulling you up. He brings you to the middle of the dance room. "Just follow my lead." He smiles and slowly starts to show you the steps. Seungmin watches from his spot on the floor. Minho catches your brother watching and smirks. He steps behind you and places his hands on your hips, guiding you in the steps. Minho chuckles quietly and lets go when he sees Seungmin start to get up.
"So what do you do when you aren't home, Y/n?" Jeongin asks, popping up out of nowhere. You jump a bit and stare up at the boy.
"I uh..I'm going for my certificate in professional makeup. I've always been in love with doing makeup and decided to go for it professionally." You tuck some hair behind your ear.
"Maybe you can be our makeup artist." Jeongin winks at you. Seungmin protests from his seat. "Why not, hyung? I'm sure she's amazing."
"I mean..her skills are really good, but why would you want my sister as your makeup artist?" Seungmin pouts. "Wouldn't that be weird?"
The rest of the group all say 'no' in unison. Seungmin grumbles and sits back against the wall.
"Show Channie-hyung some of what you've done, and see if he can put in a good word." Jeongin chuckles. You nod and start to head over to the oldest, Minho grabbing you by the waist.
"After we are done with our dance." He smirks down at you. Your cheeks flush as you watch him. Seungmin squints as he watches you and Minho. After 15 minutes, Minho finally lets you go and see Chan, Jeongin already having explained to him. You sit next to him on the couch and show him some pictures on your phone of the makeup that you've done.
"Wow, Y/n. You are really good. I'll definitely see what I can do about getting you here. Maybe even as an intern to start." Chan says, swiping between the pictures you showed him.
"No no," you say, waving your hands in front of you. "You don't have to go out of your way to do that." Chan laughs.
"It's not a problem. Plus, it'll get you some good experience working with idols, aside from your brother." He indicates towards Seungmin, who has been watching you like a hawk since the rest of the group came in. You raise your eyebrow at Seungmin who just watches you as you talk to Chan.
"He really doesn't trust you guys." You sigh. Chan looks at you confused. "He said he doesn't trust you all around me, and that you're 'guys after all.'" You roll your eyes as you air quote your brother. Chan laughs.
"He is definitely an older brother. I'm sometimes the same way with Hannah. It's the protective side of being a big brother." He smiles at you. "At most, the boys will probably tease Seungmin by playing around with you. Don't take it to heart if they take their…" he waves his hands, trying to think of the right word. "Flirting..? Too far. But do tell them if they make you uncomfortable, yeah?"
"Of course. I'm honestly just glad to be able to hang out with you all in general." You smile at him. He smiles back and stands up. He gathers the group to continue practice.
——
"Y/n?" You hear your brother call from your apartment's front door. You had given Seungmin a spare key in case he needed it, or you locked yourself out…again.
"I'm in the kitchen, Seungmin. Just making some lunch." You call back.
"Make extra. Felix is here with me." He takes his shoes off and slips on house slippers. Felix follows suit but runs past him into the kitchen after putting house slippers on. Seungmin laughs seeing his friend run off. He steps into the kitchen just as Felix wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you into a back hug.
"How's my mini?" The blonde asks, resting his head on your shoulder. You smile at the nickname. "I've missed you all week." He pouts as he watches you make extra sandwiches, holding onto you like you would disappear if he let go.
"I missed you too, Lixie." You feel him hum against your back. Seungmin sits at your dining table and looks out your balcony door. "I've been ok. Just attending my classes. Nothing exciting."
"Have you heard anything from the company yet? About an internship?" He gently rocks your bodies back and forth. You shake your head.
"No, nothing yet. Classes are almost done for the semester though, so maybe they're waiting?" He hums against your back again. It's silent for a moment before your phone dings. Felix reaches between your bodies to pull your phone from your back pocket, unlocking it for you. He's probably the only person you trust with your password. Seungmin doesn't even have access to it.
"It's a text from Chan-hyung. Did you want me to open it?" He asks you, showing you your screen. You nod and he opens it, reading it with you. "Looks like you got the internship, mini." He smiles wide and kisses your cheek, congratulating you. Seungmin looks over towards you and Felix.
"Really?" He asks from his seat. Felix lets you go and brings your phone to Seungmin to show him. "Wow. I'm impressed. Congrats, Y/n. Honestly." You smile and bring over sandwiches for the two boys, going back to the counter to clean up before bringing your plate to the table.
——
You met with the makeup artists at JYPE and we're told, due to very adamant requests from the group, you were going to be interning as Stray Kids make-up artist once schooling ends. You were so excited to be working with your favorite group. Seungmin took you up to the dance studio where you met the group last time and you told them all the good news. They each gave you a hug as a congratulations. Minho's hug lingered a bit, teasing Seungmin with the closeness.
"Alright, alright. Let Y/n go, hyung." Seungmin steps up and Minho lets go of you. You pout slightly and glare at your brother. He just rolls his eyes in response while Minho silently chuckles.
"How about we go out to eat sometime this week to celebrate Y/n's future internship with us?" Chan asks the group. Before you can deny, the boys all say yes, even Seungmin, which surprised you. You pout again and thank the boys.
——
The months flew by and the end of the school semester came up, meaning you start your actual internship with JYPE in a few weeks. Seungmin brought you around the members more often so you can get used to being around them. Most of them teasing Seungmin by being touchy with you. You didn't mind it, as you liked to bother your brother, and the boys told you in advance they were probably going to tease your brother this way. Chan says under normal circumstances they wouldn't do this, but they love to mess with the puppy of the group.
You were hanging out with the group in Chan's and I.N's apartment, practicing doing their makeup. Nothing too extravagant, but just simple makeup that they would wear when on camera. Seungmin, Chan and I.N sat off to the side, having their makeup already done. Minho sat in the middle of the couch, waiting for you to start on his.
You come back to the living room after cleaning out and drying your makeup brushes, Minho smirking up at you. You raise a brow at him but don't question it. You know he's a troublemaker and he could be smirking for any reason.
"You ready, Minho?" You ask, grabbing the foundation that matches his skin tone. He nods and playfully pulls you into his lap, making you sit sideways on him. You gasp a bit making Seungmin turn his head towards you and his hyung.
"Lee Know-hyung. What are you doing?" He moves to the edge of his seat.
"Nothing. She's just doing my makeup." He looks at Seungmin, a mischievous grin on his face. He looks back up at you and winks. You shake your head, a light blush on your face. You carefully apply the makeup to his face. He watches you with his dark eyes, smiling softly when he sees how concentrated you are. When you sit back to see how he looks, he makes a face at you.
"Minho, no faces." You laugh. "I need to make sure the makeup looks ok." You smack his shoulder playfully. He chuckles and smiles. When you go back to applying his makeup, he makes a face every time you turn from the makeup to him. You just roll your eyes and smile. He places his hands on your hips and puckers his lips at you, making you blush a bit.
"Don't you have to apply lip balm, Y/n? Why are you blushing?" He asks quietly, making sure Seungmin doesn't hear.
"R-right." You grab the lip balm from your makeup kit, turning back to him, he puckers his lips again. Your eyes linger on his lips a bit and he smirks. You shake your head some and apply the balm to his lips. When you're done, you carefully climb off his lap. He smiles at you before getting up himself. You grab the mirror to show him.
"I trust you, Y/n. I'm sure you did amazing." He reaches up and tucks some hair behind your ear, fingers trailing down your jaw before lightly tapping the bottom of your chin. He smirks and walks over to the others that have their makeup done already. You compose yourself and do the makeup for the rest of the boys.
