SONG REC: "3RD EYE" - STRAY KIDS

🕸🕸🕷🕸🕸

Changbin walked through the new door first, and Yun went in after. The moment her feet landed on the ground, she knew she had dollar signs in her eyes. Gold and diamonds and delicious, hard cash were stacked all around her.

Changbin let out a low whistle. "This is almost as impressive as our treasury."

"You mean ours is even better than this?" She waved her arms around to emphasize the riches surrounding her.

"What gang do you think you've been with this whole time? We're Stray Kids," he scoffed. "The best out there."

"Ah, my bad."

"Come on, Yun. Let's get our minds set on the goal. Take a bit of riches and blow this place up." He began shoving riches into his bag, and Yun followed suit.

Once their bags were full, they went outside and placed it in the back of the car, fitting as much as they could into the car. There were diamonds shoved into the cup-holders, and crates filled with the stolen goods strapped on top of the car.

Yun dusted her hands. "This enough?"

Changbin glanced at the car. "Yeah, should be enough. Let's set up the bombs inside now."

The two went back into the gang's treasury and exited the complicated door to enter the main building. It looked like a normal gang's home, similar to Stray Kids'. It was part mansion, part apartment building, and part gang-like. There were guns and plates hanging in the same place, and Yun felt right at home.

She set up the bombs without a second thought. When she was done, she pressed a button on her earpiece, who was on a separate floor.

"Changbin?"

"Mm?"

"You done?"

"Yup," he said, popping the p. "I'm outside, ready to go."

She joined him outside in the car, and he drove exactly a mile away. He handed her a small cube with a button on top.

"Wanna do the honors?"

"Hell yeah."

She pressed the button, and a robotic voice could be heard counting down.

"Going off in...three...two...one..." A click.

A bright light flashed in the base's direction as the bomb went off. Rubble fell from the sky as pieces of the gang's base flew all around the area. Changbin whooped and high-fived Yun, who's ears were ringing.

"Now that was an explosion, if I've ever seen one. Let me treat you, since it's your first mission."

As they drove back, Changbin bought her coffee and cheesecake to get some of her energy back. They would be celebrating her first mission at home.

🕸🕸🕷🕸🕸

Stray Kids all welcomed her home with happy smiles and open arms. Well, Stray Kids minus Lee Know.

He had glanced at her and given her a simple, "Good job."

"You're alive!" Felix cheered, shoving Lee Know aside. He gave her a big hug, spinning her around.

"I wouldn't die that easily," she protested.

"And not with me around!" Changbin shouted, flexing his arms again. I.N patted his bicep.

Dinner was already set on the table, and the members sat down to eat. Compliments headed her way as Changbin retold their story.

"And then the place went kaboom!" Changbin exclaimed, throwing his hands up. Everybody stared at him in silence as Hyunjin left the room. "Uh, sorry guys," Changbin mumbled awkwardly.

Everybody picked at their food, holding back smiles. It was fun bullying the shortest member.

"Well!" I.N grinned. "Yun did amazing on her first mission, huh?"

"Wouldn't expect anything less," said Han, who had his cheeks filled with food. "She is Yun-Yeong Kim, after all."

"Thank you, guys," she said, getting stupidly shy. "You're really sweet."

"Like cupcakes." Felix smiled at Yun. "What are your thoughts on cupcakes?"

She frowned. "What–"

A cupcake was shoved into Yun's mouth from behind, and she jumped. She swatted the hand that did it and stood up. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she turned to see Hyunjin with a stupid grin on his face and a destroyed cupcake in his palm.

She grabbed the cupcake and tackled him. "Idiot!"

"AHH!" Hyunjin screamed as he hit the floor.

She straddled him as she rubbed the cupcake all over his face and then tried to shove it down his throat. His eyes widened with playful fear – although a part of it was real. Yun was freaking terrifying.

"Stupid man with stupid man bun!" she shouted, wiping the frosting all over his face and laughing. He stuck his tongue out and tried licking her, and she flipped him over so that he was kissing the floor.

"Truce, truce!" he blubbered. "I'm sorry!"

"Escape better!" Han snided to Hyunjin.

"Kill better!" said Hyunjin back. He quickly shut up when his face was shoved into the floor again, courtesy of Yun.

She got up and offered him a hand, which Hyunjin took with shame. The members snorted, seeing both of their frosting-covered faces. Even Lee Know looked partly amused, with his arms crossed and his eyes crinkling. Yun found slight pride in this.

Yun glanced at the mirror leaning against the wall. Luckily, none of the frosting had gotten onto Yun's eye patch. She only had one, after all. She was careful not to touch her face in case it smeared onto the eye patch.

"Dumbasses," Changbin muttered.

Seungmin sighed in agreement. "You included."

That caused a different fight to break out, which consisted of more pinching than actual fighting.

"Truce?" she asked Hyunjin.

"For now," he sighed sarcastically. "I was just about to win, you know."

Yun and Hyunjin both made a trip to the bathroom to wash up. While washing his face, he splashed water onto Yun, which caused them to have a water fight in the bathroom until she destroyed him again.

"WIN?" she taunted. "All I see is your pleading face begging me to stop!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" he wailed. He put his hands behind his back.

"Not!" he added, as he used a water gun to shoot her.

By the end of the fight, he was laying in the bathtub with his butt in the air, soaked and exhausted, while Yun stayed mostly dry.

Coming back to finish her dinner, Yun glowed with happiness. Nothing like beating up Hyunjin. The warm feeling in her heart was foreign but welcome.

She was determined to keep Stray Kids as her home. She wanted to stay.
