STRAY KIDS ONE-SHOTS

[ I'm Here For You ] Bang Chan x Reader

I stood on the roof admiring the stars in the darkened sky, I always thought that the stars were once people that died and will soon start a new life. I released a cold sigh out of my mouth and ignored how it blended perfectly with the air around me. A light wind pushed my hair away as I stared down looking at each dorm's light getting turned off signaling that the people inside were now in their slumber. I checked my phone next to me and saw that it was already 3:26 in the morning. "Perfect time." I thought to myself, I opened my phone and went to one contact. I opened my private chat with the person and started to type away whatever came to mind. After a while, I rechecked the time at 3:59, basically 4 a.m. already. I looked at the contact name one last time before sending my long ass text, I looked at the single tick mark until it became 2 marks. I stood up and took my shoes off. A stronger gush of wind gently hit my face moving my hair away, I smiled softly as the wind brought the memories I've had playing my own character play in.

MEMORY 1 
I was feeling way too drained out and sick that I couldn't even move away from my bed, I took my phone from my nightstand and emailed my teacher telling him that I was sick and I couldn't get up, he took the excuse and in an instant I let my arm fall back to the bed. I closed my eyes and drifted off to another round of slumber. After a few hours, I was forced to wake up by a knock on my door. "Who on earth is it?" I thought to myself forcing myself to get up from the comfort of my bed "This person better be worth it or I'm collapsing on the spot." I muttered angrily as I made my way to the door, I opened the door and suddenly all my anger that I had washed off of me. 

"I heard you were sick so I came to visit!" Christopher Bang Chan stood at my door with his usual bright smile while holding a bag of medicine and food, "You didn't have to go through all that trouble just to visit me." I told him as I let him into my dorm, I was able to get a dorm to myself so it was just the two of us. "Nah it was worth it! Now come on, knowing you you did not eat yet." Chan raised a brow at me as he set the food on the table all I did as a response to that was smile guiltily.

MEMORY 2
"Chan~ Where are we even going?" I asked as he continued to drag me to god knows where. Earlier he just came into my dorm and told me to dress up casually and that he was taking me somewhere but didn't give me a single piece of information about the location. "It's a surprise!" he smiled as he continued to hold my hand tightly as he walked in a direction I had never seen "How much longer? You've been dragging me for more than 20 minutes now!" I told him, and he let out a small laugh "Calm down, we're almost there." he informed me and within 3 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination. I gasped at how beautiful the place looked. 

There were multiple bright flowers, and a red and white plaid blanket was spread out on the grass, there were fairy lights hung around trees and crossed, and in front of us was a calm river. "Chan this is so beautiful!" I gasped at the view, "Yeah it's pretty but you're prettier." he smiled genuinely as he looked at me, I felt a blush run through my face as I smiled shyly trying to avoid eye contact. "Come on let's sit down." he took my hand and brought me down to the blanket. The two of us just talked about everything, studies, interests, hopes and dreams. Everything.

MEMORY 3
I sat on my bed crying my eyes out, It was 2 a.m. and I had a terrible nightmare. It was about something Chan never knew about me, the nightmare was a past memory of my father beating my brother to death. I wanted to scream as I remembered every single word he said to us. "Useless"
"Brat"
"Stupid"
"Worthless"
"Unwanted"
"Burden"

I hate how one single nightmare can cause this huge of a reaction out of me. I didn't want to call Chan, he already did enough for me and who knows maybe he's getting bored of me. My father was and is abusive towards me and my older brother, my older brother was my first-ever best friend. His name was Soobin and he was the first person to love me and he was the first ever man that I loved. Soobin would always protect me from that monster and would always sacrifice himself to get the worst beatings from Dad. I remember crying so hard that night, I could never forget it.
