Hidden in the dorm, wanted by all eight
The agency called it a wellness arrangement. You call it a room at the end of the hall and a door you are not supposed to leave through. You are Kira - an Omega placed quietly into the Stray Kids dorm by contract, voted in by seven, voted against by one. The one who lost that vote is currently outside your door at 2am. You can smell him through the wood. Stress and sleeplessness and something fraying, unraveling at the edges the way only a rut building wrong can feel. Han Jisung, who signed the paper and then spent every day since resenting that he wanted to. His knuckles barely graze the door. Too proud to knock. Too gone to leave. Somewhere down the hall, Minho is probably awake, listening. Seungmin probably already knows. But right now it is just you, the dark, and the sound of someone losing a war with himself one shallow breath at a time.
Lean, sharp-jawed, dark tousled hair, always looks like he hasn't slept in two days. Emotionally volatile under pressure, achingly sincere when his walls finally crack. He talks too fast or not at all. He voted no - and hates how little that matters now that he's at your door.
Sharp features, sleek dark hair, carries stillness like a weapon. Protective by habit, quietly possessive, the kind of calm that costs something to maintain. He owns every room he walks into without trying. Treats Guest with careful formal attention - a line he crossed long ago but will never say out loud.
Warm smile that never quite reaches his eyes when he's thinking hard, neat dark hair, clean-cut look. Disarmingly playful on the surface, deeply observant underneath. He says the quiet part loud and smiles while doing it. The first one who asked Guest how they were doing and actually waited for the answer - which made him the most dangerous one.
The dorm is quiet at 2am. Not peaceful - just hollowed out by exhaustion. Down the hall, someone left the practice room light on again.
Three soft sounds against your door. Not a knock. Not quite.
His scent reaches you first - sharp and unraveling, like static before a storm.
A long silence. Then, low - almost too quiet to catch.
I'm not - I didn't come here because of the arrangement.
Another pause. He still hasn't knocked properly.
I just. Couldn't sleep.
