Summary: Times the guys had to wake you up.
You were known for a lot of things. Being the only female in Stray Kids. Your iconic bows. Your adorable cat, Minbok. You were known for always carrying fidget toys wherever you went and for your love of food. You were known for being a gamer. You were also known for being able to cheat in games against the boys, undetected and being a sneaky little thief.
But there was one thing that terrified your members. Waking you up was scary. By day, you were a sweetheart. Kind, energetic, scheming and pretty intelligent with a slight motherly nature towards the youngest members. You were a menace and sometimes a little wacky. But when it came to waking you up, it was like waking a lion or a dragon. It was like you turned into a demon or something. No one liked it when they were the ones to wake you up. They always wished each other luck as if they were sending each other off to war, as if they were sending each other into the beasts’ lair.
Jeongin had the displeasure of being the first out of the group to wake you up. You were all living together, and everyone was rushing around to get ready. You all had an interview today. You, however, were still asleep. I.N had been tasked with waking you up.
He entered your room and walked over to your sleeping figure. “Doll.” He said softly. Nothing.
“Doll!” He raised his voice and gently tapped your shoulder. “Dolly, you need to wake up.” He told you.
You let out a groan and rolled over. I.N groaned. “Doll! Wake up. Come on!” He shook your shoulder.
Jeongin let out a surprised cry as he was hit with a pillow. “Noona!”
You glared harshly at the Maknae. “Yang Jeongin, unless you want to be smothered, I suggest you let me sleep.”
The male gasped in horror at your words. “But we have an interview today. You need to get up, please, Doll-Noona.”
You let out an annoyed huff of air and sat up. “I’m up. Now get out.” You waved him off. You were so tempted to go back to sleep. But you knew you had to get up.
Jeongin bowed and backed out of the room. “I’m never waking her again.”
Minho was ready to wake you up. You all had the weekend off, and Minho had suggested taking you home with him so you could meet his cats and, by extension, his parents. Minho knew he was crushing on you, but with the dating ban, he wasn’t taking any risks.
He walked into your room where you were sprawled out on your bed. Minbok was curled up on your stomach. He smiled and stroked the kitten softly. She let out a quiet mew as she looked up at him.
Minho sat on the side of your bed. “Come on, Kitten. Wake up.” His voice was soft but loud enough to hopefully wake you.
You groaned and shifted slightly on the bed. Minho reached out and stroked your hair out of your face. He then poked your cheek. However, he let out a yelp as you turned your head and bit his finger.
“AHhh! Dolly!” He cried out as you let go. He held his finger and frowned. Why did he lowkey like that? He shook the thought from his head; now was not the time.
Your eyes opened, ready to shout at whoever dared to wake you. However, your eyes immediately softened when you saw Minho as he scooped Minbok into his arms.
“Oh, Hi Min, Hi Bbokie.” Why were you so cute? With that adorably, sleepy little smile. “Wanna nap?” You asked him as your eyes fluttered closed.
Minho tapped your cheek. “Ah ah ah. Don’t even think about it, pretty girl. Wake up. Today is the day that you and Minbok meet Soonie, Doongie, and Dori.”
Your eyes snapped open. “You think I’m pretty?” Your eyes blinked up at him, all hopeful and sparkly.
Minho’s eyes went wide. He looked at Minbok in his arms and stood up. “Get dressed, kitten. Breakfast will be done soon.” With that, he quickly left the room and shook his head. He closed the door behind him and looked at Minbok. “She’ll be the death of me.”
You found yourself on the couch in Chan’s studio. You had asked for his help on one of the new songs that you were struggling with. However, whilst waiting for the man, you had fallen asleep on the couch. Chan, being the good man that he is, had covered you with his jumper as you slept; he was careful of your hand.
You had broken your wrist after falling off a platform during a performance. Your dorm mates, Minho, Felix, Suengmin and Jeongin had been taking great care of you. Whilst you pretended you were fine, you weren’t. Both Minho and Chan were quick to notice; they were always the first to notice when something was wrong.
As you slept on the couch, you let out a whimper of fear. You were moving a lot and not sleeping the usual way. This was like you were trying to get away from something or trying to stop something from happening.
Chan’s face dropped as he watched you. He took out his earphone, having only one in. He moved his chair closer to you. “Doll?” He asked softly.
He reached out and gently stroked your cheek, not wanting to startle you by shaking you awake. “Dolly, wake up!” His voice was louder.
He frowned when he heard you mumble in your sleep. “Don’t wanna go up.” Go up? Go up where? Then you let out a scream.
Chan’s eyes went wide. He shouted your name loudly and patted your shoulder. He let out a harsh yelp as your arm flung out and smacked him right on the cheek.
Chan blinked for a moment as he let the shock rush over him. When he looked back at you, you were awake, breathing heavily and looking at him. “Hey, hey. You’re okay. I’m here.”
You let out a shaky breath and shook your head. “I’m sorry. I just-” You trailed off and sat up. You reached out and pulled the jumper closer to your body.
The leader watched you, letting you take your time. “It’s okay. You have nothing to be sorry about. But I’m here if you wanna talk.”
You bit your bottom lip and fiddled with the bow at the end of your braid, which rested on your shoulder. “I keep thinking about the fall. Part of me is scared it’ll happen again. I feel so stupid.” You let out a sob.
Chan pulled you onto his lap and held you close, letting you cry. He rubbed your back with one hand and used the other to text Minho and Hyunjin to let them know what was happening, knowing that if anyone could cheer you up, it was those two.
Chan stayed there, holding you close, whispering to you how it wasn’t your fault. That it won’t happen again, it was an accident. Accidents happen. He told you you wouldn’t have to go on any more platforms until you were ready.
It didn’t take you long to fall back asleep in his arms; he didn’t wake you. Hopefully, this time wouldn’t end in another nightmare.
Hyunjin was sitting on the floor of the dance studio. He was drawing you, you fast asleep on the couch. You had on the most adorable pink heels. Minho had bought them for you not long after he worked up the courage to actually ask you out. The front of the heels looked like cat paws. On the back were ribbon bows. On the bottom of the shoe was a paw print. They had kind of inspired Hyunjin to draw you as an adorable human and cat hybrid.
The male let out a small huff of air as he felt his phone vibrate. You both had been waiting for the other DanceRacha members to arrive so you could start dance practice and the live show the four of you were planning to do.
Hyunjin took out his phone and saw a text from Minho, telling him that he and Felix were on their way. Which meant one thing: Hyunjin had to wake you up.
Hyunjin set his stuff to the side before getting up and walking his way over to you. “Doll. Dolly-Noona.” He reached out a hand and poked your shoulder before retreating. “Doll!” He called out.
Hyunjin made his way to the other side of the room. “DOLL!” He yelled out, causing you to jolt awake.
“Someone better be dead or dying!” You turned to look at Hyunjin, who looked at you sheepishly.
The male shrugged. “Minho and Yongbok are on their way. If you're asleep when Min gets here, he’ll won’t be happy. He texted, he wants us to be ready to start warming up when he gets here.”
You let out a whine and stood up. “Why can’t you people just let me sleep? I’m adorable when I’m asleep.”
Hyunjin giggled and walked over to you. He stroked your hair. “Yes, you are. You’re an adorable, sleepy little kitten.”
You pawed at his hand, making him giggle again. “So can you dance in those?” He asked guestering to your shoes. “They are really cute. They suit you so well.”
You grinned happily. “Thank you. I adore them. I have a white pair, a black pair and a purple pair at home too. And of course, I can dance in these. I can dance in any pair of shoes. Just like how I can kick ass in any pair of shoes.” You smirked at him.
Hyunjin immediately ran away from you, screaming and begging you not to kick his butt for waking you.
Changbin was bored. You were all filming the Case 143 music video. You were taking a nap with Hyunjin. You were both snuggled together. His arms were wrapped around your stomach. However, Changbin didn’t like this. He wanted his wife’s attention. Why was HIS wife cuddling with you? Shouldn’t you be awake and making googly eyes at Minho, pretending for the cameras that you both weren't dating, even though everyone knew you two were together?
The camera followed Changbin over to you and Hyunjin. It zoomed in on his pouting yet somehow smirking face.
“Hyunjin!” Changbin spoke sternly, hoping to wake the male.
Nothing happened. Hyunjin stayed close to you, sleeping. “Hyunjinnie!” Changbin spoke louder, gaining the attention of Jeongin, who was getting his hair done by one of the staff members.
Changbin stepped closer to you both. You were both so damn cute, looking adorable and cosy together, snuggled up. It was sickening. “Wife! Wake up! Pay attention to me. I need your attention.”
Hyunjin let out a small groan. “Changbinnie, stop.” He didn’t open his eyes, ready to continue his nap. The camera zoomed in on him before widening the shot to see you, Changbin and Hyunjin. With Jeongin silently judging in the background.
“I’ll kiss you like Sleeping Beauty if I have to! I live on your attention. Wake up! Stop snuggling with that homewrecker! Come on, Jinnie, WIFE!” Changbin was being teasingly whiny. He just wanted the attention of his favourite person. Was that too much to ask for?
Apparently not. The camera caught as your eyes snapped open in anger. You pushed Hyunjin up and over to Changbin, who caught him in his arms. “There! Here’s your wife! Take him and shut the fuck up, foghorn! Piss off so I can nap! Someone bring me either Felix or Jisung! They nap without interruptions.” You let out an angry grumble before rolling over and closing your eyes.
Hyunjin gasped. He felt like he was being punished for something he didn’t even do. He turned to look at Changbin and pouted. “I hope you’re proud of yourself. You interrupted my nap time, you took away my cuddle time with Doll, and you made her cranky. If she’s like that for the rest of the day, it’s your head everyone will be hunting.” He poked Changbin’s chest and walked away, pouting.
Sure, he could hang out with Changbin now, but he was going to make the older male work for it. Changbin smirked at the camera and shrugged innocently. “If I die…it’s worth it. Hyunjinnie! Wait up!” He gleefully ran over the taller male, ready to spend time with him.
Felix checked the time. You all had the day off today, but you hadn’t eaten yet. So Minho had sent Felix to go wake you up for food. Felix was somewhat nervous. He had never had to wake you up before. He had heard the stories, though. Hell, he’d heard how you were when Jeongin or Seungmin had tried to wake you up before.
Felix walked to the room you shared with Minho. There you were, in the middle of the bed. Felix had learnt that when Minho was in bed, you would always cuddle into him. But when he wasn’t in bed, you took up as much space as you could.
Minbok looked up from where she was sleeping on your stomach. She let out a quiet mew as she watched Felix approach.
Felix gently stroked Minbok. He then gently patted your shoulder. “Doll, you need to wake up. Minho-Hyung said you need to eat.”
You let out a groan. “Shh, sleeping.” You mumbled out as you shifted slightly to get comfortable.
“Please, Mummy Cat. Wake up. Get up-Ahh!” Felix let out a surprised squeak as you grabbed his wrist and pulled him into bed with you.
Felix was instantly hit with a cosy feeling. He gave in. He got under the covers and snuggled up to your side, closing his eyes and slowly falling asleep.
It was twenty minutes later when Minho came to find you both. He smiled, seeing you both and Minbok cuddled up asleep together.
Minho walked to his side of the bed and smiled. “Come on, Kitten. You’ve gotta wake up.” He said, running his fingers through your hair.
You groaned and grabbed his hand. “Either get in the bed or fuck off.” You spoke, your voice full of sleep.
Minho sighed. He should have refused. He should have forced you to wake up. But instead, he lifted the covers and slipped into bed beside you. He wrapped his arms around you, holding you and, by extension, Felix close.
“Just one more hour.” He whispered before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
The three of you, four including Minbok, were found by Seungmin and Jeongin. Both took a picture of the four of you, curled up together. Seungmin sent the picture to your phone, whilst Jeongin sent the picture to the group chat.
Mini Chan 🦊 : Look at this picture. The cats are napping together.
The picture was later posted on Instagram and Bubble with the caption ‘Daddy Cat, Mummy Cat, Baby Boy Kitten and Baby Girl Kitten. Napping Cat Family is real.’
Chan had a cuteness aggression episode after seeing the pictures.
The picture found its way onto one of the walls of your and Minho’s room. As well as on the nightstand in Felix’s room.
Seungmin had a mission. He had to wake up every member who was still asleep, which was basically everyone. Firstly, he woke up Changbin and Felix, who shared a room. Then he moved onto Hyunjin’s room and then Han’s room. The four were kind of easy to wake up. He skipped your and Minho’s room and made his way to the third floor to wake Chan and Jeongin. He walked into Innie’s room but banged his head, waking Jeongin up.
I.N let out a chuckle as he looked at Seungmin, who was kneeling on the ground holding his head. He stretched a little. “What are you doing?” He asked.
“Ow!” Seungmin whined out as he slowly got up. After a moment, he got onto the bed and climbed onto I.N. “Wake up!” He told him. He looked around the room. “This place is nice.”
“It’s cosy here.” I.N. grinned as he looked at Seungmin.
Seungmin stretched his head as he complimented the room. “I hit my head trying to wake you up!”
“Nice. Even better.” I.N. grinned as he turned to look at your still sleeping body.
“Wake up.” Seungmin spoke as I.N. rolled over, ready to go back to sleep.
Jeongin looked at Seungmin and smiled. “You have to wake Doll, don’t you?”
Seungmin sighed. “Yes, I do. It’s my life on the line here. So wake up.” He said as he flopped onto the bed dramatically.
Jeongin let out a laugh. “It was nice knowing you, bro.”
Seungmin got up and made his way out of the room. The chaos from him and Jeongin had woken Chan. “Chan-hyung. We have a mission at ten. So get ready and be downstairs.” He told the sleepy man before making his way downstairs.
Seungmin walked his way to you and Minho’s room that you had claimed. Being in a horror movie would be less scary than this. He got to the room and opened the door.
He made sure the camera saw the bed. The covers were over both of you completely. He grabbed the end of the duvet cover and dragged it down. “Two sleeping cats. Cute.” He spoke.
“Ya! Minho-Hyung! Dolly-Noona! Wake up!” He spoke loudly.
Minho looked up from where his head was buried in your shoulder. “What?” He asked in confusion.
Seungmin smiled and climbed onto the bed. “You have to wake up. We have a mission at ten!” He again made sure his voice was loud. He felt you move. Were you waking up?
“Dolly-Noona! Mrs Cat, you must wake up, please!” He shook your shoulder.
Your head snapped up. You stared the younger male down. “Bad dog, off the bed.” You snapped at him before lying your head back on the pillow.
Seungmin’s jaw dropped as Minho laughed loudly. “I’m completing my mission.”
You let out an annoyed groan. “No one asked. Fuck off! I wanna sleep!”
Seungmin pouted. Minho tapped your shoulder. “Kitten, that was mean. Say sorry.”
You huffed and sat up. “I’m sorry…. That you're sitting on a bed that we fucked in last night.” You flopped back in the bed and closed your eyes.
Seungmin pulled a face of disgust and jumped off the bed. “Yah! You’re both nasty. Ick. Get up!”
You let out an almost demonic grunt. “You're lucky I love you, Pup.” You sat back up, glaring at a now smiling Seungmin.
Seungmin giggled. “Remember, the mission is at ten.” He said before leaving the room.
You shook your head and lay back down. “Fuck the mission.” You closed your eyes.
Minho sighed. Well, looks like you were skipping the missions, and honestly, if the staff wanted you awake so bad, they’d have to wake you themselves.
Jisung was honestly minding his own business. You were all in the green room, waiting for the concert to start. But you all had hours before that was going to happen. So why Jisung thought it was a good idea to do vocal warmups right now was a serious question the others all had.
The problem wasn’t that he was doing vocal warmups; it was that he was doing them right next to you whilst you were napping. That was a dangerous situation to be in. But Han Jisung assumed it was fine. He naively thought that since you were still sleeping, it meant he was safe.
Chan focused the SKZ talker camera on Han. The camera caught all the members telling Han not to warm up whilst you were sleeping, or if he wanted to, do it in a different room. He didn’t listen. He thought he knew better.
He was brought to reality when a pillow smacked him in the face. Han choked on air and coughed as he looked at you like you had just stabbed him in the heart. “Doll!”
There you were, sitting up, glaring at him. Were you growling? “I swear if you make one more sound, I will deck you so hard, you silly little muppet. Let. Me. Sleep. I don’t wake you up, do I? Put the pout away. Cuteness won’t save you if you wake me again.” You lay back down and rolled over so your back was facing him.
Jisung’s eyes went wide as the others did their best not to laugh at him. He brought it on himself. Han tiptoes over to the others and lets out a small breath. “My life just flashed before my eyes.” He whispered. At least he was prepared for when he inevitably moves in with you and Minho.
Thank you for supporting me.
