The fourth was his own birthday.

Felix woke up alone on the couch, the night before seeming like a distant memory. Did he leave already?

"You should've told me y'all were dating." Felix hastily tried to hide his disappointed expression as Jisung walked into the room.

"What- no we're not dating." He stuttered over his words, growing redder by the second.

"That's not what this picture says!" Jisung held out his phone for the boy to see. To his dismay, Sungie had a picture of the two of them snuggled together on the couch.

"Hey!" He reached out to snatch it away.

"Don't worry, I already sent it to you!" Felix couldn't decide whether to thank or yell at him. Wait who else did he send it to? Oh my Jihyo.

"That's not what I'm worried about!" He tackled the other, desperate. The two ran through the dorm laughing like children when the door opened right as Felix finally got Jisung in the corner.

"So I got you a smoothie since Sungie said you didn't like-" Chan froze upon seeing the position the two were in.

"It's not what it looks like!" Felix dropped his arms to his side immediately, giving Jisung the chance to escape.

"I sure hope not since Minho only left like thirty minutes ago." Chan chuckled as he handed one of the cups to Jisung. Wait does that mean Minho knows- His friend's grin said it all as he ran out of the room.

Chan walked over to Felix, before sitting on the couch.

"Happy Birthday, Sunshine!" He handed the boy the pink smoothie. "I assumed you'd want strawberry."

"Thanks." He took a sip, relishing its freshness. "Want some?" Holding out the cup, Chan took a small sip.

"Mmm."

"It's sweet."

"Just like you." Nestling into Chan's side, Felix smiled.

"Guys we're going to the amusement park!" Jisung had busted into the room, sunscreen in hand.

"What." It came out as a statement, not quite what Felix intended.

"We already decided and got stuff set up. Chan can drive you! Minho and I are gonna finish things up." Before Felix could respond, he bolted out of the dorm, grinning. Chan had also gotten up.

"I've gotta head home and change. I'll pick you up in half an hour-ish?" Felix nodded, waving goodbye, still not quite comprehending the situation.

What am I supposed to wear? He aimlessly sorted through clothes before settling on his usual style. In response to his stomach grumbling, he dug around in the fridge for leftovers. It's my birthday, I can eat pizza for breakfast.

As he threw his plate in the sink, his phone went off, signaling that Chan had arrived. He quickly walked out to the parking lot, looking for the black car.

"Over here, Sunshine!" Looking for the source of the voice, he couldn't help but smile when he found the owner. Chan was practically leaning out the window, waving. Climbing into the passenger seat, Felix was greeted with warmth. His hugs are so nice.

"You look cute."

"So do you, Channie." The older boy blushed and Felix couldn't help but giggle.

As Chan drove, Felix did his best to not stare, but every so often he could feel Chan's eyes on him. Before long, they found themselves in the parking lot. The line to get in wasn't nearly as long as they expected. Though they also didn't expect Jisung to show up with a giant sign wishing him a happy birthday.

"Let's ride this one!" Seungmin gestured to something that made Felix's stomach drop. Oh heck no. It was supposedly the fastest in the country and just looking at the height made him feel ill. Regardless of his protests, he and Chan ended up in the back of the line.

Felix couldn't remember much about the ride besides his screams of terror and clutching Chan's arm.

"How about we just walk around?" The boy quickly agreed, taking Chan's hand and departing from the group. They eventually found a cotton candy booth and Felix's eyes widened in amazement as the person made it.

"Channie, I wanna ride the Ferris wheel!" The height didn't seem nearly as daunting, plus it was much slower than the roller coaster from earlier. By the time they boarded, both had already finished their cotton candy. Felix pulled out his phone, making an attempt to take a selfie together.

"You know Felix, I'm not a photographer, but I can picture us together." He startled, dropping the phone. Once the words fully registered, he cracked a smile, leaning against the older boy.

"Can I?" Chan nodded, moments before their lips met.

It's sweet.
