It's a little different from what I normally write, since I usually only write the SKZ members, but i liked this idea.

This story includes Ateez members in it as well if you couldn't tell by the title.

------

When you're a member of a very successful group, you'd think everyone would get along. Especially after so many years together. Of course, the members would have their ups and downs just as any friendship or partnership does. But what if those downs lasted a lot longer than the ups? And it didn't seem that the downs were going to go up any time soon?

That's what Felix was stuck in. It was a major low for him at this moment in time with the group. This low had been going on for around three months now, and nothing seemed to be getting any better. He'd try to make sweets for the members, trying to win their affection over once again, but they would just ignore the gestures. He felt distant. He didn't know the members anymore. He'd try to go to Chan for help as he always used to, but something was up, and Chan seemed to always have something to do when Felix asked for his attention.

He felt so alone, not able to ask anyone why they were ignoring him. It got even worse when they started filming vlogs and acted like nothing was wrong around him. They would come and hug him and sweet talk him while filming, which did nothing but get Felix's hopes up every time. It was always "this time is going to be different. They actually mean it this time." But it wasn't that time. It was never that time. It was always a quick reminder that not everything is what it seems on camera. You only see what they want to show you.

He was sitting on a park bench by himself, people watching, when he got a text on his phone. He took it from his pocket to check what it was, seeing a text from Chan in the group chat. He opened the message which had responses flowing in by the second.

'The members of Ateez are coming over tomorrow night for a movie night' - Chan

'Yes! Finally!!!' - Changbin

'We're not busy tomorrow are we?" - Seungmin

One after the other, they responded to the message in their own fashion, either asking questions about the plans or just showing their excitement. Felix huffed and shoved the phone back in his pocket without responding. He knew that no one was going to acknowledge his response anyways. The only way they probably would've responded to him was if he started bad-mouthing the members in the chat, which he's thought of doing plenty of times, but never had the heart to betray them like that.

He continued to sit where he was, the day being almost out. He liked the slight chills that the wind would give him because of the warmth that he received after from his jacket. After a few minutes, he decided to start heading back to the dorm since it started getting dark. He didn't want to be out too late.

He got back and walked inside, taking his shoes off before entering. He saw four of the members sitting in the living room watching something on the TV while eating what looked to be take-out. They watched him walk in, but didn't say anything as they turned their attention back to whatever was on the TV since it was much more interesting than Felix was.

Felix just shook it off. It wasn't like he wasn't used to it at this point. He walked past them, straight into his shared bedroom where Changbin was laying in his bed. Felix plopped down on his mattress, having enough of the day, not wanting to think or do anything other than sleep. At least in his dreams, he could reminisce on the times when the members actually cared about him. He plugged his phone into the charger that was behind the bedside table, setting it down on the wood after putting on a sleeping playlist.
