BACKSTAGE - OT8

Let Me Teach You

The movie night went better than expected. No arguing or fighting, I think everyone needed a reminder as much as Felix did, that they're still here for each other. They weren't the family Felix was born with but they loved him no less. They all cuddled on the long couch in front of the screen. Chan and Hyunjin on either side of Felix, to give him the best cuddles while he sat in the middle. You could tell Changbin and Seungmin took the end seats so that they could be the furthest away from Hyunjin and Minho but they just sat quietly through the movie. Chan decided on a comedy since he figured they all could use a good laugh or two at the moment. They knew it wouldn't be the same for a while since everyone pretty much felt like they couldn't trust the couple but they still enjoyed being all together in that moment.

Hyunjin tried to give Felix as much comfort as possible to cheer the other up and cuddles always seemed to do the trick. Even though Felix felt warm and protected by the bodies of Chan and Hyunjin while being wrapped in fluffy blankets, he couldn't help glancing at Changbin throughout the movie wishing he was closer. Hyunjin saw this and could almost read his mind from the expression he was making. Felix never failed to complement Changbin's muscles because he really did love touching them. He loved to feel his thick arms around him that could easily manhandle him. But he just rested his head on Chan's strong broad shoulders, which were equally as comforting. Sue him if he wanted to feel all of his favorite men around him when he was upset. They felt like home. Not just Chan, Changbin, and Hyunjin, but all the members reminded him that he would never be truly alone because they are his family too.

After the movie successfully ended with them all enjoying themselves and having quite a few laughs, thanks to Ryan's amazing movie Deadpool, they were mostly somewhat tired and were gonna head back to their rooms to call it a day before being stopped by Hyunjin and Lee Know. "Wait a sec! Felix and Channie Hyung especially, we got a surprise for you yeah." Hyunjin told them as Minho rushed out with a "Be right back." The other members sat back down confused, while Hyunjin set up a camera in front of them and a laptop to the projector. He didn't say anything as he resumed his position next to Felix with a huge grin and waited for Lee Know to come back, which he did shortly after Hyunjin was done, a tray of food in hand. Before Chan could ask what was going on, Lee Know turned back off the lights as Hyunjin was making a call. Hyunjin's call rang aloud for three tones before the screen came back on again.

The screen showed four huge faces that Chan and Felix did not expect to see. It was their parents, with big smiles as they looked back at them, happy to see their babies all snuggled up, looking soft in their blankets and pajamas. Chan's eyes widened, as Felix almost started crying again. They called their parents as much as they could in between schedules but it was getting so busy, that it was hard to even hear their voices, let alone see their faces on Facetime. The screen was so big that it almost felt like they could reach out and touch them. Maybe that was why Hyunjin gave Felix an oversized teddy before the movie started, he knew he'd want to squeeze the life out of something, wishing it was his parents' warm embrace.

They all sat and listened to the two Aussie's parents for a while, chiming in to tell them how they are when asked, and laughing their behinds off, at their siblings dissing them playfully. It was very heartwarming to see them so happy. Especially when Lee Know showed them the meals he made. It was their favorite dishes, their parents gave him the recipes for. Chan's face lit up like never before, so cute Hyunjin thought.

Eventually, the rest said their goodbyes, giving them some privacy to talk alone, it just felt like the right thing to do. It was pretty late, but it was the only time both their parents were free and none of them minded. Though they're all unusually tired. Maybe because it's the first real few rest days in so long and their bodies are actually recuperating. Hyunjin didn't know, he just wanted to sleep, but he wanted to bother I.N more, when seeing him come out yarning, he was so cute, he thought cuddling him would be the best decision at the moment. He followed him to his room, silently sneaking in and lying right down in bed with him, surprising the younger so much he felt like he jumped out of his body before realizing who it was. "Hyung!" I.N nearly yelled while Hyunjin was laughing his head off. "I'm sorry-haha-I just wanted to cuddle." Hyunjin said while snuggling his face into Innie's back. "Jeez, you scared me." I.N told him, turning around to face him, lying on his side.
