"This is not how I imagined spending the day after our date."

Changbin gave an apologetic smile as he grabbed Felix's hand. "Sorry," He mumbles, "they wanted to talk about last night since you were there." Felix's eyebrows gently furrowed at his words. "The guys?" Felix asks and Changbin shrugged. "Yeah...and other people," Changbin said and Felix's lips went into a thin line.

The elevator dinged and the twins, who had joined, jumped in excitement as the doors slowly opened; Felix instantly spotted the worried face of Chan as they locked eyes. Michi and Ryu ran into the house and jumped at Jeongin who was smiling. The adults stepped in and removed their shoes, Felix scolding the twins who instantly went to remove their shoes, apologizing to their parents before going to distract themselves in a specific male's room. "Are they going to my room?"

"To be fair, you do have a nice room."

Changbin rolls his eyes and lets go of Felix's hand who only grabbed his sweater sleeve before he could get too far for him to follow. They got to the area and Felix's eyes went to the laptop that was sitting on the coffee table, showing a very familiar person. He yanked Changbin away from the couch and pulled him away, everyone looking at him confusingly. "Bin, you didn't tell me we were going to be talking to the police chief," Felix whispered and Changbin looked over. "To be fair, I didn't either," Changbin said and Felix frowned. "I don't want to be in the frame, can I not be in the frame?" Felix asks as he eyes Chan who gives a nod. "We just need you here so we can have confirmation other than Changbin and the other witnesses that they interviewed," Chan explains and Felix nods his head. "Okay."

Everyone got settled with Felix sitting on the arm of the couch next to Changbin. "Are we ready?" Chan asks and everyone nods their heads, Felix eyeing the group that he could be a part of. Felix gave a quick nod after catching Chan's eyes. He smiled and pressed the unmute button of the video call, speaking to the chief who started talking about the mysterious person they had captured last night.

The investigation was going smoothly and Felix wanted to laugh at Changbin's reaction; the male wanted to hold Felix's hand. "Now, I know this is old news, but have you found Lee Felix?" The chief asks and Felix's eyes slowly move to look at Changbin who had his eyes fixed on the computer screen. "Um...still no," Chan answered, "why do you want to know about him?" The chief clears his throat. "He mysteriously disappeared after the destruction of the laboratory and we want to know if he's dead or alive so we can place a gravestone in the cemetery for him," the chief explained and Changbin turned his attention to Felix who had pursed lips. "Is that entirely it?" Minho asks as he crosses his arms. "Yes, if he is alive there is no reason to charge him with anything because of our forgiving of the others and because of the possession of that lab."

Felix felt his body defense and he exhaled slowly, looking around the area as his legs crossed. The chief was about to say something when the door to his office opened. "I'll be back, we have more information," They said and the 7 nodded their heads, muting themselves as the officer left the screen. Changbin sighs and leaned his head onto Felix's legs. "So...you won't get charged with anything you did," Chan said with a bright smile, and Felix hums. "One less thing to stress about," Felix said and fixed his hair. "Do you want him to talk to you?" Seungmin asks and Felix thought for a bit, his fingers twirling a random strand of Changbin's hair. "I don't know," Felix said, "I was scared when I first came back because I thought people would recognize me."

Everyone nodded their heads and looked back to the computer where the chief had popped up, a discomforted look on his face. Chan quickly unmuted himself as Changbin sat upright. "Everything okay?" Chan asked and the chief shook his head. "We can't get anything out of the suspect because he doesn't speak Korean. One of our translators said that he speaks Italian." Felix's eyes widened and he looked at the group who was already looking at him. "Is someone else there?" The chief asks and Felix eyes Changbin who blinks. 'Just do it,' Felix mouthed and Changbin nodded his head. "Yeah," Changbin said and everyone nodded in agreement. "Who is it? Do we know them?" The chief asks and Changbin grabs Felix's hand, helping him carefully slide in his lap.

"Hello."

The four decided they would spend the night at the headquarters, requiring a couple of sleep somewhere else for the twins. Jisung offered to put the youngsters to bed and Felix couldn't argue with the choice of a free night, so he allowed it. Felix had finished a shower and was dressed, allowing himself to do the other nightly stuff he would typically do.

Felix felt a hand on his waist and his eyes widened, lifting his head to see it was Changbin. "Sorry," Changbin said and kissed the male's cheek. "It's okay," Felix said and reached over to stop his music. "Your night routine seems very relaxing," Changbin said as Felix turned around after placing the hand towel aside. "I have two different ones, this one is my typical one," Felix answered and Changbin hummed. "Are you finished?" Changbin asks as his hands slide from his waist. "Yeah," Felix answers and laughs when Changbin picks him up.

Changbin left the bathroom and Felix quickly turned off the lights before the male carrying him told him to. The walk wasn't long and Felix's back met the soft mattress. "I'm surprised you agreed to go translate the suspect tomorrow," Changbin said as he rolled onto his back with Felix straddling his waist. "I'm surprised," Felix said and reached over to where his phone was located. He unlocked the phone and swiped down to look at his notifications. "My glasses came in, can we get them tomorrow before we go to the police station?" Felix asks as he deletes the notification before scrolling through the rest. "Have you gotten any emails about another job?" Changbin asked and Felix shook his head. "No...most of the ones I got back were saying they don't need any right now," Felix said and Changbin hummed. "We-" Changbin pushed Felix to lay down and the male gave a small grunt, looking at the male who moved to be over him. "-should get to bed." Felix rolled his eyes at him and snacked his arms around the male's shoulders. "What if I don't want to go to bed yet?"
