Felix decided to eat his lunch at a park nearby. He liked people watching and getting some fresh air after being stuck in the dance studio for hours. It was a clear day and a slight chill in the air, so Felix had taken Hyunjin's jacket with him to work.

He was so lost in thought, he almost didn't notice that his phone was ringing. He considered not picking up until he realized who it was.

"Felix, I have an idea," Hyunjin said as soon as Felix picked up the phone.

"Well, hello Hyunjin," Felix laughed. "What's your idea?"

"You need to come meet my roommates," Hyunjin said.

Felix considered the idea. "Sure, when?"

"Tonight," Hyunjin replied.

Felix paused for several seconds, waiting for Hyunjin to amend what he had said. When he realized that Hyunjin was serious, he almost laughed. "What? So soon?"

"Yeah, why not?" Hyunjin said, the excitement clear in his voice. "I want to be able to brag about my boyfriend now"

Felix laughed, shaking his head. How could he say no? Even though it was short notice, he figured there was no harm. From what he knew of the three other guys, they were decently laid back.

He wondered what that felt like. It wasn't just Minho's protectiveness that he had to be considerate of, it was also winning Seungmin and Jeongin's approval. That task was impossible, as far as Felix knew.

"There might be a little more to the story," Hyunjin admitted.

"What do you mean?"

"You should meet them soon because I have to leave tomorrow," Hyunjin said quickly. "They just told me today, I'm going to Paris for my next job"

"I'm so happy for you!" Felix said, an edge of sadness in his voice. "This is a really big step!"

"Yeah," Hyunjin responded, nothing bothering to hide his despair. "But I'll be so far away from you"

"Don't worry about me," Felix said. "Be happy for yourself, love"

Felix could almost hear Hyunjin pouting on the other end. "I want to stay here"

"You're impossible," Felix responded affectionately. "I'll see you tonight, yeah?"

"Bye, Lix," Hyunjin said. "I love you"

"Not as much as I love you" Felix replied, hanging up before Hyunjin could start arguing. He started walking back to the dance studio, trying to stifle his feelings around Hyunjin leaving. His schedule was always a little manic, but he was never in a different country.

Of course he was happy for him, but that didn't stop him from being worried.

His thoughts continued swirling around until he got back to the studio, where Minho was sitting in the break room.

He seemed... different. His leg was bouncing but not in an anxious way, it was more like he was giddy. Which was impossible, because hell would freeze over before Lee Minho got giddy over someone.

Luckily for him, Felix had bigger things on his mind at the moment, so his interrogation would be postponed until tomorrow.

"Hey Minho," He started, using the sweetest voice he could muster through his dismay. "So, Hyunjin is leaving-"

"Hyunjin what?!" Minho stopped bouncing his leg and looked up at Felix with fury. "He left you?"

"No, no, no," Felix said. "Let me finish"

Minho's sour expression didn't leave. "Go on, then"

"Hyunjin has to leave for work tomorrow, so I'm going over to his place tonight to meet his friends," Felix explained.
