You Saved Me

Twenty Three

I left the bathroom then went back to the chairs, curling up against Changbin's side as we waited for the plane.

"Mm, hi, baby." He whispered and I smiled, laying my head on his shoulder.

"Hi, Dwaekki." I said and he grinned, moving to kiss my head.

"You happy to go home?" I looked at Mingi then felt my eyes widen some as I saw Hongjoong laying against his side. I was so sure Seonghwa and Hongjoong would get together.

"When did that happen?!" I found myself asking and the group laughed.

"A year after you left." Seonghwa said and I saw him curled up against Yunho.

"And that?" I asked and he grinned.

"Year and a half." Mingi said and I nodded.

"Are we really all gay?" I laughed, but Hongjoong rolled his eyes.

"Han, San, Wooyoung, Seungmin, Hyunjin, and you are all fully gay! Yeosang is genderfluid, fucks anyone who walks-"

"Hey! I only fuck one guy now!" Yeosang said and I saw Jongho smirk.

"Jongho is newly bi-sexual, Yeosang was his awakening. Yunho is Pansexual, as are Mingi, Lino, and Chan." He said and I frowned.

"I thought you were gay?" I asked Chan, but he shrugged.

"Partial to guys more than girls." He said and I nodded.

"Changbin and Innie are also bi-sexual, Seonghwa is another genderfluid lovely person, and I'm demi-sexual. I didn't even get my first boner for Mingi until almost two years after we'd met." He said and I nodded.

"So, Jongho was straight?"

"When you first met, yes." Seonghwa said and I nodded.

"Binnie, you're bi?" I asked and he hummed.

"Partial to guys, like Chan, but yeah, Angel." He said, not lifting his head from where it was laying on the back of the chair. I knew he was tired, he tended to be after big fights, but I also knew he didn't want to fall asleep until we were safely in the air. In case dad tried to come here.

"I like the hair, Felix." Wooyoung said and I smiled as I lightly touched my hair.

"Thank you." I said and he grinned.

"Have you always had freckles?" Yeosang asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, but I kept them covered the entire time I was at Strickland. Then someone convinced me not to cover them-"

"I am that someone." Changbin said as he put his hand up and we laughed.

"We figured!" Mingi said and I smiled.

"You never answered my question, Felix." Mingi said as I laid my head back on my boyfriend, smiling as I nodded.

"I'm very happy to go home to Seoul." I softly said and he grinned.

"Good." He said then I felt Changbin tense and looked at him, but his eyes were open and he was glaring behind us. I sat up then turned, my throat drying as I saw my mom there with Rachel and Olivia.

"Felix-"

"They're okay." I said and stood.

"Hey." I looked at Changbin as he grabbed my hand, glaring at my mom and sisters.

"I think Mingi's giraffe legs will get to me before they can do anything!" I said and Changbin looked at me then nodded, softly kissing my knuckles.

"We're right here." He said and I nodded, pulling away from him and going to the girls of my family.

"Mom, Rachel, Olivia." I whispered and Olivia hugged me, making me smile.

"Have a safe flight, Felix!" She said and I sighed, hugging my sister tightly.

"Let us know when you get home, okay?" Rachel said and I nodded as she hugged me, Olivia standing to the side. As Rachel moved back, I saw mom nearly crying and felt like crying.

"Felix, baby, I-I am so sorry!" She whispered and hugged me, tears soaking my shoulder. I sighed and held her tightly, closing my eyes as I almost cried.

"I-I should have come to check on you or-"

"Stop, mom! Just stop, it's not your fault!" I said and she let go then wiped her cheeks.

"Can-can I meet him?!" She asked and I nodded, grabbing her hand and pulling her to my friends.

"Guys, my mom, Rachel, and Olivia." I said and mom waved.

"Hi!" Yeosang grinned then I went around, doing the introductions.

"And this is Changbin." I said and mom looked at him, who was giving her a judgmental look.

"He's uh... he's protective." I said and mom nodded.

"And I deserve his hate, Felix." She said, which confused Changbin.

"I know I should have done more, to protect Felix, and I regret I didn't. Thank you, Seo Changbin, for saving my son where I failed." She said and Changbin looked at me, but looked at her and stood.

"Mrs. Lee." He said and she looked at him then he sighed, holding out a bandaged hand for her to shake.

"You did what you could. That gave him enough strength to wait for us, to live long enough for us to come get him." He said and she glanced at me then shook his hand, smiling at him.

"You're right, Changbin!" She said and I smiled, setting my hand on Changbin's arm. Right as I did, I heard our flight then I sighed and looked at mom.

"That's us." I said and mom nodded, letting Changbin go.

"Go, Felix, go back to Seoul!" She said and held my cheeks, smiling at me.

"I couldn't be more proud of you, Felix! You did what I never could! You stood up for yourself!" She said and I beamed as she pulled me down, kissing my head.

"Be safe, sweetie." She whispered on my forehead and I nodded, holding her wrists.

"Angel, we have to go." Changbin said and I nodded.

"Bye!" I whispered to my family then they waved and I took Changbin's hand, letting him pull me to the gate. As we walked, Han came over and bumped me.

"Family isn't all bad." He said and I nodded.

"No, there's some good in my family." I said and he smirked.

"Well, this is it. Hello, Seoul!" He said and I laughed as he bounded towards security.

"How the hell is he so energetic?" Changbin asked and I sighed as he hugged my shoulders, my arm around his waist as we walked.

"He's Han, he's never not energetic." I said and he snorted as we separated to get through security then we went to the first class section of the plane, a gift from Chan's dad.
