Felix walks confidently into the JYP building, this time flying solo. Both Hyunjin and Seungmin agreed to join him a little later, but Felix wanted to get in as much practice as possible. He was determined to perfect the dance routine, not wanting to be the reason for any mistakes during their performance. Moreover, he was tasked with adjusting the placements, so getting an early start would be beneficial.

As he signs in and makes his way towards the studio they usually practice in, he hears his name being called out. Turning around, he's met with Chan, who waves him over. Felix reminds himself to stay calm and composed.

"Hi, Chan!" he beams, his eyes forming small crescents as his smile widens. "You're about to go practice, right?" the elder asks as Felix approaches him.

The blonde nods, "Yeah, I'm going to be alone for a while; Seungmin and Hyunjin are super lazy."

Chan chuckles softly, his dimples on full display, and Felix can't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"I see. How are things holding up? I heard from one of the producers that Minho quit," the taller explains, his smile softening into one of sadness.

"Yeah, at first, everything was kind of tough, but we respect Minho's decision, so we're just going to make a few adjustments, and it'll be fine," Felix replies, his ears turning a shade of red from the conversation.

Chan hums, crossing his arms over his muscular chest, making Felix's heart flutter even more.

"How long will you guys be practicing today?" Chan suddenly asks.

The freckled boy becomes giddy, "Uhm, well, I'm not sure-! Did you need something?"

Chan smiles at Felix's enthusiasm, "I was going to see if you wanted to—"

"Yes!" Felix blurts out, realizing too late that he interrupted Chan's sentence. Embarrassed, he quickly adds, "Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt..."

Chan giggles and nods understandingly, "It's okay, Felix."

"Maybe we could go right now if you're not busy! I wouldn't want you to be waiting around for me," the freckled boy suggests.

"Yeah, that's fine by me," Chan agrees.

Eager to spend more time with Chan, Felix wastes no time in dropping his big bags in the dance studio and then returns to Chan, who shows him a more secretive way out of the building to avoid fans and cameras. As they venture off together, Felix can't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness, cherishing the chance to spend some private time with someone he's admired and respected for so long.

Minho woke up from his sleep the day after hanging out with Jisung, a huge smile spreading across his face as he sat in bed, rethinking the moments that had happened. It was all so unbelievable, and Minho still couldn't process it. He had actually kissed Jisung.

Turning to his phone, which was near the edge of his bed, Minho sluggishly crawled over to grab it. He intended to text his friends about the wonderful time he had with Jisung, but an alarming message caught him off guard.

"What the fuck?" he whispered to himself, clicking on the message.

"Stay away from Jisung? Who the hell is this? How did they get my number?"

The message sent a chill down Minho's spine, and his smile faded as he read it again, trying to comprehend its meaning. Who would send such a threatening message, and why did they want him to stay away from Jisung? His mind raced with questions and concerns.

Feeling a sense of unease, Minho quickly checked his blocked list to ensure that the number hadn't somehow slipped through. However, to his dismay, the number wasn't there.
