Who Knew?

Chapter Seventeen

Hyunjin sighed quietly as he opened up the bathroom door, his heart pounding loudly in his chest as he made his way down the hall and towards the living room.

Depending on how Felix acts, it could tell him everything he needs to know on whether Felix actually liked him or if the boy just had a flirty personality.

Hyunjin entered the room with a hesitant smile, halfway expecting Felix to run over and tackle him.

Any nervous feelings quickly turned into confusion when he saw the smaller boy cuddled up in Chan's lap.

He stood in the doorway for a second, watching as Chan ran his fingers through Felix's dark hair.

But didn't Felix like him? Why was he cuddled up with Chan now?

"Oh, Hyunjin! You're finally done!" Chan spoke happily, causing Felix to turn his head and look at Hyunjin.

Hyunjin mentally sighed. Now that Felix noticed that he was there, he was going to jump up and be all clingy again.

Instead, Felix gave Hyunjin a quick smile before turning back to Chan.

Okay, now Hyunjin was more confused than ever.

Felix not only was acting completely normal, but he was being clingy with someone else?

Had he been so worked up over nothing? I guess he was just overthinking Felix's actions...

Maybe Felix was just a naturally flirty person...

While this thought did calm some of his nerves, it was hard to ignore the sinking feeling in his chest.

It was a good thing that Felix didn't like him, right?

Hyunjin watched, almost in a daze, as Felix and Chan stood up, both of them turning to the rest of the group as Chan spoke, "Alright, guys! I set up all of your air mattresses downstairs. We can head down there now if you guys are ready?"

A series of agreements were heard from the group as they all slowly started following Chan downstairs.

Hyunjin stood there silently, watching as they all made their way downstairs.

It wasn't until he felt a smaller hand grab his own hand that he finally snapped out of it.

Hyunjin looked back to see Felix gently holding his hand, smiling at Hyunjin as he spoke, "Ready to sleep?"

It was so simple. He didn't even do anything out of the ordinary.

Maybe it was the way Felix was just softly holding onto his hand. Maybe it was the way Felix's freckles contrasted against the light. Maybe it was because of how small and cuddly he looked in those pajamas. Maybe it was because of Hyunjins overthinking earlier. Or maybe because it was just Felix.

Because in that moment, Hyunjin's heart skipped a beat.

Hyunjin gently nodded his head, allowing Felix to pull him downstairs with the rest of the group.

Once they reached the rest of the group, Felix let go of Hyunjins hand when Chan started talking to him.

"Hey, Felix! I was wondering if you wanted to sleep in my bed with me?" Chan suggested innocently.

Hyunjin furrowed his eyebrows at the thought. Wasn't Felix going to sleep with him, though?

Felix glanced back at Hyunjin before replying, "Why don't you let the youngest sleep with you! I was planning on sharing an air mattress with Hyunjin!"

Hyunjin smiled at Felix's words. Why did he feel so happy?

Chan nodded his head before going to find Jeongin.
