Love's Memory ~ Hyunlix

*Hyunjin's POV*

The day had been a whirlwind of activities, as most days were in the world of Stray Kids. We had rehearsals, interviews, and a seemingly endless list of commitments. But that evening was different; it was a rare moment of respite, a chance for us to come together as a group and share a meal, to celebrate our bond beyond the stage.

The restaurant buzzed with energy as we settled into our reserved corner, a place where laughter and camaraderie had become the norm. Felix sat across from me, his eyes sparkling with mischief as we exchanged playful banter, our unspoken connection woven into every word and glance.

We had become experts at keeping our secret hidden in plain sight, our love concealed beneath the smiles and laughter that defined our interactions with the group. To them, we were friends, band-mates, and confidants, but we knew that our relationship was something deeper, something that transcended the bounds of friendship.

The dinner was a celebration, a chance for us to unwind and strengthen the bonds that held us together as Stray Kids. We laughed, shared stories, and savored the simple pleasure of each other's company. It was a reminder of the family we had become—a family born not of blood but of shared dreams and unwavering support.

As the evening drew to a close, Felix and I exchanged a knowing glance, a silent signal that it was time for me to drop him off at the mall. He had some errands to run, and I had a secret project that required my undivided attention—a new single titled "Forever You," an album dedicated to Felix and the love story we had crafted together.

I could see the excitement in his eyes as we settled into the car, the engine purring to life. The night stretched before us, full of possibilities and unspoken promises. Felix leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to my lips, a stolen moment of affection amidst the darkness of the parking lot.

"Hyunjin," he murmured against my lips, his breath warm and sweet, "I'll be back soon. Go work on your masterpiece, and I'll meet you at home later."

I returned his kiss with equal tenderness, my heart swelling with love for this incredible person who had captured my heart. "I'll be waiting for you, Felix"

"Drive safely, Hyunjin." He smiled, that enchanting smile that could light up even the darkest of nights, before he slipped out of the car and into the bustling mall, leaving me with a sense of anticipation and a promise of reunion.

With Felix's destination in mind, I navigated the city's streets, my thoughts already drifting to the project that awaited me at Chan's house. "Forever You" was an album that held profound significance, a musical testament to our love story—a story that deserved to be shared with the world.

As I pulled up to Chan's house, a sense of excitement and anticipation coursed through me. Chan, a fellow member of Stray Kids, had always been supportive of my music endeavors. He understood the importance of "Forever You" and had generously offered his assistance in bringing my creative vision to life.

The studio, tucked away in a quiet corner of his house, was a haven of creativity. It was filled with an array of musical instruments, recording equipment, and a cozy ambiance that fostered inspiration. It was here that I had poured my heart and soul into the creation of "Forever You," a labor of love that would be a testament to the depth of my feelings for Felix.

Chan greeted me with a warm smile, his eyes reflecting the same enthusiasm that bubbled within me. "Hyunjin, I've been waiting for this. 'Forever You' is going to be a masterpiece."

His words were a balm to my soul, reassuring me that I was on the right path. Together, we settled into our creative cocoon, the world outside fading away as we delved into the music that would become the soundtrack of our love.
