FELIX X SKZ OT8

Dreamer - Jeonglix 💚

Felix seems to get lost in his head all the time and dreams of things that he wishs to do someday. Jeongin loves his hyung a lot, but is to scared to confess until the other members tell him to do it and so Jeongin thinks of the best confession date ever...

******

Felix is ​​lying on the floor of the dance studio, out of breath, with his eyes closed. He has just trained for two hours without the members. The others were all busy elsewhere. As always, Chan, Changbin and Jisung are in their studio producing new songs for another upcoming comeback. Seungmin wanted to practice his singing more and Jeongin decided to accompany him. Hyunjin had to go to a photo shoot and Minho is visiting his family... actually his cats. He said he hadn't seen them in ages and definitely had to visit them again, even if it sounded a bit strange to Felix since Minho's family didn't live around the corner and they were in the middle of preparing for a new comeback. But Minho simply ignored Felix's surprise and disappeared from the dance studio, so now only Felix is ​​there.

Felix just lies there and thinks about his homeland, Australia. He misses the beaches and the water. He misses the hot weather and long evening walks through the city of Sydney with his friends. He misses his sisters and parents. He misses his old school friends and their adventures.
Sometimes Felix just stares into the nothingness and thinks about what it would be like if he hadn't become an idol. What he could have experienced or what kind of job he would have done instead. He has already imagined himself in a wide variety of professions. He once thought he was a firefighter and would rescue cats from trees and people from burning houses. Another time he thought about how he would be a dance teacher for children and teach the children the joy of dancing.
Or once he imagined he was a Taekwando master and won countless competitions.

In his daydreaming, Felix was already everything and everywhere. He was in space, in the air or under water.
There is no place he hasn't already seen. But all of that was just in his head. He is a dreamer, nothing more. And as soon as he's back in reality, all the stress is back.
This time too, Felix comes back from his dream world with a long breath. At first he is a little confused and looks around to find out where he is, but when he sees the big mirror in front of him he knows it again. He takes his cell phone out of his pocket and looks at the clock... 7:38 p.m. He's been lying here alone for three hours, daydreaming. That can't be healthy anymore, can it?

Felix just shakes his head and grabs his bag, then goes to the door and turns off all the lights. He puts his Ear Buds in his ears before heading towards the dorm. He even forgot to stop by Chan's studio, he just wanted to go home and take a shower. If Minho were at home today, he would have called him thirty times and asked where Felix was. And in the dorm there would be a lecture about how dangerous it is to walk home alone at night or how irresponsible it is not to tell anyone where he have been. But how could he explain that Felix was in space for three hours in the real world but 30 days in the dream world and discovered new creatures.
Felix has a great imagination, but an even greater feeling of losing time.

It's not always easy with him, especially for his members. They have to make sure that Felix doesn't forget to eat, even if he just had the biggest buffet in his dream. Or that he doesn't show up late for his appointments, even though time doesn't matter in his dream world.
Once in the dorm, he unlocks the door and enters the hallway, but he is surprised at how quiet it is. Normally Jeongin, Seungmin and Hyunjin should be here, but he doesn't hear anyone.
Felix puts down his bag and then goes into the living room, but he doesn't find anyone. There is no one in the kitchen or bathroom either. So all that's left are the bedrooms, but no one can be found there.
“Where are they?” Felix asks himself before taking out his cell phone. He tries Seungmin first, but he doesn’t answer. Then Jeongin, then Hyunjin, but they don’t pick up the phone either. So only Chan remains, since Minho is busy and surely doesn't knows where the three of them are and Jisung and Changbin are with Chan anyway.

So he calls his hyung and after forever beeping he finally picks up.
"Hello Lixie?" Chan asks and Felix sighs in relief.
"Well finally, Hyung. Do you know where Seungmin, Innie and Hyunjin are? I'm in the dorm but I don't see them. Shouldn't they be home by now?" Felix asks worriedly.
“Don’t worry, they’re probably just getting something to eat,” Chan tries to calm the younger man and it works.
"Yes, you're right. Thanks Hyung, then I don't want to bother you any further," says Felix and hangs up.
“Well then,” says Felix and falls onto the couch. But he doesn't know what to do. He hasn't eaten anything yet, maybe that wouldn't be bad. But what if the others bring something for everyone? He can't say no to them. So eating isn't an option, okay. Then taking a shower, yes he does that.

So he gets up and goes to the shower. He locks the door behind him and enjoys a hot, long shower. What he doesn't notice during his shower is how Seungmin, Jeongin, Hyunjin AND Minho sneak into the dorm and prepare something. Then Jisung, Chan and Changbin come in and just deliver something and then disappear again with Minho, Seungmin and Hyunjin. So only Jeongin remains, who looks at his masterpiece and is very satisfied. He really hopes everything goes well. He hides and just waits for Felix to come out of the bathroom.
Which doesn't take long, because after just 5 minutes the door opens and hot steam and a sweet scent come out of the bathroom. And of course a freshly showered Felix.

Felix goes back into the living room, but stops at the door in shock and can't believe his eyes. In front of him lies a picnic blanket with a variety of dishes. Felix goes to the mower and takes a closer look. He sees a basket full of strawberries, a plate with lamington, one with chicken parmigiana and a bowl with french fries. It smells heavenly and Felix tears up. He hasn't had a lamington in ages. He looks around to find someone, but no one is there. As he sits down and hopes that the person responsible will appear immediately, the television suddenly turns on and a video starts playing.

"Innie?"
"Hey Lixie Hyung, I know how much you miss Australia and it's hard to go back right now, so I made a little surprise for you with the help of the other hyungs, but that's not the only reason. I know what a big dreamer you are and that your greatest wish is to fall in love and be with this one person forever. That's why today I want to confess something to you...", then the screen switches to a slideshow of pictures with Felix and Jeongin Moments. Felix starts to cry and has to put his hand over his mouth so as not to make a sound.
“I love you Lixie Hyung,” a voice behind him says and he immediately stands up and turns around.

"Innie..." Felix just whispers when he sees the maknae with a huge bouquet of flowers.
"I love you hyung. And I've been doing it for months but was always afraid to confess it, but when you told me about your biggest dream, I saw my chance and the other hyungs helped me organize this. That's why we all acted like we were busy today, to prepare this," Jeongin says as he stands in front of Felix and pushes the bouquet into his hands.
Felix can't believe it. He is overwhelmed but also very happy.
“Innie... I... it’s beautiful,” he says, looking into Jeongin’s eyes.
"You don't have to love me Hyung, but you should know that I love you and would love to be the man by your side forever. Hyung..." says Jeongin and takes a small box out of his pocket.

“Do you want to be my boyfriend?” he then asks and shows a promise ring.
“Yes,” says Felix and Jeongin is overjoyed. Felix may not have the same feelings as Jeongin yet, but he loves the boy and is very keen to give this relationship a try. Jeongin and Felix have a special bond. They always had that and Felix could see it. He is sure that he can love Jeongin like Jeongin loves Felix. He knows it...
And so the two of them have an incredible date that Felix could never have imagined in his dreams.
