    🌷🌷

   You read about the great loves in so many books and poems, and you believe that one day you'll find that great amazing love.

     Unfortunately even when you think you have one of those great amazing loves, it can be difficult to keep it.

     "Are you okay, Vi?"

    "Yeah, just tired," I answered.

    Two lies in just three words.

    I hummed to myself and watched my dad walk off, probably to check on Felix.

   They both denied that they had a relationship and that they had feelings for each other, but everyone around them knew it was a lie.

  They knew that they loved each other.

  When I was six getting them together was easy, so easy. They loved each other and just couldn't tell each other.

  Now, it was harder, because they were already with each other. Both of them ended up heart broken and they don't want that again, at least Felix didn't.

   "What's going on in that head of yours, Vi?" Felix asked me, as he sat across from me.

    They were acting like parents. Dad couldn't get me to talk so he sent mom over to try and pry information from me.

   "Just tired is all." I shrugged.

    "Not surprised, you didn't sleep much last night; however, I do know there is a little more than just that. What is bothering you?"

    Felix was akin to a mom... at least from what I've seen in stories and shows. They always seem to know more.

   I pressed my lips together, then looked at my phone screen that lit up.

  It was an unconscious action, rolling my eyes when I saw the stupid message from one of my friends, but Felix picked it up.

   "Is someone bothering you?" He asked.

   "No, it was just my friend, going on about some boy she likes," I muttered, swiping away the paragraph long message.

  Felix nodded, "Are you in a bit of a funk about a crush or Julianna?"

    "Please, if I ever had a crush, it would be twenty questions from my dad, a background check from Uncle Yeonjun, and a literature test from Aunt Yeji,"

    Felix chuckled, "They would just want to make sure that whoever it is, is good," he said.

    "They would act like I am getting married the next day," I stated.

    "Mm, I would invite whoever it is to dinner and make your favourite dish and dessert, and if they eat it and answer all your dad's questions, then they have my stamp of approval, bonus points if they offer to help clean up,"

   "Why would you make my favourite dish and dessert?"

  Felix hummed, "Because if they can sit there and eat Jjambbong the way you like it along with your favourite spicy habanero sugar cookies then they must like you a lot," he said, with a small laugh.

   I laughed a little too.

   Felix took a breath, then held my hand, "But for real, Vi, is something bothering you? Did Julianna say something to you?"

    I looked at his hands, smiling a little, when I saw the ring.

    "I just... I was wondering what it would have been like if you were my 'mom' and not Julianna. It would have been different by a lot, but I don't know..."

    Felix hummed, "Well, things would definitely be a lot different..." He chuckled, "Minho would have been very upset, I was only about nineteen when you came into the world and he and your dad had know each other for eight years.

   But also by nineteen I wasn't ready for kid. I would like to think that if it did happen this way I would have been smart about it, but I was jumping through hoops of fire at that age,"

   "What does that mean?" I asked.

   "I was doing stupid things, all thing that maybe later on I will tell you about," he said.

   I hummed.

    "I know that your dad and I aren't together anymore and you are upset with me, but I want to make up for that. Make up for leaving. What I am trying and failing in saying is that even after this hectic book tour I would like to continue to be part of yours and your dad's life again," Felix explained.

    'That was different from the what he said to dad...'

   "Do you still love him?" I questioned.

   Felix pursed his lips and let out a breath, "I guess I am bad at lying,"

   "You hesitated earlier during the interview when you were talking about my dad and how he would make a perfect lover for anyone. The word was there you were having a hard time saying it though,"

    "Yes, I do still love him and it hasn't changed," Felix answered.

     I took a deep breath, "Come over for Christmas and bring habanero cookies,"

  "Your dad will cry if I bring those,"

  "Bring him chocolate chip, he'll love them,"

   Felix smiled, "Okay, deal, I'll bring you Habanero and your dad Chocolate,"

   I smiled at him.

   Maybe this could work out...
