FELIX X SKZ OT8

🎅🎄Christmas EveL (Part 3) - Special

Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
'Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On-on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home

Felix wakes up with a loud sigh and sits up on his bed. He rubs his eyes tiredly. Based on the choir, he knows exactly what to expect.
"Where are you? I plan on getting a good night's sleep today," Felix says, looking around his room, but he can't see anyone. He looks at his wall clock and reads 4:56.
"Huh? Did I mishear?" Felix asks himself, wounded, when he doesn't see another ghost in his room. But before he can go back to sleep, he hears an eerie noise coming from his oven. Felix has an old stove in his room so that he doesn't have to heat the whole house at night but just his bedroom.

Felix dares to get up carefully and goes to the stove. As he stands there, he can't see anything strange except the strange noise. Felix finally decides it's just the wind and goes back to his bed. But then he hears a rustling behind him and he stops immediately. The boy slowly turns backwards and there he stands.
A figure dressed entirely in black with a dark purple cape that even goes over his face. Felix can't see anything of the person, but he can guess who it is.
Spirit of the future Christmas? asks Felix, but the boy gets no answer. The ghost just stands there and seems to examine Felix closely.

Felix feels a little uncomfortable. The ghost is at least two heads taller than Felix and his cape cover his entire body and face. Felix can only see some black material peeking out from under the cloak.
When Felix takes a step back out of fear, the ghost raises his hand and points to the right. The ghost opens his palm and a black mist forms in front of his palm. The ghost never loses sight of Felix.
Felix ignores the ghost's gaze and looks at the black mist that has now formed into a tunnel. Then the ghost finally makes a move and walks towards the mist. Felix doesn't want to follow the ghost, but he has no other choice and just follows the ghost.

As the two walk through the tunnel, Felix watches the ghost closely as it moves and it doesn't seem to take any steps. 'Is he floating? That would make him smaller, wouldn't it? Felix wonders, but he knows he wouldn't get any answers from the ghost if he asked him.
At the end of the tunnel, the two seem to end up in a city that Felix has never seen before, or has he?
The city seems strange to him on the one hand, but also familiar on the other. Felix can't decide exactly.
The ghost doesn't stand still for long, but simply floats through one of the houses and Felix follows him. When the two of them get to his house, Felix can see a run-down house that doesn't have a lot of furniture. Felix continues to follow the ghost and they seem to be in some kind of living room. There Felix sees a tattered sofa and an old television.

Where are we? asks Felix, but again Felix doesnt get an answer. Then suddenly someone comes into the living room and sits down on the sofa. Felix can't believe what he sees sitting there in front of him.
Is that me? asks Felix, horrified as he barely recognizes himself. This Felix in front of him is very thin, almost starving. His long blonde hair is now back to its natural brown and short. His face is dirty and his clothes look like those of a homeless person.

Felix switches on the television with a shaking hand and takes a holey blanket to warm himself up a bit. Felix keeps his eyes on the boy in front of him and can hardly believe what he is seeing until he suddenly hears three familiar names coming from the television.'
"Today we welcome Han Jisung, Kim Seungmin and Hwang Hyunjin, who are the co-writers and co-producers of the new hit film 'The Magic of Christmas'," says a reporter and Felix actually sees his three friends standing there.
The three seem to have released a successful film and seem to be doing much better than the future Felix. But why?

"They really did it? After everything I threw at them. I was such a cruel friend to them and only thought about myself. Oh, if only I could get involved in the magic of Christmas again and celebrate Christmas with my friends. How could I be so blind?" sighs the future Felix and now Felix also understands what must have happened. He lost his friends because he made them work at Christmas and continued to treat them badly, even though they were partly responsible for Felix's great success.
How could I be so blind? Felix asks himself quietly and less than a second later Felix is back in his room.
Felix is shocked because the ghost isn't even at his side anymore, but he actually recognized something.

"I have to make up for my mistakes!"

And so Felix spends the whole night finding the perfect gifts for his friends and throwing an incredible Christmas party for them and their families. He sends an invitation to all their families and then invites the boys to his office under false pretenses.
The next morning, the guests arrive at the restaurant around 10 a.m. and Felix makes his way to his office. There he sits down on his chair and waits for his friends to finally arrive. It doesn't take long, because the three of them know that they can't be late or they'll lose their jobs.

Felix, we have everything here- but before Seungmin can continue, Felix interrupts him with a loud bang on the table and suddenly getting up from the chair.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Felix asks annoyed, but the three boys have no idea what Felix could mean and so don't say anything. Today is Christmas, how can you even think about working? Felix asks seriously, but has to suppress a smile. What, but-? Hyunjin asks, but Felix simply waves him off and then takes a large bag from under his office table.
Merry Christmas, says Felix and takes three presents out of the bag and presents them to his friends.
The three of them first look confused at Felix, then at the presents they now hold in their hands and then at their friends next to them.

Are these gifts? Jisung asks.
For us? Hyunjin continues to ask.
From you? Seungmin ends the question and Felix can only nod with a broad and sincere smile.
"I was the worst friend imaginable and I apologize for that from the bottom of my heart. It took a while and I know I still have a long way to go to atone for all my actions, but this is my first step. I hope you accept my apology," Felix says honestly and that only surprises the three of them more.

Felix hasn't apologized to them in a long time or given them any gifts. The three don't hesitate any longer and unpack their presents.
Oh my god, this is the camera Ive wanted for a long time, says Seungmin, holding a new and expensive camera in his hands.
This is the designer bag Ive been eyeing for days, Jisung exclaims happily.
And this is the Art Set with the most diverse Art supllies, Hyunjin exclaims enthusiastically.
"I know even though I've been a huge and selfish ass the last few months, I was still interested in you and since I didn't know what you were getting each other, I picked the most expensive gifts on your wish lists because I'm pretty sure nobody would get it for you. Not trying to imlie anything" defends Felix himself and not a second later he has six arms wrapped around himself.

Thanks Lixie, this is the best gift Ive had in a long time, Jisung says and the other two agree with their friend. Thats not all, says Felix and then drags his friends to his car.
Where are we going, Seungmin asks curiously. And what about work? Hyunjin states.
"Forget about work. I have one last surprise for you," and so Felix drives the three boys to the restaurant where all of the three's families and friends are already waiting excitedly.

Felix gets out of the car first and holds the front door open for his friends, who enter the restaurant feeling nervous, but once inside they are surprised by a loud Chorus shouting 'surprise'. The three boys almost cry when they see their families and friends. They can't believe what they're seeing.
What are you all doing here? Jisung asks, surprised but still overjoyed.'
"Felix sent us all an invitation and we really wanted to see you and look who's here," says Mrs. Han and takes a step to the side and three men, unknown to Felix, appear.

Babe! Hyunjin, Jisung and Seungmin scream at the same time and each fall into the arms of one of the guys. Who are they? asks Felix in surprise.
"Let me introduce Felix, this is my friend Minho, this is Hyunjin's friend Changbin and Seungmin's friend Chan," Jisung introduces the three strangers and Felix bows in greeting. The three strangers also greet Felix happily.

And so the evening ends in a wonderful Christmas miracle for the three friends of Felix.
And if the three strangers seem familiar to Felix, he doesn't say anything.
And if Felix thinks, after a few glasses of whiskey, that he sees the Jeongin from his encounters last night in real life, he doesn't say anything.
And if in the end it was all just a big plan by seven guys, then nobody says anything.

Merry Christmas!!
