Betting On A Boy // Hyunlix

Together

Three months have passed and I did exactly what I said I was going to do - love Felix and help his family.

After I graduated high school, a few changes have been made. No, he doesn't live in that house anymore. It was a hard decision for him to make, but I only had his best interest in mind. While Rosé decided to stay in the company's dorm, getting closer to a chance at debuting, he's moved in somewhere quite close. That place being my bedroom.

At first, he was highly against the idea. But after some convincing with a lengthy list of pros outweighing cons, he gave in. Because of this, he was able to save up and get his very own car. Now that he doesn't have to worry about paying tons of bills every month, he can finally treat himself just a little. When I say 'a little', that would be because I do most of the treating. He's spoiled, but no one deserves it more than him. But food and clothes aren't where I draw the line. It's well known that I have a hard time controlling myself when it comes to Felix.

Which leads us to where we are now.

Shima Onsen in Japan. It's one of the places that inspired Spirited Away.

Making a plan to come here was one of the first things Felix and I ever did. He freaked out when I surprised him, but he deserves a vacation.

"Oh my god, it's just like the movie!" Felix gasped, looking at the red bridge in front of us. "We have to hold our breath."

"Okay." I smiled fondly, taking his small hand in mine. Seeing him happy is one of the greatest pleasures in life.

"And...go!" We both held our breath while walking across 'just to be safe'.

His pure innocence had never been so prevalent before. I'm sure he feels like he can finally let loose and actually enjoy life for once. I'm just really proud of him.

"It's really pretty here. We need to come back at night too."

"And hold our breath again."

"Yes, baby." I laughed, kissing the top of his head. "We'll hold our breath again."

"Good." He smiled wildly, already excited for our return even though we hadn't left. Actually, it's only been about ten or so minutes since we arrived.

"Come here." I picked him up, allowing him to wrap his legs around my waist, and pressed my lips to his. I recently found out the tingling feeling I'd always get every time we kissed was technically just butterflies in my stomach; meaning I've been in love with him for much longer than I realized. And loving him was the best decision I ever made.

When I first met Felix, never in a million years would I have expected my life to turn out this way. A stupid bet, that's all it was ever supposed to be. Falling in love wasn't allowed to be an option. But my heart knew what was best for me. I'm glad he gave me a second chance. I've done everything to prove to him that this was worth it; hopefully he agrees.

"I love you," Felix said, pressing his forehead to mine, noses brushing against each other's.

"I love you so much, beautiful."

"Thank you...for everything."

"Of course, baby. I told you I'll always take care of you."

"You're too good to me."

"No, absolutely not." I shook my head and then kissed his freckled cheeks. "I don't think I do enough."

"Shut up, I know you're fishing for compliments right now." He smiled, teasing me playfully.

"I'm being dead serious right now. You know I think you deserve the world."

"And that's exactly what you give me." He kissed my lips once more while tucking my hair behind my ears. "You make me happy."

Hearing that always makes me feel so good inside. I've done something right for once in my life. It's even more rewarding because I've tried my best to make it happen.

"Me too." I finally put him down on the ground and kissed the top of his head before taking his hand in mine. "You're the best thing that ever happened to me."

And I bet nothing will ever change my mind.
