Felix arrived home at two in the morning, making sure not to make a sound that would wake Minho up since the lights in his room were off. Felix had also hoped that Minho wouldn't question him in the morning because he wasn't good at lying, he knew he'd mess up. Having Minho know about his relationship with Hyunjin would lead to misunderstandings yet Felix had a bad gut feeling the moment he entered the apartment.

He felt as if two pairs of eyes were on him, piercing through his skin. Felix wasn't sure what it was, or why he even felt that way. Usually he'd feel the most comfortable in Minho's presence but tonight it felt different. Once Felix crossed the door to Minho's room, the bad feeling grew worse almost as if it was suffocating him. Felix put his hand against his neck to feel his pulse rising by the second.

Felix wasn't sure if he had another one of his episodes or if his body was just in need of rest. He had decided to brush it off and rush inside his room where he chugged down two pills to calm himself down.

Minho couldn't sleep through the night, knowing that his brother wasn't home so he stayed up waiting for his arrival. Felix's intuition was strong, because Minho was watching him from a distance the entire time whilst holding his anger inside upon spotting two hickeys on Felix's neck. This made his suspicions rise higher.

Minho's eye twitched due to his blood pressure rising, and in that moment Felix turned his head around spotting no one. Minho managed to hide in time and made his way inside his room once again.

'What excuse is he gonna have for that piece of art on his neck?' Minho thought, letting out a scoff

Felix had finished his nightly routine and made his way underneath the covers of his bed drifting off to sleep almost immediately due to the pills.

The next morning.

"Felix. Felix! Wake up, we're gonna be late!" Minho said shaking Felix slightly

Felix let out a groan whilst opening his eyes slowly, noticing Minho in front of him. "What time is it?" He asked

"It's 07:00 am, dumbass. Did you forget to turn your alarm on?"

Felix jolted out of bed, "Oh my God, wait! I'll get ready in five minutes!" He said rushing towards the bathroom

Minho sniffled out a laugh at his brother's clumsiness. Not long after Felix ran out of the bathroom, "I'm ready, we can go now!"

Minho smirked, "With that bomb hair style?"

Felix looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

"Lix, your hair is a mess. Here, let me help." Minho said grabbing a comb in his hand

He walked up to Felix, brushing his hair shortly after. "There, that should be good enough."

Felix sighed, "I could've done it myself you know?"

Minho laughed, "Sure. I can tell by the way you walked out of the bathroom with the bomb ass hairstyle."

Felix hit him on the shoulder, "Oh shut up!"

"Let's get to the car now bossy boy." Minho chuckled at the nickname

"Bossy boy?! What even is that?" Felix said a bit louder than usual

"It describes you perfectly younger brother." Minho said patting Felix's head "Now let's go, Jisung is waiting." Minho walked out first

"Jisung?!" Felix yelled, rushing out of the apartment to catch up to Minho

On the other side...

Jisung kept looking at his watch every few seconds while waiting for Minho to pick him up. He was standing at a station near his apartment building, bouncing his foot against the cement. "He told me he'd drive me there, so what's taking him so long? It feels like I live in a whole different city." Jisung groaned out "I really hate waiting."

Jisung checked his watch once again, hearing the sound of a car engine stop nearby. He looked up, hoping it was Minho he'd see but it was just a woman getting out of a car which looked like her boyfriend's but Jisung could be wrong.

Jisung rolled his eyes and looked at his suitcase then at his watch once again. "It's 07:25, God damn it is he driving from New York to get here?!"

Minho spotted Jisung at the station and made his way towards it. Felix was seated in the backseat, since he enjoyed the space it provided him. Minho honked at Jisung noticing the way Jisung's eyes lit up once he spotted the older. Minho gestured Jisung to get inside the car which he did as fast as he could.

"Sorry for the long wait, my broth- I mean Felix overslept so I had to wait for him as well." Minho chuckled nervously

"Don't worry about it, I understand. Though we better hurry up if the CEO is waiting for us." Jisung smiled

"Jisung is right, we'll probably be in big trouble if we don't make it on time." Felix said

Minho looked at Felix through the rearview mirror and nodded before he sped off to the airport. All three of them were quiet through most of the drive until Jisung decided to break the silence-

"Sir, can we turn on some music?" Jisung said looking over at Minho

"Sir?" Felix laughed

"What else should I call him then?" Jisung asked

"Call me however you think is right Jisung." Minho answered giving Felix a playful glare to which Felix laughed at

Moments later Minho turned on some music as Jisung had requested. Jisung smiled and opened the window to get some fresh air inside the car. The winter breeze brushed through his hair locks as Jisung closed his eyes.

In that very moment, Minho turned to look at Jisung his eyes fixated on his smile and features which Minho had never noticed since he never got to see Jisung like this. In his eyes, Jisung had just become the most beautiful person in his life.

"Minho, look! There's a cat laying on the bench!" Jisung said locking eyes with Minho

Minho was still mesmerized to the point that he didn't even hear what Jisung said.

"Are you even listening?" Jisung asked

"Oh, how cute." Minho smiled before looking back at the road

'What's wrong with me all of a sudden?'

At the airport.

"Felix, make sure you don't forget anything on your way inside." Minho said

"Don't worry, I made sure to take everything." Felix smiled

"Let's go find Hyunjin then." Minho said before walking further inside the airport

"There he is!" Felix pointed at Hyunjin who was seated

Minho raised his eyebrow when he saw Felix running towards Hyunjin. 'These two do seem very close.'

Jisung looked over at Minho, patting his back. "We should get going as well."

Hyunjin looked up from his phone, spotting Felix. Hyunjin smiled and stood up offering him a handshake.

Minho and Jisung bowed at Hyunjin which Hyunjin returned and they walked off towards their plane ride.

*

Hyunjin and Felix were seated together behind Minho and Jisung, Felix being already fast asleep while Hyunjin was answering some emails on his phone.

Jisung took out his neck pillow and tried to push his chair down so he could get some sleep though he seemed to be struggling. Minho looked over at Jisung who was basically suffering while trying to push the chair down. "Let me do it for you." He said

Minho got up from his chair resting one of his hands above Jisungs head while his other hand reached to push the chair down. Jisung looked up at Minho his heart skipping a beat upon noticing his unbottened shirt. "There you go." Minho said before sitting down

Jisung was left distraught, unable to process his thoughts. 'Why did my heart just do that?'
