A loud sound wakes up Felix

A loud sound wakes up Felix. He sits up in bed and looks around to find the culprit and smack it.

On the bedside table, he sees Hyunjin's phone that sounds like a firetruck. No, it sounds like at least three firetrucks. He clicks the button on the screen and turns it off.

Next to him, a sleeping beauty Hyunjin peacefully sleeps, completely unbothered.
- Wow, how... how do you sleep through that?

No response.

Five minutes later, the alarm starts again and this time he turns it off and puts it in the drawer.

He lays back completely bewildered with a fact that Hyunjin continues to sleep (!!) throughout it all.

Maybe it was an important alarm and he needs to wake up?
Felix comes closer to Hyunjin and gently caresses his cheek. While the noise did nothing, the touch wakes him up immediately, and he smiles.

- Morning...

- Jin, your alarm went on. Do you have an important meeting or something?

- Mmm... what day is it?

- Saturday.

- I do have something but what? Jisung will call me if it's important.

- Ok. I guess I should go now anyway...

- Will you just stop running away from me? I want you here.

- Huh.. yeah, sure.

- Do you have a place to be now?

- No, no. I can stay.

- Ok, good. Then, stay.
Now lay down and tell me about J from your notebook. - Hyunjin's been waiting to ask this question.

- J? Why... why J?

- I'm just curious. It seems like that is someone special to you.

- Ok, well, there's not much to tell. She's a friend of mine.
We know each other since we were kids. We've used to spend a lot of time together.

- Until you moved to Seoul?

- Yes, that's right.

- How did you decide to leave?

- Aren't you curious today?

- Yes, I am. You know everything about me. And if you don't know something, I'm sure you can find it online somewhere. I know nothing about you, but I really want to know. Is that so bad?

- No, no it's not bad.
Let's see, well, I left because a few bad things happened and that made me leave. I broke up with someone I thought I loved. It was a bad breakup. Then, I couldn't find a job, and... I wanted to see other things than just Australia.

- Does J sometimes come to visit?

- Her name is Jessie. She doesn't visit. But that's a long story.
Do you think Chan and others are still in a living room?

- No, I bet they finally figured out they were not wanted. I don't know what got into them last night!

- Did you tell them anything about us?
I mean, no, of course you didn't. Why would you tell anyone about a one night thing, duh..?

- I told Jisung. I think he wanted to meet you. We don't really meet people outside work, you know.
It's not intentionally like that, we just don't have much free time and we somehow just hang out with other idols or staff members or other people in business.

- I can imagine.
So, ahem... you know, if we are like friend with benefits, I'm ok with that.
I won't tell anyone.

- You don't look like a friend-with-benefits type to me, Felix.

- Maybe I am the type, you don't know...

- I do know. You're not the type.
Ok, confession time.
Don't be angry at me, ok?

- Ook...?

- I read the whole notebook.

- Shit.

- There was nothing bad in it! Why you worry so much? It made me interested in you even before we met. I told you, I really wanted to meet you. I could tell you're a nice person, and also... you're someone who wants love, not "benefits".

- I wish you didn't read it.

- It just pulled me in, I couldn't stop, and I never thought I'd find you.
You made my days brighter, no lie.

- Ok. I'll forgive you, under one condition.

- Which is...?

- We have a third night together.

- I was already counting on that. You're not very good at negotiating.

- Are we like... I don't know... what are we?

- It's whatever you want it to be.

Hyunjin smiles and gets up, leaving Felix happy but worried.
He's head over heels with this guy, completely and utterly crushing on him.
He makes him question things and wonder if, maybe... just maybe... he found his home.

You think we arrived at the end of the story?
No... there's more to come.
Let's just say this was the end of season 1. With the next chapter, we start the season 2.
