Attent¡on

⫷4⫸

Felix' heart melts by the adorable chuckles reverberating in the air as he envelopes his little palms over the taller's eyes from behind.

Unlike every other time, when Hyunjin plays such antics in order to get his attention, it's now Felix, the one trying to gain the latter's attention for himself from all the taller's neighbours.

He has been waiting for his colleague to atleast spare him a glance since past ten minutes. However, the taller hasn't acknowledged his presence till yet.

"Good morning to you too Binnie hyung."

The freckled male immediately retracts his hands back, well aware of the fact that his colleague is joking as well. As Hyunjin turns around to face the shorter, he gasps dramatically and acting innocent, speaks up.

"Sorry sorry.. I didn't recognise you. You are The Lee Felix actually. My bad tch tch."

Playing along, Felix nods with a gloomy face and gets what he expected. Hyunjin gives him a warm morning hug while mumbling sorry.

"You know what that means?" Pulling out, Felix asks with a smug expression that is evidently vexing the latter.

Hyunjin shakes his head in denial, making the smirk turn wider for his liking. Felix, keeping his colleague hanging with the unanswered question in mind, drags Hyunjin towards his car and they settle in.

As he is about to start the engine, the taller mumbles in an irritated tone:

"What does that mean? Why do you always act like this? Ask something only aliens can understand and leave it for them to tell me someday.."

A deep laughter echoes in the car as he finds Hyunjin's pissed state amusing. However, he notices that his colleague has deliberately not secured the seatbelt and he knows that the latter won't do it stubbornly.

"Please wear your seatbelt. It's for your safety." He nonetheless tries once.

"Not until you answer the question." As presumed, Hyunjin merely crosses his arms and a cute pout settles on his gorgeous face.

"Okay, okay, pretty boy! I don't respond because... I want to give you some time to think about the answer by yourself. Get this?"

The shorter feels eyes digging holes through his soul as he is looking ahead instead.

"What makes you feel that someone as impatient as me can wait for your 'some time to think'? Also, what makes you think that I'll be satisfied with whatever crap you said and obediently put the seatbelt on?"

"Alright then." Felix, knowing that there's no alternative, faces his colleague with a stern gaze. He leans forward and snickers watching the taller's eyes closing in anticipation.

As much as he wants to tease the male in front by not giving in and backing off, Felix can't help but relent once the sweet smell of strawberries hits his nose from his colleague's tinted, but pouty lips. He hungrily pulls the latter into a much needed kiss, one hand tilting Hyunjin's face by his nape and other sliding down the curve of his slim waist.

Reminding himself that it's just the beginning of their planned holiday, Felix smoothly leans forward until one of his hands is able to reach the seatbelt. While savouring the edible pout, the Aussie manages to sneakily fasten the seatbelt around the taller.

He gives a final bite to the plump bottom lip and pulls out, going back to his original plan of starting the engine. Before his colleague has the chance to react in any way, most probably whine about the deed, Felix raises a distracting question.

"What important ruckus was going on in your neighborhood when I arrived there.. for you to not realise my presence but pay your precious attention there instead?"

"Uhm..that..." He watches the taller, who is rubbing his nape and looking outside the window instead, apparently embarrassed to share.

Albeit he notices, Felix decides not to question his demeanor and wait, while keeping eyes on the road ahead, for the latter to feel comfortable enough to convey.

About after half way ride to their first stop, the Aussie whips his head in the direction of the other, whose hesitation seems to subside and is ultimately speaking:

"A- actually one of my sweet neighbours heard me talking to.. Changbin hyung about leaving to Busan for three months when I was on a call with him while walking in the backyard. And my neighbours are very.. friendly, in a likable way that they treat me so well and love me too much, knowing that I stay alone. That's why, hearing that was a shocking news for them and today morning well...not exaggerating, but gosh they were greeting me and asking about my health and stuff like I'm leaving the city forever. So I had to tell them and fit the fact in everyone's brain that I'm not leaving them permanently."

'No one can help but treat you well and love such a precious soul like you. You deserve everything good in this world.'

Felix laughs out along his colleague as the narration is damn hilarious.

"No wonder drama queen like you got such dramatic neighbours."

"Hey! You sun fried chi-"

Felix internally snickers, feeling proud of himself as he witnesses the effect he has on Hyunjin, when the latter shuts up himself the moment he raises his brows at him.

"Tease me all you want my sweet sugar. But then don't ask for mercy when I'll tease you till my heart's content."

Meeting with mere silence in response, Felix turns his head sideways only to see a cherry red Hyunjin, who's staring at the world out of the window.

Pleased by the reaction, the shorter focuses his gaze back on the road and drives to the desired settled location.
