Summary: And then, he suddenly feels it, a quick kiss on his jaw. Jeongin immediately snaps his head to the side. "What?" Felix chuckles, raising his hand to pat Jeongin's hair softly. "I missed my baby so much".

The air hits him warmly in the face. Jeongin sees orange when he closes his eyes.

Car rides in summer are so peaceful. Comforting are blue endless skies and the warmth of the sun and the wind. You're not sweating, not complaining about the heat around you for a moment.

"Be careful, Innie" he hears Felix laugh. Jeongin hums as he opens his eyes again. Next to him is Felix driving their convertible car on the highway. He is wearing these classy black sunglasses, in which his smaller nose pokes out.

He retrieves from the window and sits back properly. Just then Felix takes a turn to exit the highway.

"I'm so excited, hyung" he exclaims, as they take out their tickets before entering the venue. They are about to visit the concert of Jeongin's favourite artist, Felix had surprised him with the tickets a month ago.

"I can tell, you're literally jumping up and down" he smiles as he looks at him. Jeongin feels himself smile too, but it's different from the forced ones he does whenever he meets fans, or other VIPs. With Felix, he smiles naturally and living becomes a feeling he craves.

It was a great concert. The vibes were just right, the crowd engaged so much along the fanchants. Jeongin screamed and cheered his soul out in these two hours, Felix did too. His voice will probably be hoarse tomorrow, but he doesn't care. It's about the moment that he wants to enjoy, because he doesn't want to forget anything really.

The last song hits him differently. It's not sad but it still makes him feel emotional. The realization that everything is over and that he must return home is a little painful.

Jeongins arms sink as his voice stills. He continues to watch the people singing along to the lyrics as the song goes on.

"What's wrong?" he hears Felix say. He turns his head around and sees the freckled man encouraging him to enjoy. A tear rolls down his cheek. Felix makes a twisted face, but it's more out of empathy.

The blonde brings his thumb to his jaw and brushes the wetness away. Jeongin stares, no more tears fall. "It's okay, enjoy the last minutes Innie" he nods to that and faces the stage again. Felix is right, sad feelings can come back afterwards.

And that's how the concert ends. Arm in arm both men walk out of the venue, sharing their favourite moments and songs. Jeongin already misses the euphoria he felt two minutes ago, but he knows that is not gonna be the last time. He squeezes Felix's bicep in reassurance and the latter squeezes back.

He has to fly to Paris, for many scheduled appointments. Jeongin is excited, believe him, but also very nervous. It's always like that whenever he does something important alone. It's like a part of him is missing and doesn't know how to manage himself.
