Wish You Back | 2 | Felix

Felix was having the time of his life dancing with his best friend, music thumping so loud and fast, that he could feel it in his chest. He closed his eyes, swaying with Jisung to the beat and laughing hysterically at absolutely nothing in particular.

Unfortunately, Felix was also surrounded by guys who were undressing him and Jisung with their eyes, watching the two dance.

They were pretty good at pushing off most of the guys, but two particular ones seemed to have come with a plan. They came around both Felix and Jisung, snaking their hands around each of their waists, trying to pull them apart by pretending to dance.

By then Felix was already drunk and his energy to react was becoming very low. He tried his best to push that guy off but thankfully Hyunjin was there instantly, pulling the other guy off him roughly. Hyunjin shoved him off toward Minho and grabbed the other guy that Jisung was trying to avoid and yanked him off as well.

Felix stared at Hyunjin, slightly startled by his sudden presence and protection. He couldn't stop the butterflies from fluttering in his body watching Hyunjin looking so angry. It looked like he could barely restrain himself from punching that guy, jaw clenching and nose flaring.

Oh my God, he's so hot...

Is he jealous?

Do I want him to be jealous?

The two jerks seemed to get the hint when Minho looked at them with his classic dead and demonic eyes. The two guys knew, one single move closer to Jisung or Felix, and they would be waking up in the hospital tomorrow morning.

Felix had his arms around Jisung while they continued to dance, much more comfortable now with two bodyguards hovering nearby for them. He glanced at Hyunjin over Jisung's shoulder with hooded and drunken eyes and under the dimmed and flashing lights of the club, Hyunjin looked like he was the savior of the night.

Felix smiled to himself and went back to dancing with his best friend under the watchful eye of his hero, feeling safe and sound.

An hour or so later, all the guys managed to find each other on the dance floor. They were laughing, drinking and having a great time. After hours of drinking, all their internal drama was forgotten for now in their drunken haze in the midst of music.

"Hi," Felix greeted, smiling ear to ear when Hyunjin ended up bumping into him while dancing.

All he could remember was how Hyunjin protected him earlier. The fact that Hyunjin spent most of the night dancing and flirting with other guys, was long forgotten.

"Hey Felix," Hyunjin replied back, smiling and leaning forward. "Are you having fun?" He yelled over the music.

Felix stumbled forward a bit, spilling a few drops of his drink on the floor. "Yes! This place is so much fun!" He answered excitedly.

"Glad you're having a good time." He grinned.

Felix nodded and smiled. "Thanks for earlier," he said, leaning forward to yell into Hyunjin's ear as well over the loud music. "It was really nice of you to watch over us like that." He leaned back and shot Hyunjin his best smile, teeth flashing, nose scrunching.

Hyunjin instinctually reached out and patted him on the head, ruffling his soft blonde hair slightly.

And Felix stared at him with puppy dog eyes filled with adoration, surprised by the action.

He likes me, right?

Hyunjin gulped, seeing Felix's expression. He knew those eyes anywhere. Felix was falling deeper, and he wasn't helping at all. This was the opposite of what he promised he would do.
