Protect me | Lee Felix

Chapter 8

"Thank you all for coming here today. We have an important matter to discuss. It appears that Felix has some kind of stalker as he got this message yesterday" Their manager said and showed the group the piece of paper.

All the Straykids members and their bodyguards had gathered today to discuss if any more safety precautions were necessary.

"We can not go to the police yet, because this message is not a clear threat so we would have no ground to file a report of. So what we need to discuss is if we should strengthen your security measures."

At first the members weren't too happy when they were told that they would maybe get even more security and restrictions but after hearing what happened with Felix, they deemed it necessary.

"We decided that it's for the best now if none of you go out without your respective bodyguards. If we see the possibility threat subsiding we can re-discuss this."

Felix looked over to Lyn who had her eyes locked on their manager. Felix felt weird ever since their shopping trip. Of course on one hand he felt weird because someone gave him a message stating that he was being watched. On the other hand he realised that he never felt scared or uncomfortable, simply because Lyn had been by his side.

It might be a weird timing for him but he realised that he was truly in love with Lyn. It wasn't just simple attraction or a silly crush but Felix felt as if his realisation didn't matter anyway.

"Are you okay? You have been really quiet the whole day" Lyn asked and Felix wondered how out of it he must have been to not realise that she came to stand next to him.

Felix simply nodded and sent her a little smile. The manager announced that they were free to go and before Felix could start walking, Lyn gently pushed him towards the door and motioned him to follow her.

He followed her to Jyp cafe and watched how Lyn ordered two drinks and passed Felix his favourite one. "You didn't have to" Felix muttered but took a sip anyway. "I know but you have been feeling down, understandably. So I wanted to get your mind off, we are going for a walk now."

Felix smiled again, this time genuine, as he followed Lyn out the door, putting on the cap and sunglasses Lyn had apparently packed for him. He felt giddy inside, imagining how Lyn planned all of this just to make him feel better.

"Have you always wanted to become an idol?" Lyn asked once they reached the park and were surrounded by gentle bird chirping.

"Not really. I never really thought of what to do after school but I never really thought of becoming an idol, especially because I had almost no connection to Korea. It was actually a friend who had the idea and I simpl went with it and here I am."

"Let's sit down there" Lyn said, pointing to a bench facing a small lake. "I have never visited Australia but I've heard so many good things so it's been on my bucket list since forever."

"Maybe one day I can show you around. I'm quite the Australia expert" Felix joked but he didn't expect Lyn's answer: "That sounds really nice, I would like that." Felix stared at Lyn as if she said some bad joke:"Are you beeing overly friendly because I have been feeling down?"

"What?" Lyn asked shocked and turned to face Felix, "No of course not. Yes this little walk is to make you feel better but I wouldn't be fake-friendly. I honestly like you Felix, maybe even in a way I am not supposed to, but I do care about you. What happened yesterday was shocking so I want to calm you and get your mind off."

Honestly Felix spaced out after she said that she liked him maybe even in a way I am not supposed to. What does that even mean? Is Felix being delusional again or did she just indirectly confess to him. Did this count as a move by her? What was he supposed to do now? React and confess as well or act like she didn't say anything?

"Felix, are you okay? You are spacing out again."

"No, no, I'm okay. But you said-" "I know what I said but please just ignore it, I shouldn't have, it was unprofessional of me."

"But I liked it. I wanted you to say that for so long. I can't just forget it, why is it apparently so impossible for us?" Felix asked, desperate to get a different kind of reaction from her, desperate to make use of thsi moment.

"Because we work together. It is heavily frowned upon when idols date their staff or are in any kind of too comfortable realtionship at that."

Felix turned around completely and took both of her hands in his, happy that she didn't pull them away again.

"You can't ignore that there has been something between us ever since we met. It has been so hard not to fully act on it all this time. Please Lyn, give us a chance and we will see how things go."

"No matter how things go, we will still be working with each other afterwards, I don't want to risk that."

"But I am ready to risk it and work for it, work for us. Please at least think about it" Felix almost begged, not caring how desperate he sounded. In his opinion he has waited for long enough. Only then did he notice how close to each other they were so he took the chance to admire Lyn up close. He noticed hoe she was kind of breathing heavily but he probably wasn't any better.

"Can I kiss you?"
"Felix..."

Before Felix could say anything else, Lyn leaned forward and kissed him. NOt letting her pull away again, Felix held the back of her head and kissed her back. The kiss didn't last as long as both of them would have wanted but they knew that was for the best for now.

"I will think about it. I promise."

~I will put this story on hold for now and maybe only update once in a while from now on
~I noticed how lately my focus kind of shifted and I can't find the motivation to keep writing and it felt more like a duty than something I enjoyed

~I am really sorry for the ones who wanted to keep reading so if i notice in the next time that I really won't continue with it I will post a chapter of what I had planned for this story (and maybe even what I had in mind for all the other members when I first had the idea to start writing fanfictions)

~I ended this story for now on a kind of happy note so guys at least get a more or less happy ending

~until someday hopefully
