Stuck in the middle (Minlix x Reader)

Chapter 18 - Sneaking around

I leant back against the sink, letting Felix wipe the spilt coffee from my face. I had told him I could do it myself, but he was very insistent. I wasn't going to complain too much, with the way his hand carefully held my jaw, his eyes attentively scanning over my face. Any anger he had in his face before had soon been replaced with concern.

"Are you okay?" He muttered, his voice soft and comforting. He reached up, tucking a strand of hair back behind my ear. I gave him a small nod, and reassuring smile.

"I'm fine Lix... I promise. They're just mean girls." I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his.

"Let me fix your hair." He kissed the top of my head, before allowing me to turn around. His hair was relatively long for a boy, so I'm sure he was pretty good with this kind of stuff. I watched him through the mirror, watching his face full of concentration as he braided my hair. "When are you going to dye it again?"

"I don't know... I was thinking about maybe keeping it all one colour now."

"Really? But you like your coloured hair." He seemed surprised at my response, glancing at my face.

"I know, it's not the end. Just a pause..." I smiled at him, letting my body lean back against his when he tied off the braid. I felt his hand run up the side of my neck, moving to my chin to tilt my head back.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered, leaning down to place a kiss on my lips. I couldn't help the smile plastered on my face, giggling.

Just then, the bathroom door opened and we jumped apart. "It's only me." Leeknow spoke, holding up some clothes. "I got you some clothes, they're all I had here."

"Thanks, Leeknow!" I reached forwards, taking the clothes from him. The two men looked at me expectantly, causing me to pause. "Oh... no way... not here!" I shook my head, walking towards a cubicle and locking the door.

Leeknow and Felix leant against the side of the door, patiently waiting for me to come out. "Not even a peek? I'm wounded." Leeknow teased.

"Don't you trust us? We won't touch, swear it." Felix added, I could almost hear the smile on his face.

"You boys have no self control." I opened the cubicle once I was fully dressed, stood there in a pair of Leeknow's gym shorts and an oversized T-shirt. "Is this.. not going to look weird to the other staff?"

"We can worry about that later.." Felix shrugged. "We'll smuggle you out." He joked, pushing off the side of the stall.

"You look sexy in my clothes." Leeknow winked, before turning and heading to the door. "Okay, Lix, practice is still in session." He commanded, leaving the bathroom.

I looked at Felix, before turning and following the man back to the practice room. The members had already began practicing, but Leeknow made sure to take charge once again.

I continued with my work until it was time to head home, except I did stay longer than expected just to watch the boys finish practice. It was enjoyable, watching them dance and joke around with eachother so comfortably.

Leeknow walked over to me, crouching down as he took my iPad from my hands. "Do you want to come back with us to the dorms for dinner?"

"Huh?" I lifted my head up, looking at him as realisation hit. I slowly nodded, meeting his gaze. "Sure..."

I watched as he put my iPad in my bag, offering out his hand to help me up. He was being extra nice, and I can only imagine it was because of the earlier incident.

I climbed to my feet, before looking up at him. He reached forwards, brushing a strand of hair back behind my ear. "Chan said we should use the back entrance." He muttered, before reaching round and pulling the hood up to cover my face.

I opened my mouth to say something, when I felt someone's arms around me as my feet lifted off the ground, spinning around. Come on! I'm hungry." Felix spoke, before setting me back down. "And it's Channie's night to cook."

"Ew... Lix you're sweating!" I giggled, playfully brushing him off.

Leeknow draped his arm over my shoulder, cocking a brow. "Yea right... Chan will definitely just order take out."

"I don't care... let's go!" Changbin stated "I'm hungry!"

"And I'm ready for a shower." Hyunjin grumbled, wiping his face on a towel.

"I can tell." Han snickered, causing Hyunjin to throw his sweat towel at him.

"Okay, remember y/n can't be seen by anyone!" Chan clarified, grabbing his bag.

We all filed out of the room, heading downstairs to the back entrance. I kept the hood around my face, considering I was still wearing Leeknow's clothes.

We filed into the cars, before taking off to the dorm. Surprisingly, I had never been before. Felix and Leeknow usually hung out at their apartment, or more recently my apartment.
