Felix finished drinking his hot chocolate and Hyunjin went to put the cup in the sink. Felix quickly took out his phone, gasping as he saw that he had more than fifty missed calls from different people and a hundred texts from Han. He sent a quick message to Lee Know saying that he was with Hyunjin.

Lee Know sighed getting the text and told the other's that Felix was okay. Seungmin flopped down on the couch next to Chan who sighed. IN and Changbin proceeded to get snacks from the kitchen while Han screamed. Lee Know looked at Han with a puzzled look, "What?" Han hid his face in the crook of Lee Know's neck and grumbled something.

"Jagiya, what's wrong?" Lee Know asked quietly. Han lifted his face a little and said, "How come everyone has gotten to meet and talk to Hyunjin except me?" Lee Know frowned, "Jeongin and Changbin haven't gotten to meet him yet too."

Han sat up, "Oh, and they are his younger brothers too?!" Lee Know sat up too and said, "We'll meet him. I promise ok? Now it's raining and we know he's ok." Han nodded and sighed.

Meanwhile,

Hyunjin brought a blanket from a nearby closet and wrapped it around Felix, tucking him in warmly. Hyunjin turned on the television and sat beside Felix. Felix was deep in thought when Hyunjin snapped his fingers in front of his face. Felix snapped out of his thoughts and immediately blurted out, "Sorry."

Hyunjin's face scrunched in confusion as he pouted. Felix continued, "I've hurt you both directly and indirectly, I've been a horrible friend and I shouldn't have ghosted you that day." Felix sighed looking down as Hyunjin looked away. Felix whispered as his eyes watered again remembering Lee Know's words, "I didn't mean to hurt you."

Hyunjin said, "Everyone makes mistakes, it's ok. I'm not mad sunshine. I was hurt but, I'm fine now." Felix growled in his deep voice, "It's not okay! You're father used me as blackmail to stay away from you!" Hyunjin's eyebrows scrunch together, "What do you mean?"

Felix closed his eyes trying not to start crying again. He hated crying. He grew up seeing his brother always being strong and never shedding a tear, and somewhere along the way, he had learnt to do the same. Felix breathed in and said, "Your father said that I would be in trouble if Lee Know Hyung or Han or anyone in my family tried to contact you. All this time, we were away from you, because of me."

Hyunjin was frozen in place. One part of him was tearing apart but, Felix was on the verge of tears, and Hyunjin couldn't see that. Hyunjin said, "So... you... here... Lee Know.... I-" Felix said, "Don't worry, Know Hyung said something about sorting things out... We're safe now... or at least, I am."

Both of them sat in silence staring off into space. One's shoulders heavy with guilt, while the other filled with fear.

Hyunjin took Felix's hand and pulled him closer. Felix immediately snuggled up to Hyunjin despite being wrapped up in his blanket. Hyunjin said, "Felix, all of us have been going in circles for so long. I want it to end." Felix looked at him in understanding and sadness, "I know Hyunjinnie." 

They sat in silence for a moment and then Hyunjin put on a fantasy movie. Felix smiled as he relaxed against Hyunjin, Felix really enjoyed fantasy movies.

The sky looked soft and pink and was decorated with warm looking clouds. "Like cotton floating in the air." Hyunjin said as the hawk flew above the clouds in the movie. There were mountains far below, and flowers and greenery that made the land colourful. The flowers were yellows and pink, but as the sun went more towards the horizon, they looked more orange and purple. The atmosphere was cool despite the colours of the sky being warm.

Felix smiled, "You know who those clouds remind me of?" Hyunjin hummed, "Han?" Felix chuckled and shook his head, "Nope." Hyunjin bit his lip in thought, "Yourself?" Felix laughed, "Nope." Hyunjin hummed in thought, although soon his thoughts were on Felix again, "His eyes are so comforting."

Felix snapped his fingers in front of Hyunjin's face, snapping him out of his thoughts. "They remind me of you Cotton Ball." Hyunjin blinked and smiled, Felix was so adorable. Hyunjin said in mock horror, "cotton Ball? Cotton Ball?! Oh my God! Lixie that's what I remind you of? Out of all things possible?" 

Felix chuckled and nodded causing Hyunjin to gasp. "You imposter!" Hyunjin shouted and attacked his Lixie with tickles.Felix laughed his heart out trying to get away from Hyunjin's relentless tickles. In time both of them were on the floor, blanket long gone, and movie long forgotten. Felix tried stopping Hyunjin from tickling him with his hands, and Hyunjin quickly pinned both of Felix's hands above his head on the floor. Felix squired on the floor as Hyunjin hovered on top of him and tickled him with his free hand. 

After a while both of their laughter died down and they breathed heavily. Hyunjin stared into Felix's eyes like he was something precious, because Felix was someone precious. Felix was smiling too, his face lively and happy as his blonde hair lined his face perfectly.

"God why can't I ask him out?" Hyunjin thought to himself admiring the beautiful blonde boy under him. Hyunjin swallowed as Felix stared at Hyunjin's neck because his face made Felix want to groan. Hyunjin's dark hair were swinging low covering the sides of his face making him look super hot. Unfortunately, Hyunjin's neck was equally a bad choice to look at.

Felix gulped to himself suddenly realising the position they were in. Felix's eyes widened and his cheeks turned red feeling both his hands pinned above his head with Hyunjin's left hand, leaving Felix unable to move.

Hyunjin on the other hand, looked unbothered, enjoying the way Felix was squirming beneath him looking shy. "I've got so close to kissing him twice, he always pushes away, does he not want me?" Hyunjin thought and got off of Felix letting him go. Felix immidiately sat up on the couch as Hyunjin still stayed on the floor.

Hyunjin tried, he really did, he didn't want to ruin the mood, but here he was... thinking, "I wouldn't want me too."
