Hyunjin sighed in annoyance as he was forced to watch some handsome man flirt with his angel while the younger seemed so blissfully unaware and innocent while laughing at his poor attempts of jokes. It's been going on for too long.

Almost two hours, they've been in the cafe where him and Yongbok met for the first time and Hyunjin was getting bored of listening to the sweet praises and underlying sexual jokes the man presented to his angel with an intention that couldn't have been anything good.

"...yeah, so she broke up with me." The man spoke with a little forced raspy voice that almost drove Hyunjin crazy. It sounded really unnatural and unappealing, he had no idea how could Felix tolerate it for so long.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Did she at least give you a reason?" Hyunjin glanced at the blonde to not seem too suspicious when he could hear the pout in the first part of his sentence. Minho was right, Felix was indeed too precious for his own good.

"She didn't like it when I went out with my friends." Cheating every night with a new girl. Hyunjin huffed in annoyance, rolling his eyes at the men's comment. He did his research, he needed to be sure who Yongbok's meeting isn't a dangerous person after all. Only dangerous thing about this man were his toxic traits which could be prevented of harming the blonde by Hyunjin being close and ready for anything.

"If you still made time for her and your relationship then I don't really see the problem. From what I have now, of course, I can't really judge as I know little to nothing, but I don't think I would mind my partner going out with their friends once in a while." Hyunjin internally cooed at the blonde and his innocent perception of things. He was so clueless to everything and nice to everyone, it was admirable.

"You really are a sunshine, how come you're still single?"

"I don't really like anyone at the moment. Furthermore my brother is a little overprotective over me, he doesn't let me date people he doesn't find good enough for me."

"Such a dick move. It's your life, not his."

"I guess.. I mean I was really angry with him for being this way, when I was younger, but at some point I realized it's just one of his strange ways for expressing how much he cares about me. And he's always right about the people that hit on me or want to ge closer, so I trust him a lot and I care about his opinion." Hyunjin smiled, his heart beating out of his chest at how cute his angel's way of thinking was. He wondered if Minho would approve of him, or if he would approve of the guy Yongbok was talking to at me moment.

He grew more curious as minutes passed and decided on going for it. He took a quick photo of the man and sent it to Jisung hoping he would get a reply back.

"Think he would approve of me?"

"Probably not. He wouldn't like that you smoke."

"You smoke too though."

"I do not! I have once had a drag of cigarette in high school, but that was all."

"Huh, that's weird. You smelled a little of cigarettes."

"No, did I?" The blonde whined, instantly pulling out his perfume to spray it on himself. He never liked the smell of cigarettes.

"Must be the bit of smoked salmon I gave to Minho's cats..." he muttered while putting back the perfume and focusing fully on his friend again. Just as the other started talking again, Felix caught sight of the handsome man sat just a few tables away from them on his right.
