Secrets | Felix × Stray Kids ✔️

- 9 -

And just as it was said, it was done.

Even if Seungmin said the meeting was in 10 minutes, his mates came on the rooftop not even 3 minutes after reading it, all of them having different reactions when they saw Seungmin taking a long drag out of his cigarette.

"Yah! What's this about?" Changbin snached Seungmin's cigar, throwing it on the ground and smashing it with his foot, only to find the younger crying.

"Hey, baby... Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Changbin asked, not mad anymore but worried as he leaned over to wipe his mate's tears away, giving him a small peck on the lips and surprisingly, Seungmin kissed back, not complaining about his mate being so affectionate like his usual self.

After the rest of the guys heard the word 'cry' in the same sentance with Seungmin, they all came closer, worry plastered on their faces.

Jeongin approached Seungmin and hugged the alpha from the back, giving his shoulder a little kiss while releasing soft pheromones.

"What happened hyung?" Jeongin pouted as he asked Seungmin, holding him tight as their other mates made their way towards them.

Seungmin sighed and wiped his tears away as he turned around to face his mates, Jeongin still behind him, holding his hyung in a tight embrace.

"It's about Felix hyung. H-he... " Seungmin struggled to find his words, but he found the courage to speak when his members began crooning and purring to calm hin down and, it worked.

"After lunch, I went to the bathroom to wash my face because of the food I ate but, I-I saw Felix hyung staring at himself in the mirror touching his face, especially his freckles, while crying, then h-he sat on the floor, whispering something I couldn't quite hear. When I called for him, he lifted h-his face, he was all pale and his eyes were blood-shoot red from crying. A-and when he saw me, h-he just..." Seungmin sighed, turning his head to the right to place it on Changbin's shoulder while Jeongin was giving him encouraging pats on the back, making Seungmin tear up a bit at the memory. " H-he smiled at me. He smiled at me even though he was in pain, even though he was mentally and physically drained, even though h-he was sick. He just smiled, and I-I got mad at him for it. He ran to the bathroom and threw up, he locked the door so I couldn't come it. He opened it only after I begged for half an hour. I got s-so mad hyung, I got so mad at him for not telling any of us anything, for hurting alone, for thinking that smiling through pain would heal what he feels. I got so so mad, but when I saw his face, I couldn't scream or yell at him, I just h-hugged him while he cried in my arms. He cried like he never cried before. And it made me feel like I need to protect him, even if he is the hyung, I wanted to protect him. It hurt me seeing him hurt all alone, it hurt me thinking what he must be feeling with no family left except for his aunt that's like, at the other side of the world, how alone he's feeling. It hurt me so much that I don't even want to imagine what he feels like." Seungmin said between tiny sobs, his head resting on Changbin's shoulder and his back resting on Jeongin's chest.

After a couple moments of silence, the eldest of the group spoke.
"Where's Felix right now?"

"He should be at the n-nurse, I send him there and told him to either go home, to class or there, so he went there but he could've went home for all I know right now." Seungmin replyed short and on point.

"Okay, I have two things to say right now. First of all," He approached Seungmin and his two other mates, stopping only one foot away from him.

"I don't want you going around smoking when you're sad or stressed anymore. Come to us, even if it's just one of us, talk to someone before messing with your health like that, understand?" Chan asked, wanting to make sure Seungmin understood, pecking his forehead sweetly which the younger alpha did not complain about.

"This applies to the rest of you as well, ok?" The eldest completed, receiving a nod from each of his mates.

"Good. Now, second of all, I'm going to talk to Felix. Now right now, but soon. If he doesn't want to talk and open up to me, I'm gonna have Jeongin or Jisung talk to him since they are also omegas and he can feel more comfortable around them than with me. Now the best thing to do is not sterss him out or put pressure on him, everyone got it?" Chan asked, raising a brow and again, receiving a nod from all of his mates.

After some more hugging, crying here and there and comforting words from eachother, messages to Jisung asking if he and Minho managed to eat anything and if they were fine, someone came with a suggestion that made everyone smile and immediatly lift the sad mood up by a notch.

"Anyone else that wants some ice cream?" Hyunjin asked, making the group chuckle and receiving eager nods from all of his mates.
