You had always known that Felix was destined for something bigger than your town in Australia. From the moment you met him in high school, it was clear that there was something special about him. His passion for music, his bright smile, and his contagious energy made him stand out from everyone else.
It all started in your junior year. You were assigned as lab partners in biology class, and while Felix was more interested in drumming rhythms on the desk than paying attention to the lesson, it didn't take long for the two of you to click. Between study sessions that turned into jam sessions and weekend hangouts that stretched late into the night, you fell for him. Hard.
By the time senior year rolled around, you and Felix were inseparable. You spent your days at school together, your evenings exploring local beaches and cafes, and your nights dreaming about the future. But even as you talked about what was next, you always knew that Felix's future would take him far from home.
When Felix got the opportunity to move to Korea to pursue his dream of becoming an idol, you were nothing but supportive. You loved him too much to hold him back, and you knew that this was the chance of a lifetime for him. But that didn't make it any easier when the day came for him to leave.
You stood by his side at the airport, holding his hand tightly as he prepared to board the plane. There were tears in both your eyes, and your heart ached with the thought of being apart, but you knew it was the right thing to do.
"I'll come back to you," Felix had promised, his voice thick with emotion. "No matter what, Y/N. We'll make this work."
And for a while, you did. The first few months were hard, but you kept in touch with late-night video calls and messages sent in the brief moments he wasn't practicing or rehearsing. Felix always made time for you, even when he was exhausted, and you did everything you could to support him from afar. But as the months turned into years, it became harder and harder to maintain the connection.
Stray Kids, debuted, and suddenly his life was a whirlwind of activity—concerts, interviews, tours, and endless practice. The time difference between Australia and Korea made it difficult to find moments when you were both free to talk, and even when you did, there was always the unspoken tension of the distance between you.
The last time you saw Felix in person was almost a year ago when he had a brief break and flew back to Australia to visit you and his family. You spent every possible moment together, trying to make up for lost time, but when he left again, the ache in your heart was even deeper than before.
Now, as you sit in your room staring at the messages on your phone, you can't help but feel the emptiness of the space around you. You miss him more than words can express, and though you try to be strong, there are days when it feels like the distance is too much to bear. It's in one of these moments of longing that you receive a text from Bang Chan. It is as if he can read your thoughts.
