Chasm.| Seo Changbin

Twenty-Eight.

"This is the stupidest thing ever." Felix scoffed. "Did you really have to call our parents to ask them for permission to date Ella? Who the hell does that these days?" Felix shook his head in disbelief. "People meet and date and then looooong years after that they might tell their parents! Why are you so straightforward?"

"Cause that's what I have to do." Changbin shrugged. "That's the right thing. Your parents knew that we lived together and it looks like it would stay that way." He smiled sweetly and looked at Ella who was clinging to his right arm. "It won't be right if after those 'loooooong' years they find out that we are dating and living together while leaving them in the dark all that long. That's the correct order of things." He nodded to himself.

Felix looked at his sister and rolled his eyes then looked at Changbin. "Can you stop being so freaking manly 'cause whatever you say puts her in awe and her eyes shoot hearts out on you and I don't want to see that?"

"Close your eyes then," Stella told her brother. "Or you can leave, it's not like this is your house."

"And it's not yours either!" Felix snapped.

It wasn't hers cause she'd been staying at Changbin's. The day they both confessed and started officially dating, Stella clung to Changbin and refused to go back home. She told him that she was still scared to stay there and that it didn't feel safe anymore and she was thinking of selling that house to get a smaller one. Although he wanted her to go back to her normal life, he couldn't carry himself to push her and found himself softening for her fear. He also felt a little pride that she felt safe with him and in his house.

That day after confessing, they were still trying to grasp their feelings and the new relationship status when the panicked Felix texted Changbin, asking if he had found his sister. And instead of sending him 'I found her.', the puzzled and flustered clumsy Changbin sent him 'I love her'. And that was how Felix was the first to know that his sister had finally had her first relationship ever.

The very following day, Felix learned from his father that Changbin had a video call with them and told them that he was dating his daughter and asked for his permission after promising him he would make sure to keep her safe and secure at all costs and would never hurt her by any means. And that was how Changbin got the permission he wanted to date the girl as he wished. But Felix never understood what Changbin did cause he himself dated multiple times without his parents or his partners' parents knowing about it.

Felix was very happy for his sister cause he knew she had feelings for Changbin for a long time, and he knew that Changbin was a good respectful man so he had no problem with them dating. It just seemed like they were moving so fast. They confessed and started dating on the same day, contacted her parents the next day, and now Stella was staying at his house, refusing to go home. It was too fast in Felix's eyes and he was afraid it might end as fast as it started if they were taking too many steps at a time. But he didn't want his fears to get to his sister who looked genuinely happy for the first time in very long.

So, Felix bit his fears back and looked at his sister who was smiling widely while clinging to her man even more. "You know he's not going anywhere. I mean, look at him. He's double my weight. He won't fly away like a helium balloon or something if you let go of him." He teased his sister.

"No, but he might get snatched away from me," Stella replied. "Don't you know the fan clubs he has or the number of girls swooning over him?"

Felix looked at Changbin's nonchalant face and then back at Stella. "Look at his face! Does he look like a man who could be snatched?"

Stella pulled back a little to look at his face. She smiled even wider and patted his chest. "Good boy, that's how you have to look at other girls." She then paused a little. "Hmm, you can try to scowl a little too." Changbin complied and scowled. That scared Felix and made Stella giggle lovingly at that scowl. "Much better."
