Idol [Lee Felix of Stray Kids]

28. Real Life

Hana sighed as she looked at her phone, the text message that AiDi had sent her angered her to no end. How can there be people such as his classmate who willing to and play with people's emotions and laugh about it as if they didn't just hurt someone? Her brother didn't deserve that.....no one deserved that. It's just disgusting and pointless and hurtful.

"Hana?" She blinked and looked up when her name was called to se done of the backup dancers walking over to her. Charlie was strapped securely in her stroller babbling to herself and cooing as she stared at the lights above.

"Yes?" Hana asked the dancer with a smile.

"Is everything alright?" He asked making her furrow her brows in confusion, "I saw you staring at your phone with a frown and wondered if anything had happened."

But before she could answer the doors to the dressing room opened and in walked Stray Kids loud as ever which had the baby in the stroller kicking and squealing in delight upon seeing her APPA who grinned and made a bee line towards Hana and their ten month old baby.

"You were amazing as always," Hana said as Felix unstrapped Charlie from the stroller as the others joined them, "my parents and AiDi said congrats on a successful first show in the US."

"We couldn't have done it with out the most special support we could ask for," Changbin said as he looked at the infant in Felix's arms who grinned at the attention her Stray Kids uncles and APPA were giving her, "and of course you as well Hana. Having you both has been a blessing."

"Hana is something bothering?" Hyunjin asked and Hana blinked and looked up at him.

"Yes, why?" She asked giving him a confused look.

"Well one of the dancers said you looked worried before we came in." Seungmin replied making Felix look at her.

"What happened?" He asked and Hana sighed before retelling the group what AiDi had told her about him wanting to move to South Korea with her after he had heard about her plans to move to be with Felix  and raise Charlie together.

"But it wasn't because of that though," she said as the guys gathered their things before making their way towards the bus. They could hear Stays screaming the closer they got so Felix got handed Charlie's baby blanket to cover her since the baby refused to go back to her mother.

"We'll finish having this conversation in the bus," Bang Chan said and Hana nodded as the guys stopped to give autographs and take photos with their fans while Hana stood back and was even able to take Charlie form Felix for a moment before they were being ushered away to the awaiting bus.

"So what was the reason behind AiDi wanting to move to South Korea if it wasn't because you and Charlie were moving  to be with Felix?" Jeongin asked once they were settled in their  seats and the bus began to move towards their hotel as they had one more show in Newark before they traveled to Chicago.

"He said a classmate of his had asked him out on a date," she replied hoping that AiDi wouldn't be upset with her by revealing the conversation they had moments ago. She quickly sent him a text to ask if it was okay for her to tell the guys. He replied saying that it was fine that she told the group about their conversation. "He was upset because he thought that this boy actually liked but he has overheard him and another classmate talking and laughing about it."

As Hyunjin's message to AiDi flew through the digital airwaves, the rest of Stray Kids sat in tense silence, each lost in their thoughts about the situation unfolding before them. Hana, her heart heavy with concern for her brother, could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on her.

Felix, cradling Charlie in his arms, glanced at Hana with a mix of understanding and determination in his eyes. "We need to make sure AiDi knows we're here for him," he said softly, his voice unwavering.

Changbin, a pillar of strength within the group, placed a reassuring hand on Hana's shoulder. "We'll support AiDi through this, just like we support each other. He's part of our family, and we won't let him face this alone."

Seungmin, usually reserved, spoke up, "It's important that AiDi knows he can trust us and lean on us when he needs to. We'll show him the same care and love that we show each other."

As the bus continued its journey towards their hotel in Newark, the bond between Stray Kids grew even stronger in the face of adversity. The love and support they shared created a shield of protection around them, ready to be extended to AiDi in his time of need.

Hana, grateful for the unwavering support of her friends, felt a sense of relief knowing that they were all in this together. And as the bus rolled on, she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them as a united front, a family bound by loyalty, compassion, and a deep sense of kinship.

The atmosphere on the bus was filled with a mix of emotions - concern for AiDi, determination to support him, and a deep sense of unity among Stray Kids. As the bus rolled on towards their hotel, the city lights flickering past the windows, Hana felt a surge of gratitude for the bond she shared with the group.

Hyunjin's phone buzzed with a response from AiDi, and he quickly read the message. His expression softened as he turned to Hana and said, "AiDi appreciates the support, he knows we're here for him." The tension in the air eased slightly, reassurance washing over the group.

Felix gently rocked Charlie in his arms, a look of gentle determination on his face. "We'll make sure AiDi feels our support, no matter what he's going through. He's family, and family sticks together."

Changbin nodded in agreement, his voice calm yet resolute. "We'll show AiDi that he's not alone, that he has us to lean on. We'll stand by him through this, just like we stand by each other."

Seungmin, usually quiet but perceptive, added, "Let's make sure AiDi knows he can count on us, that we'll be there for him every step of the way. Together, we can help him through this."

As the bus neared their hotel, the energy among Stray Kids shifted towards a sense of solidarity and determination. They were more than just a K-pop group - they were a family, bound by shared experiences and unwavering support for one another.

Hana, watching the group come together to support AiDi, felt a sense of pride in the family they had built. With each passing moment, the connection between them grew stronger, a testament to the power of friendship and love.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Stray Kids prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that as long as they had each other, they could overcome anything. And as the bus finally pulled up to their hotel, they stepped off with a shared determination to stand by AiDi and show him that they were there for him, no matter what.
