Idol [Lee Felix of Stray Kids]

41. Real Life

Hana—who had Charlie strapped to her chest in her kangaroo carrier since the infant was fast asleep against her mother's chest—and AiDi both turned to look at their parents one final time before they head to their gate.

Avery's as already teary eyed as she watched her children and granddaughter one final time before they fly to South Korea to start their new adventure with Felix and his fellow Stray Kids' members. "You better call us everyday."

"We promise," the siblings replied giving their mother and father a reassuring smile.

"We'll FaceTime everyday until you tell us to stop calling," AiDi said with a grin though he sniffled as tears filled his eyes. Liam smiled and reached over to ruffle his son's hair making the teen grumble about his shoe being ruined but tears streamed down his face before he was pulled into a hug by his dad.

"You'll be okay, adeul," Liam said as he hugged his very emotional son. Avery and Hana smiled at the two men before they also exchanged tearful words and hugs before Hana and AiDi switched to hug the other parent.

"Watch out for each other and always be careful," Liam said after the hugs. The siblings nodded as they pulled back from their parents, "and send us videos and pictures okay?"

"Yes," Hana nodded, "you'll get videos of Charlie every day because I know you'll want to know how she's adjusting to life in South Korea."

With one final hug and kisses to their parents, Hana and AiDi bid their parents farewell before turning and walking towards their gate. Baby Charlie was fast asleep so she was dead to the world but Hana didn't mind it, she wanted her daughter to be as energetic as possible when they reached South Korea and she sees her appa for the first time weeks. Though she and Felix video called every day since the two siblings and baby Charlie had gone back to Australia while he and the rest of stray kids had gone back to South Korea to prepare for the second leg of their maniac tour.

"Shall we record our flight?" AiDi asked as they took their seats to wait for their flight to be called and Hana nodded with a grin as she patted Charlie's back to keep her from waking up due to the bustling noise in the waiting area of the airport. AiDi grabbed his camera and turned it on before focusing it on her, "so tell our lovely viewers how you're feeling?"

"Excited," she replied with a bright smile, "I can't wait to reunite with Felix even if we just saw him a few weeks ago in LA. Being apart from him for even a minute is the worst specially with Charlie wanting to be with her appa."

AiDi nodded camera still rolling even when their flight was called and they grabbed their things before getting in to board their flight. "Charlie is going to be so happy to not only be reunited with dad but with her stray kids uncles too."

"Absolutely!" Hana agreed, her eyes sparkling with joy at the thought of Charlie being welcomed by Felix and the rest of Stray Kids. "I'm sure she'll be a little superstar among them," she said playfully, imagining the boys doting on her daughter.

As they moved through the crowded aisle, AiDi focused the camera on Charlie, who remained blissfully asleep, "looks like she knew we were filming that she turned her face away but that's okay because look at her hair isn't it adorable?"

"She doesn't like getting filmed snoozing," Hana said as they settled into their seats, she also made sure Charlie was secure against her chest. AiDi, with the camera still rolling, leaned in closer. "Let's document this moment, sis. Just think, in just a few hours, we'll be landing in a whole new country!"
