Hyunjin lifted his phone, the device now meeting Jisung and Seungmin's eye level. Both of them had the same reaction really, but Jisung a more dramatic version as usual. He snatched Hyunjin's 512GB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra right from his fingers and zoomed into the photo Hyunjin was showing as if the phone screen was not already giant enough. The said photo was posted on Felix's private Instagram story, showing a beautiful landscape of the city taken from his bed, but more noteworthy, was the pink-haired boy lying next to him on the bed. The picture only showed the boy's back as he faced the other direction and was taken from Felix's point of view.

A stranger would think that was just another couple posting their lives on social media, but with that baby pink hair, Jisung and Seungmin instinctively knew that was their friend.

"Seungmin are you seeing this? I'm not the only one, right? Buddy, are you fucking seeing what I'm seeing?" Jisung yelled those words, directing them to his best friend standing next to him. His left arm flailed around as he slapped Seungmin's shoulder repeatedly.

Seungmin stood there as utter confusion consumed his being from head to toe. What the actual fuck was going on?

"We can take you guys there. If you want to go, that is." Minho voiced out. He too was shocked that his almost heartless, hate-consumed, non-emotional and nonchalant friend Felix even posted that photo publicly. Minho was familiar with Felix's habit of taking home randoms and ultimately sleeping with them. But he's never before seen Felix actually post any of his one-night stands, so I think it's safe to say, Minho was as confused as Jisung and Seungmin were as of now.

Felix was first to shake himself awake. Events of the earlier morning were the first few thoughts to flood his mind as he noticed someone's arm was draped around his waist from behind, instinctively knowing that it was Jeongin. He lifted the sheets, pleasantly surprised that Jeongin had cleaned them both up after he had passed out due to their intense session together. Felix turned around, his face now inches away from Jeongin's.

He even looks this good asleep...

Felix was distracted by his thoughts as he watched Jeongin snore softly. He reached out his left hand to feel the soft skin of Jeongin's cheek, as he thoroughly observed Jeongin's eyes. Even when they were closed Felix was in awe of how Jeongin's eyes were naturally lifted at the ends giving him prominent fox eyes. In Felix's opinion, they were the sexiest asset Jeongin possessed.

Felix reached over to grab his phone that was charging on his bedside table, frowning when he realised none of his friends texted him to ask where he was.

"And they dare call themselves my best friends."
He whispered under his breath. Jeongin, feeling the movement on the bed, shifted to turn and face the other direction, now turned away from Felix's side of the bed.

Felix, with his phone in hand, quickly snapped a photo of Jeongin's back, along with the large window that overlooked the city skyline in the background.

"Who would've thought he'd be so muscular." Felix let out a snort as he zoomed into Jeongin's defined back in the photo, shocked that this was the same boy who was adorned in a crop top and skirt just a few hours ago. His fingers moved on their own as he opened his Instagram app and proceeded to post the photo on his story, thinking that there would not be any consequences from it. Felix then chucked his phone to the side, throwing his legs over the edge of the bed as he got up to shower.

"WOAH FUCK!"

Felix screamed as he was tugged backwards, falling onto the bed before a heavy weight was dropped onto him. Jeongin had woken up and was now lying on top of the racer, his long limbs hanging off the sides of Felix's body.

"Mmh close the curtains Lix, I don't want to get up yet."

Felix paid no mind to Jeongin's words as he was busy fidgeting, trying to move from the position they were in. He dragged his hands on Jeongin's chest, trying his best to push him off but who was he kidding, Jeongin was not going to move unless he wanted to.

"Jeongin"

"..."

"Jeongin"

"..."

"Ugh seriously Jeongin, move!"

"..."

"...Angel?"

And Jeongin finally lifted his head that was resting on Felix's neck.

"Yes, Felix?"

Felix was the one who kept calling out for Jeongin's attention, but now that he had it, he did not know what to do with it. His body warmed up as the way Jeongin had said his name kept ringing through his ears. Jeongin's eyes meeting his own also made Felix's stomach churn with an unfamiliar nervousness. Felix felt small under Jeongin's intense gaze.

Those damn eyes I swear

"Get off me."
Felix demanded, closing his eyes. He was not sure how much longer he could hold eye contact with Jeongin before he would literally piss himself. He didn't remember Jeongin's gaze having this much impact on him the night before, but god did he want it to stop affecting him so easily.

Jeongin just shook his head, not planning on moving anytime soon as he dove back into Felix's neck inhaling the racer's scent with the intention of falling back asleep.

"Goddamn it Jeongin, I want to showe-"

"FELIX!"
