Idol [Lee Felix of Stray Kids]

49. Real Life

"So I was thinking," AiDi said as he joined Hana and his niece in the living room of the Stray Kids dorms.

"Yeah and what would that be?" Hana asked with a raised brow as she looked up at him from changing her daughter's diaper make the newly turned one year old kick her little legs as she gave her uncle a toothy smile.

"Do you think the guys would be okay if we filmed our vlog and put a couple videos of them rehearsing before their upcoming tour next week?" AiDi asked her as he held his camera.

Hana chuckled softly as she finished changing Charlie's diaper. "I think they'd love that! They've been working so hard, and it would be nice to show the fans just how dedicated they are. Plus, Charlie might make a cute cameo break during their rehearsal. What do you'd su Charlie? Want to watch appa and your uncles rehearse?"  The little baby girl aquellas and babbled in delight at the mention of seeing her appa sooner than she expected along with her uncles and began to clap her small hands, her bright eyes shining with excitement.

"Okay, okay, we'll go!" AiDi grinned, sweeping up his camera as if it were a magic wand, ready to capture every moment. He crouched down to Charlie's level, his face lighting up with joy. "Are you ready to see Felix and the guys? Maybe they'll let you dance a little!"

Charlie shrieked in delight, reaching out for her uncle and kicking her tiny legs even harder.

Hana laughed, "You better hold onto her tightly! If she gets too excited, she might just run right off!" She stood up, now finding herself in a bit of a playful tug-of-war as she tried to hold onto Charlie while also adjusting the diaper bag that was slung over her shoulder. "Let's go see what the guys are up to! You know they'll be thrilled to have their number one fan in the audience."

"Right, let's head to the practice room!" AiDi said, quickening his pace as he led them down the hall, the sound of music and laughter growing louder as they approached the studio.

As they entered the spacious practice room, they found the Stray Kids members warming up. The atmosphere buzzed with energy. Bang Chan was at the front, leading them through stretches while Han strummed his guitar lightly, already warming up the chords for their upcoming song.

"Hey, look who's here!" Hyunjin called out, spotting Hana, AiDi, and little Charlie. "The unofficial mascot of Stray Kids!"

Charlie giggled when she heard her appa's name mentioned and reached out her tiny arms, trying to get his attention. Felix, who was at the back stretching with Seungmin, quickly turned his head and his eyes lit up.

"Baby! Appa's right here!" he said, rushing over and scooping her up. "Hey there, my little princess!"

"Appa!" Charlie squealed, her chubby cheeks pulling into a joyous smile as she snuggled into Felix's neck.

"Did you come to watch us rehearse?" Felix asked, bouncing her gently, making her giggle again.

Hana smiled as she watched her daughter revel in her father's affection. "We're actually here to ask if we could film a bit for our vlog. AiDi thought it would be a great idea, right?" She turned to her brother, who was adjusting the camera settings.

"Yeah! I thought it'd be a perfect chance to show off the hard work you all have been putting into the second leg of the Maniac Tour," AiDi chimed in, adjusting the angle of the camera to capture the group as a whole.

"Of course! We'd love that!" Changbin said enthusiastically, walking over from the side where he had been practicing his rap lines. "A behind-the-scenes look at the rehearsals will hype everyone up for the concert! Right, guys?"

"Definitely! It'll be great to show the fans what goes into all this," Hyunjin added, doing a little spin as he made his way towards the center where they would be rehearsing.
