As the night wound down, the apartment settled into a comfortable hum. The chaotic pile of limbs slowly untangled, leaving Felix sprawled out in the center of the room, still red-faced but with a slight smile tugging at his lips. He could feel the warmth of each member fading as they pulled themselves away one by one, but the echo of their playful banter hung in the air.

Felix took a deep breath, inhaling the familiar scents of his trail mates. The tension in his body melted as the laughter died down. Minho was still lounging beside him, one arm draped lazily over the back of the couch, eyes twinkling with mischief. He had a satisfied look on his face, like he had successfully completed some grand mission.

Felix sat up, rubbing at his cheeks as if that would erase the heat that still lingered there. "I can't believe you all," he muttered, though there was no real bite in his voice.

Minho leaned closer, his lips quirking up. "You like it. Don't lie, Lixie." He gave Felix a soft nudge, his fingers grazing over Felix's flushed cheeks in a way that sent a small shiver down his spine.

Felix swatted his hand away half-heartedly, but the flutter in his stomach remained. "Maybe. But you didn't have to do it like that."

From the kitchen, Chan chuckled as he poured water into a glass. "Could've been worse. Minho did it in public with us three before."

Felix's eyes widened, panic creeping in at the thought. "Don't even joke about that, hyung!"

Hyunjin, now fully stretched out with more confidence on the armchair, yawned dramatically. "Well, if Minho doesn't do it, who knows? One of us might."

"Shut up," Felix groaned, sinking further into the couch. His heart was still racing from all the teasing, and the feel of Minho's lips lingered far longer than he cared to admit.

Changbin, never one to miss a chance, hopped back onto the couch beside Felix, gently squeezing Felix's thigh and grinning like he'd won something. "I still think I deserve another makeout session after that date, y'know."

Felix could only blink at him. "You're kidding, right?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Felix quickly scooted away from Changbin, but a smile ghosted his lips as the group settled back into their typical routine. The teasing might never stop, but the comfort that came with it, the warmth of being surrounded by those he trusted the most, outweighed the embarrassment.

Minho's eyes, however, hadn't left Felix. Felix could feel them on him even when the others were joking around. That smug grin of his was still there, but there was something else underneath it. A softness, maybe, or an understanding. It made Felix's heart stutter.

He glanced up at Minho, meeting his gaze. For a brief second, the world around them seemed to dim, the laughter fading into the background. Minho's smirk softened just enough to make Felix's stomach flip all over again.

Before Felix could even process the moment, Jisung broke the silence by plopping himself onto Felix's lap with a dramatic sigh. "I'm never going to get over that," he said, flinging an arm over his eyes as if to shield himself from the memory.

Felix raised an eyebrow, lightly pushing Jisung off him. "You did things like that to me too, idiot."

"Yeah, yeah. Still, Seungmin kissed you first.," Jisung waved him off, rolling onto his back and staring up at the ceiling. "All I know is that was the most dramatic make out session of the century."

Seungmin, who had been sitting quietly at the edge of the couch, finally spoke up. "You're all ridiculous."

Jeongin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, especially Jisung hyung. He's been talking about it for five minutes straight."

Chan returned to the living room, carrying a tray of drinks. "Alright, alright, enough teasing Felix. Give him a break."

The group slowly quieted down, though not without a few lingering chuckles. Felix felt the room return to its usual, more relaxed atmosphere. The teasing might never fully stop, but it wasn't so bad. Not with them.

"Thanks, hyung," Felix said, giving his leader a grateful smile as he took a drink.

Chan smiled back. "Don't mention it."

As the night drew to a close, the group settled into their usual spots. Minho stretched out beside Felix, his hand subtly brushing against Felix's leg, a silent reminder of their earlier kiss. Felix's heart thumped in response, but he kept his cool. He had no doubt that Minho would bring it up again eventually--but for now, things felt right.

And when Minho leaned over, whispering low so only Felix could hear, "I've got an idea for your next birthday present," Felix couldn't help but groan, burying his face in his hands.

Because with Minho, the teasing was never really over.
