Lee Felix is a fashion and lifestyle influencer with a stable, growing career, yet he has always felt weighed down by others' expectations-whether it's his angelic personality, who he befriends, his emotions, or his limitations and being boxed in. A...
Felix and Han are getting along well, as if they've known each other for ages-something Felix appreciates, especially since Han is Minho's partner. At the end of the day, they walk together to the parking lot to meet their friends.
As they exit the building, Felix confides in Han about Hyunjin's strange behavior. Distracted, he suddenly bumps into someone, his face colliding with the guy's chest hard enough to nearly knock him over. Instinctively, he grabs the guy's waist to steady himself.
Hearing the guy clear his throat, Felix quickly lets go and steps back, his heart racing as he looks up. "Oh wow... he's freaking beautiful," his mind declares.

"I'm so sorry for bumping into you! I wasn't looking where I was going," Felix says, his voice, smooth and confident.
"It's alright, mmm..." the stranger replies, clearly expecting Felix to add his name. "Oh, sorry, I'm Felix," he adds.
"Well, hello, Felix. It's okay... you're most certainly forgiven-if you buy me coffee, that is," the handsome stranger responds, a playful smile forming on his lips.
Felix, exuding his natural allure, steps closer, his confidence undeniable. "Alright, I can only do that if I know your name, sir," he replies, locking eyes with the stranger, his charm radiating.
Han stands to the side, grinning widely, clearly entertained by the exchange.
The man chuckles, clearly taken with Felix's boldness. "Seo-Ham... Park Seo-Ham. It's a pleasure. Number, please, Felix?"
Felix savors the sound of his name coming from Seo-Ham's lips. He takes Seo-Ham's phone, dials his own number, and hands it back. "Nice to meet you, Seo. I'll see you around," he says with a confident smile, turning to rejoin his friends.
Seo watches Felix walk away, admiring him with a lingering gaze, taking in every detail as much as he can. "Seo, huh?... Well, damn," he mutters, biting his lip as he watches Felix walk away.
"What the heck was that?" Han asks, jogging to catch up with Felix. Felix turns and gives him a smirk, saying nothing.
"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, but we're here now," Felix announces with a bright smile. He glances at his friends, who are staring back with curious expressions-especially Hyunjin, who looks... angry? "What?" Felix asks, noting their reactions.
"Uh... nothing, I guess?" Chan replies uncertainly, unsure where to begin. Minho, however, knows exactly where to start and has a myriad of questions, but before he can speak, Felix cuts him off. "Not now, Hyung. Let's go," he says firmly, already walking away. The group exchanges mischievous glances before heading to their respective cars-except for Hyunjin.
Hyunjin lingers for a moment, his gaze locked on Felix as he swallows a thick lump of questions, frustration twisting tightly in his chest. He takes a deep breath, biting down the urge to ask anything. After a tense silence, he finally turns, striding to his car and gripping the wheel with white-knuckled intensity as he drives off.
