Symphony of Renewal [A SKZ FF]

Chapter 18: Lines in the Sand

Third Person POV:
Ever since then, Felix and Miya had grown even closer. She had warmed up to him rather quickly, his sunshine-like personality evapoating her icy defenses. The two spent so much time together that they were practically attached at the hip. Miya found herself actually enjoying her time with her freckled groupmate.

The other members also weren't as brutish with her as they usually were. They were conflicted because one of them was now all buddy-buddy with the girl they were supposed to hate.

Right now, they were all currently piled up. Not in the living room as they usual, but in the kitchen this time. Felix and Miya had gone out together, as per their now usual routine, leaving the seven of them home. Where to? The others didn't know. But one thing was for certain. They were definitely not happy.

"I don't get it. Why did he choose her over us?!" Hyunjin whined like a frustrated child, taking a sip of his iced americano. Minho put a hand on his shoulder, silently comforting him. The older didn't really show care through words, but rather through actions.

"I know, right? Maybe she charmed him or something." Seungmin added, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Maybe she did at this point. Or maybe he's just gone soft. Either way, he's still a traitor." Han responds, huffing incredulously.

"He barely even spends time with us anymore." Jeongin mumbles, pouting.

The others nodded in agreement. Truth is, they all missed the freckled ray of sunshine. But they couldn't exactly do something about their predicament, could they? Well, at least not in their eyes.

"Don't be so hard on him, guys." Changbin says, referring to all the previous comments made about Felix. He puts his head on the kitchen table, with his head in his arms.

Chan, who was seated at the head of the kitchen table, felt his features soften. He hated seeing any of the guys unhappy. He also couldn't stand the current rift between them and Felix.

"We have to do something about it. We can't just stand by. Felix is an integral part of our team, after all," he sighs in exasperation as the others all turn to look at him, seeking answers. Being the leader could be stressful sometimes. "What to do, exactly? I'm not sure." He continues, looking down at the table as he saw the others' expressions drop at his words,

Minho, who had been silent this whole time, decided to speak up. "Actually, I have an idea of what we could do, It probably won't be nice for Felix, though." Everyone else's attention shifts to him, as he rubs his hands together and grins deviously.

"Uh oh." Jeongin mutters as they all lean in to hear more about Minho's plan, already knowing that this wasn't going to be good...

Time Skip:
Felix arrives at the dorm, a fond smile on his face. Him and Miya had gone to the studio together earlier that day. The younger had insisted on staying back, having wanted to work on some lyrics. He honestly admired her for it. He had wanted to stay with her, but he was also tired from all the promotions for S-Class and 5-Star.

Entering the dorm, Felix was met with a perplexing sight. His seven other members were all spred out in the living room, suspiciously sweet expressions on their faces. It was like they had been anticipating his arrival.

Felix narrowed his eyes, skeptical. "Okay. Cut the crap. What is this?" He says, unamused.

Hyunjin strides over to him. an oversugary smile on his face. "It's nothing, really. But come, Lix. You'll need to sit down for this." He responds, his tone mellifluous as he beckons Felix to sit on a sofa.

If Felix had been suspicious before, then he was definitely sure that his members were up to no good now. "Uh... okay." He says, unsure.

Once Felix was seated comfortably, with Hyunjin following suit next to him, he looked at the others. He tried to gauge their emotions, but their expressions betrayed none of their true intentions. He let out a sigh, turning to face Hyunjin.

"So, what is it?" He asks. He was worried, but he couldn't deny the fact that he was also a little curious.

"I thought you would never ask." Hyunjin replies, his smile now turning into a smirk.

Meanwhile, Minho muttered under his breath from where he was sitting, making sure Felix couldn't hear him. "Let the fun begin.."
