Felix Centric One Shots

Tiny Star (TF)

"One little boy. A family he never expected. A love that changed everything."

"Hyunjin-hyung, are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer?"

"I'm good, Jeongin. I can feel the pain meds starting to wear off. If I don't leave now, I'm gonna be limping like an ajusshi tomorrow."

Jeongin laughed softly, handing Hyunjin his hoodie. "Alright. Text us when you get home."

Hyunjin pulled the hoodie over his head carefully. "I will. Don't overwork yourselves, okay?"

"Coming from you?" Jisung teased from across the room.

"Hey, injury or not, I'm still prettier than all of you."

"Debatable," Minho muttered, smirking.

Hyunjin waved them off as he slipped out of the practice room. The evening air was crisp and cool as he walked through the quieter streets. His leg ached, but it was manageable. He just wanted to get home, take his meds, and rest.

Then he heard it.

A soft sniffle.

Hyunjin stopped. Looked around.

Another sniffle. Louder this time.

He turned down a narrow alley next to a convenience store and saw a small bundle of something sitting beside a stack of empty crates. As he stepped closer, the bundle shifted.

It was a child.

A very small, very dirty child.

"Hey... hey, are you okay?" Hyunjin crouched slowly, careful not to scare him.

The little boy blinked up at him, his face streaked with dirt and dried tears. His lips trembled. "Mama?"

Hyunjin's chest tightened. "No, baby... I'm not your mama. Are you hurt?"

The toddler shook his head. "Felix not hurt... tummy hurt."

"Oh god..." Hyunjin glanced around. No adult in sight. Just the boy, alone, clutching a torn hoodie that was way too big for him.

"What's your name?"

"Fewix."

"Felix? That's a pretty name," Hyunjin said gently. "Where's your mama?"

Felix's bottom lip quivered. "Mama go get monies. Mama no come back."

Hyunjin's throat closed.

"You've been out here alone?"

Felix nodded. "Fewix wait... but cold..."

Without thinking, Hyunjin took off his hoodie and wrapped it around the little boy, then carefully lifted him into his arms. He was way too light. His little arms wrapped weakly around Hyunjin's neck.

"It's okay now. I got you."

Felix tucked his head into Hyunjin's shoulder. "You smell nice..."

Hyunjin blinked away the tears burning his eyes. "Let's get you home, baby."

Felix giggled as Hyunjin gently washed the dirt from his face in the bathroom sink.

"Tickles!"

"Sorry, baby, I gotta get all this off. You've got dirt in places I didn't even know you could get dirt in."

Felix beamed at him, splashing the water with his hands.

"Hey, hey, no flooding the bathroom!"

"Fewix is fishy!"
