Felix Centric One Shots

The Fallen Angel (OT8)

The moon hung low over the dense forest, casting a silvery glow over the earth below. The air was thick with the scent of pine and damp leaves, a stillness settling in the quiet woods. Stray Kids were making their way back to their van after a late-night hike, a rare moment of freedom from their relentless schedules. The sounds of their laughter filled the air, a contrast to the otherwise serene landscape.

"Hyungs, slow down!" Jeongin's voice echoed as he tried to keep up with the group, his breath coming out in light puffs. The others laughed, but their carefree banter was interrupted by a sudden, deafening crash.

Minho stopped in his tracks, his senses sharpened by the unexpected sound. "Did you hear that?"

"It sounded like it came from deeper in the woods," Chan said, eyes narrowing as he scanned the tree-line ahead.

Curiosity piqued, the group exchanged looks, and without a word, they moved as one toward the source of the noise. As they got closer, a strange glow began to filter through the trees, a soft, golden light that flickered as if struggling to stay alive.

When they reached the clearing, they froze.

In the center of the forest, amidst scorched earth and broken branches, lay a figure. His wings, once brilliant and full, now appeared tattered, the feathers burned along the edges. His form shimmered faintly, the glow of his presence dimmer than before. But it was not his wings that captivated them—it was his face. Ethereal, delicate, and framed by platinum blonde hair that shimmered like starlight, the boy lay unconscious, his body curled in on itself as if shielding from the pain of his fall.

"Is he... an angel?" Hyunjin whispered, his wide eyes never leaving the figure.

Changbin knelt beside him, his hand hovering over the boy's fragile form. "He's real... What do we do?"

Chan, ever the leader, stepped forward, his gaze softening as he took in the stranger's broken state. "We help him," he said quietly. "We can't leave him here."

Carefully, they lifted the fallen angel, cradling him with care as they made their way back to the van. None of them spoke, each of them lost in thought. The glowing wings, though dimmed, were unlike anything they had ever seen—burned but beautiful, a testament to a story they had yet to understand.

Felix woke up in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by warmth and the faint scent of lavender. His body ached, a dull, constant pain that throbbed from his back where his wings had once been whole. His eyes fluttered open, revealing a small, cozy living room. Seven faces stared back at him, a mix of curiosity, concern, and something else—something softer.

"Are you okay?" Jisung asked, his voice unusually gentle.

Felix tried to speak, but his voice came out hoarse, barely a whisper. "Where... where am I?"

"You're safe," Seungmin reassured him, stepping forward. "We found you in the forest last night."

Felix blinked, his mind struggling to piece together the fragments of his memory. All he could remember was falling—an endless descent from the heavens, his wings scorched by some unknown force. But why? Why had he been cast out?

"Do you... know what happened?" Jeongin asked cautiously, his voice laced with hesitation.

Felix shook his head slowly, his brows furrowing as he tried to recall. "I don't remember," he admitted softly, his voice tinged with frustration. "I don't remember why I'm here. I only know my name is Felix.

The boys exchanged glances, unsure of how to continue. Chan finally spoke up, his tone calm but firm. "Then we'll help you figure it out. You do not have to do this alone. We are Stray Kids I am Chan, the leader, and this is Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Seungmin, and Jeongin."

A surge of gratitude welled up in Felix's chest. These humans—they did not know him, did not understand the weight of what he was, yet they were willing to help him. The thought was both comforting and terrifying. He could feel the invisible barrier between them, a line he was forbidden to cross, yet... the way they looked at him, the way their presence calmed the storm in his heart, made him wonder how long he could keep himself from falling further.

As the days passed, Felix's strength gradually returned, and with it came the pieces of a past he had tried to keep buried. The weight of his memories was unbearable, but the boys—his boys—had a way of easing the burden, even without knowing what troubled him.

One evening, after a quiet dinner, the group sat in their living room, the warm glow of the lamps creating a cozy atmosphere. Felix had been unusually quiet that night, his mind far away, torn between his duty and the growing bond he shared with them.

"Felix, you okay?" Chan's voice broke through his thoughts, his tone laced with concern. The others turned to look at Felix, sensing something was weighing on him.

Felix's heart tightened. He knew it was time. He couldn't keep this secret any longer. Taking a deep breath, he looked at each of them, his gaze soft but serious.

"There's something I need to tell you," He began, his voice low. "About who I am... and why I'm here."

The room grew silent, the air thick with anticipation. Felix could feel the tension in the room as he gathered the courage to speak.

"I wasn't always like this," he continued, gesturing to his wings, which now lay faded and damaged. "I was... I am a guardian angel. My purpose was to protect and guide humans, to keep them safe and help them find their way. But there was one rule—one rule that I was never supposed to break."

Hyunjin leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. "What rule?"

Felix hesitated, his throat tightening. He knew this next part would change everything. "We were never supposed to get involved. Never supposed to interfere with fate."

"But you did," Minho said quietly, more of a statement than a question.

Felix nodded, his gaze dropping to the floor. "I fell in love with my charges—my humans. I cared about them too much to just stand by and watch." He looked up, his eyes glistening with emotion. "You guys were my charges. All of you."

The room went completely still.

"You... were supposed to be in a bus accident," Felix said softly, his voice trembling as the memory came flooding back. "It wasn't supposed to be fatal, but you would have been hurt—badly. Some of you might never have been able to perform again. I couldn't let that happen. I diverted the accident... I stopped it from happening."

The shock was palpable as the boys processed what Felix had just revealed. Chan's jaw tightened, his protective instincts kicking in, while Seungmin's eyes flickered with understanding.

"You... saved us?" Jeongin's voice was barely above a whisper.

Felix nodded, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "And that's why I fell. Angels aren't allowed to interfere with human lives, especially not like that. I broke the most sacred rule of the celestial realm... and I was cast out because of it."

Hyunjin's brow furrowed, his voice a mix of awe and sadness. "So, you lost everything... for us?"

Felix swallowed hard, his gaze meeting each of theirs in turn. "I couldn't just watch. I couldn't let you suffer when I had the power to stop it. But now... I'm paying the price."

The silence that followed was thick with emotion. The boys exchanged glances, their minds reeling from the revelation.

Chan was the first to speak, his voice firm but filled with gratitude. "You did what you thought was right. You protected us, even if it cost you everything. I... we don't know how to thank you for that."

"You shouldn't have had to choose," Changbin added, his tone protective. "But we're grateful that you did."

Felix's chest tightened as a swell of emotion rushed through him. These humans—the very ones he had been cast out for—were looking at him with nothing but kindness and understanding. He didn't deserve it, not after all he had lost. And yet, they were offering it so freely.

"But Felix," Jisung said, his voice tentative, "what happens now? Can you ever go back to heaven?"

Felix's heart sank. "I don't know. My powers are fading, and I can feel... something coming for me. I may be forced to return, whether I want to or not."

The weight of his words settled heavily over the room, and for the first time, Felix allowed himself to be vulnerable in front of them. He had always been the protector, the guardian, but now, for the first time, he felt like he was the one who needed saving.

"But what if you don't want to go back?" Seungmin asked, his voice steady and serious.

Felix looked at them, his chest tightening as the forbidden feeling rose again—love. He wasn't supposed to love them, wasn't supposed to feel anything beyond his duty. But that line had long since been crossed, and now he was in too deep.

"I want to stay," Felix admitted quietly, his voice barely a whisper. "But I don't know if I can."

Chan stood up, crossing the room to sit beside Felix, placing a hand on his shoulder. "We'll figure it out. Whatever comes, we'll face it together."

Felix looked up, his eyes locking with Chan's, and in that moment, he realized something: maybe he wasn't just their guardian anymore. Maybe they were his too.

One by one, the others joined them, their quiet presence a silent promise. Felix's heart ached with the knowledge that his time with them might be running out, but for now, he let himself believe in their promise. He had risked everything to save them once. Could he risk everything again to stay with them?

The choice loomed over him like a storm, but for the first time since his fall, he didn't feel alone.

The days that followed Felix's confession were bittersweet. The bond between him and the boys grew deeper, but with every passing hour, it became clearer that something was terribly wrong. Felix was weakening. His celestial glow dimmed, his wings barely visible now, and the strength he once had seemed to be draining away.

Late one night, Felix collapsed.

"Felix!" Hyunjin was the first to reach him, panic rising in his voice as he knelt beside the fallen angel. Felix was pale, his breathing shallow, his body trembling as if it could no longer bear the weight of its own existence.

The others rushed to his side, gathering around him in a frenzy of worry. Minho's hands trembled as he tried to check Felix's pulse, but it was faint, almost nonexistent.

"We need to do something!" Jisung's voice cracked, desperation etched across his face. "He's getting worse!"

"I don't know what to do," Chan muttered, his voice low, pained. He was the leader, the one who always had a solution, but now, he was powerless. Watching Felix slip away in front of him was something he couldn't bear.

Felix's eyes fluttered open, barely able to focus on the faces hovering above him. "I'm... sorry," he whispered, his voice weak. "I don't think I have much time left."

"Don't say that!" Changbin's voice was thick with emotion. "We're not losing you!"

But even as Felix tried to reassure them, they all felt it—their angel was fading.

Minho's frustration boiled over. His hands clenched into fists as he looked up, glaring at the heavens with unrestrained fury. "Where are you?!" he yelled into the night. "You can't just let him die like this! Do something! Where are you precious archangels now?"

The air around them grew colder, a sudden shift that made everyone stop. A bright, blinding light appeared in the center of the room, and two imposing figures stepped forward, their wings gleaming in the moonlight. Michael and Gabriel—the archangels themselves—stood before them, their expressions solemn, their presence commanding.

The boys stumbled back in awe, unable to process what was happening. But Minho stood his ground, his eyes blazing with anger. "You're supposed to protect him!" he shouted. "He's one of you! How can you just let him die?"

Michael, his gaze calm but filled with ancient wisdom, stepped forward. "It's not that simple," he said, his voice echoing with authority. "Felix broke the rules. His fate is no longer in our hands."

"He broke the rules to save us," Chan said, his voice steady, though the pain was evident in his eyes. "Isn't that worth something?"

Gabriel's expression softened as he regarded Felix, who lay motionless on the floor. "Felix has made a choice—one that defied the laws of the celestial realm. But we're not without mercy."

Felix stirred at the sound of Gabriel's voice, forcing his eyes open. "What... do you mean?"

Michael stepped closer, his wings casting a soft glow over Felix's weakened form. "We've been sent to offer you a choice, Felix," he said. "You can be restored, fully healed, and returned to your place as an angel. You will regain your powers, your wings... your immortality."

The words hung in the air, but before Felix could respond, Gabriel continued, "Or, you can choose to remain here. With them. As a human."

The boys looked at each other, hearts pounding in their chests. Could Felix really stay?

"But," Gabriel added, his voice now filled with a weight that seemed to bear down on everyone, "if you choose to stay, it will come at a price."

Felix's brow furrowed, confusion and fear clouding his face. "What price?"

"If you stay on Earth, you will be fully human," Michael said, his tone grave. "Your wings will be gone forever. Your powers, your immortality—everything will be stripped away. You will live as they do, vulnerable to time, to death, to all the frailties of humanity."

The room fell silent, the gravity of the situation pressing down on everyone.

"And there is one more condition," Gabriel said, his gaze shifting to the boys, a softness in his eyes. "If you choose to stay, they must love you truly—each of them, with all their hearts and souls. If there is any doubt, any hesitation in their love for you, your life will be forfeit. You will die, and you will not return to the celestial realm."

The boys froze, their minds racing. The stakes were unimaginable. Love Felix fully? With all their hearts and souls? They had never thought about it in such terms. But now, it wasn't just an emotional bond—it was a matter of life and death.

Felix's heart raced as he looked at each of them, fear and hope warring within him. Could he ask that of them? Could he ask them to love him so completely, knowing what it would mean if they faltered?

"I can't ask you to—" Felix began, but Chan cut him off, his voice firm.

"You don't have to ask." Chan's eyes were fierce, filled with determination. "You saved our lives, Felix. You gave up everything for us. We're not letting you go."

"Yeah," Changbin added, his voice steady but emotional. "We're with you. No matter what."

Hyunjin stepped forward, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. "We already love you, Felix. You know that, right?"

"We wouldn't have come this far if we didn't," Seungmin said softly, a rare vulnerability in his voice. "You're one of us."

Jisung's face was a mixture of fear and love, but his voice was steady. "We'll do whatever it takes. We won't lose you."

Jeongin nodded, his youthful face set with a rare seriousness. "We love you, Felix. You saved us... now we'll save you."

Felix's heart swelled, emotions crashing over him like waves. He looked up at Michael and Gabriel, his decision clear.

"I want to stay," Felix said, his voice filled with resolve. "I choose them."

The archangels exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable. After a moment, Michael nodded. "So be it."

With a wave of Gabriel's hand, a golden light surrounded Felix, warm and gentle, and he could feel the last remnants of his celestial power leaving him. His wings, once brilliant and glowing, faded into nothingness, leaving him fully human.

The light dissipated, and Felix lay there, breathing heavily but alive. Fully human. The boys rushed to his side, relief flooding through them as they helped him sit up.

"You're staying," Chan whispered, a smile tugging at his lips.

Felix looked up at them, his heart overflowing with love and gratitude. "I'm staying," he said softly, the weight of the decision lifting from his shoulders.

Michael and Gabriel watched from a distance, their expressions solemn but not without a hint of satisfaction. "Take care of him," Gabriel said, his voice echoing in the room. "His life is now in your hands."

With that, the archangels vanished, leaving Felix and the boys to their new reality.

Felix smiled weakly, surrounded by the people he loved. He had made his choice. And now, for the first time, he wasn't just their protector. He was one of them.

The roar of the crowd was deafening as Stray Kids took to the stage, Felix now fully one of them, performing alongside his bandmates and boyfriends. It had been months since he made the decision to stay on Earth as a human, and though the transition had been difficult, the love and support from the boys had carried him through. He had poured his heart into the music, the energy, and the connection with his newfound family.

The night's concert was electric. Felix felt the rush of the performance, the bright lights, the energy of the crowd. He had never felt more alive. His body moved in sync with the others, the music vibrating through him. But then, something went wrong.

The stage had been soaked from an earlier rainfall, and though they had been careful, the slick surface was dangerous. As they were in the middle of a high-energy dance routine, Jeongin's foot slipped.

It all happened so fast.

Felix saw him fall, heard the sickening crack as Jeongin's head hit the stage, and then chaos. The music stopped abruptly, the crowd gasping in horror. The other members rushed to Jeongin, who lay motionless on the ground. Blood trickled from his head, staining the stage beneath him.

"Jeongin!" Chan's voice was panicked as he knelt beside their youngest member, cradling his head as paramedics rushed onto the stage.

Felix stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest. He could hear the frantic voices around him, but none of it made sense. His mind was racing, trying to process what had just happened. He had saved Jeongin once before—he had saved them all. But now, Jeongin's life hung in the balance, and there was nothing Felix could do.

Hours later, they were all at the hospital, huddled together in a private waiting room. The doctors had placed Jeongin in a medically induced coma, the prognosis grim.

"He... he might not make it," the doctor said quietly, his expression solemn. "There's severe swelling in his brain. We'll do what we can, but I'm sorry—it doesn't look good."

Those words felt like a knife to Felix's heart. The others were devastated—Jisung sobbed into Hyunjin's shoulder, Changbin paced the room in frustration, Chan stared blankly at the floor, his usual calm shattered. Minho sat silently, his face a mask of pain.

Felix, though, couldn't breathe. It was happening again. He had given up everything to protect them once, and now, even as a human, he was powerless to save the one he loved. His eyes stung with tears, and his heart ached with the overwhelming guilt.

In the silence of the hospital hallway, Felix slipped away from the others, his legs carrying him to a secluded corner. He sank to the floor, his head in his hands, and for the first time in months, he looked up to the heavens.

"Please," Felix whispered, his voice breaking. "I know I don't have any right to ask for anything. I gave up my place, my wings... But don't take him. Take me instead. I'll do anything—just let him live. I'd rather die than lose him. Please."

The world seemed to go still. Time slowed, the air heavy with something otherworldly. And then, a brilliant light filled the hallway.

Felix blinked, tears clouding his vision, and there, standing before him, was Gabriel, his wings shimmering with celestial light. The archangel's presence filled the space, both comforting and awe-inspiring.

"You have made a selfless plea, Felix," Gabriel said, his voice a gentle echo in the empty corridor. "Your love for Jeongin, for all of them, is pure and true. God has heard your cry, and He is impressed by your willingness to sacrifice yourself for the one you love."

Felix's breath caught in his throat, hope and fear warring inside him. "Will you save him?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Gabriel smiled softly, his gaze kind. "Yes, Jeongin will live. God has granted your wish."

Felix exhaled a shuddering breath, his heart racing with relief, but Gabriel's expression remained serious.

"There is, however, a condition," Gabriel said gently. "God has seen your heart, Felix, and He has found you to be a selfless, loving human being. But He also sees the potential for more—something far beyond what you've imagined."

Felix's brow furrowed, unsure of what Gabriel meant. "A condition? What do I need to do?"

Gabriel's wings glowed brighter as he spoke. "God wants to bestow upon you the gift of life—a gift only given to women. You, Felix, will have the ability to bear children. And within one year, you are to carry the child of one of your partners. This child will be a blessing to the world, for they will be born from love, a love so pure it transcends all boundaries."

Felix stared in shock, his mind reeling from the weight of Gabriel's words. "A child?" His voice was barely a whisper.

Gabriel nodded. "Yes, Felix. God wishes for you to bring new life into this world, to create a family with the ones you love. The children born to you will carry your love, and they will grow to make the world a better place. This is God's will."

Felix's heart pounded in his chest. He had never imagined something like this—never thought it was possible. And yet, here he was, faced with a divine command. He felt a strange mix of fear and awe, but most of all, he felt the depth of his love for the boys. Could he do this? Could they?

Gabriel's soft gaze reassured him. "This is not a punishment, Felix. It is a gift. A gift born of the love you've shown, the sacrifices you've made. And in return, Jeongin's life will be spared."

Felix looked down at his hands, the weight of the decision settling over him. He thought of Jeongin, lying in that hospital bed, and of the others, waiting anxiously for a miracle. His heart swelled with love for them all. He had given up everything once before, and now, he was being asked to give something new—something greater.

Felix lifted his gaze to Gabriel's, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "If this is what it takes... then I'll do it. I'll carry the child. I'll do anything for them."

Gabriel's smile widened, a light shining in his eyes. "You are a truly remarkable soul, Felix. God's will is done."

With a final nod, Gabriel vanished in a flash of light, leaving Felix alone in the hallway. But he no longer felt alone. Felix placed a hand over his heart, a strange warmth spreading through him.

He knew, without a doubt, that Jeongin would wake. And now, they had a future—a future filled with love, with life, and with a new chapter that none of them had ever imagined.

It was early morning when Felix woke to the soft beeping of the machines in Jeongin's hospital room. The rest of the members were scattered around the room, some asleep in chairs, others curled up in uncomfortable positions, exhausted from the long night of worry. Felix sat closest to Jeongin's bed, his hand wrapped gently around Jeongin's, his heart heavy with the weight of the decision he had made.

As he looked at Jeongin's pale face, still and peaceful, Felix silently prayed that Gabriel's promise would be kept. He had given everything for Jeongin—for all of them—and now, the reality of what he'd done washed over him.

Then, the faintest stir.

Felix's breath caught in his throat as he saw Jeongin's fingers twitch slightly. He leaned forward, his heart racing. "Jeongin?" he whispered, hope blooming in his chest.

Slowly, Jeongin's eyes fluttered open, blinking against the soft light in the room. His gaze focused on Felix, and for a moment, he seemed confused. But then, recognition dawned in his eyes, and a weak smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

"Felix...?" Jeongin's voice was hoarse, barely audible.

Felix let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, tears springing to his eyes. "You're awake," he whispered, his voice trembling with relief. He squeezed Jeongin's hand tightly, unable to contain the overwhelming emotion that surged through him.

The others began to stir at the sound of Jeongin's voice. One by one, they woke, disbelief spreading across their faces as they saw Jeongin awake, alive, and miraculously unharmed.

"Jeongin!" Chan was the first to reach him, his eyes wide with relief and joy. "You're awake. Oh my God, you're okay."

Hyunjin was next, practically collapsing into the bed as he hugged Jeongin tightly, his tears falling freely. "You scared us so much," Hyunjin whispered, his voice breaking. "We thought we'd lost you."

The rest of the boys crowded around the bed, each of them overjoyed, their fear and sorrow replaced by pure, unfiltered happiness. They laughed through their tears, hugging each other, hugging Jeongin, overjoyed by the miracle of his recovery.

Jeongin smiled weakly, overwhelmed by the attention. "I'm... I'm okay," he whispered, though his voice was still fragile.

Felix stayed a little apart, watching the scene unfold with a soft smile on his face. His heart swelled with love as he watched his boyfriends surround Jeongin, the relief in the room palpable. But inside, Felix knew there was something he had to tell them—something that couldn't wait.

When the commotion finally died down and Jeongin drifted back to sleep, still recovering from the ordeal, Felix gathered the others in a quiet corner of the room. His hands shook slightly as he prepared to tell them the truth of what he had done.

"Felix?" Minho asked, noticing the somber look on Felix's face. "What's wrong?"

Felix took a deep breath, his heart heavy with the weight of his words. "I need to tell you all something," he said softly, his eyes darting from one of them to the other. "Last night, when Jeongin's condition wasn't improving, I... I made a deal."

"A deal?" Changbin repeated, his brow furrowing in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Felix swallowed hard, his voice barely above a whisper. "I prayed to the archangels. I begged them to take my life instead of Jeongin's. I was willing to die if it meant that he could live."

The room went silent, the gravity of Felix's words sinking in. The others stared at him, wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the depth of what Felix had offered.

"You what?" Chan asked, his voice quiet, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I couldn't bear the thought of losing him," Felix continued, his voice thick with emotion. "I told Gabriel I'd do anything to save Jeongin, even if it meant giving up my own life. And... God heard me. He spared Jeongin."

A stunned silence filled the room, none of them able to speak. Felix shifted uncomfortably, the weight of their gazes heavy on him. "But there was a condition," he added softly. "In exchange for Jeongin's life, God gave me a task. A year from now, I... I have to be pregnant."

The shock on their faces was immediate.

"Pregnant?" Jisung echoed, disbelief lacing his voice.

Felix nodded, his cheeks flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and determination. "Gabriel said that God wanted us to bring new life into the world—children born from love. They believe that our love is something special, something that can make the world better."

The room was silent again, the weight of Felix's words sinking in. He could see the shock, the confusion, and the awe in their eyes as they processed what he had just said.

"You... you're going to have a child?" Hyunjin asked softly, stepping closer to Felix, his eyes wide with wonder.

"Yes," Felix whispered, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. "But only if we all want it. Only if we're ready. We have one year to decide."

There was a long pause, and Felix's heart raced as he waited for their reactions. But then, Minho was the first to step forward, his expression softening with love. "You were willing to give your life for Jeongin," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "That kind of love... it's everything."

Changbin nodded, a slow smile spreading across his face. "If this is what you want, Felix, we'll do it together. You've already given so much for us."

Hyunjin stepped closer, cupping Felix's face gently. "We all love you, Felix. If this is what it takes... then we'll make it happen."

Chan's eyes were filled with admiration and love as he placed a hand on Felix's shoulder. "We'll have a family," he said softly. "We'll raise our children together."

The others nodded in agreement, each of them stepping closer, surrounding Felix with their warmth and love.

Felix's heart swelled with emotion, tears brimming in his eyes as he realized just how much they loved him—how they were willing to take this step with him, no matter how unexpected or challenging it might be.

"We have one year," Felix whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "One year to make it happen."

And with that, they made a promise—to love, to protect, and to create a future together, one filled with love and new life, born from the selfless sacrifice and the deep bond that connected them all.

Months had passed since Felix's decision, but the joy and excitement that had once filled their lives had been replaced by a haunting sadness. Felix had suffered yet another miscarriage—his third—and this time, it broke something inside him. The hope that had once burned so brightly within him was gone, leaving behind a hollow shell of the vibrant person he had once been.

He no longer smiled, no longer laughed. His once-strong bond with the others had grown fragile, not because they didn't love him—because they loved him too much to watch him suffer. They tried everything to bring him back, surrounding him with affection, doing anything to remind him he wasn't alone, but Felix had retreated into himself.

Now, as he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, the weight of his grief felt suffocating. His body was tired, his spirit broken. The room was quiet, though the others were there, scattered around him, silently holding vigil. Chan sat by his side, gently brushing Felix's hair with trembling hands. Hyunjin curled up next to him, his face buried in the blankets, while Jisung sat on the floor, resting his head against the bed.

Minho, Changbin, Seungmin, and Jeongin stood nearby, watching helplessly, exchanging worried glances. They'd all been so hopeful—so sure that this time, things would be different. But watching Felix fall deeper into his depression was tearing them apart.

Felix felt their presence, but it was distant, like a dream. His heart was heavy with the weight of failure, the crushing belief that he was never meant to have this child—that they were never meant to be parents. And if he couldn't give them what they deserved, what was the point of even trying? He was too tired to keep going, too lost in his despair to find his way back.

Suddenly, the room was filled with a soft, golden light. The air grew warm and comforting, and a figure appeared before them. It was Michael, the archangel, his wings shimmering with divine light. His presence was both commanding and gentle, filling the room with a sense of peace that had long been absent.

The others looked up in surprise, their eyes wide with awe. Felix, however, barely reacted, his gaze unfocused, his mind still lost in the depths of his sorrow.

Michael stepped forward, his gaze softening as he looked at Felix. "Felix," he said, his voice rich with compassion. "You have been through a great trial. Your heart is heavy, and your spirit is broken, but I am here to deliver a message from God."

The others sat up straighter, listening intently, hope flickering in their eyes. Michael's gaze turned to them, his expression serious but kind.

"God has been watching, and He has seen the love you all share—the love you have for Felix, and the love Felix has for all of you. These past months have not been a punishment, but a test."

"A test?" Minho repeated, his voice shaking with the weight of it.

Michael nodded. "A test to see if you truly wanted the gift of life, or if you were merely doing it out of duty, out of a sense of obligation to fulfill a divine command. God needed to know that your desire for this child came from a place of love—not obligation."

The room was silent as Michael continued. "Felix, you have endured much suffering, and the weight of this burden has been almost too much to bear. But through it all, the love you all have for each other has only grown stronger. God has seen this, and He is pleased."

Felix blinked, a tear slipping from the corner of his eye, but he still didn't speak. The others watched Michael intently, their hearts pounding with the possibility of hope.

"Your love has been tested, and you have proven it to be pure and true," Michael said softly. "God has decided that you, Felix, will conceive again—and this time, you will carry the child to term."

Felix's breath caught in his throat, his heart racing at the words. He felt something stir inside him, something long buried beneath layers of despair—hope.

"This child will not just be any child," Michael continued, his voice filled with reverence. "This child will be special, born from love that transcends the earthly and the divine. They will carry within them the light of Heaven and the warmth of your love, and they will be a beacon of hope in this world."

Felix's lips trembled, his body shaking as the words began to sink in. He had given up hope—he had lost all faith in himself, in the future. But now, hearing this, feeling the love of his boyfriends surrounding him, he felt something within him heal, piece by fragile piece.

Chan squeezed Felix's hand tightly, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "Did you hear that, Felix? We're going to have a family," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.

Hyunjin rested his forehead against Felix's shoulder, his tears falling freely. "We're going to have a baby, Felix. A part of all of us."

Jisung wiped his face, sniffling as he added, "We've been with you through everything. We're not going anywhere. We're going to get through this together."

The others nodded in agreement, each of them stepping closer, placing their hands on Felix, silently telling him they were here, that they would never leave him.

Felix's heart swelled with love for them—these men who had stood by him, who had loved him even in his darkest moments. He didn't deserve them, but they had chosen him, time and time again. And now, they were going to have the family they had always dreamed of.

Michael smiled softly, his wings shimmering as he took a step back. "You have been blessed, Felix. Cherish this gift. Love each other as you always have, and know that God is with you, always."

With that, Michael's light grew brighter until it filled the room, and then he was gone, leaving behind a sense of peace and renewed hope.

Felix looked at the faces of his boyfriends, their love for him reflected in their eyes. He couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and he sobbed, finally letting go of the pain and the fear that had consumed him for so long. They gathered around him, holding him close, their warmth and love filling the void that had once been there.

"I'm so scared," Felix whispered, his voice trembling. "What if I fail again?"

"You won't," Chan said gently, his hand cupping Felix's face. "We'll be here with you every step of the way. We'll do this together, just like we always have."

Minho kissed Felix's forehead softly. "We love you, Felix. And no matter what happens, we'll always love you."

Felix nodded, his heart finally accepting their words, their love. He wasn't alone. He never had been. And now, they had a future—a future filled with love, with life, and with the promise of something greater than they could have ever imagined.

Felix rested his head against Hyunjin's shoulder, his tears slowing as a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "We're going to have a family," he whispered, the hope returning to his voice.

"Yes, we are," Jisung said, grinning through his tears. "And that child is going to be so loved."

Felix closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of their love surround him, knowing that, this time, things would be different. This time, he would carry the child to term. This time, they would become the family they had always dreamed of.

And this time, nothing could take that away.

Felix hadn't been feeling right for the past couple of weeks. His body felt different, his emotions unpredictable, and the exhaustion that gripped him seemed endless. Every morning brought waves of nausea, and even though the others assured him it was probably just stress or fatigue, something deep inside told Felix it was more than that.

That morning, after everyone had left to grab dinner and some surprises to cheer him up, Felix found himself unable to wait any longer. He needed to know. He had slipped out of the house, heart pounding, and purchased twelve pregnancy tests. It felt excessive, maybe even a little ridiculous, but after everything he had been through, Felix needed certainty—proof that his body had finally given him the miracle they had all hoped for.

Back at the house, Felix sat alone in the bathroom, his hands trembling as he unwrapped the tests and lined them up neatly on the counter. One by one, he took them, placing each on the edge of the sink. Minutes passed, but to Felix, they felt like hours. The silence in the house was deafening, his breath shallow as he waited for the results to appear.

Then, they did.

Positive.

All of them.

Felix stared at the small, digital displays, his heart thudding in his chest. His breath caught in his throat, tears welling up in his eyes as the realization hit him. He was pregnant. It was real this time. A sob escaped his lips, and he dropped down onto the floor, clutching the nearest test in his shaking hands. He felt everything and nothing all at once—a tidal wave of emotions that left him stunned.

He didn't move for what felt like hours. He didn't even hear the front door open or the voices of his boyfriends as they called out to him, laughter and warmth in their tones.

"Felix?" Chan's voice rang through the house, concern lacing his words when Felix didn't answer. The others followed him in, each carrying bags of food and little surprises, things meant to make Felix smile after so many difficult days.

Hyunjin was the first to notice something was off. "Where is he?" he asked, setting down the bags quickly, his brow furrowed in worry.

"He's probably resting," Minho said, but even his voice carried a hint of doubt as they all started searching the house.

It didn't take long for them to find him. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, and when they pushed it open, they found Felix sitting on the floor by the bed, his back against the wall, holding a pregnancy test in his hand. His face was streaked with tears, and his eyes stared forward, distant and lost in a trance.

"Felix!" Jisung rushed forward, kneeling in front of him, his hands hovering uncertainly before he touched Felix's arm gently. "What's wrong? What happened?"

Felix blinked, as if coming out of a dream, and slowly lifted his head to meet their eyes. His lips quivered, more tears spilling down his cheeks as he clutched the test tighter.

"I'm pregnant," he whispered, his voice shaking. "All of them... all twelve tests. They're all positive."

The room went completely still.

For a moment, the words hung in the air, too surreal for any of them to grasp. Felix watched them, his teary eyes searching their faces, unsure of how they would react. His heart was racing, every nerve in his body on edge, terrified that somehow this dream could still shatter.

Then, all at once, the silence broke.

"Felix..." Chan breathed, his voice barely more than a whisper as he knelt down beside him. "You're pregnant?"

Felix nodded slowly, tears still streaming down his face. "It's real this time, Chan. I—I don't know how to explain it. I just... I just had to know."

Changbin dropped down beside him, his face a mixture of disbelief and joy. "Twelve tests?" he asked with a shaky laugh, brushing a thumb across Felix's wet cheek. "You really wanted to be sure, huh?"

Felix let out a watery laugh, nodding. "I couldn't believe it... I still can't. After everything..."

Hyunjin moved closer, wrapping his arms around Felix from behind, his own eyes brimming with tears. "It's happening," he whispered, kissing the top of Felix's head. "This is really happening."

Jisung's grin broke into full-blown joy as he hugged Felix tightly. "We're going to have a baby," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "Felix, this is amazing!"

Seungmin, Minho, and Jeongin joined them, creating a circle around Felix, each of them laughing, crying, and holding him in their arms. They took the pregnancy tests from his hands, examining them as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing, but the smiles on their faces told Felix everything he needed to know.

Chan cupped Felix's face in his hands, leaning in so their foreheads touched. "You did it, Felix," he said softly, his voice filled with awe. "You're going to be an incredible parent. We all will. This child... they're a gift, a miracle."

Felix nodded, his heart soaring with relief and joy as he leaned into Chan's touch. "I couldn't have done it without all of you," he whispered, his voice thick with gratitude. "We did this together."

"We'll keep doing it together," Minho said firmly, his hand resting on Felix's shoulder. "Every step of the way."

Jeongin smiled, his eyes soft as he gazed at Felix. "We're going to be a family. A real family."

As they all held Felix close, Felix finally allowed himself to believe it—to believe that this time, it would be different. This time, they would have the future they had dreamed of. And surrounded by the love of his boyfriends, Felix knew he had everything he needed to carry this new life within him, knowing that their love would guide him every step of the way.

Six months had passed since Felix first found out he was pregnant, and the months had brought with them a whirlwind of emotions, cravings, and physical changes that kept the members of Stray Kids on their toes. Each day, they adjusted to Felix's needs, no matter how strange or sudden they seemed. His mood swings, though unexpected and intense, became a regular part of their lives.

Felix had become an emotional rollercoaster, and the Stray Kids were doing everything in their power to support him through it. He could go from laughing joyfully one minute to bursting into tears the next. It wasn't uncommon for him to be curled up on the couch, a comforting bowl of his favorite snacks in hand, when the sudden onset of frustration would strike, and before anyone could react, his emotions would shift again to happiness or playfulness.

It was a late afternoon when Felix's mood took another unexpected turn. The guys were gathered in the living room, relaxing after a long day of rehearsals. Felix had been in a particularly joyful mood, giggling at some joke Jisung had made, but within seconds, his eyes became glassy, and his lips trembled.

"I'm so sorry," Felix said, his voice small and vulnerable. "I just—I don't know what's happening to me."

"You're pregnant, baby," Chan said gently, sitting next to him on the couch. "It's okay. Whatever you need, we're here."

Felix looked up at him, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "I feel so crazy sometimes," he whispered. "Like I'm all over the place."

Minho, who had been quietly observing from across the room, walked over and knelt in front of Felix. "You're not crazy, Felix. You're carrying a little life inside you. Your body's going through so many changes, it's normal to feel like this."

Felix nodded but still looked uncertain, tears slipping down his cheeks. His emotions seemed to have no warning—no explanation.

"I'm sorry for being so... dramatic," Felix added, his voice shaky.

"No need to apologize," Seungmin said firmly, sitting beside him. "You're going through a lot right now, and we love you no matter what."

Before Felix could respond, he felt an overwhelming sense of hunger hit him like a tidal wave. He gasped and turned to the others, eyes wide. "I need... pickles and peanut butter. Now."

The others exchanged a look, but it was one of understanding, not surprise. They had learned to just roll with the cravings, no matter how odd they seemed.

"Pickles and peanut butter?" Changbin asked, grinning as he stood. "Alright, I'll make it happen."

"I'll join you," Jisung said, already bouncing up from his seat. "And maybe some ice cream? Just to be safe."

"I'll help," Hyunjin added. "We should also grab some chips in case he wants a crunch."

As they moved to the kitchen, Felix looked at them in awe. "You guys really... get me."

"We always will," Jeongin said softly from the doorway, his smile gentle. "It's what we're here for."

Meanwhile, Chan reached for Felix's hand, squeezing it gently. "Hey, don't worry about anything. We've got this. You just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby."

Felix smiled through his tears, the overwhelming support from his boyfriends comforting him. "Thank you," he whispered.

The guys returned quickly, setting up a little snack spread for Felix. As they all gathered around him, sitting close on the couch, they began to talk to Felix's belly—something they had all grown accustomed to in these past six months.

Changbin, holding a pickle in one hand and a spoonful of peanut butter in the other, leaned in and gently placed his hand on Felix's stomach. "Hey, little one. Your dad's crazy, but we love him," he said with a wink, and Felix laughed softly, the tension in his body easing.

Jisung poked Felix's belly playfully. "I hope you like peanut butter, because this is the fourth time he's asked for it in a week," he teased, his eyes sparkling with humor.

Hyunjin, who had been drawing in his sketchbook nearby, paused to join in. He placed his hand on Felix's belly, whispering in a soothing voice, "We can't wait to meet you, little one. You're already so loved."

Seungmin rested his head on Felix's shoulder, his hand also on his belly. "We're all here for you, baby. And no matter how crazy your dad gets, we've got your back."

Felix's heart swelled with love and gratitude as he listened to his boyfriends. They had become a family in every sense of the word, and the way they embraced every part of him—even his cravings and his unpredictable emotions—was a testament to how deep their bond had grown.

"Thank you," Felix said softly, a tear slipping down his cheek, but this time it wasn't from sadness. It was from overwhelming love. "I don't know what I'd do without you guys. You've been my strength."

Minho, who had been silent until then, placed his hand on Felix's knee. "We'll always be here for you, Felix. You don't ever have to go through this alone."

Felix looked around at each of them, the love and support in their eyes making his heart flutter. "I love you all so much," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

"And we love you, Felix," Chan responded, smiling brightly as he leaned in to kiss Felix's forehead. "More than you'll ever know."

And so, with their hands on his belly and their words of love filling the room, the Stray Kids band became more than just a group of friends—they were a family, bound not only by their music, but by their unconditional love for each other. As Felix's belly grew round with their child, so too did their bond, growing stronger with every day that passed.

Felix jolted awake in the middle of the night, his body shivering slightly as a sudden, sharp pain tore through him. He blinked in the darkness, breathing heavily as the feeling of something wet trickling down his legs registered. For a moment, panic washed over him, but then reality clicked—his water had broken.

Another contraction hit, this one stronger than the last, and Felix let out a small gasp, his hands gripping the blanket tightly. He knew it was time. Today was the day they had all been waiting for.

With trembling hands, Felix reached out to gently shake Chan, who was sleeping beside him. "Chan... Chan, wake up," Felix whispered, his voice strained.

Chan groaned and blinked sleepily at him, but the moment he saw Felix's face contorted in pain, he shot upright, wide awake. "Felix? What's wrong?"

Felix clutched his belly, wincing as another contraction hit. "My water broke," he managed to say between breaths. "I think... today's the day."

"Today?" Chan asked, his eyes wide with shock. It took him a second to process before a huge smile spread across his face. "Today!"

Felix nodded, tears in his eyes, but this time they were tears of joy and nervous excitement. "My water broke, guys," he said, more loudly this time, as the others began to stir. "It's happening... today's the day."

Minho was the first to respond, immediately jumping out of bed. "It's happening? Now?"

Changbin followed quickly, scrambling to get dressed. "We need to call the midwife!"

"Felix, are you okay?" Hyunjin asked, his face filled with concern as he kneeled beside the bed, gently taking Felix's hand in his.

Felix nodded, though the pain was becoming harder to manage with each contraction. "I'm okay... just—ow!—it hurts," he winced again, gripping Hyunjin's hand tightly.

"We're calling the midwife right now," Seungmin reassured him as he pulled out his phone and dialed. "She'll be here soon."

The house became a flurry of activity as they rushed to get everything ready. Jisung grabbed Felix's bag while Jeongin prepared a space in the living room with blankets and pillows, where they had planned for the home birth. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, anticipation, and a touch of nervousness.

As the contractions intensified, the midwife arrived, calm and prepared, and Felix was carefully moved into the prepared space. Chan stayed by his side, holding his hand, while Minho and Changbin helped him breathe through the waves of pain. Hyunjin wiped the sweat from Felix's forehead, offering soft words of encouragement, while Seungmin, Jisung, and Jeongin stood by, anxiously awaiting the moment when they would finally meet their child.

After six hours of intense labor, Felix was drenched in sweat, his body exhausted but determined. The midwife coached him through the final pushes, and, at last, the cries of a newborn filled the room.

Felix's entire body trembled with relief as the midwife placed a tiny, wailing baby girl in his arms. He stared down at her, his breath caught in his throat. She was so small, so perfect. Tears streamed down Felix's face, his heart filled with a love so overwhelming it made his chest ache.

"She's... she's here," Felix whispered in awe, his voice thick with emotion. "We did it."

The others gathered around him, their eyes wide with wonder as they gazed down at the tiny bundle in Felix's arms. Jeongin sniffled, wiping away tears, while Jisung let out a soft, joyful laugh.

"She's perfect," Changbin whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "Absolutely perfect."

Chan leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to Felix's forehead. "You did amazing, Felix. She's beautiful."

Felix smiled weakly, his body still trembling from the exertion of labor, but his heart full. He looked at the baby girl in his arms, her tiny fingers curled against his chest. "She's... our treasure," Felix said softly, and the name they had all discussed suddenly felt so right. "BoBae."

The others nodded in agreement, their faces soft with love and pride.

"BoBae," Minho echoed, smiling down at her. "Our little treasure."

Hyunjin gently stroked the baby's cheek with his finger. "Welcome to the world, BoBae. We're going to take such good care of you."

Felix's heart swelled as he looked at each of his boyfriends, their eyes filled with the same joy and love he felt. They had created this life together, a symbol of their love, and now, as they all stood together, it truly felt like their family was complete.

"We're a family now," Felix whispered, his voice breaking slightly as he looked down at BoBae, feeling the weight of the moment settle in his heart. "A real family."

And as they all gathered around Felix and their newborn daughter, Felix knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together—united by love, bound by something far greater than any of them could have ever imagined.

Years passed, and life for Felix and the Stray Kids had settled into a beautiful, chaotic harmony. Their home was filled with laughter, love, and the pitter-patter of small feet running across the floor. Little BoBae, now five years old, had grown into a curious, spirited child, the perfect combination of all her fathers. She had Hyunjin's artistic soul, Jeongin's playful innocence, Jisung's humor, Changbin's fierce loyalty, Minho's quiet strength, Seungmin's intellect, and Chan's unwavering leadership—all wrapped in Felix's warmth and gentleness.

Felix no longer carried the weight of his past as an angel, but every once in a while, when the light hit just right or when BoBae giggled in that special way, he was reminded of the life he had once lived and the impossible choice he had made. And every time he thought back to that decision, he felt no regrets. His family, the love they shared, and the life they had built together made it all worth it.

The years had been kind to them. Their careers continued to thrive. They traveled the world together, performing in sold-out arenas and hearing their fans cheer for them, but the best part was always returning home—to BoBae, to each other, to the life they had created.

One sunny afternoon, the entire family was gathered in their backyard, enjoying a rare day off. The garden was alive with color, the flowers swaying gently in the breeze as BoBae ran around, her laughter ringing in the air. She was chasing a butterfly, her eyes wide with fascination, as Chan and Minho kept a watchful eye on her. Felix sat on a blanket spread out on the grass, leaning back against Changbin's chest, who was gently running his fingers through Felix's hair while Seungmin rubbed his legs. Felix was pregnant again and this time he swore it was a boy. His legs hurt and kept swelling no matter how much he rested. Hyunjin was sketching nearby, while Jisung and Jeongin were tossing a ball back and forth, each of them stealing glances at BoBae's joy.

Felix closed his eyes, soaking in the warmth of the sun and the comfort of Changbin's embrace and the blissful feeling of Seungmin's hands rubbing out the knots in his legs. He felt content, truly content, for the first time in a long time. The years had brought challenges—BoBae's birth, the struggles of balancing fame and family, the ups and downs of parenthood—but they had faced it all together. Their love had only grown stronger, and the life they had built was more than Felix had ever dreamed of.

As BoBae came running over, her tiny feet pounding against the grass, she launched herself into Felix's arms, giggling as she did. "Papa! Look! I caught the butterfly!"

Felix opened his eyes and smiled down at her, his heart swelling with love. "You did, sweetheart?" he asked, gently cupping her small hand, which held the delicate creature.

BoBae nodded enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's so pretty, Papa."

Felix smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Just like you, BoBae."

Jisung jogged over, wiping sweat from his brow as he flopped down next to Felix. "She's going to be an athlete," he joked, catching his breath. "I can't keep up with her."

"Not with those tiny legs of yours," Minho quipped from his seat on the lawn chair, a smirk on his lips.

Jisung shot him a mock glare but laughed. "Oh, hush."

BoBae giggled, clearly enjoying the playful banter between her fathers. "Papa Jisung, you need to run faster!" she teased, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

As the laughter died down, Felix looked around at the scene before him—his boyfriends, his daughter, the peaceful joy that filled the air—and he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. This was his life now, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.

Hyunjin, having finished his sketch, walked over and knelt beside Felix, showing him the drawing he had been working on. It was a beautiful portrait of their family—Felix, BoBae, and the rest of the Stray Kids, all intertwined in an embrace of love and unity.

"It's beautiful," Felix whispered, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at the sketch.

Hyunjin smiled, his eyes soft as he reached out to gently brush a tear from Felix's cheek. "It's us," he said simply. "Our family. And when the baby comes I'll draw him into your arms."

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the garden, Felix realized how far they had come. From that fateful night in the forest when he had crash-landed into their lives to this very moment, holding his daughter close and surrounded by the love of his boyfriends, Felix knew that everything had led him here for a reason.

He had been given a second chance at life, at love, and at family. And in return, he had given them everything he had, just as they had given him the same in return.

The promise they had made to each other—the vow to love, protect, and cherish one another—had been kept. And now, as they looked toward the future, Felix knew that their love, their family, would continue to grow.

"BoBae," Felix said softly, resting his hand on her small back, "you're our treasure. And we're going to make sure you grow up knowing just how loved you are."

"We all will," Chan added, his voice warm and filled with certainty as he took Felix's hand, intertwining their fingers.

Felix smiled, his heart full. "Together."

And as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the world in a soft, golden light, Felix knew that their future was bright. Together, they would face whatever came their way—always side by side, always with love. Because in the end, love was what had brought them together, and love would keep them together, always.

A treasure, indeed.
