14 | Getting Steamy

Felix's POV:

"I wanna go to the saunaaa!" Changbin whined for the 5027393rd time that day as we entered the restaurant we were getting lunch at.

"We will go together after we eat, Binnie." Ray assured him, laughing at the younger boy's behavior.

"Fine.." He whined for the last time, finally giving up.

We ordered a lot of food, which we were all happy about of course.

Especially since I'd have something to focus on other than Claire, who just had to be sitting right. Next. To me.

In an attempt to distract myself from the smell of her perfume that was now filling my nose, I started listening in to the conversation Minho was having with Hyunjin about meat.

Shortly after though, I realized I had to go to the bathroom so I excused myself.

Coming back after a couple of minutes, I took a better look of my friends all sitting around the table and I had to admit, they looked like a real family.

As I was attempting to sit back down at my seat, I somehow tripped on my feet and almost fell on Claire.

Thank god I somehow managed to hold on to the table with my hand, yet the result of that was me being mere inches away from her face, breathing in her dizzying scent.

And like that wasn't enough already, I then noticed Claire's hand on my chest as she was trying to keep me from possibly crushing her.

W-When did she put that there?-

"Your heart is beating really fast." She stated, smiling at me calmly.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Claire-" I immediately apologized, getting back on my feet and as far away from her as I could, to give her space.

"It's fine." She giggled.
"As long as you don't fall into my boobs for the third time we're fine."

For a moment, it seemed like time had stopped.

Everyone went silent.

But alas, it was only for a moment.

"The WHAT time?" Jisung shrieked, breaking the silence.

Well fuck.

"Yeah, excuse me, what?" Chan exclaimed, a mixture of confusion and amusement plastered across his face.

"Food is here!" The waitress said happily while serving us our dishes, and for a moment I thought I had been saved.

'That waitress just won a huge tip' I thought, quickly grabbing my chopsticks as I desperately looked for a way out of the conversation I knew was about to happen.

"It happened a few days ago in the school hallway-" Claire started explaining between her giggles.

"LESS TALKING MORE EATING PLEASE."

"Okay okay, we can talk about this another time." She accepted, yet her words sounded more like a threat to me.

We spent the rest of our time eating silently for the most part, though I was really flirting with the idea of jumping off a cliff the whole time.

When we talked again, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Claire's previous statement already, so I felt a little relieved.

"So, who's joining us in the sauna?" Asked Jisung.

"Oh oh, Claire and I wanted to try the sauna too, actually." Rachel said as she clapped her hands together, earning a look of disbelief from Claire, who had never agreed to this.
