0.8. For Felix

Now that Felix has found Changbin, Minho found himself getting closer to Hyunjin, they surprisingly had a lot in common. Where Minho was negative and ridden with thoughts of what ifs and ideas that he might never find his lover again, Hyunjin was positive and the type of person to never give up, they bounced off each other.

It was a Friday and they were exploring the city whilst sticking up some posters for the 'Wiped Out Support Group' which was really just a way to lure people into signing up for Unite. They were talking about their memories, Hyunjin spoke of how Chan had always told him that the younger's were strange and seemed as if they related to two people rather than one. Minho was equally confused.

"He said that I was remembering twice the amount of information to everyone else," Hyunjin spoke, "but not in the sense of twice the amount of different things," the boy stopped for a second to help Minho stick a poster where he couldn't quite reach, "I was remembering the same type of information just twice and different if that makes sense."

"Oh yeah I understand, like I've remembered the 14th of September so you've remembered..." Minho trailed off.

"22nd of September and 8th February," Hyunjin nodded and Minho smiled.

"That's nice though don't you think? Surely if you find even one of them if you then put both of your memories of the other person together you'll find him really easily," Minho said and Hyunjin's eyes widened.

"I never thought about it like that before, you're right hyung," the younger boy grinned.

They met up with Felix and Changbin again when they headed back to Minho and Felix's house, the two were cuddled up into each other and Minho's heart melted at the sight. Seeing Felix so happy made him impossibly happy, the younger boy deserved it more than anyone else in the world.

When the two soulmates lifted their heads to see Minho and Hyunjin walking through the door, Felix jumped up excitedly and motioned towards Changbin's laptop, "Changbin hyung can get in contact with Chan hyung!"

Minho felt his eyes go wide as he turned his head to see that Hyunjin mirrored his reaction, "Isn't that dangerous?" Hyunjin questioned with a furrowed brow.

"Not at all," Changbin explained, "Unite's computers are so heavily guarded it's basically impossible to get into their system, we have our own networks so no one will find us you don't need to worry about that," Hyunjin nodded but still looked slightly unsure as he timidly took a seat next to Felix on the couch as they crowded around the bulky laptop.

Changbin clicked a few buttons before smiling, "he doesn't know me and Lix found each other," he giggled happily and Felix looked at him with such a gaze of pure adoration that Minho was almost taken aback. The pure love that was visible on the faces of both Felix and Changbin ever since they had found each other had given the older boy unlimited hope that having his memory wiped wouldn't be the end of his relationship with whoever it may have been out there that he loved.

The boy's thought process was cut off by a ringing tone echoing from Changbin's laptop and it didn't even take thirty seconds for a very excited looking Chan to accept Changbin's video call request. "Changbinnie!" Chan exclaimed before seeing the other boys who were also sat around the laptop, "oh my god!! Hi!" he grinned brightly.

"Chan hyung! You'll never guess what!" Felix practically yelled because of his excitement.
"Yeah Lix?" Chan asked from behind the camera.

"I found him," Felix spoke and Minho swore that his eyes were sparkling so brightly even the poor quality webcam picked up their shine.

"OH MY GOD!! LIX I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! WHAT'S HIS NAME?? TELL ME EVERYTHING," Chan beamed excitedly and another boy Minho had never seen before popped up behind the camera.

"What's happening?" The other boy asked as he leant on the back of Chan's chair.

"Wooj! This is Felix I told you about! He's found his lover!" Chan grinned and the boy, who Minho now realised was Woojin, clapped excitedly.

"Hi Felix, I'm Woojin and I'm so so happy for you!" He waved and all of the boys waved back.

"So Lix who is it?" Chan asked.

Felix smiled cutely before turning to face Changbin, "it's Changbin hyung!"

"WHAT?" Chan's smile got impossibly wider, "I'm so so happy for both of you, oh my god, this is amazing, I'm so happy for you," the boy laughed in excitement and glossy tears began to form in both Felix and Changbin's eyes.

Changbin wrapped his arm around Felix and pulled him into his side so Felix was resting his head on his shoulder. Both Chan and Woojin cooed at the two boys and Woojin moved to rest his head on top of Chan's whilst the eldest Australian changed the conversation, "Hyunjin, Minho how's it going for you two?" he asked.

The two boy's smiles faltered ever so slightly as Minho answered first, "still looking," he spoke simply with a wistful smile and Chan just nodded in understanding.

"I know it's hard Min but trust me, I've rarely seen anyone remember as much as you in such a short space of time, you'll find your lover I'm sure," he spoke comfortingly and Minho nodded with a weak smile.

"And you Hyunjin? Found either of them?" Chan asked.

Hyunjin simply shook his head, "no, still searching," he hung his head a little and Minho squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.

"Both of you don't get disheartened, it took Channie and I half a year to find each other and look at us now," Woojin told them both and the boys smiled.

"Thank you, I'm trying not too," Minho spoke attempting to sound as positive as he could.

They talked for a while more after that, about everything and anything. Chan spoke of how great life was in Australia and how he was now looking for his family, Woojin told them that as soon as they found their lovers they could all live together in the big house the two had been given by Unite. "We have another couple living with us but they're out at the moment or else we'd introduce you," Chan spoke happily and Woojin nodded.

"I can't wait hyung," Felix grinned and Minho stared down at his 'brother' fondly. If only he could feel as happy as Felix must be right now, the boy seemed to be the dictionary definition of happiness and hope yet he was putting the rest of his life on hold for Minho.

They said their good byes after talking for a little more than an hour and all seemed quiet after the life and positivity that Chan and a Woojin brought to the room was sucked out. Everything seemed much more real then. Prospects of never having what Chan and Woojin now hung in his mind and Minho just wanted to get rid of them more than ever, what if he never found his lover and he forced Felix and Changbin to be trapped here forever? He didn't want his lack of happiness to be the reason for Felix and Changbin's.

Minho took in the sight of the two. Changbin had his arms wrapped around Felix's waist and was softly blowing air into his ear making the younger giggle as he searched through their cupboards for food. They couldn't wait for Minho forever, the older boy wouldn't allow it.

"What's on your mind hyung?" Hyunjin asked as he slid closer to Minho on the couch.

"Just general worries," Minho brushed it off but Hyunjin was persistent.

"Tell me hyung, I won't judge, I'm probably worrying about the same things."

"I don't wanna never find my lover and force Felix to stay here," Minho breathed out and sympathy immediately flooded into Hyunjin's face.

"I understand that, he says he's waiting for me too but I can't let him, I just keep looking at how happy they are together and I feel like I'm the one who's keeping them away from freedom," Hyunjin breathed out, "it breaks my heart."

Minho nodded feeling less alone after Hyunjin had too shared his concerns, "but if you can't get it out of your head just use it more positively, use it to make yourself try harder to find him whoever he is."

For the first time since he'd got out, Minho was flooded with positivity and pure determination, "for Felix," he breathed out and Hyunjin agreed.

"For Felix."
