Wedding Bells [HyunLix] (Completed)

Chapter 17

Hey there
Sorry again for the delay...
I am obviously not as emotionally attached to this story as I am with my two others, but I'm trying.
I also struggled with doubts after some feedbacks on something else and I had a hard time finding some motivation to go on with any work >//<
.oO0*0Oo.

The menu was flamboyant and the food as delicious as the name hinted it to be. Sure, it was a bit extravagant, but everyone was more than satisfied and Felix would not have wished for anything else. 

Despite his constant worries, or maybe thanks to them, no issue happened the whole day. Hyewon thanked him more than she probably did during their whole file and both families came to congratulate him for his on-point organisation, some even joking about hiring him for the next occasion. 

Felix was wrapped in a bubble of happiness with the soft music in the background, good food on the tables, happy talks all around the room, longing looks from Hyunjin and constant soft touches. Felix knew he failed to be discreet, but despite not being outspoken about his relations, for once, he could not seem to mind. 

By the end of the main part of the dinner, slow music started and the DJ called out for the recently married couple. They opened the dance with an old fashioned Valse that lasted for about one minute before they all burst out laughing. They invited others to join for a slow, couples and parents with kids joining easily. 

Felix, as usual, did not wait long to let his body take the lead. Playfully, he decided to invite Hyewon's mother to dance and she complied easily. She was happy to be with her almost-son and ready to show off her best moves too. 

When the music finally changed for some more upbeat songs, more people joined the dance floor to share the fun. Beside them, a few of Hyewon and Felix's friends were dancing with other people he barely recognized and the older woman decided to leave the space for the bouncy youngster surrounding them. 

With the music change, what started with a courteous dance with the older woman soon turned into a complete mess of hype, TikTok moves, gamers dances and jumps all around. 

Sure, Felix liked to dance properly, but sometimes, he just wanted to feel the adrenaline. He liked to move no matter how it looked, simply following could just move the way he felt it and just have fun. 

Despite not knowing each other that well, Jisung was particularly eager to join the fun. After all, he was the dance master around and could not miss the opportunity. 

The song was one of those crazy songs from the nineties you could only hear for such gatherings, but all the guests in their forties danced to it with passion. Despite not being forty yet, Jisung did too. He liked the vibe and didn't mind if he looked completely ridiculous. 

Unexpectedly, Felix followed his moves and soon, they were both moving crazily on the punchy song. 

There was nothing sensual in their dance, but there was something almost intimate in the way they harmonized with their wild demonstration. It looked like their bodies easily communicated, sharing silent messages, as if they had been doing that for years. 

All the others tried to follow their rhythm, without being able to and it ended up in more laugh than dance. By the end of the song, they were all tired, but not ready to stop yet. Felix was panting a bit and Jisung was not in any better condition. 

They shared playful compliments about their outstanding dancing skills, amused to see how easily they managed to dance together despite being almost strangers. 

Minho scoffed beside them, "You both suck, that's why." 

Jisung and Felix chuckled and continued talking. Unhappy to be left out, Minho turned back to dance and crossed path with a deadpan looking Hyunjin.

"Yeah please do something, these brats are tiring." 

Walking slowly, Hyunjin came close to Felix, leaning too close against his back as he smiled at Jisung who just had Felix's hands in his as he tried to convince him to do some kind of un-fancy pirouette. 

"Are you guys done?" Hyunjin asked, sweetly enough to make Felix shiver. 

The music did not really allow him to get as close as he would have wanted to, but he did not pay it any mind and slid his arm around Felix's waist. He was too obvious, for once, but it wasn't needed to be a genius to notice he was not willing to let anyone too close without a proper trust-check. 

Taking the message, Jisung walked a step back and raised both hands above his head. "Yup, hands-off, gotcha!" he laughed. "I promise I had no intention of stealing. I have my own" 

"What?" Felix frowned. 

"I promise you wouldn't like to receive such a sugar-coated glare." 

Felix turned around to see Hyunjin blinking innocently with the sweetest smile he ever saw on his lips. 

"Boy, can you be more obvious?" Jisung shook his head amused. " I will let you settle that," he added as he left to join what seemed to be a brand new argument between Minho and Seungmin. 

Felix stared at Hyunjin, waiting for any word from him. 

"I don't know what he's talking about," he shrugged. 

Felix was a bit shaken about the whole scene. He felt giddy and his legs were wobbly, but it was surely not due to his extreme dance performance. He could not take the scene off his mind. Hyunjin's smile, his unashamed obviousness, the warmth that spread through him. He needed to cool down before he loses control and started to make out with him in public. 

"I'm going to the toilet quickly," he said, rushing to the bathroom to freshen up and hopefully clear his mind too.
