It Just Happened That Way || JEONGIN from skz!

Jeongin's POV

"So everything is back to normal?" Felix asks me.

I give him a big smile and nodded. Felix and I were out for a warm lunch at a local porridge joint.

"When do we get to meet her?" Felix asks again.

I swallow my spoon of porridge and ask, "You guys want to meet her?" I frown. We didn't often introduce each other to our friends outside of the entertainment industry. Things got a little messy when that happened.

"I mean, you guys all met Jason. And honestly, Yeona seems like she's already a big part of your life, so I don't doubt that she'll remain that way."

Jason is Felix's boyfriend, and he was a normal guy who also happened to meet Felix by chance.

"That's true, but that was after you guys started dating!"

"And we started dating, what, 2 months after meeting? Officially, at least."

"Okay. But I don't want to freak her out by bringing all 7 of you guys to her at once. Can we do it slowly?"

"Duh, whatever you want. Should I bring Jason? Some normalcy? Someone she can relate to since he's...just like. Not part of Stray Kids," Felix says, chuckling.

"Wait, yeah, that'd be perfect. Maybe cook dinner at my apartment? You can bring brownies, I give you permission."

Felix rolls his eyes. "Excuse me, I may only know how to make brownies and cookies, but those are some of the best goddamn cookies and brownies you've ever had."

Later

"Dinner with Felix? Wait, and his boyfriend? Felix has a boyfriend?"

I frown at Yeona. "Um, yeah, you hadn't heard?" She wasn't going to be judgmental right...

"Wow! I remember back when I was a bigger Stan, people would speculate whether Felix was bi. I was so excited just by the prospect of it."

I tilt my head and ask, "Why?"

"Well, as a bi person, it's just comforting to see that Korean queer people are not nonexistent."

I internally curse for even doubting Yeona, and reply, "Yeah, I think Korea has become more inclusive recently, at least among the younger generations."

"Anyways, dinner with Felix and his boyfriend? This is like a double date, if we were dating," Yeona says casually, laughing.

My heart skips a beat, and I chase away the feeling. What in the world...

"Haha, yeah, it might be him and a couple of the other guys, but his boyfriend will be there too so it's not just Stray Kids people!"

"Okay, that sounds good. At your apartment?"

"Nah, probably on the roof?"

"Oh yeah! That sounds good. I'm in."
