The first time Hyunjin and Felix met, it was war. Felix had never liked Hyunjin-his smug face, his sharp tongue, the way he carried himself like he owned the world. Hyunjin, in return, found Felix insufferable-too stubborn, too intense, too unwilling to bend. Their rivalry was legendary, whispered about in every room they walked into. Their fights were brutal, their words like blades, cutting deep, leaving wounds neither would acknowledge. But beneath all that fury, there was something else. Something dangerous. Something that neither of them dared to name. Until one night, it all came to a head.

They've been best friends since they were kids. For twelve years, one has carried a secret - a secret that started when he was only nine. He hides it behind smiles, behind a girlfriend, behind everything... except his heart that has always belonged to him. But now, something is changing. The boy he's loved all along is starting to fall for him too - slowly, unknowingly. Two hearts, twelve years of silence, and a friendship that's about to turn into something much more.

'Hyunjin has always been different in that regard, and Felix is more careful, more mindful around him. As if the stakes are higher. (Felix loves each and every one of them so much, so he can't explain why the thought of angering Hyunjin, losing Hyunjin, makes him panic in a much different way than thinking about losing any of the others.)' or After filming 2 Kids Room with Hyunjin, Felix questions first his words to and then his feelings for Hyunjin. And slowly but surely, it becomes everyone's problem. This is a canon compliant Hyunlix story told in 12 parts.

Hyunjin fell first. Felix tried not to. Somewhere between stolen glances and late-night laughter, friendship turned dangerous. What started as warmth became a wildfire neither of them knew how to put out. With Hyunjin, Felix felt seen. With Felix, Hyunjin felt steady. Like home. They loved each other recklessly - the kind of love that feels like forever. And forever is expensive. Distance creeps in. Time changes things. The world doesn't always make room for love that burns this bright. When everything falls apart, all they have left is a promise whispered through tears. "I promise I will find my way back to you. God, I don't know how, but I will, because I promised you." [this is my first ff so like don't judge me]

A group of university students trying to survive adulthood one terrible meal, unfinished assignment, and emotional breakdown at a time. Felix, Seungmin, and Han start university as strangers and somehow become inseparable. Then I.N enters their lives, dragging with him an older brother none of them were prepared for - Hwang Hyunjin. An artist. A dreamer. And eventually, the love of Felix's life. Over the years, friendships deepen, careers begin, feelings grow complicated, and small moments slowly turn into the kind of memories people carry forever. But when ambition, distance, and one life-changing misunderstanding tear Felix and Hyunjin apart, the people around them are left watching two people who still love each other struggle to find their way back. Because sometimes losing someone isn't the hardest part. Sometimes it's living with everything they left behind.

It all falls into place then. He knew, of course, he knew, saw Felix's face appear in the studio once he realized what was happening to him. It had been faint then, somehow. A truth so barely acknowledged that it lived only in the back of Hyunjin's mind, a secret, wrapped in layers of paper so no one would ever take a glance at it, not even him, even though he knew it sat there, uncovered but solid. Real. It's different now that the secret had been dragged into the light, the paper torn to shreds, and there's barely any surprise, his mind only catching up to what his body already knew, but his heart squeezes with the realization, surging through the pure, sweet taste of loving someone so deeply, only to sour when the thought hits him, that the flower growing in his chest and the petals making their way up his throat can only mean one thing: He's in love with Felix, but Felix doesn't love him back.

Felix just wanted to take dance classes in peace. Instead, he: - Got followed by his ex - Accidentally fake-dated his extremely hot dance teacher - Acquired six suspiciously observant friends - Learned that Seungmin sees everything - And realized that pretending to date Hyunjin feels... alarmingly safe Hyunjin, meanwhile, is just trying not to: - Scare Felix - Rush Felix - Confess his feelings from six months ago - Or punch Felix's ex on sight It's fake dating. Until it's not. And everyone else knew before they did. Warnings: ⚠️ -smut; -slow burn but also not; -comfort.

They train together. They perform together. They travel the world together. Eight boys-Stray Kids. Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. More than a group. A family built on rhythm, sweat, and trust. They know each other's habits. Each other's silences. Each other's breaking points. But the difference between the reality and this story... Is Felix. Because here, Felix isn't the youngest. He's not the maknae. But he feels like one. The softest. The quietest. The most fragile. He's the one they all instinctively protect. Not because he's weak- But because the world hits him harder than it should. And when something new enters their circle- Something warm, something familiar- They forget the warning. They forget that danger doesn't always come loud. Sometimes it comes gently. Sometimes it feels like love. And by the time they realize what's happening... Felix is already falling.

The year is 2023. After the laser incident, the company laid down strict rules: no excessive closeness in front of the cameras. But for Hyunjin and Felix, the distance grew far beyond mere policy. Felix pulled away so completely that a real wall of silence and unspoken resentment formed between them. What shattered their legendary friendship? How long can you pretend everything is fine when it's clearly not? They're just friends, aren't they?

Hyunjin has spent years learning how to feel... just not too much. Felix feels everything openly, effortlessly, like the world hasn't taught him to hold back yet. They were never supposed to meet in the middle. But somewhere between quiet glances, unspoken understanding, and moments that linger longer than they should...Hyunjin starts to unravel. And Felix? Felix just stays not knowing he's becoming something Hyunjin doesn't know how to control or survive. Because he was never supposed to feel this much not like this, not this deeply, and especially not because of him not because of Felix.
