The question caused him to let out a dry chuckle. "No, you do not. Is that your intention?" It wasn't that Wonyoung made him nervous, but her advances kept bringing someone else to mind... someone whose perspective of him carried a lot of importance to the dancer. That made him nervous. "I think you know," he counters with an even, low tone. From his view, it was very obvious to both parties what Wonyoung's intentions were. At first, he simply gave an evasive smirk in response to her question. But as her tone lost its playfulness, her venomous words began to slip past his nonchalant facade and slash at his own belief in his words. Like a cat scratching at wooden furniture, the younger idol had managed to remove the veneer from Felix's current romantic situation. He forced an expression of amusement, attempting to veil the insecurities that she had managed to drag up. "Imaginary?" He challenged. "That's quite an interesting observation from someone who's only looking for someone to distract her from a guy who can't commit." He releases her hand and stuffs his hands into his pockets instead. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Just because I'm not someone's 'boyfriend' doesn't mean I'm interested in others." Despite his words, inside he was riddled with self-doubt. What if she was right? What if Soobin wouldn't care if he slept with someone else? Even if they weren't official, he knew he'd be heartbroken if Soobin slept with someone else, but could he really expect anything different? After all, Soobin cheated on his last relationship with him. Why wouldn't he do the same thing again? "How much further to your dorm?"

Felix knew that there was plenty to question in this situation. The younger idol had made it clear that she had intentions that were far from innocent, whether she would explicitly acknowledge them or not. The delicate yet deliberate way that she slipped her hand in his made that abundantly clear. The dancer had to make a conscious effort to not appear startled, not wanting to give her the reaction she so clearly wanted. He felt like a mouse being toyed with by a hungry cat, and Wonyoung’s expression mirrored that sentiment perfectly. She was playing with him, he could see that, but the decision to play along or shut her down weighed on him. In truth, the act of holding hands was innocent in itself. If he were to pull away, it would end the game but also potentially offend the younger idol. Besides, Felix held hands with his members on a regular basis. Holding hands with Wonyoung now wasn’t any different than that. Her remark about his voice, however, left no room for interpretation. Felix raised a single brow at her comment, carefully calculating the best response to her. “I get that a lot,” he replied simply, voice even and soft. The dancer was normally the picture of manners, always graciously accepting compliments that were given to him, but that felt like the wrong approach in this instance. Thankfully, her joke about bowing to him helped to temporarily ease the tension she was so carefully crafting. “No, I’m not someone who cares about honorifics, but I do always make sure to use them with my seniors. You know, so no one gets the wrong idea?” He mustered a chuckle at her comments. “Do you find people who are unavailable to be more interesting?” His thoughts wandered back to Soobin then. Would the leader be upset to see him holding Wonyoung's hand? Or would he be irritated that Felix just referred to himself as 'unavailable' when they hadn't actually said they were exclusive?

Felix hadn't fully fallen asleep just yet, somewhere between awake and dreaming when Seungmin came in to wake him. His eyes flew open at the commotion, a soft smile on his lips as he rose from the bed. "Min-ah, what's all this?" He chuckled and slid off the bed, slightly groggy as he followed his roommate into their living room. The dancer felt his heart warm at the sight of the decorations. "You didn't have to do all of this." He pulled the singer into his arms for a hug, grateful for the effort he'd made to make his birthday special. "Thank you."

@sunshineboylix

Seungmin had convinced Felix to go to bed early - and as soon as he knew his dorm mate was asleep - that when he put his plan into action. He decorated the living room in blue and gold balloons, and multiple other birthday things - there was a gold 24 balloon around there somewhere. He had set out the gift he had got for him - the custom funko pop, wrapped up in matching wrapping paper to the theme of the living room. He placed the card with it - giggling to himself knowing what the front of the card said.

The twenty three year old sat in the living room until it was about five of midnight, grabbing the blower and noise maker that came with all the decorations and slipped into his dorm mates room quietly. Watching the time as soon at it hit midnight, Seungmin started to make noise, waking Felix up "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

생일 축하해, Felix! -BWS

thanks hyung! this cake is awesome!

Felix: i don't know where i'd be without you mate Felix: is okay for me to come over in an hour or so?

Felix: if you don't mind Felix: i can compensate you for your counsel with chicken and beer Felix: when is a good time?

Would the leader be upset to see him holding Wonyoung's hand? Or would he be irritated that Felix just referred to himself as 'unavailable' when they hadn't actually said they were exclusive?

Felix chuckled at the simple response. The unspoken understanding that both were playing coy was amusing, to say the least. "I think that anyone can cause trouble." He knew that the small distance between them could be questionable or easily misinterpreted, but at the moment, he wasn't concerned with repercussions. "The question is, will you?" The mischief in her eyes was unmistakable. Although he had reason to not indulge her, he was intrigued by the younger idol.

"You're quite the anomaly, you know." He spoke calmly as they walked towards her dorm. "Most juniors are timid towards their seniors." Felix had experienced countless interactions with younger idols that seemed nervous or even fearful to greet him or his group. It was the same reverence and reservation he felt towards his own seniors. With the exception of some of the GOT7 members that he'd become close to while they were still with the company, the dancer's concept of seniority in their industry had been primarily rooted in showing the same level of respect one would show a teacher. He wasn't offended by the way that Wonyoung spoke to him so casually, but it did make him curious. What was the source of her confidence? "I can't help but wonder... do you find all of your seniors interesting?" He asked, intentionally referencing the word she had used before.

[sunshineboylix]

"Yeah," Felix chuckled awkwardly, trying to read Jeongin's reaction to seeing him without making it obvious. The younger man didn't seem to find their run-in too strange, and he was on a mission to keep it that way. "I strayed a little far from the dorms. Couldn't sleep." That much was true, but he conveniently left out the part about how he'd spent the last several hours at Soobin's place. "You? Just waking up or haven't slept yet?" He placed a hand over his neck under the guise of rubbing it but actually to shield his friend from seeing the evidence of the night before.

Felix slipped out of the front door carefully, the early sunlight making his exit a lot more conspicuous than he'd hoped. He hadn't meant to stay the whole night, but now here he was, making what one could only describe as a walk of shame. The clothes he'd wore over did nothing to conceal the evidence of last night, and having love bites on his neck in public would surely cause a PR nightmare for him and the company. The shocking absence of cabs on the street weren't making his situation any better, but at least there was a subway station not too far from here. He had just turned the corner when he spotted the familiar face, and he froze in panic. "....hey."

"I can't help but wonder... do you find all of your seniors interesting?" He asked, intentionally referencing the word she had used before.

Felix was becoming more sure of Wonyoung's intentions as they continued talking. He wanted to be flattered by her advances, but something gave him the impression that the younger idol wasn't driven by any romantic feelings towards him. "Playing it safe is a bit of a necessity in this industry," he replied coolly, though he masked his seriousness with a soft smile. "There's always eyes on us. Part of this job is ensuring that no one sees something they shouldn't." He winked at her before pulling away. Two could play at this game. "Well, that's probably wise of you." The dancer knew well how popular Wonyoung was and how well she fit the beauty standards in the country. "We wouldn't want anything to happen to Korea's sweetheart." Though it was known that Seoul was a relatively safe country, there was always a chance that some weirdo was lurking around the corner with bad intentions. But Felix had a feeling that Wonyoung wasn't genuinely worried for her safety. No, this was just a thinly veiled attempt to get him to admire her beauty. Part of him wanted to roll his eyes playfully, but instead, he just chuckled lightly. "I don't worry too much for you. A girl as pretty as you surely has her pick of people lining up to keep her company." He took another sip from the soju bottle. "Just be selective in the company you keep. Sometimes the most innocent-looking people can cause the most trouble." He gave her a knowing smile, silently inferring that she could fit into the category of innocent-looking troublemakers. "Would you like me to walk you back to your dorm? So no one kidnaps you?" His words were teasing in their tone, but he'd happily chaperone her back if she'd like. Growing up with sisters, he felt protective of any girl on her own.

felix was unaware of the camera at first, too fascinated with the textures and colors before him. it isn't until the third or fourth click that he registers its presence, a soft smile appearing on his lips as his eyes found the photographer. he struggled to fulfill his modeling duty of looking at the lens when it was hyunjin behind it. wide eyes zeroed in on his friend instead as he walked toward the painting. "yeah?" he very much liked the idea of bringing home the piece. "maybe we could reserve it and find a second one that goes well with it. one ends up in each of our rooms. like a friendship bracelet." he knew the comparison sounded silly out loud, but he couldn't think of a better comparison.

@hynujinn

As Felix wandered through the sleek halls of the art gallery alongside Hyunjin, the soft echo of their footsteps was a soothing change from the normal chaos of work. He stopped in front of a pastel painting, the soft hues drawing him in. “I like this one,” he said softly. It was moments like these, away from their high-energy schedules, that made Felix appreciate the simple joys of exploring and appreciating the beauty around them.

felix couldn't tell if his labelmate was being polite or genuinely hadn't noticed the marks, but he was happy to play along either way. "what are you doing up so early, chaery?" he could guess that she was more likely in his boat of not having slept yet, especially given her casual clothes. his own sweats could suggest he'd been coming from the company as well. "you staying out of trouble?" he grinned as he took a seat beside her to wait for the train.

a deep flush swept across his cheeks from hearing soobin's words of praise. even after years in the spotlight, he got self-conscious from compliments. "thank you," he managed to reply along with a squeeze of the other's hand. "so we can fully enjoy it tonight then," he replied. "it'll be like the first time for us both."

felix smiled at the question. he felt a swell of relief as he confirmed, "yes, of course." even though the pair had done far more than kissing, this was their first kiss that wasn't in the heat of the moment. he leaned in slightly, a soft sigh escaping him when he finally felt soobin's lips on his again. the dancer didn't know how long this would last, how soon soobin might get bored with him, but he was determined to enjoy it for as long as he could.

felix bit his lip to fight back the giant grin that was trying to form when soobin placed his hand on his lap. "i love filming. the days are long but we have so much fun on set. and it's nice that if we mess up, we can have a second chance to do it right." the dancer had always been hyper-critical of his performances, so being able to correct helped take the pressure off. "i'm excited to see your comeback when it releases. you guys always have such beautiful concepts. your group's storyline is so interesting." as he spoke, he had unconsciously laced his hands with the leader, and when he looked down at their intertwined hands, he blushed. "no, i haven't," he wasn't familiar with the name, but he assumed it must be their destination. "have you?"

felix mentally debated about whether he should initiate any further physical interaction. after their first night together, it seemed counterintuitive to be shy about physical touch now. but in the daylight, even a kiss on the cheek felt much more significant. would soobin think he was clingy? the dancer was determined to come across as laidback and easygoing so he didn't scare him off. no, he should play it cool and stick with holding his hand. he could always properly thank him for the evening later.

[sunshineboylix]

the dancer let out a soft, nervous laugh. it was embarrassing enough to be running into someone he knew, but even worse that this was his senior. "what are you doing up this early, hyung?" he'd been at the same shows as minghao on many occasions, but the two weren't exactly close. avoiding the question seemed like a good option, but he still found himself shrugging sheepishly when the older man put his phone away. "i don't... i don't normally do this kind of thing." the dancer was selective with who got into bed with, so one-night stands weren't typical for him. he placed a hand on his neck, trying and failing to conceal the evidence of last night. "it's bad, isn't it?"

resting would no longer be an option for the txt leader as he would return to work in a blink of an eye. though he still had practice and recordings to film, he had the opportunity to be home at a reasonable hour. there were things he wanted to cross off his list before touring began, and that was seeing felix again. interacting via phone since their last interaction was not enough in soobin's eyes.

a proper date was on his agenda. if it were up to him; soobin would have picked felix and head to their destination, but he had no driver's license. instead he would rely on a company car with a driver. "i'm happy to see you again." soobin glances at the dancer, smile already resting on his face. "is it forward to say that i missed you?"

Growing up with sisters, he felt protective of any girl on her own.

"Interesting," he repeated as if pondering the response. By now, he could tell that the young woman was definitely not regarding him as simply her boyfriend's coworker or her senior. The closeness and the choice of words evidenced her intentions, much to Felix's amusement. Wonyoung was certainly a pretty girl, that much was obvious, but the dancer had no intention of crossing that line with his member's girlfriend. "Sometimes, yes, but it's good to tread lightly." He leaned in closer, his voice a low whisper against the shell of her ear. "Exciting things can end up with someone getting hurt, and I know a sweet girl like you wouldn't want that, hm?"

For a moment, Felix considered giving in to the younger idol's game. Jisung had never respected his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, so why should he show him that courtesy now? Wonyoung was pretty, and Felix was technically single... maybe a little preoccupied with someone else but they still weren't technically together. Maybe this was the distraction he needed to get those dimples out of his mind.

But the thought left as quickly as it came. He wouldn't do anything with Wonyoung. Any reason he could come up with in favor was far from honorable, and he was trying to get back on a more honorable path. Felix was a good guy. He knew better than to entertain such ideas. Instead, he pulled back to open the soju bottle and took the first sip before offering her the bottle. "Do you do this often? Wander the streets at night?"
