Saturday
Saturday had decided that it wanted to be unique, and while it was getting closer and closer to the start of July, the heat of the day was an anomaly. It also had Felix and Jisung cooped up in the latter's house, not that it really mattered as they had planned to work on their project anyway. Nothing huge, luckily, because the two boys were devoting very little time to any meaningful discussions and were more worried about one another's love lives.
"So how did it go?" Jisung nagged, shaking his friends shoulders while whining about wanting to know everything that happened on the younger's date with Changbin. Felix shoved him away gently and pouted, the redness sat under his freckles showing how he felt.
"It was, really nice actually.. He insisted on paying for my boba and joked around about me letting him taste mine, and he actually seemed interested in my career of wanting to be a dancer.. I dunno what else to say he was just genuinely really sweet!" The blond pulled a smirking face and wiggled his eyebrows, to which Felix acted like he was oblivious to.
"Bet he ain't soft and sweet in bed."
"Ji stop!! Not everything is
about sex, y'know."
"So did he ask you out on another one?"
"Well yeah, he gave me his number and
asked when i was next free to go on a date."
"Wait he literally said the word 'date'?"
"Yeah, he did.."
"OMG HE IS SUCH A KEEPER LIX!"
Expressing it through a hug, Jisung was overjoyed that Felix had someone to love after their whole rift. Changbin seemed like a good kid, and if he turned out to be a dickhead then Jisung would have his fists ready. But as of right now, a fresh and beautiful relationship looked like it was ready to bloom.
"How about you then?" Felix asked, leaning back onto the pillows. The older cocked his head to the side, not following. "Y'know," the snowy haired boy prompted, "you and your little sugar daddy friend." Jisung physically face palmed and flopped backwards as Felix began screeching in amusement.
"Shut up Yongbok, he is not my sugar daddy." But no matter how many times the older insisted that Minho was nothing more than a 'friend', Felix wouldn't take it as an answer.
"Come on, he is at the very least more
than a friend, you with an older guy,
he's like what, 36?"
"HE'S 24 DUDE WHAT THE FUCK."
"Aight calm down you twink, Jesus Christ!"
Their arguing was interrupted by a knock at the door. Jisung checked the time; it was only 10 am. Who would be knocking on the door other than the postman? Getting up the two boys trudged down stairs, since they were home alone and couldn't rely on anyone else to answer it. Also Felix was just curious to see who it was, for no reason in particular of course.
"MinMin?" Jisung exclaimed as the brunette stood in front of him. Minho had Heijin and Heihyun under each arm, both kids looking confused but ecstatic to see the blond again. From behind him Jisung could hear a snort from Felix as the familiar nickname he had for the older slipped out.
"Hey Sungie," Minho said in a flurry, his words rushed. He wasn't as put together as usual, with his hair not neatly combed and his tie off center. "I'm really sorry to ask you for so much but, but could you mind the boy's for today? I have my court meeting." The blond shook his head, holding out his arms in order for Heijin to leap into them.
"That's no trouble at all Min, I'm happy to look after them whenever, you know that!" The older looked like he was close to tears as he kissed his first son before dropping him to the ground.
"Thank you so much Sungie," Minho kissed Heijin too, but then planted a light peck onto the blond's cheek, "I don't know what I'd do without you." After that the older rushed back down to his car, not being able to look back as he sped down the road. Jisung ran his fingers over the spot where Minho had kissed him, feeling the warm tickle and the sticky stain of chapstick still remaining. However he was quick to snap out of it when a loud cry of wonderment came from next to him.
"Woah, Sungie's friend is so pretty too, just like Sungie!" Heijin marvelled as he gawked at Felix, who stood there wearing a dopey smile. Jisung turned around, shutting the door behind him and noticing Heihyun clamped to his leg.
"Yes Heijin he is, this is my friend Felix."
"Ohh, the Felix who liked you but
now likes that other boy?"
"Ahaha yeah, yeah that Felix."
Apparently that Felix was not at all phased by the boy's random compliment, or by the fact that he knew about his crush for Jisung, because he flicked back his mullet and added, "yeah, I am that Felix." Heijin giggled and wriggled in the blond's grip to be let free. Jisung placed him on the floor and watched the small boy toddle over to Felix, throwing every question he could think off at him.
Looking down, the older found Heihyun still latched onto his leg. Much like when he first met Jisung, the young brunette showed nervousness as he peeked out and over at Felix. "Hey," Jisung said to get his attention, "you remember what it was like when you saw me for the first time?"
"Yeah, I do.."
"And how you were hesitant at first?"
"Mhm.. but I liked you still,
and I trust you."
"Exactly, and to be honest Felix is
even nicer than me."
"Jisung I don't think that's possible."

It took some time to introduce Felix, Heijin and Heihyun to one another, but given the snowy haired boy's sunny aura it wasn't a hard task. Heijin instantly became attached, talking non stop with Felix as they contained the same level of enthusiastic energy. Heihyun was quiet, but he did let the tall boy interact with him.
"Felix Felix, can I see your dancing?" Heijin banged his tiny closed fists on the bed covers, looking up at the aforementioned with his adoring brown eyes. Felix wasn't going to say no, and with Jisung shouting at him with mildly hostile encouragement, it didn't seem like such a dreading task.
Getting up Felix stood in the off center of his friends carpet (Jisung's room was big enough for him to dance without knocking something over) and instructed the older to put on a song. Jisung did so, then joined in with the younger two boys in screaming praises at Felix as he put on a mini performance for them. Anybody could clearly tell the tall boy was passionate about his talent, and that many hours and days had gone into his practice. Jisung had already watched his friend dance before, but it got better every time.
"Wooo, that was great Lix." The blond commented while all three of the observing boys clapped. Felix bowed but turned shy real quick, laughing and covering his burning face with his hands.
"Jisung and Mr. Lee are both very talented," Heihyun admitted with a gentle smile, a comment which made Jisung blush and Felix blush even harder than before.
Sitting back down on the soft folds of Jisung's queen sized bed, the tall boy looked towards Heijin and Heihyun. "What talents do you two munchkins have then?" The dark haired boy laughed, biting his lip in order to stop his giggling.
"I like drawing a lot, I designed the
decoration for Sungie's cheesecake
that we gave to our dad."
"Awhh that's so sweet, what do
you like to draw?"
"Animals mainly, especially rabbits!"
"What about you Heihyun?"
The small brunette wrapped his arms around his legs, drawing his knees up to his chest. "I don't really have a talent." He huffed, a hint of letdown in his hushful voice. Jisung cuddled Heihyun close, ruffing his hair with the aim of making him less down.
"That's not true hun, besides you're incredibly smart for your age!" Heihyun solely shrugged.
"Yeah but, that's not a raw talent like Jinnie has." Felix shuffled closer to the small brunette, showing off his toothy smile.
"Listen mate," the snowy haired boy started off in English, before resuming in Korean, "it's perfectly okay if you haven't discovered your talent yet, you're still young and it may take time. I didn't find out I could dance until I was 10."
Heihyun considered this advice for a moment, before responding, in clear well pronounced English, "thank you Mr. Lee." Everyone else's mouths fell open, and the younger stared round in faultless puzzlement. "What?"
"You can speak English?" Heijin pointed out in shock; he never knew his brother could speak another language! The older shrugged again, not really realising that this was kind of a huge revelation to the rest of them. Testing out this finding, Felix switched to speaking in English.
"So you can understand what
I am saying?"
"Yes I can."
"Have you had lessons?"
"No, I.. because I watch T.V
that speaks in English."
"You taught yourself english by
watching T.V?"
"Yes, with the Korean text at the bottom."
Heijin's cheeks puffed up as he pouted sullenly. "I watch the same programs, why can't I speak English?" The older two boys both found this entertaining and couldn't help but laugh, reminding the dark haired boy that he had plenty of talents, and should let Heihyun have this one.

The day went by, with lunch being eaten and the afternoon spent having more fun up in Jisung's room. The early evening was starting to close in around the outside sky, which had turned a hazy lilac colour, making the clouds look dark against the otherwise light backdrop.
Jisung switched on his phone to check the time. It was just coming up to 6 O'Clock, yet Minho still wasn't back yet. The younger worried that the kids hadn't eaten since midday, and they really should be heading on home.
"Felix," Jisung said, "I think we should take them back to their house now." Felix was sat declined back against the wall, with Heijin to his left and Heihyun to his right. They had been invested in a book on riches and insane parties that wealthy people threw, but the snowy haired boy shut it as he too peered outside.
"How far is it from here."
"Not too honestly, walking
takes about 20 minutes."
"Yeah.. they seem tired though,
I'll drive us instead."
"You sure Lix? Thank you."
"It's no trouble Ji, come on you two,
we're gonna take you home."
The older boys smiled at one another as they led Heijin and Heihyun out to Felix's car. They had each other as friends, and for the both of them that was something they were to treasure. The younger had gotten his first taste of babysitting, and the day had been unbelievably fun. Jisung, in that precious moment, couldn't believe how lucky he was to have all these people in his life. Felix, Heijin, Heihyun.. and especially Minho.
