When Chan woke up, Jisung lay on top of him, while Hyunjin lay cuddled close to him.

And although he usually really needed more space to sleep, he felt surprisingly well rested and somehow in a pretty good mood.

When he straightened up as far as he could with Jisung on top of him, he noticed that Felix was awake and looked at him sleepily.

"So much for the place while sleeping," Felix giggled quietly.

"But it was worth it.. it feels nice," Chan whispered and smiled. "Good morning Lix."

"Good morning, Channie. Do we want to get up and make breakfast?" Felix asked yawning and sat up.

Chan nodded and gently pushed Jisung down from him, so that he lay next to Hyunjin, who immediately wrapped his arm around the younger half asleep.

"Seems like I'm easy to be replace," Chan sighed theatrically, but then had to giggle.

Grinning, Felix rolled his eyes, grabbed Chan's arm and pulled him out of the room. "Don't wake them up." He wanted to talk to Chan before the others woke up.

They had talked a lot about Chan and Changbin the night before, which had definitely been important, but Felix still had something that weighed on his soul.

He pulled Chan with him into the kitchen, but remained silent while his cousin prepared two cups of cocoa.

"Come," said Chan smiling, pressed Felix cup into his hand at the top and went ahead to the balcony. "I see that something is going on in your pretty head, little one."

He sat down on the bench to leave Felix the more comfortable place on the rocking chair, but to his surprise, the younger one sat down next to him.

"It's not easy for me to ask you that, but you said you like that we move closer together and feel comfortable with you..."

"Felix, just say it. You can talk to me about everything!" Chan said when Felix hesitated to continue.

"I got the incredible offer to accompany a group of students on an exchange to Australia the next semester. And would have to complete a training course of one week beforehand..."

Chan's eyes were shining when Felix dared to look at him. "Oh Lix, that's such a wonderful chance! You have to do it!" Chan said enthusiastically and reached for Felix's hand.

"Would you... could Jinnie live with you as long as I'm away? He says he can also get along alone, but we both know that he's not really doing that well when he's alone..." Felix muttered and leaned against the older one.

"What a question... of course he can live here. I mean, I need to ask Jisung first, but I think the probability that he doesn't like the idea is almost non-existent," Chan said giggling.

Felix breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of his cocoa. "Thank you," he whispered, leaning his head against Chan's shoulder. "As much as I love our life here, I still miss Australia insanely. The sea, the people..."

Chan nodded. He understood the younger all too well.

"And I think it would be quite nice to show Jinnie where I would be when I'm away... so yeah, if he wants to and Ji thinks that's okay, I would really love to come along," he said quietly and pressed his fingers into Chan's arm.

"I'm happy." Smiling, Chan wrapped his arms around the younger one and pressed a kiss on his temple.

"Do I get a hug too?" they heard a sleepy voice ask and looked up.

"Baby, good morning. Sure, come here!" Chan's smile became wider when he saw Jisung standing in the door frame.

"Good morning," Jisung muttered, sat down on Chan's lap and snuggled up to him.

Felix watched the two smiling for a moment, gently stroked through Jisung's hair and stood up. "I'm going see if Jinnie's awake."

Chan just nodded while Jisung held Felix's hand for a moment. "I didn't want to push you away," he murmured unhappy.

"You didn't, baby. I just have to talk to Jinnie about something," Felix explained and pressed a gentle kiss on the older's lips before he disappeared into the apartment.

"I should urgently work on my jealousy...," Chan murmured and shook his head with a grin.

"What? Why!?"

"I feel like I should be more jealous when you kiss other men," Chan said still grinning, pulled Jisung and kissed him.

"I can kiss him for you if you would like to work on it," they heard Minho say and looked up.

Jisung shook his head laughing. "Good try, Min."

Minho shrugged his shoulders with a sigh. "It was worth a try. I just wanted to let you know that Felix and I decided to order food. It'll be here soon."

"Thank you Minho," Chan said and smiled gratefully at the younger one.

Who just nodded and disappeared again.

"If... i-if that would bother you... you would tell me, wouldn't you?" Jisung asked uncertainly.

"Yes, baby! I promise!"

"I love you..."

"I love you too!" Chan said quietly, buried his fingers in the younger's hair and kissed him again.

Jisung closed his eyes and leaned against Chan again. He felt somehow overwhelmed with everything that had happened in the last few days and at the same time he felt incredibly safe and loved by Chan.

"It's so much everything right now... actually I would just like to run away again..." he whispered and hid his face on Chan's shoulder.

For a short moment, Chan thought about whether it was a good idea to tell Jisung about his idea. Not because he didn't want to take him to Australia, but because he didn't know how the younger one would react.

"Let's run away together. For the next two weeks. With Felix and Hyunjin," he whispered and pressed his lips against Jisung's neck.

"What do you mean?"

"We could fly to Australia. And yes, I know what you want to say now. But here it is kind of painful for both of us right now and not so easy to bear. Maybe it's quite a good idea if we would be somewhere else for a while."

Jisung looked up at him and Chan didn't really know what he had expected, but certainly not the hesitant smile on Jisung's lips.

"Is that a "yes," Chan asked, trying to hold back his joy.

Jisung hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "But only because you said that Jinnie would come along," Jisung giggled and jumped off Chan's lap.

Laughing, he ran away from Chan, who followed him with his arms outstretched towards him. "If I get my hands on you," Chan shouted with a laughing.

He knew exactly where Jisung would run.
