Felix lips lay hot on Jisungs. At first, the black-haired male did not know how to react, but seconds later he was run over by a wave of feelings and pushed himself towards the blonde.

With a slight grin, Felix opened the buttons of Jisung's shirt and gently stroked his upper body.

The black-haired moaned and Felix immediately took the chance and involved him in a deeper kiss.

Jisung grabbed Felix's T-shirt a little cockily and pulled it over Felix's head after he nodded in agreement.

Seconds later, Felix lips lay on his again. Jisung couldn't really decide what he wanted. Kiss Felix, or admire his body.

Inquiringly, he run his hands over Felix's upper body, while he was involved in a tongue kiss by the blonde.

He felt Felix hand slowly pushing onto his boxer shorts. He bit his lower lip, while the blonde left a wet trace of kisses on his neck.

Moaning, Jisung clawed to the bed sheet.

"Ji!"

Now, again, Jisung could not resist a grin. He loved it when Felix called him that.

"Ji damn it!"

Confused, Jisung finally frightened and sat upright in bed seconds later. He looked at Felix with big eyes, who squatted in front of him in bed and looked at him worried.

"Is everything okay? I think you had a nightmare again," Felix said anxiously and pulled him to himself.

Glad that his face was hidden on Felix's shoulder, Jisung felt him blushed bright red at the moment. His face felt boiling hot and he would have liked to have buried himself somewhere.

Felix stroked his back again, then let him go and looked at him questioningly.

But Jisung had little desire to explain to him that he hadn't had a nightmare, but had an extremely hot dream with a certain blonde in the leading role.

"I... um... I can't remember exactly what I dreamed," he said evasively and fixed a small stain on the bed linen so as not to have to look at Felix.

"Hmm ok. What do you think we still have over half an hour before we have to get up, cuddle?"

Jisung would have loved to cuddle with him, but unfortunately he was quite aroused by this damn dream and he didn't necessarily want Felix to know.

In the absence of real alternatives, he let himself sink back into bed, but tried to turn his hip away from Felix as far as possible.

Felix had also let himself sink back into bed and cuddled up to him.

Jisung hardly dared to breathe. Felix had put his hand on his stomach but because of him slipping back and forth to find the right lying position, his T-shirt had slipped up.

Felix didn't seem to bother. He painted gentle circles on Jisung's skin with his fingers and had no idea what he was doing to the black-haired male with it.

He loved the feeling of Felix's gentle fingers on his skin, but it didn't help him to relax.

He had already noticed the morning before that his feelings for Felix were changing, but after the dream and the feeling that the blonde now left behind in him, he was damn sure...

He had fallen in love with Felix.

He bit his lip just in time to suppress a moan. This time not with excitement, but rather slight despair.

"Ji, is everything really okay? You seem so tense," Felix muttered with his eyes closed. He had stopped painting circles, but his hand was still on Jisung's stomach.

"Oh, I don't know either. Maybe the dream," Jisung murmured.

"Hmm," Felix snuggled up a little closer to him.

Jisung gave in to temptation, put his arm around Felix and also closed his eyes.

A few moments later, they had fallen asleep again cuddled up close to each other. And neither of them heard the alarm clock that rang half an hour later.

Felix startled as his phone rang because of Chan calling him.

"Hey Lix, is Jisung not coming to the studio today? I actually thought it went well yesterday. Or did the grouch Chanbing scare him?"

"Hmm," Felix murmured overslept and understood only half of what Chan was saying. "It's still far too early to work... you would know that if you actually would slept sometimes!"

"Felix, it's ten o'clock in the morning!" Chan said half amused, half surprised.

"WHAT?! Fuck! Ji, we have to get up!" he shouted and gently shook the black-haired, who sat up as confused as Felix felt.

He had already jumped out of bed and had started getting dressed hastily.

"We are almost on our way. See you soon."

Jisung rubbed his eyes tired and got up. Although he wasn't quite sure what was going on, he certainly understood that he had to get dressed.

Felix went down and had let Haneul into the garden and filled her food bowl.

After Haneul was back in, Felix locked the back door and then waited for Jisung, who came down the stairs quite sleepy moments later.

"What's going on?"

"We overslept," Felix replied a little rushed. "Come on, we have to go. We can buy something for breakfast on the way."

Jisung put on his shoes and jacket drunk and then followed Felix to the car.

"Coffee would be enough for me," Jisung murmured, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible and closed his eyes again.

With a smile, Felix watched him for a moment and then set off. On the way to Chan's studio, he stopped at his favorite café, got coffee for Jisung and a milkshake for himself.

Felix parked in the parking lot in front of Chan's studio and gently shook Jisung to wake him up.

"Ji, we are there."

Sleepy, Jisung opened his eyes and yawned. This time he had slept deeply without dreaming and actually just wanted to go back to bed with Felix.

But then he realized where he was and suddenly woke up.

"We're already there."

With a smile, Felix watched Jisung's eyes begin to shine and knew that he had done just the right thing when he brought Jisung here.

"Here, your coffee. Get in touch if something should happen. Otherwise we'll see each other later," Felix leaned over to Jisung and pulled him into his arms. He could just stand again to press a kiss on the forehead of the black-haired.

Jisung got out of the car with a smile, waved farewell to Felix and then ran into the building.

~~~~~~~~

Felix went to work with rather mixed feelings. What he enjoyed was giving the courses and not the endless paperwork. Maybe he shouldn't have taken over the position of manager after all.

Pondering, he drummed around on the steering wheel.

Finally, he dialed his mother's phone number from an impulse.

"Hey mum, tell me, could you take Haneul over the weekend? Chan has a lot planned this weekend and needs help, so I probably won't be home most of the time."

Felix usually told his mother the truth, but he didn't have the time today to explain to her long and wide how everything had come and why he wanted her to take over the dog.

"Hello darling, of course, no problem. I would pick her up at noon today if that works for you."

"That would be great. I'm in the studio until tonight, but you have a key. Thank you Mum, I owe you something!" Felix said with a relieved sigh of relief.

He knew very well that the dog had been neglected the last few days and had a terribly guilty conscience about it.

And he knew that his mother loved the dog. In addition, it was agreed from the beginning that his mother would take over her if Felix had little time.

"Gladly, my darling. Get in touch if anything should happen. And otherwise we'll talk on the phone on Sunday. I love you!"

"Me too, Mum, see you soon," Felix ended the hands-free function with a smile and turned on the radio.

Felix parked with a slightly better mood, grabbed his bag and milkshake and ran to the studio.

With relief, he found that his boss was not there and therefore hadn't noticed that he was late. However, this also meant that he had to work longer again today.

Felix sat down at the desk sighing. Actually, you could hire an office worker for something like that.

Somewhat surprised, Felix realized that yesterday he had made better progress than expected.

~~~~~~~~~

After Felix said goodbye to him, Jisung ran into the building in a good mood and entered the elevator. He could hardly believe that he had been here for the first time yesterday. It felt familiar and damn good at being here.

Unlike Felix, he did not simply storm into the studio after knocking, but waited until he heard a quiet "Come in" from inside.

Smiling, he went to the studio just to see that Chan wasn't there and only Changbin was sitting in front of the computer.

"Oh hay. Where is Chan?" he asked, sitting a little uncertainly next to Changbin. He couldn't really assess the older.

"He wanted to meet someone briefly in the canteen," Changbin said with a gloomy face and looked at Jisung somewhat reproachfully.

"Is Felix still here?"

Jisung looked at him enthusiastically.

"No, Felix drove directly to his work. We were already late anyway. Why would he meet Chan downstairs when I'm up here?"

"Well, maybe just because you are up here?" the older one asked reproachfully again.

"Sorry, but what nonsense! And as I said, Felix drove directly further. He was down from the parking lot before I was in the building. In addition..." Jisung abruptly broke off the sentence and was angry about Changbin and himself. Why did he justify anything?

"What's that all about? Did Felix do anything to you?"

Changbin stood up at the moment and his face darkened even more.

"Oh forget it!" with a bang he closed his notebook, jumped off his chair and left the studio.

He almost banged the door at the head of an astonished Chan, who apparently just wanted to come to the studio.

"Is everything okay?," he called after him, but Changbin just snorted at him furiously and had disappeared.

Chan sat down with Jisung in amazement.

"I think that's my fault..." he whispered quietly and scratched his leg nervously. "But I now know what you mean by stinging against Felix..."

Chan watched him for a moment, then leaned over to him and held his hand tight.

"It's not your fault that he behaves like an idiot right now! He did that before you came here... And besides, you are a great help to me! Come on, let's start working. We still have a lot to do by the end of next week."

"Well, if you think so...", still a little unsettled, Jisung turns to what was on the computer screen.

"Chan, are we actually going to record demos?"

"Sure, not for next week, but definitely afterwards. And when I've officially introduced you to our team and the manager agrees with it, it really starts."

Jisung swallowed. That sounded like a lot of work, but even if a small part of him was still not sure if he would make it, he was really looking forward to the new challenge and once again had the feeling that he had was where he belongs to since he met Felix.

After working for a few hours, Chan pushed his chair back.

"I have to get out of here for a moment. Have you eaten something today?"

Jisung shook his head. "No, we didn't have time for it, since we overslept."

In memory of the morning and the dream about Felix, he immediately blushed.

"Well, come on, let's go out for something to eat," Chan said with a smile.

When they arrived in the canteen, they sat down at the same table as the previous day.

For a moment, Chan watched Jisung poking around in his food, but then could no longer withstand it.

"What's wrong with you Jisung? You seem somehow more stressed than yesterday. If it's because you overslept, don't worry, that can happen to anyone."

Jisung shook his head and carefully looked up. But seconds later, he lowered his head again.

"That's not the point..." he looked at the older one insecurely. He knew that Chan also had secrets from Felix, but that was something else. After all, Chan wasn't secretly in love with Felix.

And suddenly everything broke out of him.
Why he ran away from his father. How Felix had found him in the forest and welcomed him. And how he himself, without really realizing it, fell in love with Felix.

Depressed and somehow sad, he looked at the older one. "I don't want to lose Felix again just because I was so stupid to fall in love with him. For the first time since my mother died, I feel safe again."

Chan smiled at him understandingly. "I understand how you feel..." he murmured.

Jisung looked confused, but Chan didn't give him time to ask any questions.

"You won't lose him! I don't know exactly what he feels for you, but even without talking to him about it, I know that he likes you very much! I haven't seen him so happy in a long time. So whatever that is between you, it's good for both of you!"

A little smile appeared on Jisung's face. "Do you think so?"

The older one nodded smiling.

"Come on, let's go working again. And look for Changbin's ass first. He should continue to work if we want to have done everything by next week."

Jisung took the trays away and when they stood together in the elevator, he was surprised that Chan pulled him into his arms. Sighing, he put his head on the shoulder of the elder for a moment.

"Thank you for listening to me!"

"That's what friends are for!" Chan stroked his back with a smile and they broke away from each other when the elevator door opened.

In front of it stood Changbin, who looked at them aghast and angry.

"First Felix and then his little boy toy or what?!"

Chan stared at him in disbelief and then punched him in the face with his flat hand.

"Changbin that's enough! I'm tired of listening to it! I don't know what's going on with you lately, but neither Felix nor Jisung deserve that you behave like that towards them! Apologize or you don't have to come back to the studio!"

He walked angrily past him and pulled a speechless Jisung with him.

~~~~~~~~

Changbin felt tears gather in his eyes and eventually run down his cheeks.

He had screwed it up. Again.

This damn jealousy that simmered hot inside him and came over him every time Chan even looked at another man.

Changbin actually liked Felix. How could he not. But it drove him crazy every time how lovingly Chan treated him.

And Jisung was also a dear guy who had done nothing but show up here and crowd between Chan and him.

Changbin would have liked to have punched his fist through the wall when he felt the anger boiling up again in him.

Jisung was not to blame for the situation and actually it was really fun to work with him. He brought new ideas and perspectives to the team and Changbin knew that he was just the right person to get ahead.

Sighing, he wiped his tears off his face and only now noticed how much his cheek was burning. Chan had caught him properly and the memory that he had beaten him hurt a lot.

But it was all useless. This one time he had to swallow his damn pride and apologize. He had behaved quite wrong and he didn't want Jisung to feel bad about him.

~~~~~~~~~

Chan pulled Jisung with him to the studio and slammed the door behind them. Still stunned, he let himself sink onto the sofa behind his desk. With clenched fists, he had to inhale and exhale deeply several times so that the anger was no longer too present in him.

Then his gaze fell on Jisung. The black-haired stood in the middle of the room with a trembling lower lip and tears ran down his face.

Sighing, he got up and pulled him to the sofa with him. The younger trembled all over his body while trying hard to suppress his sobbing.

"Hani... please don't take what the idiot said in his frustration too seriously," he gently stroked over the back of the younger one.

"I-I'm not a boy toy... We haven't even kissed yet..." he pushed out sobbing and buried his face on Chan's shoulder.

"I know. And Felix would never see you like that or treat you like that. Changbin is just a fucking asshole and he deserves me to beat him up properly. But actually I don't like to beat other people."

Chan still shook his head furiously. He just couldn't understand why Changbin behaved like that. Until a few weeks ago, everything had been fine and suddenly, after spending two really nice days together, he behaved like an asshole.

Sighing, he ran his hands over his face when he heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," Chan pushed out pressed.

With his head down, Changbin came in and knelt in front of Jisung. With tears in their eyes, the two looked at each other.

"I- I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said that...! I don't have the right to speculate about your relationship or to talk about it in such a way... I'm glad you're here and we're working together. Felix is lucky to have you in his life... and so can we...!"

Changbin lowered his head again and wiped his tears from his face.

"I-I accept your apology..." Jisung whispered and leaned against Chan again.

Changbin felt the anger boiling up in him when he saw that, but he bit his teeth tightly and took a deep breath.

He couldn't lose Chan. And if he gave free rein to his anger now, Chan would kick him out of the studio and out of his life. And that would break him.

"I want you to apologize to Felix too! And I will watch you very closely in the near future!" Chan still looked at him angry while he stroked the youngest's back.

"Do you think you can still work today, or would you rather go to Felix?"

"Continue working... Felix would only get upset about it and he still has enough work to do himself... I've already stopped him enough of it this week..." Jisung murmured unhappy.

Chan gave Changbin an evil eye under which the black-haired man slumped  noticeably. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

"Come on, let's see if there's cheesecake in the café next door. Maybe that can cheer you up a bit," Chan got up and pulled Jisung with him to the door.

"You stay here and work!" he said to Changbin and then left the studio with Jisung.

~~~~~~~~

Felix sighed relieved. He had done a lot of the work and it was just early afternoon. He had also worked through without a break, but he wanted to get away from his desk as soon as possible and every means was right for him.

But slowly his stomach became noticeable. He hadn't eaten anything except for the milkshake in the morning. But he didn't feel like ordering anything or cooking anything. Sighing, he pulled a protein bar out of his pocket. That wasn't the best opportunity either, but it would saturate him until dinner.

He decided to go out to eat with Jisung on his way home. Then he wouldn't have to cook anymore and at home they could just make themselves comfortable.

His smartphone vibrated and Felix looked at it surprised. Actually, he didn't wait for any messages.

Binnie
"Hey Felix... do you think you can finish work earlier and come to the studio? I was an ass and I think Jisung would be better off if you were here..."

Felix grabbed his smartphone and keys without hesitation and left the studio. After locking the door, he ran to his car and drove as fast as he could to Chan's studio.

Once there, he parked and immediately ran to the elevator. The receptionist looked after him in amazement, but since she knew Felix, she just let him continue running.

Once at the top, Felix opened the studio door without knocking and stormed in. But only a depressed Changbin looked up at him.

"What did you do to him?!" Felix asked angrily.

"I-I... I behaved like an ass...", the older murmured quietly and he finally confessed to Felix what had happened before.

In disbelief, the blonde stared at him. He was about to jump up and place a well-targeted kick on his face, but he tore himself together.

"You're probably not serious...! Do you even have any idea what he went through?!", tremising with anger, he turned around and was just about to open the door when it was opened and Jisung and Chan came in.

"Felix," Jisung whispered in surprise and almost flew into the arms of the blonde.

"I'm here baby," Felix whispered quietly and squeezed Jisung firmly to himself.

Jisung took a deep breath and Felix's familiar smell made him feel immediately safe, even if the blonde's words made him turn red.

Behind them, Changbin cleared his throat a little awkwardly.

"I... if you want, I would like to invite you to dinner... as compensation... I've been a fucking ass lately and I'm sorry," he murmured contrite.

Chan was still standing in the door watching the others with raised eyebrows, but Felix accepted the suggestion.

"We accept the apology, right Ji? But only this one time! If you behave like that to Jisung again, you will find out why I am a Taekwondo coach..."

Now even Chan had to laugh.

"All right, then let's break up here first," Chan closed his laptop and shut down the computer.

Together they left the studio. Once they arrive at the parking lot, they divide up. Chan and Changbin drove with Chan's car and Felix with Jisung in his.

Chan drove and had Changbin tell him the direction. Felix followed him, but he was just careful not to lose sight of Chan and not so much to where they actually went.

His gaze repeatedly slipped to the black-haired in his passenger seat, who was unusually quiet and looked kind of sad.

"Ji, is everything okay?"

Jisung shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

"Please don't take what Changbin said so seriously... I don't know what's going on with him at the moment, but usually he's very nice and caring. And I hope you know that I... that I don't see you... as a boy toy...!"

Jisungs abruptly turned his head around and stared at Felix.

"He told you what he called me?"

"Has he. And I've never seen him so depressed. He had tears in his eyes when he told me how he behaved. Not that that would make up for anything... but I think you should give him a second chance to see what the real Changbin is like. Not the grinch he has been lately."

Jisung took a deep breath and looked out of the car window for a while.

"I trust you Lix! And if you really think I should give him another chance, then I'll do it," he finally said.

Felix smiled and held Jisung's hand. The black-haired hesitated for a moment, but then he put his hand on Felix'.

~~~~~~~~~

The restaurant Changbin had chosen was really good. The food tasted heavenly. And after dessert, even Jisung shone all over his face again.

"I'm sorry to have to say that Lix, but the cheesecake was way better than the one we baked."

Felix looked at him laughing. He was pleased that Jisung was in a better mood again. He didn't quite trust peace yet and he caught himself again and again watching Changbin inconspicuously. And he noticed that Chan did exactly the same thing.

"Then we still have to work on ours. Do we want to drive home now? I have to go to the studio earlier tomorrow."

Chan nodded understandingly. "Bin will you come to the studio with me again? I remembered something I would like to work on."

Changbin shook his head tiredly. "I don't think I'd be of much help to you today. I'd rather come to the studio tomorrow morning. If I come with me now, I'll just fall asleep anyway."

"Well, then I'll drive you home and then to the studio," Chan said and smiled.

Changbin got up to pay the bill, while the others slowly went out.

In the parking lot, Chan took first Jisung and then Felix in his arms.

"Are you coming to the studio tomorrow," he asked Jisung.

"Sure."

Changbin hesitantly stretched out his arms. After thinking about it for a moment, Jisung let him hug him.

"I'm really sorry... and actually it had nothing to do with you... maybe... maybe we'll talk about it in peace..." the older one whispered so quietly that the others couldn't hear it.

"Okay. See you tomorrow," said the younger one with a smile.

Felix was also hugged by Changbin, but was not quite as peaceful.

"Bin, if you behave like such an incredible ass towards Ji again, then we're both no longer friends, no matter what Chan says."

"I know... and I'm really sorry," Changbin replied sadly.

"Okay. Then Grumpybin is a thing of the past. Hopefully he will stay there."

"All right, come on, Bin. Let's go. I still have something to do today."

Chan and Changbin got into the car and drove off.

"Then let's go home."

Hand in hand they went to Felix Auto. Before they got in, Felix Jisung pulled into his arm and pressed him against him.

"Are you sure you want to go to the studio tomorrow?"

Smiling, Jisung leaned to go Felix and took a deep breath.

"You are so protective... Thank you..." he whispered quietly and leaned his head against Felix's shoulder.

"Yes, I'm sure I want to go to the studio tomorrow. It's fun to work with Chan. I finally feel like I'm where I belong. And that I can start something meaningfully with my time."

"I'm happy about that! Very much!"

Smiling, Felix opened the passenger door for Jisung, ran around the car and let himself sink into the driver's seat.

~~~~~~~~

Finally arrived home, Jisung just wanted to let himself go to bed, but Felix pulled him into the bathroom with him.

"Brush your teeth, then you can go to bed," Felix said laughing while Jisung stood groping next to him.

Tired, Jisung leaned against Felix.

"All right, give it to me. I finally want to go to bed."

After brushing his teeth, Jisung was back in bed faster than Felix could look.

Laughing, he followed him, turned off the light and went to bed with Jisung.

For a moment Felix thought about whether the black-haired would cuddle with him tonight, after Changbin's stupid remark, but his thoughts were interrupted when Jisung cuddled close to him.

"Good night Lix," he muttered.

Smiling, Felix put his arm around the other.

"Good night Ji."
