Once back at Felix house, Jisung dropped exhausted on the sofa.

Chan and Felix sat down and Felix opened Netflix, but left Chan to choose something to watch and got up again to go to the kitchen.

"Hey Lix, are you bringing beer?" Chan asked hypocritically.

"Sure. Ji, would you like one too?"

Jisung looked at him a little uncertainly, but didn't want to be a killjoy.

"Sure."

Felix returned with three bottles of beer and two bowls of chips, put the chips on the sofa and pressed the bottles into the other's hand.

Faster than expected, the bottles were empty and Chan got up to exchange them for new ones.

Jisung sat giggling next to Felix and slowly slipped closer and closer to him. Felix had noticed that, but didn't really want to go into it as long as Chan was with them.

He had little desire to explain why Jisung was with him, even less why they were so close. Especially since he couldn't even really explain it to himself.

After Chan handed them the full bottles, Felix took Jisung's hand, but made sure Chan didn't see it.

He had already noticed that Chan had become aware and a little skeptical, but was grateful that he hadn't said anything about it so far.

Before Felix knew it, Jisung, who was clearly not used to alcohol, had drunk the next bottles.

The black-haired had meanwhile cuddled close to him and couldn't stop giggling.

"Lixie, may I have another beer?"

Felix watched him half amused, half skeptical.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea, Ji," he gently stroked his back.

"I think that's a good idea," Chan now also interfered in their conversation.

Ignoring his best friend's evil eye, he got up, went into the kitchen and returned again with full bottles.

"Chan..." Felix shook his head upset, but the older was not impressed by it and handed the full bottle to Jisung without a comment.

"Ji, maybe you'd stop drinking."

But he just shook his head giggling and drank a big sip.

"I want to have fun Lix. I haven't had as much fun as with you!"

Chan pushed Felix inconspicuously and pulled up his eyebrows.

"Don't you want to tell me what's going on here?"

"No, I don't want to. And please don't give him any more beer. I don't think he's ever drunk alcohol before."

Chan shrugged his shoulders.

"If you say so," he said laughing and turned to the film again.

"Lix, I want to eat something, shall we eat something?" Jisung asked slightly drunk.

"Do you want to eat the cheesecake now?" Felix asked with a smile.

Jisung nodded with big, shiny eyes and Felix got up to get the cake.

"Would you also like some Chan?"

"Home baked? Then yes."

After Chan's answer, Felix went to the kitchen and returned shortly afterwards with the cake and plates.

"Ji, would you like to cut your first cake yourself?"

He nodded happily, carefully picked up the knife and cut the cake.

Then he awkwardly distribute the pieces on the plates Felix had put down and let himself fall on the sofa again.

"Wow it turned out delicious," he noted in amazement.

Chan murmured in agreement and Felix could not deny that they had really succeeded in the cake either.

After the film was over, Chan got up yawning. He had given up his plan to get some information from the other two today.

"Lix, I think I'm slowly making my way home. I have to get out early tomorrow morning."

"Ok Channie, drive carefully! And let me know when you get home," Felix said concerned and pulled the elder into his arms.

"I'll be careful, little one. Don't you do nonsense, do you? And if you need something or want to talk, call me! Love you!"

Felix separated from Chan with a smile.

"I'll get back to you when I'm ready. Love you too!"

Jisung tried desperately to get up from the sofa until Chan finally shook his head laughing, reached out to him and pulled him up.

The black-haired hugged the older one.

"It was nice to meet you! And next time you take me to your studio and introduce me to your magic!"

Laughing, Chan hold the younger one close for a moment. Despite his initial skepticism, he actually liked him very much.

"I'll do it! Felix can give you my number, then we can arrange a date."

Giggling, Jisung broke away from him.

"See you soon Channie."

"See you soon Jisung. Lix, you'll get in touch, okay?!"

"I'll do it, see you soon."

Chan was gone with that, Felix closed the front door behind him and they were alone again.

"Ji, would you like to eat something else or do we want to go to bed? I also have to leave early tomorrow."

He looked at him waiting, while Jisung was still giggling busy playing with Felix fingers.

"To bed," he shouted and jumped up the steps cockily.

"Watch your foot!" Felix shouted after him shaking his head and followed him laughing.

Actually, he had been mad at Chan. He didn't want him to fill Jisung with beer, but the black-haired was just too cute drunk.

Arriving in the bedroom, Jisung dropped on the bed and pulled Felix with him.

He let himself fall on the bed with him and enjoyed the closeness of the other.

Jisung had cuddled close to him and closed his eyes while Felix had placed his arm around him and gently stroked his back.

"Lix, am I drunk?"

"Um, well. Maybe a little," Felix replied laughing and got up.

"I'll go to the bathroom. Don't do nonsense."

After Felix went into the bathroom, Jisung tried to get up awkwardly. He was terribly warm and he really wanted to take off his pants and sweater.

But instead of taking off his sweater, he got tangled in it and fell off the bed with a loud flop.

"Liiiix I need help," he shouted half whining half laughing.

Felix walked out of the bathroom worried and found the black-haired wrapped in his sweater lying on the floor.

"I told you not to do nonsense," he said with a laugh and freed him from the sweater.

Jisung stared at the blonde with big eyes. Felix had taken off his T-shirt in the bathroom and now only stood in front of him in boxer shorts.

Unconsciously, he licked his lips and raised his hand to touch Felix's muscles.

At the last moment Felix intercepted his hand.

"Ji, I think it's time for bed," he carefully pulled him up and gently pushed him back onto the bed.

"Liix, I wanted to take off my pants," the black-haired whined and trampled his legs.

"It's okay, stay still. I'll take off your pants, but then we'll sleep!"

Felix bit his lip to avoid a grin. How could he be drunk so damn cute?

He carefully took off Jisung's pants and then covered him with the duvet.

"I'll be right back, I just quickly turn off the light in the bathroom."

Jisung had closed his eyes when Felix came back into the bedroom and seemed to be asleep. Smiling, the blonde went to the closet to get a T-shirt out for the night.

"Lix, I want to cuddle!"

Felix turned around with a grin: "I thought you were already asleep. Can I put on at least a T-shirt?"

Although the answer sounded more like a "no", Felix put on a T-shirt, turned the light off and then let himself fall into bed.

The black-haired immediately slipped closer to him and put his arm over Felix's hip.

"Ji, that's drunk maybe not the best idea..." he said gently and tried to pull the other's arm away.

"Don't you like me anymore?" Jisung asked in a trembling voice and looked at him with big, sad eyes.

"But of course I still like you!" Felix immediately pulled him into his arms. "I just don't want you to do anything you could regret tomorrow."

Jisung pressed his face into Felix's neck.

"I would never regret having cuddled with you..." he snuggled unclearly and Felix believed to hear a soft sobbing.

"Ji..." he gently stroked his back. "It's all good. You didn't do anything bad."

"It's all my fault... Lix it's always my fault!"

Felix felt tears running down his neck. He pulled the black-haired even closer to himself and waited to see if he would say more.

"It was my fault that I survived the car accident and my mum didn't... I should have... I...", he broke off faltering.

Felix looked at him worried. He didn't really understand what was going on. Only the Jisung urgently needed affection and secureness.

"My dad hates me... he blames me for the car accident.... It's my fault..." he whispered quietly and even more tears ran down his face.

Felix gently stroked his back again and again.

"Is that why you have so many bruises? Because of your father?" he asked quietly.

Jisung's sobbing became louder. Then he nodded slowly and pressed himself even harder on Felix.

"Ji, you don't have to tell me all of this. Of course you are welcome. And I'll listen to you if that helps you! But you don't have to."

He gently kissed him on his forehead and then continued to stroke his back.

Jisung sat up awkwardly and looked at him with big eyes.

"Do you really like me...?" he asked doubtfully.

Felix couldn't suppress a soft laugh.

"Ji, if I didn't like you, I wouldn't let you sleep in my bed. I would probably have helped you anyway, but then you would definitely have stayed on the sofa."

With an uncertain smile, Jisung put himself back in Felix's arm. He enjoyed the company of the blonde very much and he felt very safe with him.

"Thank you..." he whispered quietly. "Thank you so much!"

"It's my pleasure!" Felix whispered back. "But maybe we should sleep now. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. And no, I don't want you to go somewhere else as long as I'm working! Make yourself at home! And now sleep well Ji!"

But he no longer got an answer. Jisung had fallen asleep cuddled close to him.
