It's been about a month since Felix left, and slowly but surely, things were going back to normal for both Minho and the others and Felix. So now Felix walks the hall of his Australian high school with his friends as they head to lunch.

"No Mikey, it goes ice, tequila, then lime."

"Max you're wrong. It goes lime, tequila, and then ice. Felix tell him!" Mikey says with a pout.

"You both are wrong. It goes lime, ice, and then tequila."

"Oh my god! You are no help." Max says as they sit at their usual table. Felix just smiles and shrugs as he puts down his lunch tray.

"Hey guys." Josh says, sitting down next to Mikey.

"Hey Josh...and?" Felix trails off when he sees a girl sit next to Josh.

"Oh sorry, guys this my girlfriend Amelia."

"Hi guys. Nice to meet you."

"Welcome to the table."

"You have a girlfriend? Since when?" Max asks mockingly but Josh just glares at him.

"Wait you're that girl from the convenience store, aren't you?" Amelia turns to Felix and smiles.

"If you mean by one night last month you walked in and saw me working there than yes."

"Knew it." Felix says, snapping his fingers and eating his sandwich.

"Oh so you know my girlfriend?" Josh asks in a playfully protective way.

"Oh my god Josh, we've been over this. I'm not gonna steal your girl. I'm literally the gayest thing here. I am the rainbow flag." His friends crack up at his comment. Felix shoots a weak glare at Josh and continues eating.

"I know I know. Anyways, did anyone get what Mr. Smith was talking about with the 'Exponential Expression'?"

"No, it was confusing the shit outta me."

"Yeah same here. Felix probably understood it, didn't you?"

"Well yeah. I took a class where we had a whole unit on it back in Korea."

"Of course you did. You and your smart ass brain."

"Mate, since your so smart, could you be my cheat sheet for my history test."

"No." Felix deadpans.

Mikey whines. "Why not?" Felix rolls his eyes when Mikey gives him puppy eyes.

"Stop trying to do aegyo, you're bad at it."

"What'd ya say? We don't speak korean remember."

"Oh uh, sorry. I said that you can't act cute."

"Dang, just roasted me in two languages." The others laugh at this but Felix just puts up a smile. They all look up to see Lucas sitting with them.

"Hey guys, have you seen Maya?"

"No. Wouldn't you know? She's your sister."

"I thought she would be with you guys since I didn't see her with Jenna."

"Maybe she's home sick."

"Nah, her room was empty when I checked this morning. Whatever, I'm sure she's fine."

"Yeah she can take care of herself. Anyways, Lucas, did you do the science homework? Because I didn't finish it." Lucas looks up in shock at Mikey's question.

"We had homework?"

"Oh my god, you're hopeless." Felix shakes his head. "But I have to go now, need to meet with the counselor again."

"You're going there like everyday. What the fuck Felix?"

"Mhm, it's just family stuff. Don't worry about it." Felix stands and exits the cafeteria and walks towards Mrs. Burns office.

•••

"Hi Mrs. Burns." The lady looks up from her desk and smiles.

"Felix Lee, how are you?"

"I'm doing fine."

"That's good. I actually have something for you."

"Oh?"

"Mhm," Mrs. Burns says, taking out a box. "The sender is Lee Mi-Minho? Meanho? Minhoe?" She struggles to pronounce the name.

"Oh Minho. Yeah he's the cousin I stayed with in Korea."

"Oh, well he sent you something. Do you want to open it now?"

"Sure. As long as I get to be late to class." Mrs. Burns rolls her eyes.

"Just open the package you silly." Felix smiles and peels back the tape. The content of the box includes the following:

8 cards.
A CD titled 'Stray Kids'
An envelope
And another, smaller box

"Wow, is this like a care package or something?" Felix asks with curiosity as he takes each thing out of the box.

"Not sure. Let's open the letters though" Mrs. Burns takes out the letters and hands 4 to Felix. She opens one and looks at it in confusion. "Wait I don't know this."

"It's probably in Korean. Here let me see it." Felix takes the letter and begins to read it.

Dear Felix,

Hi hyung! Minho hyung said that he was gonna send you a box with goodies in it and he asked us all to write you a letter so here's mine. I finally got my braces off! There's a picture of me at the doctors on the CD. It's really nice to eat what I want now. And Hyunjin hyung got taller too! And his dancing got better. Seungminnie hyung And I went on a date a few days ago to the amusement park and it was so fun! I love you hyung!! Miss you and come back soon!

Sincerely,
Jeongin

"Aww Jeongin is so cute." Felix smiles at the letter and puts it aside. He grabs another one, this is from Jisung.

What up loser?

Bro do you know how sad both Minho and Chan are right now? I'm sure Changbin will write you a whole letter about it so here's mine on Minho. Bet his ass still goes to your room in the morning to wake you up. And also I hope you realize that I've practically moved into his house to keep him company so you better get your ass back to Korea as soon as possible, you hear? Jesus can't even keep track of you. Also don't block Minho, the rest of us yeah but not him. Not again. Ok? Well I'll see you soon bro. Love ya

-Jisung

Felix chuckles. "He's still weird, I'll say that." Him and Mrs. Burns continue to open the letters until there's one left.

"Oh look Felix, it's in English!" The boy takes the letter shakily.

Hi princess,

How are you doing over there? I hope
You're doing well. I know you blocked me but I'm not mad, I just want you to know that I love you so so so so so much and that I will always love you. I know that when you read this you will be hurting, but I'm hurting right along with you. The rest of the gang is keeping me in check so I don't try and fly to Australia. I almost bought a plane ticket actually~ anyways, I love you. Please unblock me, I miss your voice.

With all the love and uwu's,
Channie

Felix tears up as he finished the letter. "God I'm an idiot aren't I?"

"Oh you poor thing..who's the letter from?"

"My- my boyfriend back in Korea."

"You really miss the lad don't you?" (Yes the iconic line has been edited😔)
Felix only nods as Mrs. Burns wraps him into a hug. "It'll be ok, you're gonna study hard and graduate early and go back to Korea. And I'm going to help you."

Once Felix gets home, he immediately takes out his old childhood CD player, praying that it still works. Thankfully it does. Felix smiles and quickly puts in the Stray Kids CD. The film begins with Minho.

"Hey dipshit. Me and the rest decided to make this video for you so you can watch it whenever you feel like missing us. Because we miss you. A lot. Anyways, do you like the name Stray Kids? We all thought you would. Uhm so yeah, on with the video."

The clip ends and it switches to all his friends sitting Minho's kitchen and talking. Chan speak up first.

"Alright guys, so we need to plan this box for Felix. What do we want to add." He says as he takes out a pad and pen. The 7 boys + Nayeon discuss what they want to put in the care package, Felix smiles at the screen as tears roll down his cheeks. The clip ends with all his friends waving at the camera. Then it switches to a slideshow with images of everyone, the subtitles talking about what he's missed in the past few weeks. He laughs as there's a clip of Hyunjin sassing Changbin. He continues to watch the video. And then the final clip comes on. It's all the boys + Nayeon sitting in a circle and discussing the group name.

"Yeah But Stray Kids just sounds cool."

"I like The Dumbasses + Changbin though."

"No one agrees with you hyung."

"I like Stray Kids the most." Jisung days then turns to the camera and looks it straight in the eye. "What do you think Felix?" And with that, the video is over.

Felix shuts off the TV and crawls into bed and cried himself to sleep after sending Minho a text.

Felix:
Thank you hyung I love you
