The day began with Felix slightly stressed and Chan reassuring him every ten minutes. It was fine; everything was just in place and ready for their guests. 

Just as the doorbell rings, Felix jumps up. Chan reaches over, grabbing his wrist and squeezing it softly so Felix looks at him.

"It'll be great," he says one last time. "Don't stress too much." Felix nods quickly, pulling his hand from Chan's grip

"It'll be great," Felix echoes to himself. 

Yall, if this isn't nearly enough foreshadowing I actually don't know what is.

Felix opens the door and six voices immediately fill the air. Felix can hear four different conversations taking place, not to mention how Jisung's voice raises above the others to yell: "We're here!!"

Yes, like it wasn't obvious.

They all pile into the house, not paying attention to Felix or Chan as they respectfully take off their shoes. That's the only respectful thing they did.

Jisung and Changbin both run over to the kitchen in search of food, oblivious to Minho chasing Hyunjin around the room for his shoe back.  Jeongin's already taken up half the couch, and Seungmin is awkwardly standing by the door next to Felix.

They make eye contact and Seungmin holds out the cardboard box he's carrying. 

"It's everyone's gifts for today." Felix nods, cringing as he hears a crashing sound. Whipping around, he sees Jisung and Changbin frozen. 

"WHAT THE HELL, BRO?" Jisung points at Changbin, his hand covering his mouth. He jumps up, looking for Chan and pointing at Bin again. "He did it!"

"I did not! He did it!" The two continue to point at each other. Chan takes Jisung's hand and points it to the pantry.

"Don't care. The broom's in there." Chan makes his way to Felix and Seungmin, taking the box. He turns to Felix. "Deep breaths. It'll be fine."

Felix widens his eyes at Chan. "Don't lie to me."
