Chapter Text
“Lino I can’t find my goggles!”
“Innie where’s my scarf?”
“Hyunjin you stole my portable charger!”
“Everyone sush I’m getting a phone call!” The idols all stop in the middle of their chaos as Chan puts his phone on speaker.
“Hello, Bang Chan here.”
“ Chan-hyung it’s Jongho !” Everyone bursts into hello and greetings at the voice of ATEEZ’s maknae.
“How are you doing?” Chan yells over the screaming.
“ Pretty good. Also I’m using Hongjoong-hyung’s phone .” Everyone goes silent. Jeongin is the only one that starts speaking.
“That’s an excellent idea, hyung. I should do that with Chan’s phone,” he says followed by an evil little dimpled smile. Hyunjin yelps and hugs his boyfriend.
“Jongho what have you done you’ve filled his head with evil little thoughts.”
“ Hyunjin-hyung I’m sorry ,” Jongho responds.
“ Mingi he has my phone !” Hongjoong’s voice butts into the conversation.
“ Bye everyone we’ll see you at the resort and now I must run .” Jongho hangs up and the room burts back into the previous chaos of finding everyone’s stuff for the ski trip. Chan let’s out a disappointed sigh and tucks his phone into his pocket.
He feels a small tap on his shoulder and turns to see Felix dragging his suitcase behind him and his Nintendo Switch in his other hand.
“I know where all of their shit is,” he tells the leader. Chan blinks.
“Well then you little rascal, be my guest to tell these idiots,” Chan says followed by a chuckle. Felix puts his stuff down and clears his throat. He cups his hands together and shouts.
“Everyone shut the hell up I know where your bs is!” Everyone quiets down and turns their heads towards Felix.
“Jisung, your goggles are in your bag remember? Seungmin, I stole your scarf. Don’t worry I’ll give it back to you once we get there. And yes, Hyunjin did steal your portable charger,” Felix comments.
“I knew it,” Changbin growled as he threw a dirty glare at the purple haired idol. Felix claps his hands together.
“So if that’s settled, I’ll be in the van.” Felix picks up his stuff and exits the dorm and heads off the first floor. He waves to people as he passes by them. He gets himself to the van and puts his stuff away.
Felix takes a seat in the back and pulls out his phone. He decides to call Wooyoung before anyone else comes. It’s been a while since they spoke. Everyone was grateful that they had this opportunity to have a five week vacation away from prying eyes and cameras.
A nice break from their hectic schedules and long night practices.
Felix swings his legs back and forth as his phone rings and he waits for an answer from Wooyoung.
“ Lixie ?”
“Hi Wooyoung-hyung,” Felix chirped.
“ Hi. Are you guys going to leave soon ?”
“Yep. I think in about ten minutes. What about you guys?” Wooyoung is silent for a moment.
“ Uhh… shit happened. Mingi is currently hugging Jongho to death and San is trying to stop him ,” Wooyoung informs him. Felix clicks his tongue.
“I heard the commotion over the phone. Reminds me of the Stray Kids dorms.”
“ Like birds of a feather .” Felix nods his head (even though Wooyoung can’t see him do so). Felix leans his head against the window and puts the phone in his lap.
“I can’t wait to see you again,” he says in a low, soft voice.
“ Me too, it’s been too long, Felix-ah ,” Wooyoung responded. Felix hears muffled noises. “ Looks like everyone’s ready, have to go now. See you at the hotel .”
“See you Wooyoung-hyung. I-” Wooyoung hangs up, leaving only Felix and his thoughts. He puts his phone in his pocket and pulls his knees to his chest.
“I love you,” Felix whispers. But he could never admit it. If things were different, maybe he could utter those words without fear.
Maybe in a perfect world that could happen. Maybe in a world where Wooyoung didn’t just see him as a cute younger brother. Felix buckles his seatbelt, closes his eyes, and falls asleep.
Wooyoung and San rush out the door to catch up with the rest of their members.
“This is what you get for trying to fit all of your face masks in one bag you idiot!” Wooyoung yelled at San.
“Well forgive me if I want to look young and youthful for Seonghwa!” San yells back.
“We’re getting off topic. Let’s discuss something that isn’t your skincare routine.” San grinned mischievously, an evil glint in his eye.
“So why was Bokkie-ah calling you?” Wooyoung starts running faster and jumps over the threshold of the automatic sliding door once it opens. His suitcase bounces and continues rolling over the cement. Yeosang and Yunho are waiting next to the van. Mingi, Hongjoong, and Jongho were already inside.
Wooyoung passes off his suitcase and jumps into the car, sitting himself down next to Mingi.
“If San comes, tell him I’m asleep,” he alerts his friend. Mingi arches an eyebrow.
“Felix called?” he asks. Wooyoung let out an annoyed groan.
“Yes but you guys keep assuming I want to kiss him!”
“That’s because you do,” Hongjoong calls from his seat. Wooyoung yelps and covers his face in embarrassment. He can hear Jongho turn to Hongjoong and mutter something about how stubborn he is.
“Don’t worry, Wooyoung. We won’t tease you about your crush,” Mingi says with a wink. Wooyoung uncovers his face and chuckles.
“Wow, really reassuring.”
“Jokes on you I’ll never stop!” San’s voice echoes from outside the van. Wooyoung sighs and dips his head.
“This is going to be a long trip, isn’t it?”
Yeosang makes his way into the van and nods. “Yes, yes it is.”
