Chapter Text

It was 3:50 am on the dot, when Felix woke up to his phone ringing nonstop. He groaned sitting up, while picking up his phone in the process looking at the caller id, before immediately picking up the phone. “This better be good if you’re waking me up at fucking 3:50 am.” Felix said, his tone slightly deeper than normal due to just waking up, but nothing the person on the other end wasn’t used to. “Yo! Dude! Remember that dude I keep gushing over?!” The male said, excitement noticeable in his tone.

Felix lightly hummed. “Lee Min-ho, correct?” He asked, even though asking should’ve been out of the question, because he was already aware. “Yes! Bro I have so much to talk about what happened!” The male said, as a squeal escaped from him. “Hannie, babe, if it’s that good, why are you taking forever to spill the tea!” Felix shouted, now getting a bit excited over what the now named male- Han- was going to say.

“Sooooo, you know how we’ve joked about if he’d ask me out at some point?” Han started, excitement continuously bubbling up in his stomach. On Felix’s end, it was silent for a moment, before a scream of pure happiness erupted from Felix’s end. “Did he finally ask you out?!” Felix shouted, but was soon met with silence. “Our first date is next week!” Han spoke, as another squeal escaped him, with Felix copying soon after.

“Ok but wait. You own a tattoo shop, ain’t no way he came into your store for that many tattoos babe.” Felix said, confusion laced in his tone. “So, the first time he came in. He did get a tattoo, but all the other times he showed up just to speak and hang out with me.” Han stated, which was soon followed by a confused noise from Felix. “At your tattoo shop? Couldn’t y’all have done that outside of the workplace?” Felix asked, which was followed with a light hum from Han. “Probably, but I’m not going to question.”

“Fair enough” Felix said, before a yawn escaped his lips. “Right-... I did wake you up pretty early for this..” Han said, as a small chuckle followed afterwards. “Ok- Fuck you- I’m going back to sleep.” Felix said, causing the male on the other end to burst into laughter. “You love me and you know it, Lixie” Han said, in a slight teasing tone. “Do I tho?” Felix asked, being just as teasing as the other. “Oh.. I see how it is” Han said, trying to act heartbroken, which only caused the pair to burst into laughter.

“Oh.. but you know” Han started, making Felix release a small hum in response. “He did tell me about one of his friends that I think you may take an interest in.” Han continued, waiting for a response from the other. Felix was silent for a bit, not knowing how to respond. “What’s with this?” Felix asked, getting more confused by the second. “Well, based on what he told me about his friend.. He sounds to be just your type, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵.” Han stated, waiting for a response from the other. “𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵? How so?” Felix asked, now a bit curious. “Well, you tend to go with shorter people or someone close to your height. You go with people who are caring, and sweet.” Han said, causing Felix’s mind to run wild on what the so-called 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵 could possibly be.

“The 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵 would be his height.” Han said, soon hearing a small gasp from the other male. “How tall is he?..” Felix asked, out of curiosity and shock. “He’s 5‘10, so like 3 inches taller than you-..” Han said, a bit nervous for the other’s reaction. “3 inches taller?! You’re joking?” Felix exclaimed, confusing Han on if it was a good or bad thing. “Is that a good or bad thing Lix?” Han asked, confusion laced in his tone. Felix was quiet for a little bit. Hell, even he didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing. He did know he never dated someone 3 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 than himself. So he was unsure on what to do with the information.

The silence was slowly getting overwhelming, and not in a good way. “Lixie?..” Han softly said, forcing Felix out of his thoughts. “I-I’m not entirely sure if it’s a good or bad thing. We both know I’ve never been with someone 3 inches taller. Let alone speak and befriend someone 3 inches taller..” Felix said, although it came out as a whine. “I know Lix.. but, why not try giving it a try? You may like him?” Han said, not meaning for it to come off as a question, but that’s exactly how it came off as. Felix soon let out a soft sigh. “Fine… but I have no way of getting to know him..” He said, hoping Han had a plan at least. “Well, Min did say he’ll try getting his friend to come to my shop either today or tomorrow.” Han said, causing Felix to start thinking.

“I will not be going, if Minho’s friend does ever show up, you can give him my contact info.” Felix said, causing Han to nod, not that Felix knew, but the male still found it nice that the other was on board. “Thank you Sungie..” Felix said, earning a soft chuckle from the other. “Of course Lixie.” Han said, before the call ended. Felix sighed before laying back in his bed, his mind still very much so racing. He tossed and turned in his bed, and soon let out an annoyed sigh as he couldn’t get comfortable anymore. ‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱..’ Was the last thing Felix thought of before passing out.

Felix woke up at around 4pm due to his phone blowing up, by who? Well, by none other than mister Han Jisung himself. He lightly groaned, before grabbing his phone, noticing a lot of messages from Han, and one from an unknown number. Which confused him, a lot that is. He sighed, before opening his messages with Han, reading the stuff he sent him, before immediately sitting up in his bed.

This left Felix speechless. He stared at his phone screen for who knows how long. He was confused and shocked. He placed his phone on his bed, before getting up and walking straight to his bathroom. He needed to clear his thoughts, and the best way he thought to do that was a shower. He stood in his bathroom for a good few minutes, before walking back to his bedroom to get some clothes, just to walk right back into his bathroom. He placed his clothes down on the sink counter, before walking over to his shower turning it on.

He stripped out of his clothes, before messing with the water to get it to the perfect temp, before stepping in and letting out a content sigh. “That unknown number can’t possibly be Minho’s friend..” He quietly said to himself, hoping to be right the moment he stepped out to check, but while he was in the shower, he decided to just get clean and respond back to Han when he got out. Which was 20 minutes later. He walked back into his room dressed but still drying his hair, as he picked up his phone to look and noticed Han texted him again. He sighed, unlocking his phone and going to his messages with the other.

He sighed, not knowing what to do, but in the end he opened up the messages with the unknown number. He wasn’t going to get his hopes up, but he did silently hope this person was actually how Han said he was.
