*The Next Morning*

Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting a golden hue over the quiet room. The world outside had already begun to stir, but inside, time moved slower softer.

Felix stirred first, his eyes fluttering open to the sight of Y/n sleeping peacefully beside him. Her face was inches away, framed by messy strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek during the night. A small smile tugged at his lips.

He reached out gently, brushing the hair away from her face, careful not to wake her. But at his touch, her eyelashes fluttered, and moments later, her eyes met his.

Y/n: Morning... *said softly*

Felix: Good morning sleepyhead. *grinning sleepily*

She yawned and stretched, then instinctively snuggled closer into his chest.

Y/n: Is it really morning already?

Felix: sadly, yeah... but I wouldn't mind staying like this all day. *resting his chin on her head*

Y/n chuckled against him, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on his shirt.

Y/n: Schedules, interviews, rehearsals...

Felix: Shhh. Not yet. Just for a few more minutes, it's just us.

They lay there in peaceful silence, letting the world wait for once. Felix pressed a kiss to the top of her head, his hand gently rubbing her back.

Felix: I dreamt of you, you know.

Y/n: Yeah? What was I doing? *smiling*

Felix: Smiling... just like now.

She blushed, hiding her face in his chest as he laughed softly. Outside, birds chirped. The moment felt fragile and perfect.

Y/n: Let's always find time for mornings like this.

Felix: Deal. Is this our little Manager's order? *giggles*

Y/n: Exactly. It is *giggles*

They stayed wrapped in each other for a little longer.. two hearts beating calmly in sync, ready to face the world again. But for now, in this warm, sleepy morning glow, all that mattered was the quiet love between them.

Felix : i should go back to my room and wash up..

Y/n : i want you to stay with me *pouts*

Felix : aww,my little baby.. Dont worry.. Im here.. But its also getting late.. You have to washup too..

Y/n : okayy..

Felix : see you downstairs then..

Y/n : mhmmm

Then felix pecked her forehead and he stepped out of Y/n's room quietly, gently pulling the door behind him until it clicked shut. He rubbed the back of his neck, his hair still damp, the scent of her lavender body wash faint on his hoodie.

He didn't even get two steps down the hallway before bumped....literally....into Hyunjin.

Hyunjin : Woah-Felix?

Hyunjin blinked, eyes scanning Felix from head to toe.

Hyunjin : Why are you coming out of Y/n's room?

Felix : Uh... *froze*

Before he could come up with a believable excuse, Chan appeared from around the corner holding a protein shake.

Chan : Wait......did I just hear 'Y/n's room'?!?

Seungmin : Oh, this is going to be interesting..

Seungmin added from behind his coffee mug as he leaned against the wall.

Now all eyes were on Felix.

Felix : You guys are up early...

Hyunjin : That doesn't answer the question *he said, raising a suspicious brow.*

Felix : I was just.....uh, asking her something. Work-related, *he tried, but the flush on his cheeks betrayed him.*

Chan :Work-related?

Chan repeated slowly, clearly unconvinced.

Chan: At 7 in the morning? Looking like that?

Seungmin : Must've been a very important schedule. *said while sipping his coffee*

Before Felix could stammer out another excuse, the door behind him opened and Y/n peeked out with her towel wrapped around her hair, eyes widening slightly as she saw the scene unfolding.

Y/n : Oh... *she murmured*

Y/n : Morning, guys. *said softly*

Three pairs of eyes darted to her. And back to Felix.

And just like that, the teasing began.

Hyunjin : WAIT-NO WAY..

Hyunjin's jaw dropped, pointing between the two of them.

Chan : Did something happen last night? Felix...? *narrowed his eyes*

Felix looked at Y/n. She looked at him.

And then-he smiled.

Felix : I asked her to be my girlfriend, *he said simply, voice soft but proud.*

The hallway went completely silent.

Y/n stepped closer to Felix, her hand brushing his as she smiled shyly.

Y/n : And I said yes. *blushes*

Hyunjin dropped to his knees dramatically.

Hyunjin : I KNEW IT! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF LAST NIGHT."

Chan blinked slowly and then laughed, clapping Felix on the shoulder.

Chan ; Well, it's about time.

Seungmin just shook his head with a smirk.

Seungmin: You better not mess this up, Lee Felix.

Felix grinned and looked down at Y/n.

Felix : Never.

As the teasing turned into playful congratulations and half-hearted threats to

Everyone : treat her like a queen or else....

the tension melted into warmth. For the first time, they didn't have to hide. And that quiet love from the morning..

It was now seen.

And accepted.

(But still few of the members didnt knew about it.. What is going to happen next?)
