★ _ S I X T E E N _ ★

Y/n stirred awake to soft warmth on her forehead - Felix, half-asleep, had just kissed her there.

felix: Morning *he whispered*

y/n: Mmm *she mumbled, curling closer into his chest*

y/n: What time is it?

He peeked at the clock.

felix: Way too early for your manager brain to start ticking.

But her brain already was.

She sat up slightly.

y/n: You guys have dance practice at 11, vocal check at 2, and a live stream at 6. Don't tell me to relax..

felix: You're literally the most hardworking person I know. Just five more minutes... *he groaned and flopped back on the pillow*

She smiled down at him, brushing his messy hair back.

y/n: You say that every day.

felix: And I mean it every day.

Just then - BANG!

The door flew open. Han stood there, hair sticking out in every direction, holding a piece of toast like it was a weapon.

Ham: DID YOU FORGET TO WAKE ME-OH MY GOD-WHY ARE YOU STILL IN BED TOGETHER?!

Y/n froze mid-blink.

felix: good morning, Han. *Felix sat up slowly, blank-faced

Han: Felix. Explain. Right. Now. *he gawked

Felix : We were just sleeping. *he yawned*

han: In the same bed.

felix: Yup.

Y/n pinched the bridge of her nose.

y/n: Oppa. We didn't do anything.

han: I-

Han looked like he aged 10 years.

han: You guys were KISSING last night.

felix: Also just lips, *Felix added helpfully*

han: THAT'S NOT-! Wait. What?!

Y/n: I have insomnia, remember? It's the only way I sleep properly. He just holds me so I can rest. *she groaned*

Felix: Swear on all my photocard versions, hyung. I won't ever do anything to her without her permission.*he said after nodding*

Han blinked.

han: ...You're so oddly specific.

Felix: So you trust me? *he smiled*

Han sighed, chewing his toast.

han: No. But I'm too tired to fight. And your hair looks like a wet cat's, so I feel superior again.

Y/n burst out laughing.

Felix leaned over and kissed her temple again.

felix: Go get dressed, manager-nim. You're on duty.

Y/n slid off the bed with a smirk.

y/n: Yes, but you're on my schedule today.

felix: Lucky me.

*TIME SKIP TO THE PRACTICE ROOM*

Y/n sat with her clipboard as the members rehearsed choreography. She called out timing corrections and praised sync points. Felix would sneak glances at her every few eight-counts, mouthing "love you," just to make her flustered.

y/n: Felix *she said, arms crossed*

y/n: You missed beat 6. Again.

felix: I was distracted *he grinned*.

felix: Something gorgeous was glaring at me.

Hyunjin: I'm going to request a separate practice room. *hegagged*

Y/n walked over and fixed Lee Know's mic.

y/n: Felix, focus. Or I'll ban boba privileges.

He straightened immediately.

felix: Yes, ma'am.

She turned to go back, but Felix caught her hand and pecked her lips so fast, no one could even react.

Except Han.

han: I'M RIGHT HERE.

*AFTER PRACTICE*

Felix pulled the van into the parking spot outside the dorms, glancing at Y/n beside him. She looked tired but happy - their boba cups were half-finished, and her hand rested quietly on his.

felix: Let's go inside and nap before the guys get loud again,*he said with a small grin.*

But just as they stepped out, the building's front desk called out.

Gaurd: Delivery for Miss Y/n.

Y/n blinked.

y/n: I didn't order anything.

gaurd: It was just dropped off - said it was from a fan, *the guard shrugged.*

Felix narrowed his eyes instantly.

Felix: Y/n doesn't take packages from unknown fans. We've talked about this.

Still, Y/n reluctantly took the small box. It was cute, pink wrapping, tied with a ribbon.

But the second she untied the ribbon and opened it - she dropped it with a gasp.

Cockroaches. Dead rats. Broken glass. And a folded note soaked in something dark.

Y/n stumbled back in shock, almost tripping, as Felix rushed to her and shielded her behind him.

Felix: WHAT THE- *he stopped, trying to hold back his fury as he kicked the box further away.*

She clutched his arm, tears in her eyes.

Y/n: This... this.... My hand is bleeding it hurts..

Felix's jaw clenched.

Felix: Stay behind me. We're going to the agency. Now.

*AT JYP OFFICE*

Y/n sat quietly, holding a bandage over her cut hand - one of the glass shards had nicked her when she opened the package. Felix paced, almost growling as he spoke to the head of security.

Felix: Whoever did this, i will not let them live in peace *Felix snapped.*

Felix: I want her blacklisted from this world

Y/n tugged at his sleeve gently.

Y/n: Lix... don't make this bigger-

Felix: No, Y/n. How dare them to hurt you. I let you walk around thinking people just 'don't like you.' But this? This is obsession.

He knelt beside her and took her hand carefully in his.

Felix: I swear, I'll never let anyone hurt you again. Not even by a scratch. If you get even one bruise, it should be from me hugging you too tight.

She laughed a little through the tears.

Y/n: You're so dramatic.

Felix: I'm not. You're my girl.

*TIME SKIP TO THE DORM*

The entire dorm was in chaos when the rest of the members got the news.

Changbin: SOMEONE SENT OUR MANAGER DEAD RATS?! WHO DOES THAT?! *He was pacing*

Lee Know slammed a soda can on the table.

Leeknow: I swear, if I find out who it is, I'll feed her one.

Seungmin: Okay... maybe don't go to jail for attempted cannibalism. *he squinted*

Hyunjin was the quietest, scrolling his phone with a pale face.

Hyunjin: There's a post trending... someone's spreading hate about Y/n. Accusing her of 'stealing Felix from fans.

Felix, who hadn't left Y/n's side the whole time, looked up sharply.

Felix: Let me see.

She tugged at his sleeve.

Y/n: Don't. It'll just make you angry.

He gently took her hand and kissed her bandaged fingers.

Felix: Too late for that, baby.

Bang Chan arrived last, his face unreadable. He looked at Y/n, then at the box now bagged in evidence.

Chan: From now on, no one touches fan gifts. Not even handwritten notes. Agreed? *he said, voice low but firm.*

Everyone nodded.

Then Chan knelt in front of Y/n and gently rested a hand on her shoulder and hold her hand with his other hand

Chan: You okay?

Y/n: I... yeah. Just shaken, *she replied honestly.*

Felix spoke up, voice more serious than they'd ever heard.

Felix: She's not just shaken. She's being targeted. We can't let this go like it's just a prank.

Chan: I'm reporting everything to the company and the legal team,This is sasaeng-level behavior.

*at night*

The room was too quiet.

Y/n sat curled up in Felix's hoodie on her bed, staring blankly at the cup of tea in her hands. Her fingers trembled slightly, her lip still bearing a tiny cut from the razor that had been hidden in the package.

No one spoke for a while. The atmosphere in the dorm was different tonight - heavier, quieter. Almost like the air itself was mourning.

Felix knelt beside her, placing a gentle hand on her knee.

Felix: Y/n... you don't have to be strong right now.

Y/n: I'm not, *she whispered*

Y/n: I was so scared, Felix. I didn't even open the box properly-just a tiny gap and everything spilled out. The cockroaches, the-*Her voice broke.*

Without a word, Felix pulled her into his chest, holding her like she might break.

Felix: You're safe now. I swear, no one's ever going to touch you again."

*MEANWHILE*

The other members sat in silence. Chan's jaw was clenched, his eyes dark with frustration.

Chan: I should've seen it coming, *he muttered.*

Chan: We all knew she was getting hate, but I ignored it. I thought... fans would calm down eventually

Hyunjin sat beside him, rubbing at his eyes.

Hyunjin: She didn't deserve any of it. Just for being close to us?

Han, for once, was dead quiet. He looked shaken, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the table.

Han: She treats us like her own family. And we couldn't even protect her.

Lee Know stood abruptly.

Leeknow: Whoever did this... they're going to regret it.

Jeongin nodded, unusually serious.

Jeongin: We're not letting this slide.
