Did I forget to mention there was a time skip? Yes. Did I mess up the dates? Yes.
Really quick to fix it. It is December 22nd, so the bok tour actually start the 16th not the 19th.

"You're going to meet his grandmother?" Karina questioned.
"I was supposed to meet her the day we broke up, but you know we broke up," Felix said, fixing his sweater.
"Okay, but you two aren't together... unless I am missing something,"
"No, you're not. Viola said Hyunjin was going to ask and that his grandmother still wants to meet me, so you know I just decided, why not?"
Karina hummed and sat back on her bed.
"So, this isn't about wanting to be with him again?" She questioned.
Felix took a deep breath and turned to the woman, "After you fell asleep I went to check on him and Vi. Vi, was asleep, but he wasn't there. I ended up catching the last part of his conversation with my brother, he was talking about promise he made me when we were in Cape May. Promised to be by my side in my darkest hour,"
Karina nodded.
"And then I remembered the promise I made to him later that night and I could only think of the fact that I had broken tht promise over and over the past five years and if he ever knew..." Felix let out a breath and shook his head a little, "if he ever knew... he'd try to blame himself, when it isn't his fault,"
"What promise did you make?"
-
"Are you sure she'll even like me?" Felix asked.
"She loves you without even knowing you,"
"Are you sure?"
"She knocked me upside my head with her cane when I told her we broke up. She loves you," Hyunjin said.
Felix looked in the rear view mirror at Viola, "Is this true?" He questioned.
"He had to put a band-aid on his forehead," Viola said.
"You had to use a band-aid?"
Hyunjin nodded, "Gram, needed a new cane. I bought her one after it," he said, pulling into the driveway.
"You know, on second thought, I think that I'll just sit in here in the car," Felix said.
"Lix, It'll be fine,"
Felix took a deep breath and nodded.
"Did you bake cookies?" Hyunjin questioned, when he saw the contain Felix had.
"Don't judge. You know better than anyone that when I am stressed I bake. You're lucky I didn't have the ingredients to back a cake too,"
Hyunjin chuckled amd shook his head, "I love you so much,"
Felix's neck up to his ears flushed red.
"Ah, don't just say stuff like that..." Felix muttered.
Hyunjin hummed and shrugged, "Couldn't help it, you're just really cute,"
"We should go in," Felix said, quickly leaving the car.
Hyunjin followed. When he got to the door he knocked then unlocked it.
Viola was in first, followed by Felix, then Hyunjin.
"Gram, we're here," Hyunjin called out, helping Felix take his coat off.
"In the kitchen,"
"Of course," Hyunjin muttered.
"I heard that," she called out.
Felix laughed a little.
The three walked to the kitchen, dishes of food were laid out on the table.
"You didn't need to make this much," Hyunjin said.
"I didn't do it alone," the old woman said.
Hyunjin glanced around, "Is mom here?"
"Eh? No, she is in Australia,"
"Then who helped?" Hyunjin asked.
"Hey, Hyun. Long time, no see,"
Hyunjin turned around quickly, "Areum,"
The woman smiled, "No, hi?" She asked.
He smiled and laughed softly, "Just surprised is all. How are you? Last time I saw you, you were about to go to the Amazon,"
"I'm good. I actually just got back from a expedition in Egypt. How are you? Last time I saw you, you were just about to finish law school. That was what twelve years ago," Areum said.
"Yeah, somewhere around there. Uhm, things have definitely changed a lot. I almost got married-" "Not to Julianna right?" She questioned quickly.
"Oh no, to her. Uhm, actually, this is Viola, my daughter,"
Viola waved a little, Areum waved back.
Felix pursed his lips, feeling a little out of place.
"Felix what cookies did you make?" Viola asked.
He smiled at her, "Only chocolate,"
She pouted, "I guess I'll just wait until you come over Christmas to have the other ones,"
"Right, I completely forgot, Areum this is Felix Lee, I am currently his lawyer. Felix this is Areum Oh, she is my childhood friend," Hyunjin said.
Felix smiled a little, "Nice to meet you,"
"You as well. You are that writer who was just on some headlines regarding Andrew Park right?" Areum asked.
"Uhm, yeah,"
"I'm sorry. I have read your books they are good, I was just at the airport last night and it was on a magazine,"
"It's fine, uhm, it has apparently become a big thing," Felix said with a small chuckle.
"People love a good scandal especially when it involves that type of stuff. I think you handled it perfectly, especially since I assume Hyunjin was probably saying you should take legal action," she said.
"Some things can't just be solved with legal action, sometimes you just need to ignore the situation,"
"Nice dig," Hyunjin said.
Felix gave Hyunjin a smile, "We'll you annoyed me this morning, so yeah,"
"Ah, let's sit down and eat. Hyunjin, take the cookies and set them on a plate," his grandmother said.
Hyunjin went over to Felix and took the container.
"You look cute jealous by the way," Hyunjin whispered.
Felix raised a brow, "Who said I was jealous?" He questioned softly, walking away to sit at the table.
Hyunjin purse his lips and went to the kitchen.
Lunch would definitely be interesting.
