time skip to korea

felix laid there staring at his girlfriend. moving the loose hair strands out of her face, he smiles to himself. "you're so beautiful, even when you sleep," he whispers.

careful to not wake her, he sits up on the bed slowly before standing up.

"where are you going?" he hears her ask.

"sorry i didn't mean to wake you," he turns around to look at her, "i'm just going to the bathroom. go back to sleep baby."

she faintly groans and drops her head back on the pillow, closing her eyes. laughing to himself, he turns back around and walks to the bathroom.

walking back to the bed, he sees that kiyia is wide awake. "i thought you were sleeping?"

she shakes her head, "i'll stay awake with you."

sitting back down on the bed, he leans back against the headboard, "you don't have to. i know that the plane ride was long and tiring."

shrugging her shoulders, she lays her head on his chest, "i'd rather talk to you, i can sleep later. besides, you have to do something in a few hours with the group. i'd rather enjoy my time with you right now and sleep later."

"you're an angel," he kisses the top of her head, "i missed you so much."

"i missed you too," she quietly laughs, "i still can't believe that i'm here right now."

"honestly, me either. i was a bit shocked when chan brought up the idea to pay for the plane tickets."

"it was his idea?"

"yeah. i mean, i mentioned trying to help but he was the one who said that we will buy the plane tickets if you two got your own hotel rooms."

"i don't deserve you all," she looks up at felix, "seriously, what did i do in my past life to get this lucky?"

"maybe in your past life, we were together. maybe it's just fate bringing us together once again," felix smiles.

seeing her face redden, he laughs and caresses her face, rubbing his thumb along her flushed cheek, "you're beautiful."

burying her face in his chest, she whines, "stop."

laughing once more, he stares up at the ceiling. if he thought that he would end up with someone like this, he would have made that twitter account so much earlier. kiyia was indeed the love of his life.

"what are you thinking about?" she asks as she looks back up at felix, "you look like you got something on your mind."

looking back down at her, he grabs her arms and sits her up. sitting up himself, he turns his body so he's facing her.

"a few months ago, i didn't feel like i belonged in this group," he breathes in, "i always felt like the least loved member. the one people just kind of put up with. my korean wasn't that good, and i was struggling at first. i still do sometimes."

"felix, no," she touches his arm.

"wait," he continues to smile, "but all of that changed when i met you," he smiles, "you were the one who showed me what it was like to truly be loved. whether it was just fangirling over your bias, or spending time with me by my side. you were the one who changed the way that i think for the better. i'm a lot more positive about life now."

seeing his girlfriend tear up, he quickly leaned forward, pulling her into a quick hug, "you're so special to me."

pulling away from the hug, he wiped away the tears on her face, "please don't cry. i didn't mean to make you cry."

"i just," she stutters, "i love you so much. i'm so emotional, oh my go-"

cupping her face, he leans down pressing his lips against hers.

whispering against her lips, he smiles, "thank you for showing me what love is," he kisses her once more, "i love you."
