The live started with all eight members squeezed together, excitement buzzing as comments flew across the screen.

“Stray Kids, we’re back!” Chan grinned, waving.

Felix sat beside Hyunjin, legs casually stretched out, his expression calm,too calm. Hyunjin didn’t notice, he was busy leaning over Lee Know, laughing at something on his phone, shoulder pressed against him.

“What are you two doing?” Changbin asked suspiciously.

“Hyunjin is showing me fan edits,” Lee Know replied, smirking. “He said I look better than him in this one.”

Felix’s eyes flicked over, sharp and a little dark. Hyunjin complimenting someone else? On live? Right next to him?

Chan started discussing the album concept for KARMA, but Felix’s attention drifted back to Hyunjin… who was still leaning a bit too close to Lee Know.

The chat noticed immediately:

“Why is Felix staring at Hyunjin like that???” “UH OH jealous Lix???”

Felix shifted closer, placing a hand on Hyunjin’s knee, casual, like he always did, but the pressure was firmer. Intentional.

Hyunjin looked down at the hand, then up at Felix’s face. “You okay?”

“I’m good,” Felix said, voice calm, eyes steady. “Just thought I’d remind you where you’re supposed to sit.”

Lee Know snorted. “He’s jealous.”

“I’m not,” Felix answered smoothly, still not looking away from Hyunjin.

Hyunjin’s lips curved into a slow smile, the kind he only ever used with Felix. Without hesitation, he moved, settling fully beside Felix again. Their shoulders touched, this time because Hyunjin made it happen.

“Better?” Hyunjin murmured.

Felix didn’t smile, but his hand slid off Hyunjin’s knee only after a second too long. “Much.”
