The studio was buzzing with energy as Stray Kids filed in for the interview. Cameras flashed, lights adjusted, and Felix somehow found himself squished next to Changbin on the couch.
“Are you nervous?” Changbin asked, giving Felix a quick smile. Felix’s fingers found their way to Changbin’s arm, tracing a line that made him shift slightly. “A little,” Felix admitted, not taking his hand away.
Hyunjin, sitting right beside Felix, noticed immediately. His jaw tightened, and he folded his arms over his chest. The familiar heat of jealousy prickled through him, but he stayed silent, watching Felix inch closer to Changbin under the studio lights.
The interviewer’s eyes flicked toward Hyunjin. “And Hyunjin, how do you handle moments like this with your members?”
Hyunjin’s throat went dry for a moment. He forced a polite smile, keeping his gaze on the interviewer but feeling the tension beside him. “I… just focus on the group,” he said carefully, trying not to let the subtle interaction between Felix and Changbin show on his face.
Changbin’s cheeks warmed, a mix of amusement and confusion dancing in his eyes. “You’re… really touchy today,” he murmured softly.
Felix leaned just a little more, a cheeky grin tugging at his lips. “Maybe I just like being close to you,” he murmured.
Hyunjin swallowed, forcing another smile at the interviewer. He felt the urge to shift, to remind Felix that he was there too, but he held himself back. Instead, he watched Felix’s hand slide subtly along Changbin’s shoulder, his own hands clenching in his lap.
