Felix

I sat quietly inside the office while Chan was serving me glares since Sunday. Minho glanced at me with a smirk. "Oh dear, is little Claire alright?" He nudged my elbow. "She is." I got flustered and felt Chan's glare grew stronger behind my back.

I heard the door close which means our leader left and I could breathe now. "What's up with boss?" Changbin finally asks which also made the others turn their heads to me. "Nothing. It's just Claire." I told them like it was no big deal. "If it's Claire, he's super bothered." Jeongin was right and he might have an idea why.

"Claire was just slightly swollen, why would he even be worried?" Minho sighs. "Swollen?! FELIX WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The rest stood up from their desk and yelled at me. Damn you ginger cat!

"Hey guys.."

"If you need help, I'm here." Changbin being the trusted friend for umm those stuff. I quickly grimaced at him and shook him off. "Her lips were swollen, you idiots." I confessed. They got rowdy about how and why it happened. I could feel myself roasting in front of the sun because of embarrassment.

"Oh yeah, Claire did say there was a huge mosquito in her room." Jeongin interfered. "Ah huge mosquito huh?" Changbin turned to me with a smirk. "Don't give Felix a hard time." Seungmin warned.

I left the hq after a long day. My shoulders are stiff from all of those data I need to interpret for the on-going mission. Desk job is never for me. I started driving towards home.

"Clay?" I stepped out of my vehicle to see her sitting by the porch. "What.. what are you doing here?" I walked towards her. "I missed you." She stands up and embraces me. "Why did you ignored me for the whole week?" She snarls.

"Huh? I didn't—I got classes yknow?"

"Felix." She pulls away. "Is it because of—"

I hurried grab her by the wrist and unlocked the door. I pushed her inside the house. "Alright." I sighed. "I'm sorry." I held her hands, slowly intertwining with her fingers. "Eh? Why?" She looked puzzled.  "I couldn't talk to you.. without seeing your brother's.. glaring." I admit it was terrifying as if it was a reminder that I feel threatened every day. She let out sigh, "Christopher."

"It doesn't mean I love you less, Clay." I slowly placed my head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."

"Hey. Don't apologize." She chuckles while caressing my hair. "It's Chan's fault for scaring you away."

"I'm tired." I stood up properly. "Can we lay down and chill? I'll cook later." I smiled weakly. Claire nods as she took me by the hand towards my room. I plopped on bed, "That feels good." my shoulders starts to feel a bit relieved. She snuggles at my side. "I was just sitting for the whole day, I got tired quickly." I mumbled. "Not fit for a desk job huh?" She says while playing with my palm. "You do have a tiny hand, Lix."

"I do not!" I argued. "I have longer fingers than you have, dummy." She placed her palm on my palm. It was only slightly longer than mine. "Heh! It is!" She persists.

"Baby hands." She teases.

"What now?"

"I won't bother you much since you look tired!" She immediately stops and embraces my waist. "Appreciated." Finally, she knows when to stop.
