Felix didn't mind sharing a room with Changbin and Jeongin. The two weren't Seungmin levels of clean but they weren't messy either so their room remained averagely tidy.

Occasionally, mess would pile up here and there but the three of them never let it get out of hand. And since he had been so used to sharing a room with Changbin and Jeongin, Felix couldn't say he was pleased when their manager switched up their rooms.

Felix loved every member with his whole heart, but he had grown so used to sharing with Changbin and Jeongin that he was honestly a little scared. He was glad that Jisung was one of his roommates along with Seungmin, and that the room would always remain clean.

On the first night of sharing a room with Jisung and Seungmin, Felix shuffled nervously into the room, his favourite stuffed teddy in his hands. Seungmin noticed his anxious demeanor and smiled reassuringly at the boy.

"You ok, Lix?" He asked softly and Felix nodded stiffly.

"Ah, he's just a little nervous about the room changes," Chan answered as he entered the room behind Felix. "So I'm here to tuck him in for the night."

"No problem, hyung!" Jisung replied cheerfully from the bunk underneath Felix's. "We'll take good care of Felix, don't worry."

Chan smiled in gratitude before patting Felix's bottom lightly, urging him up the ladder. Once Felix was settled down, Chan pulled the covers up and kissed his baby's forehead softly.

"If you need Daddy, you know where he is, ok baby?" Chan reminded and Felix nodded, clinging to his stuffed teddy. "Good boy. Night night, Felix."

"Night night, Daddy," Felix said quietly before Chan left, leaving Felix with Seungmin and Jisung.

"You good, baby?" Jisung asked, head popping up over the side of Felix's bunk.

"Scared, Jisungie," he answered, latching his fist onto one of Jisung's fingers. "I wike Jisungie and Seungminnie but I never shared a room with them."

"Don't worry, love," Seungmin piped up from the other side of the room. "It won't be as scary as you think. And we all know each other well so we know things we shouldn't do around each other."

Felix nodded his understanding, letting Jisung kiss his little fist.

And after about thirty minutes, Felix had settled into a light sleep, often stirring here and there but never fully waking. Until he heard something akin to a loud growl from underneath him. His eyes shot open with a quiet gasp, holding his breath until he heard the noise again.

Tears filled his eyes as the noise continued, now higher in volume and more frequent in consistency, and Felix realised the noise was coming from Jisung's bunk. Was something hurting Jisung? Someone?

Felix glanced over the side of his bed to see Seungmin still sound asleep and he was relieved that no scary monsters has gotten to him.

Still, Jisung was hurt and Felix didn't know what to do about it, until he remembered Chan in the next room. Chan always knew what to do — and with that thought in his head, Felix quietly crept down the ladder, not looking at Jisung's bunk in fear that the monster would get him too.

Holding back his tears, Felix tip-toed down the hall and into Chan, Minho and Jeongin's room, immediately spotting his caregiver sprawled out on the bed in the corner furthest from the door. Creeping over to Chan's bed, Felix sniffled and reached down with a small hand to shake Chan's shoulder.

"Daddy," he whimpered. "Daddy, wake up."

Chan did wake up, begrudgingly, but when he saw Felix's little teary face, he sat up alarmingly.

"Hey, what happened, baby?" He asked softly, stroking Felix's arm.

"Daddy, there's a m-monster," Felix hiccuped. "It's h-hurting Jisungie."

Chan, despite his confusion, got out of his comfy bed and took Felix's little hand, walking back to the younger's room.

"Daddy will get rid of the scary monster, baby boy," he reassured as he opened the door to Felix, Seungmin and Jisung's room.

When Felix heard the noise, he immediately whined and hid behind Chan. Pulling his phone from the pocket of his sweats, Chan switched on the torch widget and shone his phone in Jisung's direction, chuckling at what he saw.

There was no monster (unless Chan counted Jisung). Only Jisung with his mouth wide open, snoring.

"There's no monster angel," Chan whispered, encouraging Felix to look at Jisung snoring. "It's only Jisungie snoring very loudly. You're ok, baby."

Felix nodded hesitantly, still clinging to Chan.

"'M sowwy, Daddy," he apologised feebly and Chan kissed Felix's forehead.

"No need to be sorry, little one."
