It would've been slightly bizarre to wear such an outfit to an engagement party but considering how extravagant Momo is and the dress code she'd asked of her guests, Felix definitely wasn't being inappropriate if anything, he was winning this game. He would've worn something simpler, something of a lighter color but he'd chosen black especially because Chan thinks black looks best on him, brings out the pink of his lips and the glitter of his eyes 

He felt not only pathetic but highly ashamed of his acts as well, dressing up in his ex's favorite color on him, putting in all this effort in hopes that the man who dumped him would want him back. It was as bleak as his life could get and the realization was creeping on Felix, terrifying him to the core as he abruptly stood up from his seat and caught the attention of his friends. Hand gripping his mobile phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white, the chains around his neck clattered but their noise was overpowered by Seungmin 

"Lix? Everything okay?" the brunette calls out and Felix turns to look at him, gulping and grounding himself as he smiles briefly "Oh um yes, just need to fix my makeup. I'll be back" He pursed his lips and grabbed his belongings, heading the other way for the restroom while Seungmin only sighed and returned his attention back to his phone. However, Changbin didn't let his gaze falter from Felix, continuing to look at the boy as he spoke "Minnie?" his small voice calls out to his boyfriend who turns to look at him "Yes, binnie?" He raises his brows when Changbin turns to look at him 

"Chan...I think Chan might have brought a date"

After fixing his makeup and gathering himself, Felix walked out of the restroom and toward his' and his friends' table only to find nobody seated there. Confusion rose in him as he furrowed his brows and sighed, grabbing a glass of champagne from the waiter passing him by, the blue-haired casually strode around, smiling at the faces he recognized and making small talk with acquaintances. 

Despite the fancy surroundings and unknown faces, Felix doesn't feel nervous. Even though there is loud chatter around him, music is also drowning out some of the voices and clatters of utensils, even then he doesn't feel discomfort, what he does feel however is a deep longing for his ex-lover whom he is sure he'd see here and there, just because he hadn't run into him for the past hour doesn't mean he won't at all

All this time he's been telling himself he's ready for it but now that more guests fill the engagement hall, he's not so sure anymore. As he stands in a fairly empty spot, alone and without his friends, he can't help it when his eyes look around, he knows he shouldn't be doing this because it's better if they don't run into each other still, there isn't much protest his heart puts up when he begins searching for the face he's so familiar with, the face that his heart is wretched for but instead, the face he does see leaves him shocked as if he hadn't seen a human but an apparition. 

Amidst the crowd of people, his eyes that were searching for Chan accidentally spot someone else who hadn't seen him at all, his mouth nearly falls apart and before he can even register the circumstances, the man turns to look at him. Their eyes meet and surprise will come later, before it comes something strange—something fiery.

Felix doesn't know how he ought to react right now, doesn't even understand how small of a world it can be that he has run into this beautiful stranger all over again. With his hair of blond silk, slicked back like he's some political figure ready to make a speech, and his handsome features that never fail to put Felix in a daze. With his long black coat that's draped over his broad shoulders, his fitted black slacks, and his black suit jacket that tops a white button-down shirt and a slick ebony tie, if Felix hadn't known better, he'd mistake him for a mafia lord considering how intimidating and utterly brooding he looked
