You were lounging on the couch, mindlessly scrolling on your phone when a sound at the door caught your attention. Thinking it was your roommate Changbin coming home early, you sat up to greet him. But instead, you saw a red envelope with your name on it slide under the door. A sudden rush of confusion hit you. You hesitated a little before walking over to it but your curiosity took over. When you picked it up and opened it, you found a simple message “Booked a table just for us two. Can’t wait to see you.” The note had a time and address at the bottom, and it was signed with a heart.

Who could the letter be from? There was no name. No hint at all about who wrote the letter. Your mind was racing trying to figure out who it could have been. But before you could dwell on it too long, you pulled your phone out to text your best friend, Felix. Maybe he’d be able to steer you in the right direction, or any direction at all for that matter.

“Hey Lix, this random letter was slipped under my door. All it says is ‘Booked a table just for us two. Can’t wait to see you.’ There’s no name on it, just a time and address. Any idea what’s going on?”

Felix’s reply was almost immediate “Sounds like fun!!! You should go, who knows, maybe it’s a surprise date. Can’t wait to hear all about it later!”

You frowned slightly, still feeling a little uneasy about the situation, but shrugged it off. Felix had always been the kind of person to see the bright side of things. Still, you weren’t exactly jumping at the idea of an impromptu date with a stranger.

You had been staring at the letter for a while but suddenly snapped out of it and remembered you had plans with Changbin. You put down the letter on the counter and got ready to go meet him at the café down the street. As you’re about to run out the door you sigh and walk back to the kitchen to grab the letter and shove it in your bag.

Your time at the café was filled with fun conversations and laughter with Changbin as usual. Felix showed up later, looking a bit distracted, his eyes darting around as he sat next to you.

“What’s up, Felix?” Changbin asked, arching an eyebrow as he noticed his odd behavior.

Felix flashed a quick smile “I’m fine really, just got some plans for the evening and don’t want to be late. But…” he paused dramatically “Speaking of having plans for the evening, did y/n tell you about the letter?” he said, sounding a little too enthusiastic.

“Oh I totally forgot! Here Binnie, look at this. It was slipped under our door earlier” You passed Changbin the letter. Felix nudged you and said “Are you actually going? You should really go!” Changbin instantly agreed with Felix without hesitation. “Fine. I’ll go.” you said with an annoyed voice trying to hide the smile on your face.

You said your goodbyes to the boys and glanced at your phone to check the time. You still had two hours before the mysterious date. You figured a quick stop at the beauty salon next door wouldn’t hurt, so you headed over for a hair refresh to feel a little more put-together.

Just as you were about to leave, your phone buzzed with a message from Felix. “Have fun, angel!” You replied back with “You too, sunshine!” remembering he also had plans for the evening.

A little smile tugged at the corner of your lips. You didn’t know what to expect, but you were about to find out.

Arriving at the location, you were immediately taken aback. You were staring at a lavish restaurant. The place practically screamed luxury, and you couldn’t help but feel out of place standing there in your casual outfit. Who would bring you here? This was definitely not where you’d usually find yourself.

You hesitated for a moment, but before you could push the heavy door open, it was already being pulled wide for you. You blinked, stunned by the gesture, and muttered a quick thank you as you realized it was a doorman and stepped inside. The chandeliers above sparkled, casting a warm golden light over the room. You scanned the space, wondering if you’d recognize the person you’re supposed to meet, when suddenly your eyes locked onto a familiar face.

Felix. Of course.

He was standing by the bar, a welcoming smile on his face as he caught sight of you. “There you are,” he said, walking towards you, his tone smooth and confident. “I was starting to think you wouldn’t show.” 

You were speechless.

He led you through the restaurant as the waiters glided past and the air was thick with the scent of expensive food and fine wine. You had to admit, Felix knew how to make you feel at home even when you were underdressed for the occasion. As you sat down at your table, he treated you like royalty. Not surprising with the restaurant he chose. He was always making sure you were comfortable, offering you suggestions from the menu, and even recommending wine pairings. He said everything so casually, clearly knowing what he was talking about.

You laughed at his jokes, chatted about life, acting like nothing was different between you two. By the time the dessert came around, you were starting to feel the effect of the indulgent evening. It had been a lovely time, but it was getting late and you’d have to make your way back home soon.

Felix must have sensed you overthinking because he stood and motioned toward the door. “I’ll drive you home, don’t worry” he said with a reassuring smile as his driver pulled up. You nodded, appreciating the offer. The drive home was quiet but comfortable.

When you got home, you kissed his cheek, closer to the mouth than usual. Your heart was beating fast and your mind was racing. You waved goodbye and headed inside.

Changbin was waiting by the door, his expression lighting up as he saw you walk in. You were quiet for a moment trying to process what had just happened. “It was Felix.” you said, almost a whisper. Changbin gasped. “You were out with Felix? Our Felix?!” he asked, his voice a mix of surprise and delight.

You nodded. “Yeah, I was as surprised as you, Binnie. I don’t really know what to make of it.”

Changbin’s eyes widened, and he looked at you as the realization dawned on him. “I knew something was off today,” he muttered. “I knew Felix was acting strange. That’s why he was so weird when he showed up at the café earlier!” He laughs.

It clicked in your mind, and you smiled a little, despite the swirl of confusion.

Changbin raised an eyebrow. “Well, you’d better send him a message. Something like ‘thnx for tonight’ with a bunch of hearts.”

You pulled out your phone and started typing. Not knowing what to say, you typed and deleted your message a few times before landing on “Thanks for tonight. It was… a surprise. Had a great time though, sunshine.”

You hit send and as the message left your phone, you felt a strange mix of emotions. Some confusion, curiosity, but mostly excitement. The night had been a whirlwind and you weren't sure where it would lead, but you knew one thing…

Things with Felix were definitely going to be different from here on out.

✧ A/N: This specific story is just what I got when I played the swipe game. I thought it made sense so I had to write it. There's a few other versions of this that I had in mind based off of other results you could get with other members. Let me know if you want me to write the others too! Or maybe even a part 2 to this one?

✧ A/N 2: Please be kind! This is the first fic I've ever finished and posted. Constructive criticism is okay though. Thanks so much for reading!
