SIDE STORY 2: BACHELOR PARTY - FELIX AND HIS FRIENDS

Chamonix, France

Felix tightened his thick fur jacket as soon as he got out of the SUV with his friends. He took his suitcase from the trunk of the car and then pulled it to the villa he had ordered the other day.

"Are we all in the same room?" Justin asked.

"Of course!" replied Edric enthusiastically.

"Oh, great." Justin replied. He looked like a man without a life after Edric enthusiastically replied.

"What's the matter, Justin?" asked Felix who saw Justin did not have the same energy as Edric. Well, actually it's normal.

"It is annoying to see Edric over-excited." Justin replied.

"But you love him, don't you." Felix teased by nudging Justin's arm. Justin turned his head, shivering with horror at what Felix said.

They immediately put their suitcases in the villa room and returned outside. Dennis asked them to walk together to a famous restaurant which was not far from the villa.

"Cold, but I like it." Muttered dennis half running.

"What do you think Roxanne and her friends are doing?" Edric tries to imagine what women do when they go on vacation together.

"Girls' things, Ed. You're a player but don't understand them at all. " Arthur replied grimly.

"How can he understand all about women if he only understands the part of the bed." Justin sarcastically quipped.

Felix laughed. "Never mind. Among you I'm the one who understands women." Said Felix in his arrogant tone. "If I don't get married first, you guys won't be motivated, right?" continued Felix again.

Dennis squeaked. "Even before you got married, my parents would still match me. What's the point of looking for a woman? "

Arthur turned to Dennis and embraced him. "No need to search. Who knows all this time there is a woman who admires but you yourself are not aware of it. " He said.

Dennis stopped walking, turned his head, and said, "Don't mention--"

Arthur was ahead of him and shrugged his shoulders. A sign that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. It was useless to tell the stubborn and always thoughtful Dennis of himself that way.

"How about you, Art?" Justin asked later.

"Me?" Arthur turned to Justin with his index finger pointing at himself.

"Aren't you looking for a woman or are you waiting for her to come alone?" Justin asked again.

"I think we should make an alliance together, Justin." Arthur put his arm around Justin's shoulder.

"We're not thinking about women either, are we?" chuckled Arthur.

Felix shook his head. Even when counting the days leading up to his wedding, none of them had the same thoughts as him. They just have never felt what it feels like to fall in love and be loved.

"I'm sure Edric is still waiting for that woman." said Dennis suddenly when he saw Edric who was just silent.

Felix also looked at Edric before looking at each other amusedly with Dennis. "Nice shot, Dennis." Said Felix, holding up his thumb.

Felix fell silent again, staring at the scenery on every street covered in white snow. If only he could come here with Roxanne. Or maybe, he will bring Roxanne later.

Honeymoon thing, Felix had it planned. But, for a moment he doubted the choice of country he wanted to go to. One thing is for sure, he will take Roxanne around several countries.

Without realizing it, they had arrived at a restaurant that looked busy with visitors. They entered and immediately ordered food. After this, they will ski at the Grand Montets Ski resort.

When they arrived at the site, they rented some equipment to do their skiing and get ready.

Dennis walked ahead of them and looked back. "Do we have to compete?" asked dennis. From his tone, it was clear that he himself was making the childish suggestion, not asking opinion.

"What's the prize?" Justin asked.

Dennis looked thoughtful. "Hmm, I haven't thought about it."

"The loser must dance and sing at my wedding party." Chirped Felix later.

"No way."

Everyone seemed to disagree with Felix's ridiculous suggestion. Felix himself just laughed - shrugged his shoulders.

"The loser will buy us all food tonight." suggested Arthur. Dennis seemed to be smiling.

"That's easy." Said Dennis arrogantly.

"And also, he has to tell about the type of woman, who is the woman he likes, and-" continued Arthur.

"WHAT ?!" exclaimed Dennis.

"Seriously? To be completely honest? " Edric confirmed the arthur proposal.

Justin was silent. However, no one knows if in his heart he continues to chant prayers so that he won't lose in this childish race. Come on, Justin isn't very good at telling stories. He clearly had to avoid something like this.

As for Felix, he just burst out laughing. Shouldn't he have suggested something like that? It would be very funny if Arthur himself lost. Come on, he's clearly going to escape this penalty. This only applies to his friends who completely avoid women's problems.

"I agree." Said Felix, getting ready to launch immediately.

"You're not helping at all, Jullian." Dennis grumbled, getting ready to follow Edric, Arthur, and Justin.

Felix cued. And at the last cue, all his friends seemed to want to avoid defeat, they immediately rushed off wildly. Felix himself just glided casually, enjoying the view of the mountains with snow blanketing him.

*

"Damn."

Arthur continued to grumble. Felix had expected this to happen. See? Arthur lost and had to do exactly what he said. Buying food for them is easy. But talking about future problems with a spouse, aka a woman? Felix just laughed every time Arthur cursed in front of them all.

"Actually, it's not that hard, right?" said dennis.

Felix laughed. "It won't be difficult if you've imagined it long ago. I mean, if you really planned everything. " Felix Connect.

"Come on, Dude." Complained Arthur.

"Come on, Arthur. Don't whine like a woman. You made the bet yourself. " said Edric as he poured wine into his glass.

"Just imagine you're in felix's position." Justin replied.

Arthur laughed dryly. "Hahaha so funny. Easy for you to say, Justin. "

Justin raised his wine glass and toast with Edric. Oh, arthur is getting annoyed with Justin who seems to have formed an alliance with Edric - forgetting the alliance they formed before the damn race started ..

"Fine." Arthur sat up straight.

Meanwhile, without being asked, Felix poured wine into Arthur's glass as he needed it. And the story flows. Arthur's image of his ideal woman and how he will live his married life with a spouse.

All of them are listening to him. Nobody interrupted, except for Dennis who looked excited. When Arthur's story ended, Arthur was relieved. He himself did not know whether it was an honest description or just his imagination. But nevermind. The most important thing is he did it.

"I hope you find that woman soon, Arthur." Said Felix. he meant it when he said it.

Felix really wants his friends to share how he felt when he spent time with Roxanne. Feel how happy it will be when you can love and be loved so deeply with a clear status that leads to marriage.
