E is for Ex

Felix took a deep breath in. Well, there's no use in being nervous now.

He quickly walked in before he had any time to back out and asked the receptionist where the auditions were being held. Chewing on his lips, he opted to climb up the stairs to dispel some of his nervous energy instead of taking the elevator. 

He hadn't told the others about where he was going today because, well, he didn't want them to know. It might be a crazy dream but he'd always wanted to be involved in music. His mind went to his parents, his mum, who was displeased about him travelling to South Korea but he had managed to convince her to give it a chance. Two years later and here he was, in front of a set of doors that might decide his career(he knew he could try again but who would after getting rejected?). 

Felix shut his mind up before walking into the room. His eyes widened at the sheer number of people inside. Doubts were filling up his head but before they could consume him, they called up candidate 45. His eyes widened as he realised that that was him.

He bowed his head then walked into the next room where a few people were waiting for him.

"Hello, I'm Lee Yongbok. I am 16 years old."

"Okay. Please show us a dance routine you have prepared. Which song will you be dancing to?"

"Fire by BTS."

The music started playing almost immediately and Felix's body automatically responded, mentally thanking Hyunjin and Minho for running over the choreography with him earlier at the dance practice.

Before he knew it, the auditions were over with him also singing and rapping 3 songs. He thanked them and was about to leave, horribly out of breath and exhausted, before they called him out.

"We don't have a number to call you on, Yongbok," one of the judges said.

Lee Felix gasped but managed to control himself and give him his number, heeding their warning to not take this as confirmation that he had been accepted, until he was outside the building. It had already turned dark and the stars were out but he screamed, finally letting go of all the fear built up inside him. He could sleep for 48 hours straight if you asked him to today.

"What do you need? I have a life too- Wait, why are you crying?" Minho stopped, shocked.

"And what is this..." he trailed off.

It was a sight to see. The large bedroom's floor was covered in clothes, seemingly flung away from the closet that the boy was leaning against, tears nearly running down his face. He was almost naked, only a pair of boxers on and his hands were attempting to tear his hair out. The only thing needed to complete the scene would be mascara dripping from the boy's eyes.

"I don't have anything to wear," Hyunjin wailed back in response. "I'm supposed to meet him in an hour and I haven't even showered yet. Also, you don't have anything to do."

Minho just sighed, "Who are you meeting- Oh wait, it's Seungmin isn't it?"

"How did you know?" Hyunjin frowned.

"Go shower first. You stink of beer. You're still underage, I should be calling the police."

"It's because of your influence, anyways so you would get into trouble."

Rolling his eyes, he replied with a, "No, I wouldn't." and Hyunjin knew where the line was so he just ran to the bathroom, grabbing a towel from the wardrobe.

The boy, who was left alone in the bathroom, walked around the room, trying to pick up at least some clothes however futile it was. He didn't want to give the maid extra work when she came in. God knows Hyunjin already gave her enough to work with.

When Hyunjin walked back in, now fresh-smelling and a lot calmer, he gasped to see his room clean.

"Here," a shirt was thrown at him along with trousers. He looked down to see they were clothes bought by Minho himself.

"So? How'd you manage to land a date with the Kim Seungmin, our soon-to-be school president?" Minho questioned, looking through his jewellery drawer.

"It's not a date. We're meeting up at the library for god's sake," Hyunjin sighed, slipping on the clothes.

"I say, make it a date."

"What do you mean, make it?" Hyunjin took the earrings he'd been handed and placed them on the piercings him and the older had gotten.

"How did you even get him to meet up today?" Minho looked through the jackets the younger had.

"Basically, I was doing homework-"

"Gasp. You do homework?"

"Shut up. It's you that doesn't do homework. As I was saying, it got really hard so I texted him because he's so clever and can you believe I ACTUALLY HAVE HIS NUMBER-" Hyunjin took a breath in after his outburst.

Minho scoffed and then asked him where his new coat was.

Hyunjin went to pull it out, "So I asked him to help me and he was all like x and y and sin or whatever. And when he asked if I understood a word of what he was explaining, I obviously said no so he was like meet me at the library at 11 on Sunday. Wait it is Sunday right?" He suddenly gasped.

"Yes, it is Sunday," Minho sighed. 

Hyunjin didn't say anything else, probably still getting over his mini heart attack, so Minho assumed he was done with his story.

"The way I see it," he started. "If he hadn't wanted to go for lunch, why would he want to meet up so close to the official lunch time. He must know how hard it really is for you to understand anything so he knows how long it would take-" he had to stop because Hyunjin had tackled him to the ground.

"Stop, stop! I'm trying to help."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Well, for now, probably get out of here because you have 10 minutes to be there. You shouldn't keep him waiting."

Hyunjin yelped and rapidly put his boots on.

"Say you're hungry and take him to a café before finishing doing the homework otherwise he'll have an excuse to get out of lunch. Now go go."

"Okay thank you so much. I love you and you're the best best friend ever."

"Just go," Minho said, shoving him out of the bedroom.

"Have fun!" he called out hearing an 'okay!' back before he was left with silence.

Now, what to do?
