twenty-five

30 minutes before 5 pm; felix was sitting on the corner of his bed, eyeing the small wardrobe he did have opened since an eternity, with his phone in his hand unsure if he should dare to call the contact he just opened or not.

Pressing his eyes shut, hoping he'd be doing the right thing and not to mention that he felt like stressing about nothing, his small fingers found the 'call- button' in the end and pressed it.

The fact that the Australian could her it ringing 8 times by now, made his hand slowly wander to the 'decline-button' almost relieved by the fact, the person wasn't picking up but last second he heard a voice on the other line.

But instead of getting greeted with something kind of friendly what friends would do, he just got verbally a hit in the face. "... I SWEAR IF YOU JUST CALL ME ONE LAST TIME I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS, HWANG HYUNJ-"

"Uhm....It's just me... Felix..." the now slightly frightening boy slowly spoke waiting for the one on the other line to calm down.  Maybe he shouldn't have called anyone, because maybe he could have dealt with that 'problem' of his by his own. Somehow...

"I SAID TH-.... oh...hey buddy!" the boy on the other line akwardly laughed and slapped his own forehead which Felix could clearly hear through the speaker of his phone. "Why are you calling... uhm i mean nice that you're calling, what's up? And uhm... yeah can we forget about that? There was just this slightly annoying person and I—"

"Seungmin, calm down, I'm not mad.." Felix giggled trying to make Seungmin feel a bit more comfortable even if he was quite curious as to why he was screaming that Hyunjin shouldn't call him earlier. He didn't even know they were that close— or more like that Seungmin would actually give him or just in general any breathing human being his number but hey! everyday brings surprises.

And yes... he ended up with calling Seungmin after contemplating for a while. Not Jeongin, not Chan, not Jisung, also not Jisung AND Seungmin but Seungmin and Seungmin only.

The reason for that was kind of simple. For what he was even calling, he was feeling to awkward to call Chan since he didn't know how to put it and didn't want the older to get a wrong idea. Jisung wasn't even an option since he would tease the life out of him and would t stop questioning and Jeongin wasn't that much involved in his life yet, so it would be simply weird to call him because of this kind of problems.

Since the boy figured he could trust Seungmin the most in this case and his friend hopefully won't make any too weird comments or ask too much which would result in him spilling everything he didn't even want to, he just called him in the end.

"Ah okay... yeah that's g-good..." he stuttered still a little embarrassed about his shouting and then double embarrassed because he mainly managed to remain cool but somehow failedtjis time. "Okay, what did you want to talk about? Is Jisung in the call as well?"

"Uhm no...It's only you Seungmin...nie!?" unsure about the nickname he used he waited a second but since Seungmin didn't revolt against it, he just went on. "I need your help with something..."

"Oh?" he asked, suddenly totally motivated and awake. "So you chose  me over Jisung? Ha, I knew it!"

Ignoring this last part Felix simply went on, mostly because he didn't have enough time since the clock now said 20 minutes till 5pm.

"Sooo, how can I help you?"

"What should...I wear?"
was what he settled with in the end, still staring at his clothes in his wardrobe. At least the ones he already sorted in and not the ones that there slowly rotting in his unopened cartons.
