The boy underneath the stars // H.J + L.M

Chapter 19

Changbin POV

I walk into the cafeteria with Minho, Seungmin and Chan. Relieved when I don't see Felix sitting with the others at our usual table. I'm not exactly in the mood to avoid his questions about what happened the other day.

We join Jisung, Hyunjin and Jeongin at the table. Minho's expression immediately softening at the sight of Jisung. They smile awkwardly at each other, minho scratching his neck and Jisung looking down at his hands. I chuckle at how obvious they're whipped for each other, although something seems to have changed between their behaviour towards each other.

Throughout lunch I keep catching Hyunjin sending glances towards me, I try to avoid it at first. Soon getting annoyed by it. I glare at him, raising my eyebrows, and he quickly looks away.

I continue eating, and I notice it's clearly quieter than normal. I frown, looking up to see what's different. Minho and Jisung are softly talking, smiling and subtly touching each other the whole time. While the rest just scrolls on their phone lazily.

The bubbly and happy atmosphere that normally hangs around the group nowhere to be seen. Felix really does have a huge influence to the group...

I look at Hyunjin, "where's Felix?"

He looks up from his phone, smirking at me. "Why? Missing your 'pretty boy'?"

I groan, rolling my eyes at him. "Just shut up and answer my question."

"Well how am I supposed to answer your question when I have to shut up? Honestly man you make no sense." He raises his eyebrows challenging.

Seungmin high fives the boy from beside me, making me glare at him.

He just shrugs, not intimidated by me one bit. I roll my eyes once again, turning my attention back to Hyunjin. "So?"

When the boy notices my threatening look he quickly stops laughing, shrugging.
"Dunno, something about helping a teacher."

I nod curtly, then turning my attention back to my phone. Looking up again when I notice Hyunjin looking at me sympathetically.

"What."

He seems a bit reluctant, then looking me into my eyes. "So, are you okay?"

I give him a confused look, wringing my eyebrows together. "What are you talking about" I hiss.

He lays his hand on top of mine on the table, soothing it as some sort of way of calming me down. however, I just flinch by it pulling my hand back.

"Felix told me.." he begins.

My breath hitches in my throat.

Fuck

That bitch-  "Please don't be angry with him, it's hard for him to see you like this and he just wanted to help.." Hyunjin tries to defend the boy when he sees my furious look. But I can't seem to control my anger. I stand up, slamming my hand on the table and walking out of the cafeteria, looking for the boy.

Minho quickly gets up, apologising for my behaviour and following me through the halls.

"Where's the idiot." I growl, turning around the corner, still searching for the boy angrily.

"I'm right here." Minho comes up behind me, putting his hand on top of my shoulder to stop me from walking further. I groan, shaking his hands off me.

"Surprisingly enough, it's not you I'm talking about for once." He stops me one more time, forcing me to face him.

"Look I don't know what's going on but, please just don't hurt him. I'm sure he didn't mean to do anything wrong." I scoff, then nodding slightly at him and walking away. He lets me go, looking at me worriedly.
