"I am not going to school, I am not."

"Then why did you come here with your bag and clothes on?", Hyunjin rolled his eyes at the shorter as Minho and Chan stood by the couch laughing at something.

"Because my parents need to think I went, obviously."

Hyunjin sighed, turning to the stove and flipping the pancake.

"You're going, you can't avoid them forever."

"Ahm, yes I can. Try me.", Changbin whined as the taller stuffed a piece of pancake in his mouth.

"Come get your food, guys."

"What are you so worried about? It's not like Jisung cares.", Minho ran to the table as Chan chuckled.

"I know but... I can't face Felix."

They all nodded and Hyunjin squeezed his hand.

"Don't worry, we'll be there for you, he won't even get a chance to talk to you if you don't want to."

"What he said.", Chan smiled as he dived into the food.

"Okay...", Changbin shrugged. "If you leave me alone with any of them I'll kill you one by one."

——➰——

They didn't break the promise, he never got to be alone with Felix. In fact, he had barely seen the guy that day. At the entrance, he had walked so fast the younger didn't even notice anyone at all had passed next to him. He waited until Chan agreed to go with him to his locker and managed to ignore the glance the freckled boy had sent him, finally noticing him. At class they were never together expect for year combined PE classes, but it was orientation so he managed to stay away from him as he run like an idiot around the school for two hours. It was after school that everything went down.

And it wasn't Felix, but Jisung, who came to him.

Changbin felt like running away as the younger looked at him, waving and saying something to his friends, running at the older. He stayed still and his eyes widened as Jisung engulfed him in a hug.

"Good morning! Rise and shine!"

"W-what?"

The younger let go of the hug and jumped a bit from feet to feet.

"It's a beautiful day, today!"

Changbin felt himself relax a bit at how happy the guy seemed.

"What happened to make you that happy?"

"Well.", he fiddled his fingers and looked down with a shy smile. "My crush and me are finally getting somewhere."

Changbin's heart speed up.

"Your crush?"

"Yeah.", he chuckled. "I don't need to explain to you that me and Felix are open in our relationship, we have been drifting even more away these last few months since I fell for someone else but we just didn't broke up yet. I don't even know why."

Changbin shook his head, laughing.

"And who's this crush?"

"Ah, no. I am not going to tell you until I am certain.", he suddenly smirked, leaning closer to him. "And you?"

"M-me?"

"You and Felix?"

Changbin forced himself to look confused, his heart hammering in his chest in a painful rhythm.

"Don't play dumb, he's been trying to get with you for so long, when are you letting him?"

Changbin's heart broke into pieces and he choked a whimper, worrying Jisung immediately.

"Changbin?"

"God, I hate you both.", he buried his face on his hands and let himself break down again, his sobs echoing through the empty hall as everyone had left already, the sun setting outside. Jisung panicked and moved closer as they both fell to the ground next to the interior lockers.

"Binnie? I'm sorry, a-what happened?"

The older shook his head, too overwhelmed to say anything.

Jisung hugged him strongly and played with his hair until he calmed down enough, his red eyes breaking the other's heart in half.

"I-I felt so bad all this time. I t-thought you would hate me, Ji."

"For liking Felix?"

The shorter furrowed his eyebrows, hiccuping.

"U-you... you don't know about the trip.", he stated, eyes widening.

"No? Did Felix not tell me something? Did you guys do anything?"

Changbin bit his lip.

"I tried so hard not to Ji. I kept t-thinking about you b-but I was... I wasn't drunk but I c-"

"Relax, Bin, you made out, so what? I don't care. Why are you so sad."

Changbin wiped his own tears away harshly, the new wave already falling.

"This might sound so selfish, but part of me wanted it to be cheating.", Jisung tilted his head, trying to understand. "-if he had cheated that would probably mean he wanted something with me. Being an open relationship I literally just mean sex."

The younger's eyes widened immediately.

"You guys? Oh my god Changbin. Did he talk to you yet?", the older began crying harder and Jisung hugged him again, not needing an answer. "I'm so sorry, Changbin. God, I swear he's so whipped for you, I don't know why he is acting like that."

The shorter tugged his shirt, burying his face on the younger's chest as he heard voices next to them. Jisung held him tighter to hide his face as Minho ran to them, followed by Chan, Jeongin and Felix.

Jisung tried not to seem mad as the last raised his eyebrows, as if asking what was wrong, he knew that had to be some kind of misunderstanding or lack of communication, but it still annoyed him that the latter was that broke.

"Everything okay?", Chan asked, locking eyes with a knowing Jisung.

He knew it was not okay, all of them new.

Felix felt his heart drop as the small body tremble on his own boyfriend's arms.

He wanted to be the one holding him.

If only he hadn't been an idiot.

He sighed and closed his eyes, trying his hardest to keep the tears away.

"It will be.", Jisung answered, determined to solve the thugs for two of his best friends.

——➰——

So... I don't have much to say today but I'm kinda sorry for this chapter? I'm not sure if it's bad but yeah.

Things have to fall first to get up, right? *inserts spoiler for the next few chapter's mood*
