"Good morning guys", Felix said as he entered in the living room, where everybody was.
"Good morning, Lix", Chan and Jeongin said.
"Mh, 'morning", Hyunjin replied acting annoyed by the freckled boy.

Hyunjin had already returned to the dormitory, he had been taken by their driver early that morning. He was feeling ok and nothing was hurting, luckily.

"Hyunjin, can I talk to you?", Felix asked when the others came back doing what they were.

"Yes", Hyunjin got up and went in the corridor with Felix.

"What's going on, Hwang Hyunjin?"
"What do you mean?", Hyunjin got closer to the other and whispered "Lee Felix", this almost made Felix forget what he wanted to say.

"Mh-mh, Lixie?"

"I mean that..", Felix continued to talk and he cleared his throat before moving on.

"I mean that 'mh, morning' made me think for a moment that you were annoyed by me, like I had done something wrong. Do I deserve this? You also told me to keep this", Felix gestured at him and Hyunjin when he said 'this', "this secret. But why?
I know that if JYP'd found out that the two of us like each other it would happen a mess to say the least  but the others are our closest friends. The eight of us are a family and we'll always be that. So why shouldn't we say at least to them that we do have these feelings? Please tell me why because I need answers."

"Lixie..", Hyunjin said in the sweetest of the ways. He perfectly understood how the other was feeling and he completely agreed on the fact that he had some explaining to do.

"Hyunjin.. it is true that I need some answers from you I but still.. I really missed you", he didn't really think about these words before letting them slide out of his mouth. Despite the confusion, sadness and slight anger towards the other, he embraced Hyunjn. It was an instinct rather than a will, he had felt vulnerable up to that moment and needed the warmth that Hyunjin's arms could guarantee him.

"I missed you too", Hyunjin smiled wrapping his arms around the boy's back.
Guilt over his own behavior invaded him.

"What about hanging out? You'll give the answers I need and without risking to be discovered since the others could hear us, here", Felix suggested breaking away from the embrace.

"Okay, it's a good idea"

Felix smiled a little, the two went back to their group and sat down on the couch.

"Aren't you guys hungry?", Seungmin asked and almost everyone nodded.

Someone got up and prepared breakfast.

-

"Chan, have you talked to JYP?", Minho asked as he finished eating.

"Yes I have, he said that today we don't have to train, we have the day off!"
All of them were really happy with that news.

The boys finished their breakfast and everyone now was minding their business.

"Shall we go for a walk?", Felix asked to Hyunjin, sat down next to him.

"Yup, let me brush my teeth."

Hyunjin went to the bathroom and then also Felix went brushing his teeth.

Hyunjin and Felix said "goodbye" to their friends and went outdoor, at the closest park.
