He jumped a bit when someone tapped his shoulder. Looking back, his eyebrows furrowed when seeing Changbin looking at him intently. "Hyung?"

"Can I ask something?" he quietly said since they were in the study room. Jisung just nodded. "Do you know.. where's Felix?"

He just realised Changbin was not with them when they sent Felix to the airport. He didn't know what happened between them, the Aussie guy did not tell him anything about him and Changbin.

The blonde guy packed his things and Changbin did the same. They exited the room and walked out from the building. "Felix didn't tell you anything?"

Changbin shook his head.

"He's in Australia right now. His cousin has a cancer stage... four? Felix said he only has a few weeks left but somehow worsen a few days ago," he explained while kicking the small pebbles that got in his way. "He cried so bad when knowing that and he left a few days before class started."

"For how long?"

"Two weeks. Probably will be back in a few days but I'm not sure if he's going to return here immediately or not. We haven't heard anything from him. It's weird that he didn't tell you anything."

The older let out a small sigh, "It's expected."

"What do you mean?"

"You know about the hook up? We stopped during the break because I thought it will only destroy our friendship."

His eyebrows knitted.

"I think I like him, Sung. This is supposed to be a one month hook up but somehow it got dragged until now. We're... doing this only just for fun without feelings attached but at the end I caught feelings with him. We promised not to fall for each other though."

Jisung didn't know how to react at that. It was unexpected. He thought it was going just fine between them but no one knows what actually happened. Felix hid it well.

"The deal sounds so stupid. Now we're not talking. I shouldn't have approached him for something like this."

That's when he realised he was in the same boat with Changbin.

But were they really on the same boat? Or they were just on the same sea, different boat?

He couldn't tell. Both him and Changbin like Minho and Felix respectively. And both of them didn't know if they like them back, so definitely on the same boat.

However, if he looked again closely, Minho and Felix were not the same. The Lee's were having hard times at the moment and it was different. Minho was struggling with himself and his mom while Felix was struggling with his sick cousin.

Both problems will resulted to two different ways which they cannot go on the same boat. Even it's different he couldn't classified which one is going through more which one isn't. He cannot compare between those two.

"How about Minho?" he found himself asking Changbin. "Is he going to classes?"

"He hasn't returned yet, Jisung. I thought you know?"

It was him and Changbin on the same boat.

"I don't. I did tell him to inform me if he's here but after that he went offline all the time. I thought he needed some space."

And they needed to separate in order to save both Minho and Felix from their misery.

Even the situation seem similar, he cannot use Changbin's way to get Minho talking to him and Changbin cannot use his way to get Felix talking to him.
