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

Chapter 74

The school bell ringing causes the class to burst out in only one second.  Chairs are being shoved back, conversations are being picked up, fights are started.

Felix and Jisung push themselves through the crowd of students, ignoring the comments they get as they exit the classroom.

The usual routine.

"Hey Lix, I need to use the bathroom real quick. Be right back yeah?" Jisung nudges Felix, and the boy nods,

"Sure, i'll see you in the cafeteria."

They part ways, and Felix continues to make his way to their usual table. A call from his name however, makes him stop in his tracks.

"Hey." Wooyoung comes jogging towards the boy, flashing him a smile.

Felix visibly tenses, backing up as he scans the cafeteria for anyone he knows. Against his luck, there's no one in sight.

"...Hey." He hesitantly greets the older back, folding his arms against his chest in some way of protecting himself. They meet eyes for a second, only for Felix to look down immediately after.

"Didn't you see me two days ago?"

This makes Felix look up, his eyes meet Wooyoung's once again but he can't seem to figure out his intentions. He opens his  mouth, closing it again at the insense look the boy gives him,

'W-what?" He asks, his voice low and fragile as he looks at Wooyoung with big eyes.

The older just gives him a small smile, and Felix can't seem to figure out if it eases him or only makes him more nervous.

There's something odd about him.

"Two days ago, I followed you." Wooyoung continues, tilting his head slightly.

Felix's eyes widen, a lump forming in his throat as he reaches for his phone in his pocket. Did he actually just admit that he followed him out loud?

"I...I didn't see you." Felix manages to bring out, his finger lingering above the call button behind his back.

Wooyoung notices, and his smile instantly brightens. "Yeah, I saw you on my way home and wanted to ask for your number, but you didn't notice me." He explains, getting his phone out of his own pocket too.

Felix instantly calms down a bit, closing his phone as he gives Wooyoung a relieved smile. "Oh!! Well I guess we could exchange numbers now? If you want. Why though?"

Wooyoung smiles, ruffling Felix's hair. "I want to get to know you better, maybe we could be friends. I'm curious to what made Bin break down his walls."

Felix nods, giving Wooyoung his phone to let him put his number in it.

He stills feels a bit uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I mean, a boy who he didn't even know until a few days ago follows him around and ends up asking for his number.

It's weird.

But he seems nice, just getting to know him won't hurt right?

Besides, Felix is curious about the boy Changbin grew up with, and why he doesn't exactly seem to like him.

Before they part, Wooyoung ruffles Felix's hair once again. before walking away and exiting the cafeteria.

Felix notices that the other boys are gathered at their table by now, and he walks up to them, smiling as Changbin pulls him down on his lap.

"Everything good?" the older asks, giving Felix's nose a short kiss. Felix hums smiling. "Yeah! Oh I found out why Wooyoung was following me!"

Changbin tenses, looking at Felix with cautious eyes as he gulps. "oh.. really?"
