Tangled, my heart that was looking for you, it disappeared, gone away.

.

"Would you like to get off of me now?" Minho cocked a brow at the energetic boy who cleared his throat and got off of him.

Felix couldn't suppress his laughter and started to laugh uncontrollably.

His hyung had never been caught off guard like that squirrel boy the brunette had managed to make him feel overwhelming emotions.

"I-i'm sorry you see Changbinnie here, gets sensitive when he's hungry, which wouldn't particularly end in a good way-- so you know--"

"Your name?" Minho interrupted him.

"uh, Jisung, Han Jisung. I own the rice cake shop a block away from here." Jisung said, rubbing his neck and sending glares to Changbin.

Minho found it hard not to laugh at the energetic boy just because he was so cute. He remained in a straight posture and stared at Jisung with eyes stone hard.

"Right, and what made you think I robbed your rice cakes?"

"Uh,"

"Well," Seungmin joined in.

"Your pretty face,"

*Hyunjin gasps dramatically in the background*

"Don't worry Hyunjin, you're still hot," Seungmin comforted Hyunjin who nodded containing his perfect posture again. Minho stared at Jisung as if he was waiting for another reason. Minho didn't believe that he was good-looking. He was always told he was ugly. So he found it hard to believe Jisung who was glaring at Changbin.

He let out a sigh.

"How much was the rice cake?" He asked Jisung.

"Um, no, it's f-fine, it's not your fault anyways now is it?"

"Jisung," Minho called and the way Jisung's heart fluttered most indescribably ever, could never be explained or said.

Felix looked between the two, a noticeable intensity rising between them.

Are they spiritually connected?

He wondered.

"10 Aries," Jisung mumbled, chewing the inside of his cheek.

"You chased him down, straddled Minho all for 10 Aries(money in Arius)?" Seungmin whispered Hyujin could only smack the back of his head.

"This is your fault too," Hyujin reminded him.

Minho gave the boy 10 Aries, making sure to pinch his cheek.

"Stop chewing on your cheeks, you'll get hurt."Jisung just nodded before he dragged Changbin away. But Felix didn't miss how the Changbin boy's eyes changed colour.

"Wait!" Felix said, suddenly startling Jeongin.

"Mr. Han Jisung! Is there a chance that you and your acquaintance are... not human?"

Jisung's eyes widened and he started dragging Changbin with much more force.

"Because we were wondering... if you could help us with something?"

Chan stared out the window, the sky was painted in all kinds of hues. But he was coloured in blue, a very dark blue. He was busy thinking about Felix and Manso,

"The world is lonely, mean and dark. It'll only want to hurt you Chan, so instead, I'll be there to remind you that the world isn't all that bad sometimes. I'll be there to help you, hold you, and wipe away your tears no matter how many times they fall,"

"I miss my mom, I miss my dad, I miss my old hyung, I miss my sister, I miss my old house, I miss hugging my favourite plushie in the morning, I miss baking brownies for my family, I miss cuddling with a bunch of pillows, I miss the smell of the grass with coffee brewing every morning, I miss talking about the weather or latest anime, I miss the times where I didn't get yelled at for playing around, I miss when the bills were none of my concern, I miss when it was okay to make mistakes, I miss when I didn't have to be mature, I miss..."

"Everything...I can't have now,"

Chan remembered their words.

"The world led me to Manso, then the world took Manso away from me. Then the world gave me Felix, but the world didn't wait until they snatched him away from me again. The world is so lonely." Chan sighed softly, missing the blonde boy who was sleeping peacefully in his arms the night before.

A knock sounded on his door and he ran down the stairs expecting a letter but saw a bunch of people at his door. Seven boys in total. Yet the blonde boy stood out the most. Minho led the boys inside, nodding at Chan in acknowledgement.

"I hope you don't mind--" Felix was about to explain but Chan had his arms wide open with a huge smile on his lips.

Felix was flustered as Chan came closer with arms wide open enveloping the boy in a hug.

"You're finally home again," Chan whispered, digging his nose into the sweater Felix was wearing.

As Felix wrapped his arms around the boy with hair he inhaled in peace. There's always someone in the world whose arms always feel like home, and in this case, it was Chan.

"I am," Felix whispered, holding onto the boy tighter.
