Off Key

#55

The next day at school was rough.

The boys were all feeling different emotions and the worst part of it all?

They had practice tonight.

Chan met up with the rest of the guys at the front of the school.

Everyone stared but walked away, whispering.

Changbin had puffy red eyes with Felix who never left his side.

Things between Minho and Jisung were different. They were inseparable before but now, they couldn't even keep their hands off of each other.

Seungmin and Chan still couldn't believe that the wedding was getting closer and closer, which stressed them out.

Hyunjin was still heartbroken along with Jeongin but tried their best to get over it.

Tried.

"So, how was everyone's night?" Chan asked as nobody responded.

"Okay, well, you guys know we have practice tonight," Chan said, reading the room that everyone was distracted. "Is everyone gonna be there?" He asked.

They all nodded their heads.

The bell rang and everyone left and headed to class. Chan sighed and headed to class as well.

~~~

Changbin was walking down the hallway, his brain pounding.

It was filled with so many thoughts and just wanted to bawl his eyes out.

"Changbin."

It was already the beginning of the day and he wanted to go home and sleep through day and night.

"Changbin."

But he didn't want to go home, to his parents, specifically his dad. He didn't want to see him. His words of his dad were still racking his head, almost making him go crazy.

"Changbin.."

Am I really disgusting?

Is it really that bad?

Should I be ashamed?

But I don't feel ashamed...

"Bin!" Changbin looked over next to him, seeing Felix pull him into an empty storage room and close the door, flipping the light switch on.

"Bin, you're crying," Felix said reaching in his backpack and pulling out some tissues.

Changbin reached up to touch his face feeling the tears. He hadn't even realized he was crying.

Felix used the tissue to wipe away the tears from Changbin's face.

As Felix was wiping away the tears, he couldn't help but think how he could help the older. He felt helpless, and weak not being able to do anything.

Changbin, on the other hand, couldn't help but think of Felix. He couldn't help but admire him and feel thankful for him.

"What did I do to deserve you?" Changbin mumbled, feeling more tears fall as Felix looked at him.

"I should be the one asking that," Felix whispered as he brought his hand to the older's and intertwined them.

"You don't deserve me Lix... you deserve someone who can be there for you and be okay for you," Changbin said making Felix instantly shake his head.

"Bin, you were always there for me and I know you always will be, but now it's my turn." He wiped more tears away with his sleeves, this time, as he ran out of tissues.
