"Jisungie," Felix greets as soon as he steps into the bathroom. "Hey, what happened?"
Jisung sighs as he leans against a stall door. "My brother called."
"Yeah?"
"Apparently, my parents have been...spreading lies about me."
Felix gasps and steps closer. "No! What're they saying?!"
The student crosses his arms tightly. "That my anxiety is some stupid thing I made up for attention. Or how I'm not actually into psychology and it's all just some ploy to get my parents to notice me."
"They said what?!" The blonde shrieks. "I outta beat the shit out of them!"
"Felix."
"Ugh...okay, I'm sorry. I know that's rude...but ugh! How can they say that your anxiety is fake? After everything they did to you."
"Felix..." His friend shakes his head and motions for him to go on. "I...kind of lost my cool and started yelling at him...the way I do, I started saying shit without my filter."
"Oh no..."
"...Felix," he rubs his eyes. "Felix, I accidentally told him..."
The blonde shakes his head. "Accidently told him...what?"
Jisung looks into Felix's eyes and swallows hard. "I...told him."
Felix stares before groaning. "Oh...Ji."
"And he's probably going to tell my parents, w-who, by the way, aren't ACTUALLY in America like they said."
"Oh fucking course," Felix scoffs as he wraps his arms around Jisung tightly. "Jisungie...I'm so fucking sorry. I know you didn't plan on telling them..."
Jisung shakes his head. "Not like I was close to them anyway," he laughs dryly. "Lino checked on me, though."
"I know, he got up and joined you. How'd it go?"
The student fiddles with the bottom of his hoodie and smiles weakly. "We um...we almost kissed."
The Australian widens his eyes and his mouth goes wide. "W-what?! You-you-you-"
"Hyunjin interrupted us."
"Noo! I'm gonna kill him!" Felix shrieks.
Jisung pats his friend's shoulder and gently squeezes it. "Look, let's just...get back to lunch. I'll deal with all this shit later."
The blonde nods and wraps an arm around Jisung. "Okay. Okay, we'll deal with it later." The student nods weakly before they both make their way back out and to their seats.
"Is everything alright?" Jeongin asks.
Jisung smiles tightly. "Everything's fine," He lies and picks up his sandwich. "Hey, Jeongin. Why don't you tell us how Hyunjin and you met?"
Jisung stares out at the ocean, shivering a bit from the afternoon breeze. He pulls out his phone and stares at it for a good long moment. The student leans back on the porch bench, bringing his knees up. He looks up when Hyunjin steps out. "Hey," He greets quietly.
"Hey, why're you out here all alone?" He asks as he sets a throw over Jisung's shoulders. He hugs it closer to his body.
"Thanks," he mumbles. "Just...I have a lot on my mind?"
