Ch. 121

And so, the very next day the four boys banded up, texted Felix that they were coming and he couldn't stop them, and went on their merry way.

Had Felix immediate responded by saying he wasn't in the mood, and sent non-stop texts the whole time they were driving there? Yes, he had, but that wasn't about to stop the persistent boys.

They had a job to get done, and by God, they were going to get it done if it was the last thing they did.

When they rang on the doorbell it was taking a little while to open, so they thought maybe they were being ignored or something. For a solid moment they contemplated going in through the upside window.

But then, as if to speak of the the devil, the door swung open to an annoyed looking Felix, "You guys just can't take a hint, can you? What if there was a real reason the you shouldn't come over?"

"Was there?" Hyunjin asked as he pushed through Felix, into the house that he was never invited into.

"Well I mean.. no.." Felix scratched the back of his head, murmuring, "But that doesn't mean you can feel free to waltz into my house any time, like you own the place!"

"We just did." Jeongin said cheerily, closing the front door as he slipped his shoes off.

"I could totally kick you guys out." Felix crossed his arms over his chest with a 'hmph' and was forced to watch as his friends took over his house like it was no big deal.

"But you won't." Seungmin shrugged, "We have a reason to be here. You could call the cops and I wouldn't leave."

"Watch me." Felix warned, not sounding scary at all.

"All right fiesty one," Changbin took Felix by the wrist lightly, "Lets go have a seat in the living room shall we?" He asked, nearly turning the wrong way.

Felix wondered what all of this was about. Though the boys were joking around, he still sensed a very serious aura about them that unsettled his nerves. It was like they were about to interrogate him.

Changbin sat Felix on the main sofa, the rest of them taking seats around the room to face him head on. Seungmin and Hyunjin sat on the couch across from him, and Jeongin sat on the chair tilted in his direction. Changbin was stationed on the edge of the coffee table, staring at him.

They all stared at him with the same intimidating expression, motionless, on their faces, "Uhmm.. guys? What's this all about?" He finally broke the long silence, relieved that some of the tension was cut from the air.

Seungmin sighed audibly, "This is an intervention, Felix. You have a lot of explaining to do young man, and if you don't.. uhmm.." he turned to Hyunjin and whispered harshly, "What if he doesn't fess up?"

Hyunjin rolled his eyes, "And if you don't tell us the truth, we'll tell your English teacher, Mr. Sanchez, you have a crush on him." He threatened.

Felix gasped, "I don't even have a crush on him! Literally all I said was that he was cute!"

Jeongin shrugged, "All the same to a 45 year old man with a weirdly shaped head - wait you have a thing for old guys don't you.." Jeongin paused.

"Huh?"

"Caus you like Chan too-" Jeongin got cut off by a now panicked Felix.

"Who told you that? Did Chan tell you that? How did you know that? Did you see me when I tried to kiss him or something?!" He stood up, a worried, confused and stressed look on his face.

Changbin quickly stopped him, "You tried to kiss Chan? Like Bang Chan? Like our best friend and dad, Bang Chan?"

Felix went completely red, "Well when you say it like that... it sounds awful.."

"Well no, we didn't know that." Seungmin said wearily, "It's not hard to tell when you like someone. You do that thing where you try to get all close and cuddly with them, but your too scared to actually do it so you do to weird back and forth thing with yourself."

Felix watched in awe as Seungmin spoke. Did he really? When had he done that before? He had no memory but it sounded pretty realistic.

"Anyway," Hyunjin saved him, "We don't need to talk about that. Felix, tell us the real reason that Jisung had cut us all off. You lied about the Jeong-Hoon thing. What the fuck is all this about..?"

There was a long silence until Felix plopped down on the couch, bawling his eyes out, and none of them knew why. He just let out one sob after the other, occasionally mumbling something incoherent.

Changbin quickly moved to comfort him, Seungmin doing the same. They patted his back and played with his hair, and finally, through his tears, he spoke.

"When I t-tried to kiss Chan he rejected me, and then I w-went to go get comfort from Jisung, but I got jealous that h-him and Minho were so in love and h-happy, so I yelled at him. I told him things that were so untrue and so f-fake *hiccup* but I know he believes t-them. I want to apologize, but I can't. H-he'll hate me. I remember saying something about him being annoying or clingy, and s-saying that no one a-actually liked him.. that's why he's pulling away. He thinks you all h-hate him.."

He felt so ashamed and so terrible telling the truth, but he knew he had to. The truth would come out eventually.

It always does.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then, finally, Hyunjin said,

"Oh.."
