I do believe you

Felix's apartment

-Well, you can use Seungmin's old bed. Are you sure you want to stay here? Isn't Seungmin gonna freak out when he sees you're missing?

-Maybe. But I really need a break, Chan replied rubbing his tired eyes. I hope I'm not a burden.

-Not at all! Felix answered a little too quickly. I'm happy to have a roommate again. Minho's house is so big that I feel alone in it.

Chan's phone was vibrating on the table for the tenth time. Felix looked at the screen and every time he saw the same name on it: Seungmin.

He chose not to ask questions.

Maybe it was a little selfish of him, but he did like the idea of living with Chan. It was a good distraction from the mess he was living in.

Chan reached his hand towards a bottle of wine, but Felix took it and placed it on the shelf under Chan's confused eyes.

-No alcohol for you, hyung. Don't get me wrong...You're hot, but I don't want to be one of your bitches yet. I still have a shot and don't want to mess it up.

-I wasn't gonna sleep with you, Felix!

-I still don't trust you with alcohol. Drink water! It's healthy.

Chan rolled his eyes, his gaze travelling the room until it stopped, focusing on the trash can. He saw the pills and understood the situation so fast that he didn't have time to react.

-Felix, how long am I allowed to stay here?

-For how long you want, hyung.

-Great, Chan smiled at him trying to hide his concern.

He watched Felix carefully how he was cleaning the house. He saw the sad eyes and the little hope that was sparkling in his eyes whenever he was hearing the phone notification.

He was waiting from something.

-Felix?

-Yes, hyung?

-Come here, Chan said with a sad smile. Felix approached him clueless and found himself engulfed in a hug.

-Hyung?

-You're trying, aren't you? I'm sorry I couldn't see it earlier.

Felix's eyes filled with tears. He started helplessly crying, burying his face in Chan's shoulder.

-It's ok. I'll keep you company. At this point we both need it. And I do believe you.

Felix raised his head to look Chan in the eyes.

-You do?

Chan nodded hesitating.

-The truth is... I saw Jisung's face before I got attacked.

Felix's mouth slightly opened in disbelief.

-Why didn't you tell the police?

-Because I thought about it. He must have have a horrible life to end up doing this. I don't know the details, therefore I can't say whether he is justified or not.

-But he hurt you.

-Because he was jealous. I indirectly attacked him. When I talked to him, he seemed nice. He is an unstable person, clearly.

That give Felix something to think of.

Changbin didn't do anything to him even though he was part of the killing activities. He only shouted after Felix watched him with fear in his eyes.
