19- the third wheel makes it a tricycle

Chan's POV:

November 18

When I got on the bus, I went straight to the back where Han was sitting. I always sit next to him, and I really need someone else with me right now. Trust me, it's not that I don't like Changbin or anything, but damn I'm basically a third wheel when Felix is with us too. I don't even understand what's going on between them. Changbin says he's straight, but Felix likes him a lot, and I saw them spooning...? I don't know what to make of this anymore. There's got to be something going on that I'm not aware of, but I would rather have Felix come to me a tell me when he's comfortable.

I smiled at Han nonetheless, and he smiled back at me. He's always bright and smiley, and I knew why as soon as I sat down because he was talking so fast, "Hyung, Minho texted me last night and he was so cute! I couldn't even believe what I was reading! Who would've thought he was such a softie?!"

I chuckled a little, "Well, hi to you too."

He rolled his eyes as the bus started moving, "Did you not hear what I just said?! Minho. Texted. Me..." He looked so happy, grabbing my upper arm and shaking it back and forth a little, "Do you understand what this means?! What if he asks me out?! Oh my god, I might die if he asks me to the winter dance."

"Ok, take a breath..." I replied, my eyes forming little crescents from smiling so wide. It always makes me happy when he's happy, "Was he really soft to you?"

He quickly nodded, "He was talking about his cats, and I thought I was going to cry it was so cute."

"Wow... He's always so stern at school. Everyone's scared of him!"

"I know! I was just as shocked as you are! Who would've thought that the baddie who drives his motorcycle to school has three cats and loves to cook?!"

I raised an eyebrow, "You're type..." I dropped my smile quick, "But I swear if you ever ride that motorcycle with him—"

"We're not even dating yet! And you know I hate motorcycles..." He whined, and I just laughed. He finally relaxed, leaning back in his seat, "How's your morning so far? Still a third wheel with the lovebirds?"

I rolled my eyes, "Tell me about it. They're way too touchy and giggly to just be friends..." I looked down the aisle to see Changbin still talking to Felix. I guess Jeongin-ah is sick today or something, "He better fucking treat him right."

"Woah, hey, hey... Dial back the overprotective brother thing for a sec..." Jisung said, tapping my shoulder so I would turn back to him, "You said he was a nice guy."

I crossed my arms over my chest, "A nice guy that's also twice the size of my little brother, and I think he has a temper. If he ever lays a finger on Felix, I will lose it."

"You just said they're giggly and touchy. I think they'll be alright..." Han shrugged, "Not that I've ever met him before."

I pursed my lips, leaning closer to him as I said, "If you saw two people spooning, would you say that they're just friends? And I don't mean like cuddling, I mean like really close to each other."

"Umm..." He thought for a moment, pressing his lips together in thought, "I wouldn't. I feel like you only do that with someone you're intimate with."

I sighed, closing my eyes and resting my head back on the seat, "I know. I only do that with Yeji."

I opened my eyes again when Jisung gasped, "Oh my god, you saw them spooning didn't you?!"

I nodded, "It was so weird. I asked Lix about it the next day, and he looked so scared that I saw them. What is he hiding? He always tells me everything. I think Changbin is making him hide."
