Felix was upset, which was unusual for him as he was usually a very reserved person. But not today. Not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE, FIVE, people had come to him for "help" with their work. At least 2/5 actually did the work with him, the rest dumped it onto him last minute. One was busy and stressed, another burnt out, and Felix owed the last one a favor.

By the end of it all, he was exhausted, but instead of telling any of them how he really felt, he smiled. As usual, he thought bitterly. But as he had that thought he started reflecting more and more. Two of them technically stayed to help with him, and the other one was known to work a lot so it makes sense he was stressed, and he did owe that last girl a favor...

He was second-guessing himself again. Felix shook his head clearing his thoughts, he was going to meet with Hyunjin and the thought alone made him smile. A real friend who'd make his awful day better. Maybe more than a friend, he thought. Felix blushed at the thought.

"Felix! Hey! Over here!"

Felix looked up to see Hyunjin waving at him, he was seated at a table in the courtyard. Felix smiled and walked over to him. "Hey" he greeted with a megawatt smile. He was already starting to feel better.

"Sit! Sit!" Hyunjin laughed as Felix took a seat next to him. "Soo", Felix looked at him confused, "so?".

"How was your day? I saw you running around like usual helping a bunch of people. Looked stressful. Are you okay?"

The mentioning of his earlier "favors" soured his mood again. Felix frowned, "Not really. They all had their own reasons for needing help. But still...I feel"

"Used?", Hyunjin finished for him. "Yeah", Felix nodded. A comforting hand was placed on his shoulder, "Hey it's okay. You're one hundred percent right for feeling that way, y'know. I get some people to need help and all, but I've never seen someone who everybody goes to like you for help. And I rarely see these people return the favor."

Hyunjin had a point. Felix could count on only one hand the amount of times the favor was actually returned. "You gotta start setting boundaries. I understand you're a naturally helpful person, and that's amazing you wanna help people. But there's a fine line between needing help and leeching off someone else"

Felix nodded. Hyunjin wasn't the first to say something like this, and he probably wouldn't be the last. No matter how hard Felix hyped himself up, and told himself that "this is/was the last time", he always seemed to cave in.

"I understand, really, thank you". Hyunjin smiled, "I just want to see you happy and not burdened by others". Felix felt his heart flutter, he wanted to see me happy. He could feel his face starting to flush again.

"Uhm, anyways, enough about me. This isn't a therapy session. How was your day?". Hyunjin laughed, "It was fine, pretty boring, actually. I took a test and I got a 99, which was really good because I totally thought I'd flunk it"

"Congrats!, I'm glad you passed.", "Thank you. I appreciate it", Hyunjin looked somewhat out of it. Like there was more, he wanted to say, Felix caught on quickly. "Annd?" he pushed lightly, "Is there anything else you wanna talk about? Y'know I don't judge"

Hyunjin looked up finally, before letting out a sigh. "I do have this one thing on my mind. You promise you won't judge?"

Felix felt his heart race quicken, "Yeah, of course not". "I..I like someone okay. But I'm scared to tell them, in case they say no, or even worse. I know it's stupid, but I've never felt this way before"

Felix's heart was practically pounding in his chest now, he has a crush on someone! "No, no totally normal to be scared about that, I've been scared and nervous about crushes before too". Only Felix knew the real weight behind that sentence.

"Yeah...he's so sweet and kind and just awesome. I just don't know how to tell him". Him. It's him. I'm him...no it can't be

"Maybe you need some advice, maybe talking to someone else will help." Felix offered, still shaking with anticipation.

"Okay, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about this, okay". Felix nodded quickly.

"Promise"

"The boy I like is Seungmin"
