TRIGGER WARNING: Anxiety, arguing, violence

A few weeks later

It was the weekend, yet Felix felt like he was still in school, frustrated by the lesson his friends were trying to teach him.

"What do you do when you don't wanna do someone else's work?" Seungmin asked, Felix, groaned and cuddled into Changbins arm

"I tell them no, but what if they keep asking?" Felix asked

"Stand your ground, tell them no you're not doing it," Seungmin said

"But- but what if they keep pushing, and I get nervous!" Felix whined

"If you feel overwhelmed then see if me, Changbin, or Hyunjin are around and if we aren't scream you said no" Seungmin said

"What if they get aggressive or hit me," Felix asked to frown

"Then call Changbin, and he'll rock their shit" Seungmin Changbin chuckled

"I just don't want people to be mad at me! Or try to hurt me!" Felix pouted

"Felix it's ok to put yourself first even with us if you're feeling overwhelmed or unmotivated, tell us, and you don't have to hang out with us, same with them if they can't take no for an answer then get away from them and if you can't call us!" Seungmin said

Felix let out a sigh before nodding, "Right"

That was a week ago now, and for the most part, Felix had done pretty well at standing his ground. He was eating lunch with Seungmin and Changbin, talking about everything and nothing when a guy approached them

"I'm just saying if I got turned into a snail I'd-", Changbin was cut off

"Hey! Felix! Sup man, you been good?", the guy asked. He looked like your typical frat bro, snap-back sleeveless shirt and all.

Felix let out a nervous smile, "Hey Dal, I've been good"

The other guy patted him on the back, a little too rough for Changbins liking. The fact this guy seemed to just ignore him and Seungmin also irked him, but he kept his mouth shut. "That's good! Glad you're doing better after what happened at that party"

"Party?" Changbin muttered, Seungmin shrugged in response. Felix let out an awkward chuckle, "Yeah..ha, anyways what's up?"

"Look, so like I know you're hanging out with your friends and whatnot, but I really need your help with my English paper, could you help me out?"

Felix's first instinct was to say yes, but he looked over to see Changbin and Seungmin giving him knowing looks. Felix sighed before replying, "Sorry, I'm kinda busy right now..." Felix started.

Dal frowned, "C'mon man please! I'll pay you like last time!" he begged. Felix grimaced, he really didn't need Changbin and Seungmin knowing about that. "Look, you gotta do some work on your own okay? We're in College now, you can't cruise by on other people's work" he said firmly.

Felix felt internally proud of himself for that one, but Dal wouldn't take no for an answer. "Can we go somewhere, uhh more private? I don't wanna make you uncomfortable in front of your friends or anything" he added.

Changbin opened his mouth to say something, but Seungmin hushed him. "He can handle this on his own", Felix heard him whisper. "Yeah, fine," he said. Reluctantly, Felix followed Dal out of the cafeteria and to a secluded corner of the main lecture hall.

"Look man. I'm not asking for much, just like a paragraph or two! It's not that much, I'm busy and just need help getting started" Dal further explained. "No! This is like the 5th time, and I've heard you use the same excuse for every one! Do your own work!" Felix retorted.

"I still have that video, y'know", Dal added.

Felix froze, his mind went back to that night. He wanted to make more friends, and Dal seemed like a pretty chill guy, he got invited to a party with him, and he felt it'd be a good chance to meet some more people. It only took 2 drinks for Felix to learn he did not have a high alcohol tolerance whatsoever. The other guys caught on and made him do a lot of embarrassing things, but considering the status of their college, no one really recorded anything. Except for Dal.

"Blackmail? Really? That's low, even for you Dal. I thought you were a friend" Felix said

"I thought you were too! But here you are having a fit cuz I'm asking for a tiny little favor? C'mon"

Felix rolled his eyes. "Again, this is like your 5th "favor"!" He yelled. "Dude, why are you being like this? You helped out every other time, just this last time and I'll leave you alone. I promise! I'll pay you if you want!"

"For the last time the answer is no!", Felix tried to walk away but he suddenly felt Dal grab onto his arm, "What!?" he turned around and yelled, "Let go of me!"

"Look just one or two paragraphs! C'mon! I'll fuck off after that, just do it please!", Dal pleaded.

Felix felt his heart pounding in his chest, Dal wouldn't let go and he could feel himself starting to panic. He looked around for Changbin or Seungmin, but they weren't around, no one was. Shit!

"Let! Me! Go!" Felix demanded while pulling on his arm. "Dude! Just do it! C'mon! I could post that video if I wanted too!"

Felix started to hyperventilate. He didn't know what to do when:

"Hey! What the fuck let him go!", Changbin and Seungmin rounded the corner, Dal released Felix's arms and he hurried over to the two.

"What the hell is your problem!?" Seungmin demanded getting closer to Dal. "Chill out! I was just asking for a favor" he defended with a scowl.

Seungmin got even closer, "If you touch Felix again then-"

"What?" Dal asked, "What are you gonna do huh!? Look at you and look at me, c'mon man!" Dal mocked. Seungmin glared at him, he got right up into Dal's face before growling, "You touch him again, we beat your ass, got it?"

Dal grabbed Seungmin by the shoulders and slammed him into a nearby wall, "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to!"

Changbin rushed over and shoved Dal out of the way, "Dude! What is your problem!", he asked while standing in front of Seungmin defensively.

"Your boy ran up on ME first!" Dal argued, "You wanna go to? Cuz we can go!",

Changbin shook his head, "No one's trying to fight you, you're the one throwing a tantrum because we told you to fuck off!"

"All I wanted to do was talk to Felix, and then you other two dumbasses run up on me!"

"You were trying to get him to do your work, how about you do your own bitch?" Changbin replied smugly.

"You motherfucker!" Dal yelled, suddenly he felt an intense pain through his face, he stumbled back and looked up, realizing the other boy had punched him in the face.

Dal seemed to realize what he had done too, his face turning from one to anger to worry and concern. "Oh shit, shit shit shit I can get expelled for this! Look I'm sorry man okay I just..fuck!" he rambled before turning and running off.

Seungmin and Felix went over to Changbin to make sure he was alright. "Are you okay?" Felix asked, "I'm so sorry I got you two involved"

Changbin shook his head, "No, no you're fine. He's the one who threw a fit and tried to force you to do his work." Changbin reassured.

"What an asshole!" Seungmin scoffed.

Changbins nose was bleeding slightly, "Let's get you fixed up alright", Seungmin said before they began to walk away.

So much for sticking up for myself, Felix thought bitterly. He just hoped the other times would be easier. And that Dal wouldn't come back.
