Second Chance❤️ (A Changlix Story)

A.N - For Asamisataysauce bc someone's impatient 🙄🙄 (ISTG I'm joking y'all)

It's literally been almost a month, my bad 🫣

IT was a bright and sunny Thursday morning. Felix woke to hear San yelling for the 5th time to get ready for school. The Australian rubbed his tired eyes, struggling to keep them open as he adjusted to the light that flooded his room. The sun shone over the dorms, covering the building in a warm and bright aura.

The boy shuffled in his covers, hugging one of his many plush toys close to his chest. He yawned for a significant amount of time before checking the time. 8:05 am. It took him 6 minutes to walk to school, 4 minutes if he didn't help the same lady cross the street like any other day. Who was he kidding, he wasn't going to let Mrs. Cheng cross the street by herself after her hip surgery.

Felix blinked a couple of times before he slipped off of his bed and dragged himself to his bathroom. He splashed his exhausted face with water and patting it dry with a towel. He stared into the mirror and slightly flinched as he glanced at his reflection.

"Jihu always said my eyes were his favourite part of my looks." The boy muttered as he tilted, turned his head to look at his insecurities up close. But my eyes are just... average... nothing special to look at, like brown dots stuck to my face. All of me is average.

"HOW DID YOU EVER BELIEVE
JIHU FOR A SECOND..."

I know.

"LIX?! I'M GONNA WALK WITH WOO TO SCHOOL. DON'T BE LATE, YEAH? GET SOME BREAKFAST!" The younger yelled, alarming the older. "SEE YOU SAN!" The older of the two replied, tearing his eyes away from the mirror.

Felix heard the entrance door shut close and the blonde sighed as he stared at his uniform lying uselessly on the floor, screaming to be put on. I can't fucking do this... The boy childishly whined and dragged himself to his bed. 8:10 am.

He was tired, although he didn't feel like going back to bed or shutting his eyes anytime soon. Felix was tired of everything. Just thinking about Jihu made the boy want to crawl into a ball and cry for days and days as he would regret all of his life decisions.

"I knew you'd look amazing with this new look. The blonde hair makes you look so... hot..." Jihu placed a soft yet sensual kiss on the younger's cheek which was now red due to his boyfriend's comment.
"Stop~", the boy whined as he placed his hands onto his burning cheeks, "...but thank you for the suggestion about the hair. I honestly really like it." The boy muttered, fidgeting with his fingers.
"I love you so much Felix, you have no idea."
"I love you so much too."

The head of hair he owned only reminded the boy of the one that got away. Felix adored Jihu, he loved how the fellow Australian made him feel, he loved how Jihu would make him laugh, he loved the way the older would make his heart flutter.

"Do you think I should dye my hair again? I'm feeling fun and different- maybe blue, or should I stick with blonde?" The Australian asked as fiddled with his hair, staring at his reflection.

"Changbin..."

"Honestly Lix... I really liked your hair when it was just black." The older replied as he approached the younger. "Oh- really?" Felix stammered as he now couldn't tear his eyes away from his locks.
"Well- I'm- I'm not saying I don't like the blonde, it's just- I'm not used to it, that's all. I'm sure I will someday. I'm just saying- every time I imagine your face, I just see you with black hair."

"Ah fuck..." the boy muttered to himself, "I can't go to school like this." Felix sighed glancing at his broken reflection. The Australian grabbed his wallet and lazily brushed his hair before leaving the dorm with absolutely no intention of going to class. He couldn't face everyone when he was still an emotional wreck.

He ran down the stairs and left the building, running towards the city. The Australian found the store and was immediately overwhelmed as the bell above the door jingled.

He couldn't believe what he was doing.

"Alright, Kwa Jongsoo?"
"Here."
"Lee Felix?"
The Australian was nowhere in sight.

"Lee Felix? Oh, he's not here. Who's his roommate?"
"I am, Mr. Nam." San spoke as he stood up.
"If Felix is feeling unwell, he's required to notify the administrators so they can put it on his attendance records. Is- is he okay?" The teacher asked with a sigh.

"He's not sick, I'm not sure why he's not here."
"Did he seem unwell?"
"Not that I noticed, no."
"Could you call him? It's really unlike him to skip class." The student nodded and left the classroom, closing the door behind him.

San waited as his phone beeped, buzzed and rung, yet no response from his roommate.

"Hey, it's Felix! Sorry, I'm in the middle of something right now, leave a message after the beep!"

"Lix! It's me, San. Mr. Nam wanted me to call you and check if you're okay. I wish you told me if you are sick right now, I would've gotten you some medicine... please stay safe with whatever you're up to now."

San shoved his phone into his pocket and sighed, wondering where the older could possibly be at this time. Felix knew the importance of education especially when he tended to be at the top of his classes. San found it extremely out of character of the blond to skip school.

"Okay! You're all set! You look amazing!"

Felix looked into the mirror with widened eyes. This was exactly what he needed. His body suddenly was overcome with a sense of relief and he felt quite calm. He raked his hand though his new head of hair with a large grin and he thanked the staff after paying them.

Stepping out of the hairdressers, he certainly made heads turn, in a good way or bad way, he didn't know  or frankly care at the time, that was the least of his concerns. He felt a tad more confident and that is what mattered to him.

"Uh... ex-excuse me?"

Felix tilted his head as a girl in pigtails held her phone towards him with shaky hands.

"Yes?"

A.N - What's this girl doing out of school too SMH 😔 STAY in school, kids.
