I liked reading. Mostly mangas. I liked watching anime too. All the time. I like immersing myself into imaginary worlds exploring and testing the very limits of what is possible. Because in real life those limitations are quite constrained.

Felix got me into reading the Harry potter series in our last year of middle school. And it instantly became my favourite bed time pal. Not everything about the world of the boy who lived was rainbows and unicorns. Hell, little Potter suffered loss in every shape and form. But perhaps I could relate to that orphan boy. Maybe everytime he defeated the dark, I felt hope sparkling through the words of the books. And maybe through those sparks I wanted to lived in a world of fantasy where the darkest nightmares led to the sweetest dreams, where a happy ending was as possible as magic.

But I knew that like magic, happy endings too don't belong to reality.

Speaking of Lixie, after that night...the night of the school dance, the very next day he told me about this boy he met. Someone from the Hybe school. I, for one was quite skeptical as the freckled boy ranted about this new hot crush while hugging his 'Changbin pillow' close to his chest.

But all that kept him distracted much to my relief, he didn't notice the tear stains on my pillow.

This new crush's name was Jeon Jungkook. He was a high school freshman as well. Amd of course Felix had to tell me the name a hundred times become I could remember it properly. Anyway, they kept texting back and forth for almost the whole school year.

Changbin hyung was definitely not so happy when he got to know about it from Channie hyung. The Dwaekki boy (as Chan hyung calls him) always looked so gloomy every time I saw him at school, as if a dull dark cloud was looming over his head. But after midterms, out of nowhere he shows up in school one day with his new boyfriend called Jimin. They were classmates. The look of reaction on Lixie's face was indescribable. It contradicted every "I am over Binnie" he claimed.

Next we get to know that Jungkook-shi had asked Felix out and the latter said yes. So they too started dating officially. The freckled boy even put away his 'Changbin pillow' at the back of his closet.

I never saw that Jungkook dude that often except for the couple of times that sadist Lixie dragged me with him to third wheel on their coffee dates. But Jungkook-shi seemed kind and good natured from the little interactions we've had. Inspite of all of this I knew that he wasn't the one for Felix. Even Felix himself knew that but well, who am I to judge him. We all like to live in the cosy little town called denial.

I hated seeing both Felix and Changbin hyung so miserable without each other. The older had broken up and got back together with Jimin-shi over four times in the course of four months!

The tension between the two heartbroken love birds would often be defused by the maknae and the puppy boy. Aka Jeongin and Seungmin. Talking of puppies, the very obvious puppy love blooming between the two was so cute! But these cuties were also the more sensible ones in most of the chaotic scenarios.

On the other hand, the full bloomed relationship between Hyunjin and Channie continued to thrive and be as strong as ever. They became the power couple of SKZ High Academia. Well, they did have their ups and downs though, for instance...

*Flashbacks*

"Just look at this! LOOK at this!" Hyunjin screamed way too loudly given Felix and I were lying on the same bed as him. We were having a sleepover at his house since his mom was out of town.
