BALANCE || Hyunlix

Chapter 50 - Balance

The night of the final show was in the spirit of celebration. Apart from the dance major, of course other majors also celebrated. Some groups of students went into the city, others stayed in the dorms and went from room to room to party secretly. It was the only night of the school year when the school staff were more benevolent and blatantly ignored the fact that most of the students were breaking the rules. Unless they'd do something really stupid.

Other dance students wanted to take Hyunjin with Felix to the club to celebrate, but to be honest, after months of preparation for the show, they weren't in the mood for more dancing and loud music. So, they just said goodbye to them and their families, who congratulated them on such a great performance, and then together with the 3RACHA boys, Minho, Seungmin, and Jeongin, they went to Felix's dorm.

"Can you explain to me why eight of us are trying to fit into a room that only fits three people?" Seungmin complained, now trapped in Chan's grip on his own bed. Chan's legs were also wrapped around him and Seungmin had practically no way to escape.

"Since we are always hosting you, it is only right that you welcome us to your place as well." Changbin instructed the younger. He truly is a man of principle. And then, inspired by Chan, he laid on top of Jeongin, who was successfully hid under the covers on his bed until now.

"I.N!!! Hug me back!!!" Changbin shouted loudly and Jeongin had a troubled expression as he thought he just went deaf.

"And also, because we want to experience that nostalgia. Remember when we lived in the dorm together?" Minho answered Seungmin's previous question as he and Jisung poured drinks into plastic cups.

"You lived together in the dorm?" Felix wondered, trying to imagine what it must've been like.

"Yeah, me, Changbin and Minho. That's how we started being friends. Remember how we had to buy that new mattress?" Chan recalled.

"Mattress?" Seungmin repeated after him, now resigned to the fact that Chan wouldn't let him go from his grip.

"Yeah! Do you know how Chan has that laptop that no one is allowed to touch?" Changbin immediately started telling the story and waited for everyone to nod to his question, "Well, he's guarding it so much mainly because his previous one literally burned down. On that mattress."

Everyone started laughing and Felix had to provoke Chan a little more: "How could this happen to you? Don't you understand computers at all?'

"He doesn't understand it at all, he even went to bed with it, so it overheated in those covers." Minho answered for him, handing everyone cups with drinks.

"That was so annoying, whenever he turned on that laptop at night, you thought a plane was landing next to you." Changbin imitated the sound, and everyone laughed again.

"Okay, fine! But since then, I've been extra careful with my laptop, and you didn't have to put out any fires." Chan defended himself, but he was laughing the whole time the boys were telling the story.

"Well, the old men ended reminiscing and now it's time for a toast! To Hyunlix!" Han stood on the chair and raised his cup. Everyone just stared at him in confusion. "To Hyunjin and Felix. I made up a couple name for them." He explained quickly, rolling his eyes at them. An understanding 'Aaaah' echoed through the room, and everyone finally drank.

Hyunjin and Felix smiled at each other for the nth time this evening and drank from their cups. Then they answered all possible questions from the boys about their performance, how they got ideas for individual choreographies, what was the most difficult for them, and on the contrary, what they didn't even hesitate in, and then they also told some funny experiences from training or, on the contrary, conflicts they had to solve.
