Felix went to Hyunjin's house that night. They are both talking in the kitchen.

Felix leaned over the counter, looking over at Hyunjin who was drying the dishes. "Hey Hyunjin, I need your help with something."

Hyunjin turned his head towards Felix. "What's up?"

"Mmh, today Jisung complimented me..." Felix said blushing "he said I was pretty, because of my lip balm".

"Wow, bet you'll wear that everyday" Hyunjin chuckled.

"Stop! It's not like that" Felix hitted Hyunjin's arm.

"I'm just kidding!" Hyunjin tried to defend himself with the plate he was drying.

"Okay, I want to give Jisung a lip balm, just like mine. Then, I'll invite him over for dinner at my place."

"What about Chan?"

"He said something about being very busy this week he'll work until late".

Hyunjin raised an eyebrow. "Why do you need my help for that?"

"I was hoping you could help me pick out the lip balm." Felix said with a smile.

Hyunjin chuckled. "Sure, I can help with that. But what's the dinner plan?"

"Friday, we'll cook something together, just the two of us. Chan won't be around tonight, so we'll have some privacy," Felix said, feeling excited about the plan.

Hyunjin nodded. "Sounds good to me. Let's go pick out that lip balm."

Felix grinned and followed Hyunjin out of the kitchen.

-

Every day, Minho would suddenly appear just as Jisung's shift ended and invite him out for dinner.

Finally, on Friday night, the last day of their work week, Felix managed to talk to Jisung. He and Hyunjin had come up with a brilliant plan to give Jisung a lip balm just like his own, and then invite him over for dinner. With Chan out of the way, they could finally have a private conversation. It was a risky plan, but Felix was desperate to spend time alone with Jisung.

And so was his plan.

While cleaning the shop, Felix pulled out something from his pocket and turned to Jisung with a smile. "Ji!" he called out.

"Hum?" Jisung looked over at him.

"So, I bought this for you," Felix said, placing a lip balm in Jisung's hand.

"For me? Really? It's not my birthday, is it?" Jisung asked, confused.

"Haha, I know, but you said the other day you liked it, so I bought one for you," Felix explained, laughing.

Jisung looked at the gift in his hand.

"You said that it was pretty, so maybe you want to try it," Felix suggested, feeling shy.

"Thank you, let me try it" Jisung smiled and looked around "ahn, we don't have a mirror here".

"Let me help you" Felix offered and took the lip balm.

"Ah, ok"

As he stood in front of Jisung, he stared at his lips and gulped.

"Is something wrong?" Jisung asked.

"No, no," Felix shook his head.

"My lips are probably very dry," he said, touching his own lips.

"They are cute," Felix said, grabbing Jisung's chin, causing him to blush. "As always," he whispered, applying the lip balm and tinting Jisung's lips a slightly pink shade

"Cute," Felix said as he finished and Jisung smiled shyly.

They were facing each other, and Felix took a deep breath, staring at Jisung's lips. "Jisung..." he began to say, but the doorbell rang, interrupting him. "Fuck, I forgot the door," Felix cursed under his breath, looking down with his hand in a fist.

Minho walked in, and seeing Felix and Jisung close to each other, he dryly swallowed and stopped in his tracks.

"Minho?" Jisung said, walking to him.

Minho stopped looking at Jisung forgetting his own words.

After a few seconds of silence Jisung waved in front of Minho's face "oy, are you here?"

Minho came back to reality "dinner?" he asked, smiling.

"Thank god, I was hoping for this, I'm starving, hold on a second we're finishing" Jisung left and Minho sat at a table near the door.

Jisung soon returned with his backpack on his shoulder and went to Felix who hugged him.

"I took a look at the mirror now and I love it! Thanks!" Jisung said in a happy tone.

"It really looks good on you" Felix then handed back Jisung the lip balm.

"Thank you, we'll talk later, ok?" Jisung nodded and Felix copied.

"Ok, bye" Felix leaned and kissed the younger's cheek, which made Jisung blush.

The freckled boy is sad but he won't lose this competition.

Minho watched the scene with a pinch in his heart and a dry swallow.
