The rest of the day is spent with both of them cuddled on the couch watching movies and talking about everything. Chan had sent a text to Jisung telling he'll be able to go to the beach alone today, which earned him back a thumbs-up emoji.

Jisung is back when they're watching a third movie with Changbin asleep against him, on the couch. "Yo."

"Hey Sungie," Chan whispers, hand carding through Changbin's hair soothingly, his head currently on his lap. Changbin had told him it was one of the best places to sleep on, he likes his chest too, "how was school, did you talk with Hyunjin ?"

Jisung hums, puts his shoes on the shoe racks, he looks weirdly flustered. Chan smirks, "I'm guessing it went well."

The youngest huffs but nods as he sits next to Chan, slumps completely against the couch to merge with it. He doesn't talk, simply stares at the ceiling, ears flushed.

Chan waits patiently.

"He apologized."

Chan breaks into a grin and ruffles his hair to annoy him, giggles when Jisung shoves his hand away, "What else ?"

Jisung puckers his lips, looks younger like this, "We talked a bit and he's... clumsy, but nice."

"Not a cliché rich man."

"Not a cliché rich man," Jisung parrots back before he buries his face in his hands, "he's so different from what I imagined, I feel bad."

Chan rubs his back in sympathy, "Did you apologize ?"

"I did, and he said it was okay, he's used to this," Jisung tells him and looks at Chan with guilty eyes, "how am I supposed to feel better after he said that ?"

Chan winces.

"Feel better after what ?" Changbin asks in confusion, woken up by their conversation. He blinks a bit to process the situation, then lifts his head, "What were you talking about ?"

Chan pets Changbin's head while Jisung answers, "My roommate, Hyunjin, he's like, super handsome and I kind of ghosted him which I shouldn't have, but we talked it out and I-" Jisung blinks and pauses in his story, "- you okay hyung ?"

When Chan looks back at Changbin, he's surprised to see him shocked, lips parted.

"You never told me his name," He breathes out, while Chan and Jisung share a look.

"Do you know him ?"

"I- uh, I think Felix knows him, he talks about him sometimes," Changbin replies quickly, but his eyes look lost in his thoughts, Chan can almost see the gears fuming.

"Felix ? Hyunjin told me he had a friend called Felix and he's a life-guard too !" Jisung looks excited for some reason, "Is it him ?"

Chan snorts, endeared by his excitement, "It's completely him, I'll introduce you later, don't worry." When he looks out the window, he's surprised to see the sun already setting, "oh, it's time," he tells them and slides down the couch into his wheelchair, "I'll be going then."

"To the beach ?" Jisung asks while Changbin cuddles against Jisung annoyingly.

"Do you want me to drive you there ?"
