Reasons to Stay // Hyunin

~7~

"How is my Innie doing~"

Jeongin was shocked. Did Hyunjin just say "my Innie?!" How long have they known each other? They hadn't even talked much, but evidently enough for Hyunjin to claim Jeongin as his. I'm dying, I can barely breathe, I'm shocked and nervous but excited, I'm so embarrassed, I'm about to faint,I think I'm hopelessly in love with you–

"I'm doing o-okay I guess–um, what about you?"

Hyunjin slid off of Jeongin and walked alongside him. "I'm doing amazing, now that you're here," he beamed.

"Wow, um, thanks-!" Jeongin didn't know how to respond to someone flirting with him. This was certainly something new to him, he had hardly gotten any attention from people his age before.

"You'll help me around the school, right? Remember I'm new and this is my first day!" Hyunjin emphasised while looking at Jeongin from the side and quickly added, "What is your class schedule?"

"Okay, I will try to help," Jeongin answered simply and pulled out the schedule on his phone. Surprisingly, they had all the same classes at the same time, except for physical fitness. "Wow! That means we can be together the whole day~" Hyunjin exclaimed, happy.

They walked down to the homeroom together and in the hallway Jeongin felt uncomfortable as he saw Felix who was in the same homeroom too. Felix turned into the classroom and soon Jeongin and Hyunjin were there as well. Jeongin was about to say "Hey Felix" but upon seeing the two, Felix immediately scowled and Jeongin felt annoyed. He put on his "u.u" face and walked over to his seat. The teacher let Hyunjin to sit behind Innie.

Felix observed Jeongin out of the corner of his eye. Then he looked slightly farther back to see Hyunjin, who had that smirk on his face which Felix in the first place had disliked, for what reasons he still didn't know. In fact, he thought Jeongin was being very strange about the whole Hyunjin situation. He was probably just love-blinded, Felix rolled his eyes.

Because Felix knew that Jeongin had problems trusting people and he would be very cold at the beginning if someone were to actually try to get close. It had been that way with Felix and Changbin. But then suddenly Hyunjin came along and Jeongin suddenly opened up to this most unexpected person, in Felix's opinion. After thinking Bang Chan was suspicious in the beginning, wouldn't Jeongin think Hyunjin was fishy too?

There was only one answer and Felix thought it was worthy of another eye roll. Jeongin has a crush on Hyunjin and he's completely whipped. It doesn't help that Hyunjin was such a flirt. And Felix hadn't seen this naive side of Jeongin before because Jeongin hadn't really had a real crush before, at least not what Felix knew of.

Jeongin glanced up and saw Felix looking at him. He put back on his "u.u" and looked back down at his book. Ugh. Epitome of Sassiness.

Then after the session, Jeongin and Felix got up with no intention to speak to each other. Felix felt annoyed as Hyunjin stuck close to Jeongin when they left. How many times had he rolled his eyes already this morning? 

Hyunjin wanted something out of Jeongin for sure.

The day passed with Felix and Jeongin never interacting and Hyunjin stuck to Jeongin at any second possible. Then Jeongin was going home, and Hyunjin was asking to walk back with him. Felix would have thought it was suspicious if he had known, but in the day he was fed up with this behaviour and quickly disappeared once school was out.

"Are you going right home?" Hyunjin asked while Jeongin was preparing his books.

"Yeah I'm planning," Jeongin answered, "you?"

"Hmmmm..." Hyunjin answered, "do you usually walk alone?"

"Yeah...?" Jeongin slowly answered, he thought he knew where this was exactly going and he was still surprised at Hyunjin's interest and longing to be with him, so excessive.

"What direction is your house? Maybe we can walk together!" he offered with a smile. Really, how suspicious this was, but Jeongin was so blind at this point, Hyunjin had completely taken over his heart.

Jeongin waved in the direction of Chan's home, "Over there."

"Ohhh, near the convenience store and bakery?" Hyunjin had done his research.

"Yeah, like right next," Jeongin said, "where's yours?"

"I was actually planning to go get something from Jungjung's before going home," Hyunjin informed casually and avoided Jeongin's question.

"Th-then you will walk with me?" Jeongin looked up and asked shyly.

"Of course~" Hyunjin fluffed Jeongin's hair. He had Jeongin under his thumb and he knew it.

The two started off, talking about light things such as hobbies, music preferences, stuff like that. Hyunjin was trying to remember every detail about Jeongin and he thought it was fun and entertaining to play what he liked calling "victim's game". Poor Jeongin.

As they neared the bakery, the two parted ways and Jeongin walked farther down the sidewalk alone while Hyunjin entered the bakery. He was watching from the window and came out when he didn't think Jeongin would watch him. Then he walked on the sidewalk across the street from Jeongin and tried to keep to see where he was going to the house. Jeongin turned a corner and Hyunjin stayed where he was because he could still see Jeongin. Then Jeongin went up the steps to a certain door.

Yes, 325 Lonely Street, Hyunjin had found the right place. 

Having accomplished the little task, confirming #0208's residence, Hyunjin started off to what's supposed to be Jisung's dorm. He smirked to himself, he didn't feel the least bit bad for innocent Jeongin.

But in his feeling of accomplishment, Hyunjin didn't notice something...or more like someone.

Sure Felix and Jeongin weren't on good terms. But Felix doesn't just ditch his friend like that. If Jeongin won't get himself out of danger, Felix will.

Through the convenient store window, Felix saw Hyunjin walking away from the area. He quickly got up and followed at a safe distance. But Hyunjin got into a taxi at the end of the street.

Felix didn't know what to do and he must have had a stressful look on his face because someone's car stopped in front of him and said, "Hey Lixxie, what's up?"

Felix looked at the driver with surprise, the guy knew his name. Oh wait, it was Seo Changbin. "Hi Binnie-hyung!"

"Hi hi," he smiled, looking up at Felix from the car window. "You looked confused. Did you need a ride?"

"Yes like right away," Felix said, opening the car door and getting inside.

Changbin noticed an urgency, "Are you in a hurry? Where to?"

"I need to follow that taxi," Felix answered while buckling his seat belt. The taxi was already far down the street, but Changbin is a skilled driver and he caught up fast.

Felix tried to explain. "So the guy in the taxi, Hyunjin, I don't know, but maybe he's going home and i have to see where he lives because he's fishy, especially around I.N."

"Ohhh so your on a case," Changbin chuckled.

"Yeah, kind of I guess, but it's important like, and like," Felix dropped his voice, "I think Jeongin has like, a really bad crush on him?"

"Really!" Changbin laughed. "Well first time for him in a while."

"Yes," said Felix, but he was serious. "I don't know...I feel that he's dangerous and I don't want Innie to get hurt...We haven't been on good terms since I told Jeongin my feeling about the situation. He's really blind in this matter."

Changbin nodded and kept a safe distance between him and the taxi. Eventually the taxi entered university campus. Hm, Felix thought. Maybe he was just going there for extra student club/work. But no, the taxi turned into the dorm areas.

Hyunjin got out of the taxi and Changbin parked at a nearby parking lot and they watched. How would Hyunjin get access into the gate as he wasn't a student?

Hyunjin pulled something out of his pocket. Like a card or something. Felix strained to look.

It was an ID and it was blue. Blue card meant he was a student at the state university.

Hey...Felix frowned, yes there's definitely something sketchy with him.
