"uh... where are we going?"

Jeongin asked as he woke up. he didn't seem to be too sick anymore. hell, he seemed perfectly fine. just tired.

"we're making our way to the city to get more food and clothes. shops are closing down because of the system deeming them 'imperfect' so there's a shit ton of stuff we can take"

Changbin said. thankfully he wasn't driving anymore. i do feel bad because he was driving most of the time with all of us being sick. Minho is driving now.

"get out and i'll park"

Minho dropped us off at an empty convenience store as he went to go park.

the rest of us jumped out and started taking what we needed. we grabbed a lot of cereal. it doesn't go bad so might as well eat it all the time.

"y/n look"

Jeongin pulled me towards a little stand where there were magnets and keychains for tourists.

"these are kinda cute huh?"

i asked him. he looked so in love with the little keychains with animals on them. he seemed to love the fox one in particular.

"we can take this one and put it on the backpack"

i suggested as i took it off the stand.

"really?? YAYAYAYAAYAY"

Jeongin said happily as he took it to go put on the backpack. i laughed a little at his childishness. it's cute and honestly a nice change from the serious mood.

he left all the cereal behind though so i piled it in my arms and went to go find a basket.

"careful love. you're gonna trip and drop all those boxes, and we can't have that happen can we?"

Felix said as he winked and took some boxes from my arms, walking alongside me as i continued shopping.

"you know y/n, everyone's in love with you"

he said out of nowhere. i turned to him quickly, and he must have laughed because of the shock on my face.

"what makes you say that?"

i asked as i kept walking down the aisles. i picked up things for all the members: chocolate, gum, etc.

"haven't you seen the way Chan and Seungmin try to get your attention? Minho too, but only recently. the others just look at you with googly eyes"

Felix said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"you must be imagining it. there's no way they would actually love me. it's been a month of us living together to escape a false utopia"

"why wouldn't they love you?"

he asked with genuine curiosity. at least i thought it was. i was never the best at judging peoples' characters.

"uh, i'm covered in dust and haven't bathed for a couple days"

i said.

"i don't know about them but i think you're pretty. and strong. you've been the one holding all of us together besides Chan and Minho"

Felix said. he seemed earnest as he smiled softly at me. and for the first time in a while, i started to feel relaxed. you can't blame me. i can't relax much in these conditions.

"but you know, Chan and Seungmin haven't approached you like i have huh? they didn't come up to you and call you pretty like i did?"

he said slyly. he kinda reminded me of a smart puppy with the way he was seeking affirmation.

"no one called me pretty, but that's what happens when you only see one girl for so long. you believe she's pretty. i'm sure one day you'll find someone who really fits your standards"

with that, i brushed his comment off and went to go grab first aid and water. apparently there are no fucking baskets here, but there are backpacks. useful.

"but i really do think you're pretty and strong and reliable"

Felix muttered something as i walked to another shelf, but i assumed he was just talking to himself.

i shoved first aid kits and other medical supplies into one backpack with water in the other. with that, i think my shopping was done.

suddenly i was pulled back lightly by Felix. i looked at him in confusion.

"why is the sun setting that way?"

he asked as he pointed to the setting sun and back at the compass he found.

"what's wrong with it?"

i asked. i heard footsteps approach from behind. i turned around to find Chan holding a box of lollipops.

"the compass says that the way the sun is setting is east. the sun always sets in the west"

Chan said with slight annoyance in his voice. the three of us locked eyes.

"the compass is broken."
