Hyunjin was looking outside the window.

"Hey it's alright now...you don't have to break up with him" jackson said looking at him with a small smile.

They were returning from the CEO office after jackson barged in and confronted the CEO to change his decision.

Flashback..

Jackson was sitting outside the CEO's office when he heard the door open. He looked to his side to see hyunjin coming out of the office. He quickly got up and went near him " hey what he wanted to talk about?" He asked but hyunjin didn't said anything instead he hugged him. Jackson would feel hyunjin trembling and his shirt getting wet "hey what's wrong?" He asked again.

"He..he..wants me..to break up..with felix" hyunjin stammered.

"What?" Jackson broke the hug "is he crazy, he can't do that"

"But he ...he said" hyunjin wouldn't complete when jackson barged into the office.

"Mr. Park" jackson called out.

"Jackson? What are you doing here?" Mr. Park replied.

"You can't do this. You can't make hyunjin and felix break up"

"Oh..so you knew about it too?"

"Yeah I did. And I want you to stop whatever you wanted to do."

"I can....and you don't know why I'm doing this. Our reputation will get ruin"

"I know and I have a very good idea by which your reputation will stay good and they don't have to split apart."

Mr. Park gave him a look "I'm listening"

Felix stood in front hyunjin's apartment. He did a lot of searching about hyunjin and whatever he found says that hyunjin is an idol but he couldn't believe it. He wanted to hear it from hyunjin.

He rang the bell but no one answered him so he rang it again. He kept waiting for several minutes but no one opened the door.

"He's not home" felix looked to his side when he heard someone. There was an old lady standing beside him with lots of paper bags, probably coming back from grocery.

"Do you know where he went?" Felix asked

"He said that he had some important things to do" the old lady said "you know idol stuff. I sometimes feel bad for that boy he works so hard" the lady laughed.

"Oh..is that so?" Felix mumbled.

"Are you his friend by the way?"

"Huh?..oh..yes...uh I will leave now" Felix said and ran out of the apartment.

"Kids nowadays"

Felix went straight to his apartment. He saw beomgyu sitting in front of the TV when he got inside. And by the look of it he looked really serious. "Hey what are you watching so seriously?" Felix asked as he was walking to his room

"Ohh...you know hyunjin? From straykids? He is dating someone and they are going to make a public appearance" beomgyu said, his eyes still stuck to the screen.

Felix haulted on his steps when he heard beomgyu. His eyes went wide 'hyunjin is going to reveal us' he thought. He was feeling scared, nervous, anxious but a little bit happy  too. Maybe that's why hyunjin didn't told him about his identity because he wanted to reveal them to the world first and then tell him about his identity ?

Felix turned on his heels and walked to the living room, he stood near the couch.

'And now for the most awaited moment. After getting chased by dispatch for so many days. Hwang Hyunjin finally revealed his girlfriend for the first time in front of his fans'

Girlfriend? But he doesn't have a girlfriend. He has a boyfriend so why are they saying that he is going to reveal his girlfriend?

Felix stood there confused with so many questions. His heart was beating so fast, it could be heard in the whole room. His palms started sweating as he watched hyunjin appear on the tv screen.

And as he do so, felix heart stopped beating. The room became silent and everything stopped.

Hyunjin was with a girl. They both were smiling together with hyunjin's hand on her waist.

Felix froze at his place, he couldn't take his eyes off of the TV screen. Hot tears started to fall down his cheeks. "Damn that was unexpected" beomgyu exclaimed "when I heard the news of his girlfriend I thought it would be ryujin or yuna I wasn't expecting it to be yeji" he said with a disappointing look "what do you think" he turned around to look at felix but he wasn't there. "Where did he go?" Beomgyu questioned to himself but shrugged it off and focused again on the newly announced couple.

Felix locked himself inside his room, he slid down against the door as he tried to muffled his cries. "Why?..." He mumbled as he hold onto his knees and let his heart to cry.

Suddenly his phone rang but felix ignored it. He isn't in the mood to hear anyone's voice. The phone stopped after a few more rings and felix thought he can be in silence now but he was wrong as the phone rang again.

Felix tried to ignore it again but the ringing just annoyed him more. He picked the phone with a groaned, he looked at the caller ID just for his heart to ache more.

"Hyun💛"

A wave of sadness washed all over felix again, his eyes got wet and he couldn't kept the tears from falling. He couldn't kept his voice from sounding.
The phone fell from his hand as he didn't had the strength to pick up the call.

______

Hyunjin was pacing around the room with his phone. 'why are you not picking up my calls?' he sighed and sat down on the couch.

"Hey? Everything okay?"

"No"

Yeji slowly walked and sat down next to hyunjin, she put her hand on his shoulder "everything will be okay, don't worry" she assured.

"How can I not worry? He is not picking up my calls" hyunjin jolted up.

"Who?" Yeji asked confused

Hyunjin sighed "felix...my..my boyfriend" he hesitated a little with the word boyfriend as he didn't knew how yeji was going to react.

"What?" Yeji was shocked to hear that "so you mean...those rumours were true?"

"Yes" he sighed again.

Yeji kept silent for a while but then spoke up "you know I think he saw the news on TV that's why he isn't picking up your calls"

"I think so too and that's why I'm trying to call him."

Yeji looked at hyunjin "let him be" she blunted.

Hyunjin looked at yeji confused "what?"

Yeji chuckled "I mean....let him be alone for now. After finding out about you and then our 'dating' he must be upset. And so he isn't talking to you."

"Then what should I do?"

"You can talk to him tomorrow and tell him everything and also apologize for lying"

"I think...you are right" he said after thinking a lot. "Thanks yeji I don't know what I would have done without you" he smiled.

"Ofcourse anything for...." She took a pause "friends" she smiled.
