Felix glanced over at Jisung who was too busy talking to Hyunjin and Chan to notice the Australian's gaze. He tilted his head slightly to his left, wheels turning inside his brain as he continued observing. Changbin noticed and sat down beside the foreigner, "hey, you okay?"

"Yeah," the younger nodded, looking over at the older for a moment before turning back to Jisung, "just ... thinking."

"About what?" Changbin questioned, wrapping an arm around the younger male, gently pulling him a little closer to himself.

"Jisung," Felix replied as he quickly glanced at the older man beside him, just to turn back to Jisung and Hyunjin, "he's just...he's been acting kinda odd recently, no?"

Changbin hummed gently, "maybe a little. Last week he asked me if I knew what he says when he misses breakfast and complains to Chan about it."

"Yeah, he asked me that too," Felix nodded again, letting out a gentle sigh as he relaxed into the older's hold, leaning further into him.

"He was also acting strange that morning, too," Changbin pointed out, "he ran out of his room and guzzled water like, and I'm quoting Hyunjin here, 'he spent thirty-seven days in the Sahara.'"

Felix laughed and looked at the male beside him, "why such a specific number of days?"

"That's what I said," Changbin laughed too before shrugging as he continued, "Minho had slept over and even he wasn't aware of what was going on. Which is strange because that's Minho, you know?"

"Minho?" Felix asked as he looked over towards the said male who was only playing on his phone by himself, "he doesn't even know? Really?"

Changbin shook his head despite the fact that the younger one wasn't even looking at him, "I know, it's weird."

"Yeah," the blonde replied with a short nod, looking back over at Jisung again.

"But hey," Changbin said softly, grabbing onto the younger's hand which pulled his attention back to the older, "don't worry, I'm sure everything is okay. Let's just have a good practice, okay?"

Felix couldn't help but smile at him as Changbin traced the back of his hand with the pad of his thumb, "yeah, okay."

"Okay, good, now let's get back to business," Changbin said, bringing the younger's hand up to kiss the back of it.

The foreigner nodded, pushing the topic to the back of his mind at least for the time being. And that time came to an end the second they finished practice. Changbin smiled gently as he watched the blonde jog over to Jisung who was talking to Seungmin, "hey, Seung, gonna steal Jisung here for a while, he probably won't be back so don't wait for him, okay bye."

Seungmin chuckled, "okay," and he shook his head as he walked over to one of the couches to sit down, Felix pulling Jisung into the closest corner, "Lix, what's wrong?"

"Funny, I was actually just about to ask you the same thing," the blonde replied, hands finding a place on his hips.

Jisung chuckled softly, "what? What are you talking about?"

"Are you kidding? You've been acting weird for weeks," Felix stated, eyebrows furrowed, "are you alright? Do you need a little break before Rock-Star's release this week?"

"Why is everyone asking me that?" Jisung questioned, though rhetoric, so he spoke up again before Felix got the chance to reply, "I'm okay, Lix. I've just got a lot on my mind is all."
