Who Knew?

Chapter Twenty-Five

Hyunjin had made it through his first class without flirting with Felix too much. It was just so easy when they could sit next to each other, and the teacher couldn't really see them from their seats. Unfortunately, Felix was actually a good student, so he quickly put a stop to Hyunjin's flirting (for now), as he wanted to get caught up with the schoolwork he missed. The taller boy probably wouldn't have listened if Felix hadn't threatened him with not letting him paint him anymore. 

However, the hour-long class did eventually come to an end, separating the pair until lunch. Heading to his 2nd class of the day, Hyunjin made sure to give Felix a small peck on his forehead before heading to his dreadful Korean Grammer class, making sure to glance back at the bright pink Felix before he walked into his classroom. 

Hyunjin sat down at one of the desks at the back of his classroom, a proud smile on his face as he replayed Felix's blushing face in his mind. Oh, how he loved the way he could so easily make the younger boy flustered. Hyunjin's smile only grew wider when he remembered that Felix had agreed to let Hyunjin paint him sometime. 

Hyunjin had always enjoyed drawing and such, but painting was what he really loved. And what he loved even more was having a live image to paint. He had been wanting to paint the freckled boy for a while now, but he didn't want to do it based on a picture, much less his memory. (Even though Felix's face was permanently stained in his head.) He wanted to actually be there with the boy, seeing how he expressed different emotions, and playing around with what pose he would be in. The idea was simply so exciting to him.

Minho walked into his second class just a few seconds before the bell rang, immediately spotting Hyunjin, who was smirking to himself at the back of the classroom. Minho sat down beside him, watching how the taller boy hadn't even noticed him yet. 

One of their classmates, Yeonjun, had noticed it as well, turning and whispering to Minho, "He's been sitting and giggling like that for the past 3 minutes. I don't think he even realizes he's at school yet." 

Minho chuckled in response, glancing over at his friend and noticing the soft blush on his face. Who was he thinking about? 

Minho reached over and waved a hand in front of Hyunjin's eyes, instantly gaining his attention. 

Now, noticing his friend, Hyunjin quickly asked, "Oh Minho, do you know what Felix's favorite color is? I thought it was blue, but now I'm second-guessing myself...." 

Minho rolled his eyes, "Hello to you too, Hyunjin." 

"Oh yeah, hey Minho. Now, is his favorite color actually blue?" Hyunjin quickly spoke again. 

The older simply sighed, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is blue. You might want to ask him, though." Hyunjin nodded his head, a small smile washing over his face. 

Minho couldn't help but watch his friend in confusion. Was Hyunjin blushing over Felix before? Or was it unrelated? Hyunjin never mentioned anything about him liking boys, but I guess he also never mentioned anything about liking girls either. 

Based on his actions from earlier that morning, I guess it wouldn't be all too surprising if Hyunjin did like Felix in a romantic way. He has never been that touchy or affectionate with anyone before. 

Would Hyunjin even tell him if he did have a crush on someone, especially if it was one of their friends? Him and Hyunjin were close, but Hyunjin wasn't exactly an open book. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. 

"Hey Hyunjin?" Minho whispered to the boy beside him, trying not to gain the teachers attention as the lesson had started. 

"Hmm?" The taller boy hummed in response, not bothering to look over at Minho.
