Betting On A Boy // Hyunlix

Rumors

Tonight was the first party of spring break. I was ready to let loose and get completely wasted. If there's anyone that needs it, it would be me.

"Is he here yet?" I asked Minho before taking a sip of my drink.

"Jisung!" He called out and waved him over.

They've been getting along nicely, especially after their 'hang out'. It was definitely a date but Minho still likes to fight me on it. Just as I thought he would, he paid for dinner, held his hand while they walked around Han River, and kissed his cheek when he dropped Jisung off - in that specific order too. As for me? No luck. But I was hoping that would change tonight.

"Hey." Jisung smiled, casually standing next to Minho. He may not know I know what their relationship entails so he's trying to be nonchalant.

"Who's this?" I asked Minho, playing along.

"This is Jisung." He nodded, understanding what I was doing. "He's a good friend of mine."

I looked at the younger one and smiled once I noticed his blushing cheeks. That Lee Know charm got him quick.

"And what about you?" I looked at the quiet one standing next to Jisung.

"This is Felix." He introduced his friend for him.

He's cute, especially this close up. Every time I've seen him, it's been from afar.

"I'm Hyunjin." I greeted. "Nice to meet you." Felix nodded, remaining quiet. "Do you not talk or something?" I teased.

"He just moved here from Australia so he doesn't like to talk much," Jisung answered.

How are you going to move to an entirely new country and not speak the language? Maybe that's what Minho was referring to when he said good luck.

"I can speak Korean." Felix finally said.

My eyes widened, not expecting the low tone of his voice. He resembles a baby bird yet sounds like a demon. I'll admit, it's quite attractive.

"Do you just prefer English?" I asked, wanting to find out more about him. He shrugged his shoulders, not really answering my question. "Do you wanna get a drink with me?"

"Don't you already have one?" He pointed to the one in my hand. I stared at it, put it to my lips, chugged the rest, then threw it behind me.

"Nope." His laugh was adorable. I liked the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled. "Wait a second." I leaned closer, examining his features more closely. "Are those freckles?" I started to laugh in disbelief, but apparently, that was the wrong move. His smile completely fell then covered his face. "I'm sorry, I wasn't making fun of them. I've just never seen someone with that many before. I like them, they're cute."

"Hyunjin, we're gonna go get a drink," Minho interjected, taking Jisung by the wrist and leading him away.

"Do you want one too?" I asked Felix.

"I don't drink." He shyly said.

If I could roll my eyes, I would. Who the hell comes to a party and doesn't drink?

"What about just one shot?"

"I don't drink with people I don't know." He specified from his previous statement.

"What if I want to get to know you?"

"Why?" He genuinely seemed confused.

"Why wouldn't I want to? If our best friends are now friends, shouldn't we be friends too?"

"Good point." He nodded, slightly blushing. "I'm sorry, I'm a little awkward around new people."

"It's okay." His shy personality was slightly a turnoff, I'll admit. My type is currently in your face and confident - hence Keeho and Wooyoung. But for the sake of this bet, I'll play along and make him comfortable.
