It was another autumn day in the month that it all started to fall down apart.

cigarettes, smoking, skating and getting high was all they ever felt like doing for the rest of what they have left, they didn't know this was the last of it all.

Silence combined with the smoke in the air made him feel an odd kinda feeling...that it felt nostalgic for a moment.

it was the day he hated the most but why does he hates it even more..

sighed slightly as he cracked his nick to the back, closing his sleepy eyes and breathing the polluted air that felt safe for him.

imagining time finally stop and he gets to stay there forever, not go back to the so called 'home' or whatever that is.

Sighing depressingly loud this time as he brought his knees up to his chest resting his pounding head between them.

"bruh you been sighing for a whole twenty minutes now, give your lungs a break" the mockery yet so soothing  voice blocked his train of thoughts like a bunch of bricks in the middle of the railway.

"My lungs are already cursing me over and over for whatever I'm letting in, it won't matter what I let out now.." he spitted back with a slight scoff at the end that was muffled more than heard.

Patting his back was an expected habit coming from daniel and it sorta comforted yongbok a little bit.

"I'm sure he'll come around eventually...I'm sure he will" in a whispery way he mumbled, while patting his back switched to patting his soft hair.

"I....do you also think what he said is true?...did they-" chocked up on his words with a big lump down his throat making it hard for him to keep on going.

Salty droplets of water roamed around his pupils as he tried to swallow the pain in again, not daring to show it off.

"Shhh...no he was just in the midst of an anger burst, that's all...chan would never mean that, trust me!"

Hugging was the last straw for yongbok now and it all fell down like how a leaf would fall off the branch by the cause of a little huff of an air.

"B-but he said I'm just a...a replacement..."

tears fell like a waterfall and time erased all those tears of his cheeks but it never did erase the words and the pain coming with it.

It was an awkward silence for everyone in the room, but one was not pleased with what is happening infront of his eyes.

"Hyunjin, can I speak with you on private?" minho said, grabbing hyunjin's wrist and stomping his way to the kitchen, leaving the six others in the hallway standing awkwardly like sticks.

"Uhhh...ookay, what about we continue this so interesting conversation inside? come on in...?"

The one that looked like a squirrel stared into felix's eyes with a smile drawn ontop of his face.

"...felix...it's felix" felix said like a whisper and yet it wasn't loud enough, chan got it right and clear...and he fastly turned his attention to the boy with confusion being the only thing roaming around his head.

"well, come on in felix!" the same squirrel guy motioned felix with his arms wide open, welcoming him inside.
