Coffee Shop

🍿Chapter 14🍿

Felix's POV:

It was now Monday so everyone had to go to work which meant I get left here by myself. I've always been alone at home so it should be no trouble.

"You sure you'll be ok here by yourself?", asked Chan.
"Don't worry about me. Just focus on work."

"Ok then. Make sure-"
"Oh Felix! We'll miss you so much!", Jisung interrupted.

"Y'all will be back later."
"Feel free to play any of my games if you want. I don't mind."

"Ok."

"Bye Felix."
"Bye.", I pat Jeongin gently on his head.

"Anyways Minho has a meal plan for you and don't force yourself to eat if you can't.", Chan continued.

"Will do.", I smiled.

I say bye to Minho and he sends me a wave as he walks away.
"Call me if you need anything."

Chan closes the door and I locked it afterwards. I wasn't hungry at the moment so I made myself useful by cleaning.

I cleaned every room in the house except their bedrooms so I wouldn't evade their privacy. When I finished it was mid afternoon.

"I guess I should eat now."

I made my way to the kitchen then took a plate Minho made for me and heated it up. My phone rings.

"Hey Chan."
"Just calling to check on you."
"You don't have to. I'm doing fine."

"I know. But Minho wanted me to check."
"Tell him everything is going peachy."

"I will see you later."
"Bye!" I hang up.

It's nice to have people caring so much about me but at the same time I don't like worrying people.

I took the plate from the microwave and it didn't appeal to my eyes. But I had to eat it. I pushed myself to eat it all then it backfired and I threw it up afterwards.

"Darn."
I rinsed my mouth and looked at myself in the mirror.

"Sigh. I look like a walking skeleton. No one would ever find me attractive."

"Is that what you do you when no one is around? Talk bad about yourself?"

I jumped up when I heard a voice then saw Minho standing there. 

"Gasp! Hyung! H-how long have you been s-standing there?"
"Not long. I came to drop off more bandages for you."

"O-oh. I'm sorry Hyung. I...couldn't hold the food in. I tried so hard to make myself better but it made feel worse in the end."

"I'm not mad. You're doing your best and that's what matters. Just don't keep forcing yourself. And give yourself compliments."

"Thank you.", I hug him.

"I for one think you're attractive."
"Really?!", I look up at him with a bright smile.

"U-uhm sure. Enough hugging. I have to go back to work. See you.", he leaves.

Thought it wasn't much but that made my day and lifted my spirits. During dinner I was actually feeling hungry this time. I ate my food like a wolf pack eating a deer after starving.

"Uhm Felix. You don't have to eat it all.", Chan said.

"I know. I feel like I haven't eaten in years. It happens every once in a while. Plus it's good."

"Glad you are enjoying it."
"Dang Felix is eating like a beast.", Jisung laughs.

"Don't eat so fast or you'll end up with a stomach ache.", Jeongin informs.

"I'll be right back." I get up and ran upstairs then into the bathroom.

I stood myself on the scale and weighed myself. I was stunned at what I saw. My weight went up 2 kilograms. Such an achievement over these last few days.

Minho was right. All I need is time. And after this I had hope. I went back downstairs and heard a conversation.

"We can't tell him. It'll crush him.", I heard Minho's voice.
"And he'll probably go back."

"It's not the end of the world. His appa showed up and we were lucky he didn't do anything illegal.", Chan adds.

'My appa was at the coffee shop? He's looking for me.'

"And he'll come again one day. What do we Chan? We can't let him have Felix.", Jisung says.

"I know. But we also can't force Felix to stay here. If he would want to leave we can't stop him."

"The thought of him leaving...he shouldn't be with that man.", Jeongin voice sounded teary.

I didn't want to go back but if my appa ever came back again and caused them any harm I would never forgive myself.

Tears fell down my face and I went back up to my room. I leaned against the closed door then slowly slide down into the floor.

I hugged my knees and cried softly. I didn't want to go back and I also don't want my friends to get hurt.

'What should I do?'
