Felix slowly walks through the park, a gentle breeze going through his hair while he's listening to music. Sitting down under his favorite tree, he closed his eyes, relaxing and trying to get his mid off his fight with Hyunjin.

"Hey, sorry to bother you again, but you seem a bit down." a voice interruptes him. Felix openes his eyes to see Changbin standing before him.

"Oh, hey." Felix greets him, removing his headphones. "Yeah, I had a little fight with a friend."

Changbin nodds understanding the other. "Let me cheer you up. How about we go get a drink?" he suggests, extending a hand to help Felix up.

Felix considers the offer for a moment before nodding. "Sure." he replies, grateful for the distraction.

As they walk towards a nearby café, Changbin tries to bring up a conversation. "So, what do you do for a living?" he asks.

"I used to work for the police, but I currently don't have a job." Felix answeres, his gaze drifting to the ground.

Changbin nodds. "And what about you?" Felix asks.

"I just finished my studies, and now I'm searching for a job." Changbin replies

Entering the café, they scan the room for an empty table before finding one in a corner. Seated across from each other, they look at the menu, thinking about their choices.

"I think I'll order a hot chocolate. I don't like coffee." Felix decides, putting the menu aside. "What about you?"

"I'll take an iced americano." Changbin replies, catching the attention of the waitress.

After placing their orders, Felix shifts in his seat, curiosity getting the better of him. "What did you study?" he asks, eager to find out more about Changbin.

"Justice. But I neither want to become a lawyer nor a police officer." Changbin admitts, his expression thoughtful. "Not to offend you or anyone, but officers can be a bit stuck-up. They think they're better than us because they have more power."

Felix nodds understanding him. "Yeah, I understand that." he replies softly.

Their drinks arrive, and they continued their conversation for hours as they share stories and laugh thogeter. But as it gets later, Felix starts to feel tired.

"It's pretty late. I should go home." he yawns, rubbing his eyes.

"You seem tired. I'll give you a ride home." Changbin offeres, getting up from his seat and quickly paying for their drinks.

"Thank you." Felix replies gratefully, following Changbin out of the café and towards his car. getting into the passenger seat, he tells Changbin his address, feeling exhausted as he sank into the seat.

"It's a 20-minute ride there, so feel free to sleep a bit." Changbin reassures him, starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.

As the car glides through the quiet streets, Felix couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Changbin for his kindness. And as he slowly falls asleep, he couldn't help but wonder if they will become friends.

"Jisung, can we talk?" Minho's asks, his eyes searching Jisung's face for any sign of discomfort.

Jisung glances up from the TV, surprised by the seriousness in Minho's tone. "Sure." he replies, offering a reassuring smile.

Minho took a seat next to Jisung, reaching over to turn off the TV. Jisung frowns in confusion. "What's wrong? Why did you turn off the TV?" he askes,confused by the sudden change of Minhos' mood.
