I'll Set You Free

Chapter Seven: Questions

Hyunjin ignored Minho's question, they walked to school, eventually the day continued as usual, only thing that was different was his thoughts. Felix was right, every time he would drink water he would think of him, did he used this bottle? Were Hyunjin's lips touching where Felix's lips touched? Why was that thought all of the sudden so important? he caught his heart beating really fast.

By the end of class all of his friends were on a table in the park across the school, Changbin waved at him, he was walking towards them when he felt someone next to him, he looked back to see Felix walking the same direction as him, but Felix was looking at his friends, didn't seem to notice Hyunjin there, did that made him sad? Why would he care?

- "Oh hey, didn't see you there"- Felix said, lying, he did indeed saw Hyunjin, he just pretended not to, why? not even him knows. He saw the boy looking at him, he pretended he didn't see him, he liked having his attention. Hyunjin makes him behaved differently to what he is used to.

-"How was your day?" - The tall boy asked, but Felix couldn't answer, he was grabbed by the arm by Jisung, they walked a few meters away from the rest of the group, Hyunjin looked at them, then turned his face towards his closest friend Minho, he looked upset.

-"Why are you mad?"- He whispered on his ear as he leaned down to sit next to him on the grass, the others where on the table, on the bench, the table was small, so Hyunjin, Minho and Jeongin were on the grass, enjoying the sun.

-"Who said i'm mad?"- He said harshly.

-"You do know you were the one who told him you didn't want anything serious with him, right?"- Hyunjin said softly, only Minho could listen to him. The boy tensed up when he heard that statement.

-"Fuck off, Hyunjin" He said, stood up and walked away from the group, Hyunjin thought of following him, but decided not to, seemed just a bad idea.

-"What happened to him?"- Jisung asked walking back, he was dragging Felix by the hand, he seemed concerned about Minho, only Hyunjin knew why.

-"Who knows, he just in one of his moods" - Changbin answered -"What were you two talking about?"- He continued, narrowing his eyes at the two boys, Seungmin spoke after him -"Yeah! you two seem so close lately"- He said, it caught Hyunjin's attention, he didn't expected that, he didn't realize before, he stood up from the ground.

-" I better go make sure Minho is okay" He said, and he didn't say anything else and left, Felix seemed sad, only Chan noticed though.

..........

Hyunjin didn't have to walk long to find Minho, he was barely moving, walking so slowly, probably because his mind was clouded with thoughts. Hyunjin knew him pretty well, they grew up together, his best friend.

-"Why are you so upset? I told you this could happen"- Hyunjin said once he catch up with the slightly shorter boy.

-"I know, could you stop saying you told me so"- He rolled his eyes, kept walking, now faster, keeping with Hyunjin pace, the other was taller, his steps were longer.

-"I get it, you know, you like him, but you don't want to get your heart broken again, it's pretty common, you know"- He said looking straight ahead, Minho liked when he did that, he would say meaningful things, deep things without looking at him, made it less awkward for both of them, neither liked cheesy things.

-"You speak from experience?"- He raised his eyebrow, where was he trying to get at? Hyunjin thought.

-"Jinnie"- He said softly, it got Hyunjin's attention right away, he stopped walking -"Do you like Felix?"- He said softly, in his voice you could tell he was being careful saying those words, he knew how weird it was for Hyunjin.

-"What makes you think that?"- Hyunjin asked honestly, not being mad or irritated, not even surprised, he was more like scared, if Minho could tell that, did anyones else? Did Felix?

-" I think the last time you looked at someone the way you looked a Felix this morning was when you were in love with that girl a few years ago"- He said, returning to his walk, Hyunjin following him. -"And you didn't look at that girl the same way you did Felix, with him... seems deeper"- He said.

-"I don't know, i think i do, but i'm not sure"- He said hesitantly, was he gay? was he bisexual? was this just a simple attraction towards someone beautiful?

-"Hey it's okay, look at me! i'm a mess!" He laughed, but he smiled faded fast -"I've been a mess all these years, ever since i started liking both boys and girls, couldn't really decide, so i dated both"- He said

-"Breaking a lot of hearts, after someone broke yours"- Hyunjin said before Minho could finish.

-"But then there's him, you know, i broke his heart, like many others, but he is different, you know"- He said kicking a piece of plastic on the floor

-" I don't thought, you never told me what really went down between you two"- The tall boy said, picking said piece of plastic and throwing it in the trash.

-"I'll tell you some other time, right now we are talking about you, and your possible crush on Felix, i mean i can't deny it, that boy got hot over the summer, that's for sure, but i didn't think he would be your type"- Minho said, that made Hyunjin feel confused

-"What is my type?" - He genuinely asked.

-"Huh? Good question, i would have to say girls, but who am i to judge right?" - He laughed.

The whole conversation left Hyunjin wondering some many things, is he gay? What did happen between Minho and Jisung? Is he in love with Jisung? Is Jisung into him? Are Jisung and Felix together? Is Felix gay?

All of this drives Hyunjin insane.
