The next week, they were back at school, Felix spent the weekend texting Hyunjin, they got to know each other more, Felix finally knew Hyunjin's favorite breakfast now, wouldn't let himself be fouled by Minho again.

Chan showed his disapproval over the whole situation, he really hated Hyunjin, Felix still didn't understand the reason why.

Felix was eager to talk to someone else this week, it was Jisung, he wouldn't answer his texts over the weekend, Felix wanted to know how the whole thing with Minho went down, and as he walked entering the school he saw Minho and Hyunjin, they were talking about something that made Minho blused, Hyunjin was laughing, Felix stared, he enjoyed watching Hyunjin laugh.

-"Enjoying the view?"- Minho asked, bringing Felix back to reality, it made Hyunjin stop laughing and turned around, his face softened when he saw the blonde boy, he waved at him, and as Felix started walking towards the boys, someone grabbed him by the back of his vest, dragging him to the opposite direction, all Felix could see before turning around was Hyunjin's shocked and sad expression on his face.

-"What the hell?"- He said turning around to see Jamie was the one who grabbed him. -"What?"- He said, she kept dragging him, this time by his arm, she took him to a table, Jeongin, Jisung and Chan were sitting there.

-"Here, there you have him"- She said sitting next to Jisung -"Could you please start with the story, now?"- She said.

-"Could someone explain him though"- Jeongin said, looking at Felix's confused face

-"Jisung wants to tell us something, but he only wants to tell us once, and all at once, so he wasn't going to speak until you arrive"- Chan said sighing, he looked tired.

-"What is it?"- Felix asked, he felt frustrated, he wanted to talk to Hyunjin so bad, and the look on his face when he was being dragged by Jamie, it broke Felix's heart.

-"I have a boyfriend"- Jisung finally said, the three friends gasped, smiled and congratulated him.

-"Who is the poor dude?"- Chan asked laughing, Jisung looked at Felix, everyone then looked at him

-"No fucking way!"- Chan said.

-"What? no! it's not Felix"- Jisung said rapidly, Chan's face relaxed

-"Then why did you look at him?"- Jeongin asked -"Ohh he knows, right?"- He continued.

-"Is..."- He said looking down, it was hard for him
to admit it, but why?

-"Hey, it's okay, you can tell us, we are happy for you"- Jamie said reassuring the boy, he was shaking, why was he so afraid of telling them? Felix suspected who was his boyfriend but he wouldn't say.

-"Yeah, she's right, it's not like is Minho or someone like that"- Chan said, laughing. Jisung lifted his head quickly, the tension grew fast, Felix eyes widened, Jisung's too. Seeing his face Chan realized, everyone realized who Jisung was talking about.

-"Oh my god!" - Jamie said.

-"Wait, what? how? when?"- Jeongin asked now confused just like Felix was before.

Why was Minho and Jisung relationship such a shock to everyone? Did Felix missed something?

-"Dude! after everything he did? you gave him a chance? again? you know he will hurt you right?"- Chan said getting up, it seemed like sitting down prevented him from expressing all his frustration.

-"It's not like that anymore, Chan"- Jisung said softly, he seemed disappointed, sad. It made Felix feel guilty.

-"You need to calm down"- Felix said, Chan turned around looking furious, now even Felix was scared.

-"What? No! This is stupid!"- Chan said.

-"Hey what's going on?"- Seungmin appeared with Changbin -"We could hear Chan's voice from miles away"- He continued, they both stopped the moment the saw the situation, Jeongin was hugging Jisung who looked miserable, Chan was red furious, Jamie trying to calm him down, Felix was just standing there not understanding much what was going on.

What he did understand was that the two boy coming behind Changbin would make things way more complicated, Felix alarmed eyes worried Hyunjin, who walked faster with Minho next to him.

-"What's happening?"- Minho said, his eyes met Jisung's who got up instantly when he heard his voice.

Chan on other hand turned around the moment he heard him, his face... Felix never saw him like that before, why was he so mad?

-"I swear you two pieces of shit!"- He said, he started walking towards them, Felix heard Jisung screaming Chan's name, Jeongin was already running behind Chan to stop him, Jamie kept calling him.

It was Changbin who stopped him, putting himself in front of Chan, pushing him back, Chan looked at him now more furious, was he about to hit Changbin? he was bigger and stronger than Chan, this could simply end so badly.

-"What's your problem Christopher?"- Hyunjin asked, Oh fuck, you didn't! Felix thought.

Chan's eyes were filled with rage now, he walked a few meters back just to turn around willing to push Changbin away to get to the two boys behind him, Felix already knew what Chan would do, so he acted quickly.

-"Calm the fuck down!"- Felix said, he moved fast, he was in front of Chan, the boy stood still, during the whole argument he forgot about Felix, the way he spoke, his deep voice deeper and louder.

-"You and I need to walk away from this"- Felix said looking at Chan, the boy was looking past Felix, he couldn't take his eyes off Hyunjin and Minho, Chan tried again, pushing Felix to the side, but Felix knew this, so he grabbed his arm, put his leg right behind's Chan's and pull him back, the leg's position made Chan lose stability and fell back, Felix sat on top of him

-"ENOUGH"- He screamed.

Everyone was silent, no one dare to move an inch, no one ever saw Felix like that, not even Chan. Felix kept looking down at him, out of air, he slowly got up, and helped Chan get up as well.

-"Don't look at them, look at me"- Felix said just as Chan was turning his head, he didn't, he kept looking at Felix's eyes. Everyone kept still.

-"You and I, we need to go now"- He said, his voice, it kept Chan's attention, not even Jamie could make Chan listen to her like that. He looked hypnotized.

But he did as Felix said, grabbed his bag, the blonde boy grabbed his, and the two walked away from the group, everyone staring at them.

-"What the hell was that?"- Seungmin said breaking the silence.

-"That's what Chan does when he protects one of his friends"- Jamie said looking towards Minho, the boy looked pale, Hyunjin looked at him, and back at Jamie

-"I don't understand"- Changbin said -"What are you talking about? Who was he protecting?"- He asked, Jamie looked at Jisung, who by now was crying.

-"Chan's upset Jisung and I are dating, after i broke Jisung's heart last summer"- Minho said, he swallowed, and then turned around, walking away, Jisung followed him.

-"Wait what?"- Seungmin said.

-"I'm still shocked at the way Felix handled that"- Jeongin said, Hyunjin nodded, he agreed, Felix somehow controlled Chan in his worst behavior, it was impressive.

Hyunjin stared at the two boys leaving the school premises together, they didn't seem like talking, just seem like they needed space. In the opposite direction, Hyunjin saw his best friend clearly arguing with Jisung, it made him feel bad, Minho seemed so excited about the relationship status this morning, and just an hour later he seemed miserable.
