I'll Set You Free

Chapter Seventeen: Hey Pretty Boy

The next few days went great for Jisung, he was enjoying his time with his boyfriend, he loved hanging out with him, making out with him and many more things with him.

It will take a while for Minho to feel completely comfortable with his friends, he mostly talks with Jisung and Hyunjin lately, not in the mood to talk to anyone else. Changbin and Seungmin eventually caught up to the latest news, they always seemed to be last in everything.

Spending so much time with Minho meant spending time with Hyunjin, and as that happened, Jisung realized that boy was completely falling for Felix, how were they not together already? He knew from Minho that they have kissed and had some moments and also text a lot. But lately Hyunjin seemed so into Felix, constantly talking about him, asking Jisung questions about him, but it made Jisung wonder even more... why wasn't him just asking Felix out?

He asked that to Minho, he shrugged his shoulders
-"Probably Chan, he gets scary when he wants"- Minho said smiling, Jisung rolled his eyes.

-"What are you talking about?"- Hyunjin arrived, sat next to them, at the park across the street from the school, they had a free period, didn't have class until next hour.

-"Jisung is wondering why wouldn't you ask Felix out already"- Minho said smirking.

-"I"- Hyunjin didn't expected the question at all
-"I don't know if he likes me"- He said honestly, Jisung shook his head drastically

-"Oh come on! you two text all day long, cant keep you eyes from each other... how? how don't you know if he likes you or not?"- He said annoyed. Minho chuckled

-"I've been saying the exact same thing for days now"- Minho said, Hyunjin rolled his eyes.

-"I declared my intentions for him, i kissed him and said i liked him... he smiled and that's it! He didn't kiss me back, he didn't say he liked me... how can i actually know?"- Hyunjin said, he felt relieved saying that, it seemed like he kept those feelings inside.

-"Oh"- Jisung said, he thought if Hyunjin said those things and Felix didn't do or say anything, what more could Hyunjin do?

-"I didn't know, i thought..."- He didn't finish his sentence, a blonde tall boy was walking towards them, Minho saw him too, Hyunjin turned around.

The guy had to be just a few inches smaller than Hyunjin, blonde sort hair, he seemed to recognize Jisung, he walked past Hyunjin.

-"Hey, sorry... are you Jisung?"- He asked, he seemed in a rush, Minho stood up, he was protective over Jisung, it made Hyunjin smile.

-"And you are?"- Minho said, Jisung stood up next to him, grabbed his hand.

-"I'm sorry, i'm looking for someone, and i think you know him, you would if your name is Jisung" He said trying to get Jisung to agreed -"Look, i know you are, i saw pictures of you, sorry for coming here like this, you must think im crazy, i'm just looking for Felix"- He said, Minho looked at Hyunjin, Jisung did too.

-"Who are you? Why are you looking for Felix? What are you to him?"- Hyunjin asked, his voice deep, he came closer to the blonde guy.

-"My name is Matt, i'm his friend... well more than that"- He said, Hyunjin's stomach dropped, what did he meant by that?

-"What are you talking about? Felix has few friends and you are not one of them"- Minho said.

-"Look, i don't have time to explain everything to you, i just need to find Felix"- He said, he seemed desperate by now.

-"He is not here"- Hyunjin said, coldly, but to his very very bad luck Jeongin and Felix were walking towards them, they were looking for them to go back to class, it was about to start.

Hyunjin heard his voice and turned around, Jeongin was crossing the street when he noticed Felix stopped walking, on the other side of the street was Minho, holding hands with Jisung, Hyunjin was there too with another boy, the boy smiled widely when he saw Felix, Jeongin turned around and saw Felix standing still, he didn't seem to be breathing, his eyes focused on the guy, who was he?

-"Hey pretty boy"- Matt said to Felix, who stood still in the middle of the street, Hyunjin noticed this and walked towards him dragging him to the sidewalk, Felix never took his eyes off of Matt, great Hyunjin thought.

-"What's happening?... Hi, who are you?" Joengin asked Matt, this one smiled and looked back at Felix.

Hyunjin's heart was racing, why was Felix acting so strange, who was this guy, why was Felix so shocked.

-"Get the hell away from me!"- He finally said, Hyunjin knew not to trust Matt from the moment he saw Felix's reaction

-"Hey, Lixie, don't be so mean to me... I'm not here because of us, i'm here because of you, i have to talk to you, tell you something important"- He said, his voice went from cocky to soft, strange.

-"Go away Matt, please"- Felix's voice cracked, all the boys looked at him worried.

Hyunjin doesn't know how it happened, but it was fast, one moment Matt was about to say something and the other moment he was on the floor, grabbing his nose, Chan showed up out of nowhere, and punched him in the face. Everyone gasped, where did he come from?

-"You heard him you asshole! Get away from him"- Chan said, looking down

-"Who the hell are you? This is none of your business, okay? I have to talk to Felix... It's about your sister"- He said as he was getting up but Chan punched him again.

-"Christopher, stop!"-Felix said. He walked closer to Matt on the floor

-"What are you talking about? What happened to my sister?"- Felix asked, his voice shaking.

-"Can we talk somewhere private? Please?"- Matt pleaded, finally able to stand up.

Felix sighed, he stared at the boy in front of him, still grabbing his nose, clearly in pain -"Everyone, get back to class, we've skipped enough already... I'll deal with this"- Felix said, dryly, no emotion at all, not like Felix at all. He started walking away with his bag, Matt following him, walking around Chan expecting another punch. This time Chan held back.

-"Felix, wait"- Hyunjin said, Felix turned back, his eyes red, it broke Hyunjin to seem like that.

-"I'll be okay, just go. I have to deal with this"- He said, his voice shaking, he was trying to hold his tears, the image broke Hyunjin in every possible way. The two boys left.

-"Who the hell was that?"- Jisung yelled at Chan, he looked worried, Hyunjin could see Chan wanted to run and take Felix with him.

-"Remember how Felix told us the story about some dude, that broke his heart back in Australia, and that was the reason he felt the need to change so much?... Well, there you have it, that's the asshole"- Chan said, everyone looked back at the boys, Felix was keeping his distance from Matt, clearly uncomfortable -"That's not only what worries me... If he is here, it means something really bad happened to Rachel"- He finished. It was the first time Hyunjin heard Felix's sister's name, Felix's ex boyfriend... did he actually know Felix at all?

All he knows is that he wanted Felix back right that moment, he couldn't handle the idea that Felix needed him, and he wasn't there. So he ran.
