   Felix exited his bathroom, jumping when he saw Jeongin.

   "Seriously, you couldn't wait downstairs?" Felix asked.

    "Got bored. I already gave Chaewon her bday gift," Jeongin held out his hand giving Felix a small box.

   "Not going to wait until dinner later?" Felix asked, taking the box.

  Jeongin shook his bed and scooted over so Felix could sit down, "Who is the painting from?"

    Felix glanced at the painting that he had propped against the wall, "It is from Hyunjin,"

   The younger hummed, "He likes you,"
   The older rolled his eyes, "We are barely friends,"

   Jeongin sat up and helped Felix put on the necklace, "Keep telling yourself that,"

   "So who all is downstairs, right now?"

  "Hyunjin, Yeji, Yuna, Ryujin, Wonyoung, pretty much everyone," Jeongin said standing up.

   Felix nodded.

   "By the way, Seungmin is mine now,"

"Finally, got around to asking him out?" Felix asked.

   "Took awhile, but I did,"

  Felix smiled, "Good, I am happy for you two,"

   "Okay, let's go downstairs," Jeongin said.

   The two went downstairs and Chaewon tackled Felix into a hug.

  "Are you ready for dinner?" Chaewon asked.

    "Yeah, I am. Where exactly are we going?” Felix asked.

“I have no clue,” Chaewon said, letting go of her twin.

  “It is a surprise for you two.

Everyone split up into groups, so we can get going,” Ms. Lucy said.

  Everyone did split into groups and it almost seemed like everyone was doing everything to avoid grouping up with Hyunjin and Felix.

   “So, I guess it is us together,” Felix said.

  Hyunjin nodded.

   The two got in the car, Hyunjin started it up and pulled out of the driveway.

   “The painting was beautiful,” Felix said softly.

   Hyunjin bit his lip, “It took a while especially since I’ve never seen the forest during the winter,” He said.

  “Maybe you’ll get to see it while you are here,”

   “I don’t know… I leave next month,”

  Felix nodded, “Right, your sentence in purgatory is up,” he joked.

   Hyunjin didn’t really see it as that. At least not anymore, not when he found something he likes here.

   “When do you leave?” Hyunjin questioned.

  “Next month too. I might head to Chicago or something…”

  “You said that you were feeling lost, did you find what you wanted?”

   Felix pursed his lips. Did he find what he wanted?

  “Maybe? I guess I'll find out when I am back to working,” Felix told him.

   “Just don't overwork yourself. Set boundaries,” Hyunjin stated.

   “What about you? Did you find what you needed while here?”
