Faces Of You

6

   The blond sighed as he listened to his best friend talk about a party this weekend.

   "It is a Halloween party, it'll be fun," Yuqi said.

   "It is just the beginning of October, why have one this soon?" Felix questioned.

   Yuqi hummed and looked at the shirt she had in her hands, "The fraternity has something to do on Halloween so this was the best time since it is a long weekend,"

   "I don't know, Yuqi. I think I am going to stay in. I mean I don't even have a costume," Felix said.

  "We are at the mall, we can get you one. Also, you need to live a little. It'll be fun. Chan is making his jello shots and Minho is handing out candy,"

  Felix sighed, but gave the older a small smile, "Fine, I will go,"

  Yuqi practically smiled like the Cheshire cat, which made Felix question his decision, "Great! I have the perfect costume for you,"

   Felix could feel himself regretting this decision already.

   "You're actually going this weekend?" Jisung questioned surprised.

  Felix nodded and set the test tubes off to the side, "Yuqi is picking out my costume with Soyeon,"

  Jisung blinked trying to process the words said to him. Felix Lee, his best friend who only cared about studying was actually going to a party and he was going to wear a costume.

  "Who are you and what have you done to my best friend?"

  The blond rolled his eyes, "Don't you have a class to go to?" he asked gesturing to the clock.

  Jisung's eyes widened and he cursed, "We aren't done talking about this,"

  Felix shook his head as Jisung rushed out of the lab. Finally, he had some peace. Well, he did for about two minutes.

  "Am I the first one here?"

  Felix looked at the door and pursed his lips, "Professor Jung cancelled his class. He sent out an email,"

  Hyunjin nodded, "So no class?"

  "I would say no, considering he sent an email saying that the class is cancelled today,"

  "Right," Hyunjin muttered.

  An awkward silence fell in the room. Felix was confused as to why Hyunjin was just standing there and Hyunjin wasn't sure why he felt awkward. As Felix went back to organising, Hyunjin came in and sat and one of the lab tables.

  "So are you coming to the party this weekend?" Hyunjin asked.

  "Uh, yeah. I am going with Yuqi and Soyeon,"
 
  Hyunjin nodded.

  "Are you going to be there?" Felix asked trying to make some type of small talk to fill the silence.

  "Yeah. Chan is already perfecting his jello shots. Going with orange and red,"

  Felix nodded, "I never really understood jello shots,"

  "It is mainly to mask the alcohol. The sugar helps hide it, but it can be a problem because people have too many and get drunk," Hyunjin explained.

  "Then why have them in the first place?"

  Hyunjin smiled, "They make for fun party games,"

  The blond hummed.

  "So is this the first party you are going to?" Hyunjin asked.

  "This year? Yes. My first ever? Definitely not,"

  Hyunjin's brows drew together he was under the impression that Felix had never gone to parties from the way Yuqi and pretty much everyone talked about him.

   "How many parties have you been to?"

  "Uh," Felix chuckled a little, "Well, I would tell you if I knew, I barely remember my last month of senior year because of all the parties," He said.

   "See I was under the impression that you have never been to a party before, especially with the way Yuqi and Jisung talked about you," Hyunjin mentioned.

  Felix turned and picked up the beakers on Hyunjin's table, "To be fair, they don't exactly know about that last month. Not because I am embarrassed or anything, but because the things that happened are much less than pure,"

  Hyunjin raised a brow, now he was a little intrigued. Everyone who had spoken about Felix to him, made him out to be someone so innocent and studious, yet that didn't seem to be the case. At least not completely.

  Now he was even more curious about the blond before him.
