Faces Of You

   "Damn, now I owe Jisung twenty dollars," Minho huffed.

   Hyunjin looked at him confused, "What?"

   "We made a bet on how long Felix would keep the neck scarf. Jisung bet two days, I said he'd keep it until the hickeys were gone,"

   Hyunjin looked over at Felix who was sitting across the quad talking with two of his friends. It seemed like Felix did decide to get rid of the neck scarf.

  "Why would you make a bet on that?" Hyunjin questioned.

  Minho shrugged, "Boredom. Anyways, did you two hook up?"

  Hyunjin looked at him like he had three heads, "Why are you asking me that?"

  "His headband was in your room and he has been avoiding the topic of you and the hook-up,"

  Hyunjin pressed his lips together, did he and Felix hook up? The night was fuzzy. He was still getting bit and pieces of it as the days went by. He vaguely remembers Jisung and Felix doing a drinking game and then the dare.

   "Oh my god," Hyunjin muttered.

  "What?" Minho questioned.

   How could he forget that? How could he forget that he slept with Felix? It was like everything from that night hit Hyunjin like a ton of bricks. The body shot, the kissing in front of everyone and everything after that.

   "No way, you guys actually slept together?"

  Minho just needed the confirmation.

  Minho raised a brow, "Well?

  Hyunjin shook his head, "Nothing, uh, yeah we slept together, but it doesn't really matter, we were drunk and did something we probably shouldn't have,"

  Minho hummed.

  Hyunjin pressed his lips together and glanced back over to Felix.

  The blond was talking on the phone with someone. He seemed a little upset about whatever he talking about.

  "I can't just come on such short notice and to bring a date?"

  "Well, you need to come. It is a public event and you need to show up with a date. Bring Yuqi or Jisung,"

  "Both have significant others," Felix said.

  His mother sighed, "How about I just set you up with someone? A family friend,"

  "No, I will figure it out. Bye, mom,"

  Felix hung up and sighed. This was just lovely. Between this and classes and then the commitment that he made with Chan. He couldn't back out of any of it.

  "I could ask Chan or something," he muttered.

  Was he actually about to do this? Was actually about to knock on the door in front of him and ask his ex to come to a stupid family obligation?

  Yes, he was.

  He knocked on the door with a sigh.

  Seconds later, the door opened.

  "Long time no see, babe,"

  Felix rolled his eyes and entered the flat.

  "So, what do I owe the pleasure, love?" the older asked.

  "Can you come with me to a family obligation?" Felix asked.

  The man smiled, "What do I get out of it?"

  "Nothing, you owe me," Felix stated.

  "Since when? I don't remember owing you anything,"

  Felix raised a brow and smiled, "Fine, you get my continued silence about that night in jail, Wes,"

  Wes clenched his jaw, "You wouldn't,"

  "But why wouldn't I? It in no way implicates me. You were the one driving while drunk, I simply bailed you out. It would be a shame if people found out that the heir to the James group had a record," Felix said.

  "You're conniving, you know that?" Wes asked with a small smile.

  The blond smiled, "I've been told that once or twice,"

  "When do I pick you up?"

  "Tomorrow at 8," Felix said beginning to leave.

   Wes nodded and turned to face Felix, "Next time go blackmail someone else,"

   Felix looked at the older, "You know, maybe I'd feel worse if you didn't sleep with your ex while I was in the hospital, but you did, so I don't feel bad,"

  "Sometimes I wonder how I even dated you," Wes said.

  "You wonder that a lot and then you come around asking to get back together, maybe you should go talk to someone about that, besides Jamie. By the way, I hope she and her husband are doing well unless they are over since you and her seem to be having fun," Felix mentioned.

  The blond left leaving the other just standing there wondering how he knew so much.
